Today’s #CrossBorderRail will involve Deutsche Bahn. Taking wagers on whether I will make it.

This means this summer I might, finally, get to one of the most remote #CrossBorderRail lines
And as I will depart from Oslo to Sweden through Kongsvinger I will then have all the Nordic #CrossBorderRail lines complete 💪
