History

Rødkærsbro station opened on 20 July 1863 with the opening of the Langå-Viborg section of the Langå-Struer railway line.[4] In 1864, the railway line was continued from Viborg to Skive and in 1865 to Struer.[5] In 1912, Rødkærsbro station also became the northern terminus of the new Kjellerup railway line from Rødkærsbro to Kjellerup, which was prolonged to Silkeborg in 1924.[6]

The Kjellerup Line was closed in 1968.[3] And in 1974, Rødkærsbro station was closed but continues as a railway halt.[7]
