#TrainThursday - NationalTheateret Station, Oslo, Norway

An inter-city train from Oslo S (Oslo Central Station), heading west to Bergen, Norway. The train is passing through the National Theater station in downtown Oslo, so he's traveling very slow. Once he clears Oslo, this train will work up to a solid 130-150km in-between major stations.

And why was I in the station when this train went by about 0815CET this morning? I was waiting for a "Lokaltog" (local train) to take me two stations west, to Lysaker. That's the Oslo suburb where Hitachi Data Systems is located, and where I'm teaching this week.

National Theater is a busy downtown station, so when the inter-city, express, and freight trains come through, they make PA announcements and put warnings up on the platform monitors.

Happy Train Thursday! What's your train story/experience of the week?
