Once again you have given us another amazing treat. Winter, Spring Summer and now Fall on the sames lines. This too is now on my bucket list -- to ride this particular line in person. I for one will make a donation. Thanks for sharing what you will use the funds for. it's a price worth the admission of a ride. Thank You for turning on the lights in the tunnels. The countryside is beautiful but I also find the tunnels and how they are structured fascinating. Being able to hear the ambient noise is adds so much to the experience. But the view from the front of the cab and where you place the camera is spectacular. Thank you for all the postings you have done. You are bringing great joy to so very many others. dh
Thanks for another great video! It's great that you feature videos showing both directions on the Bergen and Flam lines. For me, the video is entirely different when viewed going to Bergen as opposed to going from Bergen. Thanks for the wonderful video capture and editing!
Even though this is 5 years old I will watch it because you use a great camera for filming the trip and it never seems to get old. Now if you wanted to make this video more current and updated you could take pictures of infrastructure improvements along that way that have been added in the last 5 years. Show them to us or note them for us as the train moves along. Love the sound of the rain on this video … near the beginning of the trip. Love your bad weather. Always good to be on a train in bad weather.
@@CrestwoodRocks Thank You. I did know that RailCowGirl moved to freight trains but I also enjoy looking through her older videos. I love her freight train work as the trains move a little more slowly and I see more of the scenery and infrastructure.
Another beautiful video worth of you. Please continue to uploading awesome landascapes as these!!!! We have landscapes like these in Argentina but no trains to travel across them
Love this video! The scenery is amazing I love the tunnels with the beautiful lighting coming through! Would like to have seen the headlights on in the darker areas , but just simply amazing! Please post more like this! Thank you for making this.
Bravo !! Excellent video. I would guess it was shot within the last week. Now I can see where all the construction material is being used. I watch the Finse Cam regularly.
I capture a screen grab from the Finse cam every day. Snow melt matches the beginning of the second week in September exactly. Snow will continue to melt at least for the next week.
Nice to see this journey again, I have done the full Oslo to Bergen journey in summer which was truly amazing especially the part across the Hardangervidda which was still covered in snow and partly frozen lakes. It would be great to see that whole journey.
An urban freight line operates 750 ft. from my N. Ohio house. The engineer often sounds the horn Five Times before reaching the gates nearby (fewer times in dead of night).
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. We don't have a single high-speed rail line in Canada :( A friend who grew up in Paris said our trains are the ones France threw away 100 years ago LOL!
PCoutcast no. VIA runs at 145-160kph on all the corridor routes in Qc/On. Bergen-Ål averages 70-90, just about half the speed. Also no Canadian passenger trains ever touched French soil.
I see you have a signal with a flashing white light a long distance before you come to a road crossing. Does this show that the warning to reoad traffic is working? And if it is not working, Is the warning light far enough back from the road crossing to allow you to safely stop before you arrive there? I too have wondered which station we were passing through. May I suggest that you loudly say the name of the station when you come to it. That way those of us who are not Norwegian will learn how to say the name correctly.
Correct, those are snowsheds. Take a look at my video called “Stormy conditions on the mountain pass”, and you’ll see some harrowing winter conditions on the mountain :)
Love your series of videos! A few thoughts from the states: 1) Do you all use some form of cab signaling? I only see signals at controlled junctions. 2) It's interesting how little radio chatter takes place. Here in the states we seem to be on the radio at all times! Please keep the videos coming, they are intellectually fascinating and emotionally soothing.
+CG Tower 1. We do not have cab signals, yet. Signals are only present at controlled junctions and between junctions where the line is separated into two blocks due to distance. The system we use is called ATC wich will stop you if you do not reduce speed before a red signal, or if you pass one.
+andCG Tower a little note on the lack of radio chatter. We use a closed telephone system. So the traffic controller calls the train directly, but we can also activate conference calls for all trains in a certain area.
I'm new here but can you tell me what Country this is in? It's just beautiful I want to live here. I don't know so much about taking the train though, how do you go through all those underground tunnels, I'm sorry I just couldn't do it. That one long long long tunnel where you can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel yea that one kind freaked me out and I was watching a video so I can only imagine info real life. I'm guessing a bottle of Scotch before and during and maybe lol. But thanks it was such a beautiful train ride. Thank you.
I was way off with my thinking must of been the scotch lol. It is very beautiful there. Perhaps a bucket list item for me in the future. Thank you for letting me know very kind. Have a good day.
If you like fjords and steep mountains, Norway's west coast is really the place to put on your bucket list. We have the second steepest normal gauge rail road in Europe. The Flam Line. It goes from Myrdal (866,5m above sea level) to Flam (Flåm 2m above sea level). The ride is a spectacle both summer and winter. I have a fast forward of it here on the channel during winter. Will post a minute by minute in the near future.
If you are going to do video Flamsbanen, do it from Flam to Murdall, please. There are at least 3 videos ftom Murdal to Flam but there are not any video in other direction :o( Thank you!
What I've noticed in your videos is the lack of wildlife, deer, elk etc. Is it just uncommon to see them or is there something on the loco that warns them off. We put these whistles on our semi trucks in Idaho to scare off deer.
Thank you for a fantastically dramatic cab ride. I have subscribed!! The line is a magnificent engineering feat. How long will it be before the line between Bergen and Arna is double tracked??
Haha! I'm not the one who get to make a call on that. That'll be totally up to the company. For all I know it might not even be the company I drive for.
+Joanne Mack the rendering crashed this morning at 100%, so it’s rendering the video again. Will upload it when I get back home :D It will be the Bergen-Line from Oslo to Aal with engine pickup in Lodalen :) hopefully, UA-cam will let this one be 2K resolution :D It will be the EL18 loco with B7 coaches :)
Hi! I had a suggestion and that would be to put the station names on the video. Would that be too much trouble or not? Just wondering! Waiting for your next video!!!! Regards, Dana Mack
At time 30:00 in trip I am technically oriented (power plants) and wondered if the pneumatic sound is from brakes or an electro-pneumatic control system? Doubt it is the latter!@@RailCowGirl
Hi! I asked yesterday about the new video you were having trouble with, and no reply, so I will try again! Any success in uploading that new video yet? Regards, Dana Mack :))))
Success! It's uploading as we speak. The problems I encountered was just the start of a series of problems. Solved them all, managed to render it. Now uploading 91GB :D
Hello, I have no tried to render the madness three times. And adobe media encoder CC 2017 keeps stopping at 100%. It basically never completes the container of the file. Will now try to export directly from Premiere to see if that works out. The rendering time for a 3 hour long video is 9 hours and 36 minutes. :( Truly sorry. I really hope I'll be able to wake up in the morning and upload it to youtube :D
+Crow T. Robot ah, it’s to prevent the snow from blowing onto and cover the tracks. Basically a wind wall. :) it reduces the amount of snow that packs the track.
Фантастика! Ваша страна прекрасна! Вы здорово ее показываете всем. Спасибо за работу и не оставляйте свой труд!
Большое спасибо! :D
27:53 WOW this place so beautiful!

