The city of Pigeon Forge located in East Tennessee, is surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains and beautiful scenery for every season. This town is made up of a delightful mix of life-long residents, young families attracted by nature’s beauty, and folks who have chosen to spend their retirement years in Pigeon Forge.
The early history of this town dates back to before the Revolutionary War. The first business was established in the early 1800s. While Pigeon Forge once was a small farming community, the lure of the mountains brought more and more visitors to the area, and new businesses were established to meet the needs of these travelers.
Today, Pigeon Forge is a major tourist destination, and while the city takes care of more than 10 million people who visit each year, their residents are still our top priority. In addition to the Smoky Mountain scenery, Pigeon Forge has plenty of parks and recreational areas, an outstanding community center and public library, as well as an excellent educational system that ranges from pre-school through high school.

The station was opened in 1895 as part of the now abandoned Setesdal Line from Kristiansand to Byglandsfjord. The station was the only station on the line to be built with bricks, due to local regulations after the city fire in 1892. Like all other stations on the line, the station was designed by Paul Due.
In 1937, Norsk Spisevognselskap agreed to take over operations of the restaurant when the Sørland Line was completed to Kristiansand. Operations started on 16 June 1938, a week before the line opened. On 9 December 1940, the company decided to invest 100,000 kr in a new restaurant building at the station. It was taken into use on 28 November 1942

The photograph captures a bustling scene in Vienna, Austria. Several people are seated on a concrete ledge in front of a shop called 'WORLD of SOUVENIRS'. The shop window displays a variety of souvenirs, and a large banner above the entrance features a stylized illustration of Vienna's skyline, including the Ferris wheel. The people in the photo are dressed in casual summer clothing, and many are wearing sunglasses. Some are looking at their phones, while others are chatting with each other. The overall impression is one of relaxation and enjoyment.
