Traveling by night train is a unique experience. How much so ever you are used to long-distance sleeper journeys, each and every morning leaving a night train in the early morning feels magic.
You wake up, half of your train still sleeping. Pale light from the reading lights in the other compartments. Nothing but the gentle noise from the wheel sets on the tracks and switches. You leave the train, see sleepy faces, families lifting their luggage from the old voyage wagons. Train attendants assisting, some business managers with trolley suitcases. Everyone silently walking towards the main hall of a dark station, all share in common they arrived from a night train from abroad for different purposes.
It's a magic experience. This is the true kind of travels I love.
Good morning Scandinavia !
