Halden Station (Norwegian: Halden stasjon) is a railway station located in downtown Halden in Østfold, Norway, located on the Østfold Line. The station is served by Norwegian State Railways InterCity Express on an hourly or semi-hourly service from Oslo Central Station, with Halden being the terminal station for all but three daily services to Gothenburg. The station was opened in 1879 as part of the Østfold Line.
The restaurant was taken over by Norsk Spisevognselskap on 1 January 1921, but then leased out to remain under the company's control. Three years later, the company again started operating the restaurant.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“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)
