Thank you ❤️ So glad you liked it 😃 I must admit, it's one of the freaking best views up there during the winter. Untouched snow.. in some special lighting conditions it looks like you're on another planet. :D
Thank you!!! We are viewing this from the USA, southern Indiana. It’s cold here and we got a couple of inches of snow last night. My friends and I were having a drink and complaining about the snowy mess outside. This post gives us a whole different perspective. Thank you!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Haha! Brilliant :D I know people in Indiana :D If you want to see some really crazy conditions you should check this video out: ua-cam.com/video/MLJQKaoPHGs/v-deo.html Invite your friends over for another cold one and watch the madness :D
@@RailCowGirl Thank you, that certainly is the goal! Happened a week before Christmas, and I was resting and "riding the trains in the snow" quite a bit over the holidays! Thanks again for the channel. Take care!
Thanks for all the trips across Norway. Both my wife and I can trace half our ancestors to Norway. For me it’s my great grandparents and my wife her grandparents. I use your rail journeys while on our exercise equipment. I alternate between train rides in Norway to auto trips across the U.S. It beats watching someone on the screen telling me to pedal faster and the scenery is much nicer!
My fiance thinks I'm weird but I've been hooked on your videos. They bring such a calmness and happiness, I also love that you insert interesting information here and there. Thank you!
Thanks for the pleasure: it is so nice to watch again the familiar route even with the trip from 2019_ this time with the double replay speed - makes the journey even more impressive!
@@RailCowGirl I did and it works fine, very seldom the picture "stalls" because of the internet speed limitation, I guess. I watch it in Vienna, Austria, the provider company "A1" claims it is all glass fibre wired network.
thank you. i find these video so lethargic in a world of chaos. i did not expect this revelation about myself. thanks for content. all the best for 2021
@@RailCowGirl i have followed your channel for a few years. it randomly came up when i was searching for music live streams and i thought it seemed interesting as i love snow and have never experienced train travel during snow. i gave it a chance and actually really enjoyed watching. i usually catch you late at UK timezone night for live streams. i have a peculiar sleep pattern. however, a person out there documenting a daily aspect of their life helping the world spin is really great. without your panache to decide that maybe you should show what life is like in this area of what the world has to offer in transport, people may have never even spared a thought. thanks so much
I love your videos, so relaxing to watch and I get to see a country I will never get a chance to visit. I really like the ones with bad winter weather :)
@@martyvanduzer9263 No, I've seen foxes, birds or other small rodents in just inside after the opening, but not people or larger prey. Why would anyone walk into a tunnel? Everyone knows it is the last thing you do.
Thank you so much for the simple pleasures you brought to my mother-in-law Evelyn who was 96 ¾ years old. She passed away quietly in our home in her own bed. She lived with us these past 11 years. Evelyn was simply fascinated by what lies around the next curve. Her hearing was bad, do she just enjoyed your stunning visuals. Bless you for providing such fine entertainment to a bedridden kindly Godly woman. She would have liked to have met you. She loved people. Kitt & Cindy.
I am so sorry for your loss! But I'm glad to hear that she found joy in my videos, thank you for sharing that! I wish you all the best in these times of grief and sorrow, and may she rest in peace! ❤️
@@RailCowGirl Thank you. Evelyn is probably watching you from above. She was a Born Again Christian. You should have seen the look of wonderful amazement on her face as she watched. Anyway, keep on Driving, you are providing pleasures to people in ways you do not know.
Would like to say thank you for the ride. You have such a beautiful Country especially in the winter. Such a tranquil and peaceful feeling one can get from this ride. You RCG are lucky for this. And as always your ❄❄ and 🚄🚋 rides are very comforting to watch. And be safe and stay safe ok. From mid Georgia USA
2:12:16 1 Oct 23: Have now watched most of your cabview offerings and this is my favorite. Love the clear-sky vistas crossing the mountain pass and the sound and shadow views of your plows hitting the drifts (Ustaostevto Geilo). Looking forward to riding along on your next published adventure. Will be a pax on Train 61 (?) Oslo to Bergen September 2024. Cheers from Minnesnowta 😊
Beautiful winter day for a train ride --- or a sleigh ride, if you have only a couple of horses. Nice to see part of your fan club (23:47) cheering you on!