Wow ! What and amazing trip from Oslo on those two video's !!! Thank you for sharing it with us "HinduCowGirl" you are my kind of "Girl" !!! :):):)
Nice video
Thank you!
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. We don't have a single high-speed rail line in Canada :( A friend who grew up in Paris said our trains are the ones France threw away 100 years ago LOL!
The speed varies from about 50-160 km/h, so not high speed by european standards
Right...definitely high speed by Canadian standards though :)
PCoutcast no. VIA runs at 145-160kph on all the corridor routes in Qc/On. Bergen-Ål averages 70-90, just about half the speed. Also no Canadian passenger trains ever touched French soil.
here in Texas they still hire someone to ride shotgun ......le sigh
37:54 Looks these landscape, it Looks like paradise. Swim that cold lake? Er no thanks!
Delightful!
Love your vids. mooo
love it, thanks.
Absolutely fascinating - and I, too, would like to see a shot of the train, please?
+balmesh will add a shot of the train in future vids :)
Thanks very much!
just amazing country
Please show what the train looks like before the beginning of the video. I like to know what I am riding on. Thanks!
+Ray Schmid will do :)
1:39:44 Train to Oslo

I too have wondered which station we were passing through. May I suggest that you loudly say the name of the station when you come to it. That way those of us who are not Norwegian will learn how to say the name correctly.
Yes, it’s a pre-signal for the level crossing. :) and the distance is good enough to stop :)
Station names has been added as text.
Finse without snow. 😮
Indeed, just a few months of the year :)
And...with all the bicycles!
You seem to be driving through makeshift tunnels. Are these to protect the track from heavy snowfall?
Correct, those are snowsheds. Take a look at my video called “Stormy conditions on the mountain pass”, and you’ll see some harrowing winter conditions on the mountain :)
A hint! Make a 360º video, will be amazing!

