Moss Station (Norwegian: Moss stasjon) is a railway station located in downtown Moss in Østfold, Norway. The station is located on the Østfold Line and serves as terminal station for Line 550 of the Oslo Commuter Rail service to Oslo Central Station and onwards to Spikkestad as well as a stop of the InterCity Express services to Halden. All services are operated by the Norwegian State Railways. Moss Station opened as part of the railway in 1879.
In 1923, an agreement was made by which the restaurant was to be taken over by Norsk Spisevognselskap in 1924. However, private operation continued until 1 October 1941, when operations were taken over by Spisevognselskapet.
Famous quotes containing the words moss and/or station:
“We talked between the Rooms—
Until the Moss had reached our lips—
And covered up—our names—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
