The new Intercity Emus of class 73b are technically similar to the class 73a (Signatur), but instead of restaurant facilities, there are self-service automats offering hot and cold drinks, snacks and sandwiches.  

Class 73b went into service in regional trains between Kristiansand and Stavanger in southwestern Norway in the 1. half of 2002.  However, this picture was taken in Fredrikstad 09.11.02 when the new train was introduced to the travellers on the "Østfold line" between Oslo and the Swedish border in southeast.
