It's either Narvik (Norway) or Murmansk (Russia) -- probably Murmansk by a few miles.
So you would want to try and link up with the Russian railways.
Good luck and Happy Xmas !!

Most Northerly Station with a passenger service is Pechenga, in Russia (North West of Murmansk) - on a branch of the October Railway. The line actually continues a bit further north (freight only) - I don't know the actual end of the line.
It's significantly further north than the line to Narvik.
There was at one time an industrial railway on Spitsbergen (for the coal mine there), which is further North, but this is long gone.