wow ! Good qualité image ! please what's name of camera ?
This was the GoPro Hero 5 Black :)
what train are you driving is it a el18 and what is it number and what vmax is it thank you love your films
michele edwards the EL18, didn’t take the number.
Vmax for the train is 160km/h :)
thank you for the answer i have been train spotting form your videos as i cannot sit in a cold place with arthritas
Any danger of obstacles on the track? Can the lead car handle an impact?
The engine can take a pretty hard hit. :)

Nope, you don't see animals as often here as you do in North America. They stay away from people and are mostly active in dusk and dawn.
Thank you for a fantastically dramatic cab ride. I have subscribed!! The line is a magnificent engineering feat. How long will it be before the line between Bergen and Arna is double tracked??
+ian taf the new one will open in 2021 or something. Then they will close the old tunnel for upgrade. So 2024 I guess :p
Thanks for replying. Just make sure that your driving the first train through with camera at the ready!! Best wishes to you. ;-)
Haha! I'm not the one who get to make a call on that. That'll be totally up to the company. For all I know it might not even be the company I drive for.
Could you show in the text, where on the video the stops at Finse, Myrdal, Voss etc are please.
You mean the minutes as in chapters? Like i’ve done in the newer videos?
Yes that’s correct
Dana Mack: Any idea when your next cab ride might be forthcoming? Thanks.
+Joanne Mack hopefully on Monday :D editing this weekend :)
Where is it coming from and going to and could you make a note of the loco or DMU in the notes on the video? Thanks, Dana Mack. :)))
Hi: How is it going with the new video? Regards, Dana Mack
+Joanne Mack the rendering crashed this morning at 100%, so it’s rendering the video again. Will upload it when I get back home :D
It will be the Bergen-Line from Oslo to Aal with engine pickup in Lodalen :) hopefully, UA-cam will let this one be 2K resolution :D
It will be the EL18 loco with B7 coaches :)
Is it possible to contact you? A german train driver (me) has so many questions. 😉
Hi! I had a suggestion and that would be to put the station names on the video. Would that be too much trouble or not? Just wondering! Waiting for your next video!!!! Regards, Dana Mack
On this trip wondering what the pneumatic venting sounds are from?
patrick reilly when or where?
At time 30:00 in trip I am technically oriented (power plants) and wondered if the pneumatic sound is from brakes or an electro-pneumatic control system? Doubt it is the latter!@@RailCowGirl
@@RailCowGirl Forgot to mention I really enjoy your videos! Great job, thank you for making videos and sharing with the world.
Any luck? :)))
Hi! I asked yesterday about the new video you were having trouble with, and no reply, so I will try again! Any success in uploading that new video yet? Regards, Dana Mack :))))
Success! It's uploading as we speak. The problems I encountered was just the start of a series of problems. Solved them all, managed to render it. Now uploading 91GB :D
I see signals that show three lights, two green and a flashing green. What do the flashing lights signify?
+Ray Schmid the flashing green indicates two greens in the next main signal :) flashing green and yellow indicates reduced speed at the next main.
53:43 - finse
Hi: What happened to your new video? Did it crash again? Regards, Dana Mack

Thanks, and keep me posted. Hope it works.. Regards, Dana Mack
Could try doing it in two parts if all else fails?
What type of train - EL18 or BM73? Thanks.
+Joanne Mack EL18. The Type73 no longer service the Bergen Line. Being to light for the hazardous weather through the mountain pass.
2:02:16 Star Trek!
Are you the driver of these trains?
+Christopher Rilea yep 👍🏼
Very cool, I sure love them. I watch them to see what other countries looks like, and also it is soothing to sleep to :) you are awesome.
Hey thank you for sharing. Instant subbed to this channel. BTW, what speed is approximately at 48-50 minute ?
Highball!!
2:38:36??
What about this time stamp? :)
What's the structure to the right of the tracks? It appears to be natural material, but does not appear to be a natural formation.
+Crow T. Robot ah, it’s to prevent the snow from blowing onto and cover the tracks. Basically a wind wall. :) it reduces the amount of snow that packs the track.
Thanks. I really enjoy your videos. I follow along on Google Earth for added detail. It's fun.
Love your vids. mooo
