Intercity Emu of Norwegian Railways class BM70 hasting down the meadows between Fredrikstad and Sarpsborg in the southeastern corner of Norway on 06.04.2000.  

This class was introduced as high speed units in 1992, and, in fact, their top speed of 160 kilometres per hour was impressive enough eight years ago.  Since then, they have lost some of their glance as two later classes of Emus have a top speed of 210 kilometres per hour.