Unless your hit by an avalanche... that was kind of a bad day, but it was a good day anyhow. LOL. No one was hurt :) just severely delayed since we had to dig out the train. :p
@@RailCowGirl No way ! well yea if nobody was hurt then its all good ehh? Sure beats having to work in an office with people you dont really like though hahahaha. I was a class 1 HGV driver & loved the solitude of the job it gives you time to think about things.
I just found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I don't think I've put UA-cam to better use than this before, watching trains always used to be the favourite childhood activity of mine and now hopping in the cabin with you and taking in the experience is so calming, It's the best stress buster plus it also helps putting me to sleep. Won't wonder if I find you at a million subs in about a year. Great job keep it up!
I love all your videos and never tire of watching them. One little point...you give the altitude of Hallingskeid as 4642 ft when I think you meant 3642 ft.
Question: When crossing bridges there seems to be an extra set of rails inside the main rails. They begin and end at a point. Why are those there? Nice videos as always RCG!
Thank you. I never get tired of this journey. It's doesn't matter which season nor whether it's snowing or raining or the sun in shining, it's so beautiful. I do have a few questions, though: How long does a tunnel have to be before reflectors are put on the sides? Why doesn't the tunnel just before Myrdal have the reflectors? Again, thank you for these gorgeous journeys.
reflectors? If yo those are LED's :) The tunnel before Myrdal has those LEDS as well now. This video is a throwback from 2019, a video that I uploaded but never published until now... don't know why but here it is ... and you can see difference from back then and now. much has happened. One of them are of course lights in the the tunnel before Myrdal.
Are all the houses that we pass by inhabited all year round because some of them are so isolated I was thinking of a second home maybe? Having said that I love the glorious scenery and it's now a big part of my nightly viewing,
Another great video that I enjoyed thoroughly I'm just curious with all your expert editing and titling and everything else how long does it take you to do edit your video. I know sometimes I spend four to six hours on mine and they're not even close to yours.
Depending on the complexity of the video anything between 24 - 72 hours of editing. And between 9 - 13 hours of rendering time. About 45 minutes for upload and between 1 to 2 days before it reaches maximum quality on UA-cam as well.
Thank you for these great videos. I have a question. I see the trackside symbol that prompts you to blow the horn. My question is what is the reason for blowing the horn. I don’t always see a grade level crossing or anything that looks like it needs a warning. Thanks.
Beautiful. Just magnificent! The views are just Wow! But I have a question. I see that most of the overhead-wire poles are wood? Can that be safe and strong for countless years? I have never seen other then concrete or steel poles for the overhead wires in western modern countries, and I've seen countless train videos around the world. Why wood?
The wooden poles are swapped to steel now when needed. But yes, they have been truly resilient and long lasting :) Probably a combination of luck and environment. They did try steel earlier but had som problems with the galvanisation(?) of the steel. Been lots of concrete as well but concrete is not a good solution in the longterm.
Another amazing video. Thank you for letting me ride along. A couple questions. Those homes at the top of the mountain are they just summer homes as none look lived in. Also what do people do if they do live there. Just building this line is an engineering marvel. Have you ever been stranded in the winter on this line? Looks a bit scary in part as you are in the middle of nowhere. Loved the crew standing on the platform giving you a wave. Like others would love to visit one day as so beautiful and makes where I live look like a dead zone. I know you are camera shy but would love to put a face to the RailCowGirl handle as I feel I know you already as watching so many of your videos.
Those houses you see in the mountains, most of them are cabins. People use them all year, in the weekends and holidays. In smaller towns like Ustaoset and Geilo there are also permanent habitants.
