to catch the train [?]

Or "to get to the train".

I would just like to point out that the translations, as far as I can tell, are hinting that there was a shortage of time. How about adding "in time"?

This would also imply "in time."

... so I could catch the train.

It could then be linked directly to the indirectly-linked Japanese sentence.

-> I took a taxi so I could catch the train.

I think this sentence is a wrong translation of the Norwegian sentence.
The verb "nå" means:
arrive at a place in time to be able to attend or participate in something, get into a means of transport, etc. (google translation)

"Catch" does mean "arrive at a place in time to be able to attend or participate in something, get into a means of transport, etc."

I wrote these sentences:

I took a taxi so I'd be in time to catch the train.

#10038572
I took a taxi so I could catch the train.

#10038570

#10038568
