Norwegian State Railways electric locomotive of class El.16 with peak hour regional train for Sarpsborg 109 kilometres south of Oslo in the early afternoon of 23.06.2000.  Probably, it is waiting for a crossing train, as this particular line is single-tracked.

The coach behind the locomotive once ranged among the most comfortable 2. class passenger coaches in Norway, with reclining, turnable seats and well space even for long legs.  Today, however, its age (37 years) has removed this class from the best express trains to more humble duties.
