History

Movatn Station (Norwegian: Movatn stasjon) is an unmanned railway station on the Gjøvik Line at Movatn in Maridalen, Oslo, Norway. The station is located about 19 km from Oslo S between Snippen Station and Nittedal Station and was first opened in 1900 as a crossing track, two years ahead of the opening of Gjøvikbanen.

In 1927 the station was upgraded with a station building and converted to a manned station reserved for passengers and freight. In 1935 Movatn was officially designated a station. The station became remote controlled in 1971, and the following year it became unmanned. In 1975 the station building was demolished.

The station lies at an altitude of 271.8 m AMSL and now has a small shack to protect waiting passengers. It has parking spaces for ten cars.

gollark: It's just a streaming server, so I'd have to have another thing (... probably mpd too) forwarding audio to icecast anyway.

gollark: Icecast is more industry-standard-y, but it was also annoying to work with and mpd pretty much works ish.

gollark: mpd and ympd are open source, the frontend can be downloaded trivially (you can, I'll allow it), and the five lines of code are five lines of code.

gollark: It's basically just- mpd (HTTP output)- ympd (for management)- ~five lines of code in my random stuff API backend which connect to mpd to provide current song information- a flaky JS/HTML frontend

gollark: MPD.