23:44 - how cool is that? Hey RCG, please pin this. Do these people know you personally or was it your birthday? What happened there? Very much awesome, I say :))
Fantastic video as usual but I think your conversion factor for km to miles is the wrong way round, for example the Finse tunnel was shown as about 10 km or 16 miles long. Some of the other conversions of amsl heights and tunnels lengths showed a similar conversion error. Sorry I’m just being ‘picky’. Probably an English thing 🙄 Still love the videos .... please keep them coming.
Small mistake at 1:04:30 it says 'The Finse tunnel is 10,3km (16,48 miles) long. That is incorrect, miles are longer than kilometers so it is probably the other way around. 1 mile is about 1,6 km. :)
Fantastic cab ride! I wonder has anyone ever calulated how much of this route is tunnels or galleries - I bet it's a high percentage! Amazing how few trains you pass in the opposite direction. - are they one per hour or something at the time of year this was shot?
Thanks RailCowGirl. How do you pronounce the A with the small o over it? Question 2, I see these dwellings along the route but never anything from the chimneys that would lead me to believe they were heated and inhabited? Not necessarily smoke from organic materials. I couldn’t see windmills or solar panels to generate power for heat nor any waviness above chimney showing heat in the stacks? Question 3, those isolated dwellings out in the middle of nowhere, what do these people do for a living? We’d like to visit Norway sometime in the future if possible so your videos give us a view of the countryside. I’ll be switching to your warmer weather trips.
Å = same sound as you would say in the English word "all." The houses out in the middle in now where are mostly cabins. People use them all year, but some only in certain seasons. I believe most of them have electrical heating and a fireplace. They live in the cities or bigger towns and go to their rural/mountain cabins when they have their weekends off or for holidays.
This is how winters should be from December to February. You leave the house on Sunday morning, put on your sunglasses and walk through the winter landscape until late afternoon. Unfortunately, I experience this winter landscape far to seldom at home.
@@RailCowGirl Yes, it's the same everywhere. The weather is not stable. But unfortunately no longer cold in winter. At home, the winter weather is like November weather. Rain Rain rain.

Thanks for the pleasure: it is so nice to watch again the familiar route even with the trip from 2019_ this time with the double replay speed - makes the journey even more impressive!
Did you set it to double speed? Because I have not :D It's the different perspective of a GoPro and a cinema camera :)

Question 2, I see these dwellings along the route but never anything from the chimneys that would lead me to believe they were heated and inhabited? Not necessarily smoke from organic materials. I couldn’t see windmills or solar panels to generate power for heat nor any waviness above chimney showing heat in the stacks? Question 3, those isolated dwellings out in the middle of nowhere, what do these people do for a living? We’d like to visit Norway sometime in the future if possible so your videos give us a view of the countryside. I’ll be switching to your warmer weather trips.
Å = same sound as you would say in the English word "all."
The houses out in the middle in now where are mostly cabins. People use them all year, but some only in certain seasons. I believe most of them have electrical heating and a fireplace. They live in the cities or bigger towns and go to their rural/mountain cabins when they have their weekends off or for holidays.

Hello :D
@@RailCowGirl help my channel big thanks
Thanks for posting this RCG. This is the video I was asking about. Why are all those people doing the human wave at 23:47 outside the station?
Because I'm famous! Lol, only joking. They were very happy to see the train 😁
This is how winters should be from December to February. You leave the house on Sunday morning, put on your sunglasses and walk through the winter landscape until late afternoon. Unfortunately, I experience this winter landscape far to seldom at home.
Yeah, our winters has become shorter but more intense. Like everything is compressed... Lots of changes here over the years.
@@RailCowGirl Yes, it's the same everywhere. The weather is not stable. But unfortunately no longer cold in winter. At home, the winter weather is like November weather. Rain Rain rain.
LETS START THE RIDE YAHOOOOO 😎😎😎😎😎
Whooop whooop! Let's get this train moving!
