really understand how much skill, work, patience is important when driving a locomotive in a blizzard, precipitation, and responsibility. Moscow, metro driver, Russia. Good luck dear colleague
I highly recommend to watch the whole video as you can see the change in daylight, weather and elevation as the trip goes. But if you want to fast forward to the truly juicy stuff it starts at Mjølfjell @1:46:46 and get gradually worse as we climb to the top. It stays pretty juicy with lots of snow coming over the front until we reach Geilo Station @3:10:53. And please leave a comment below, even just an emoji will help heaps as it drives engagement! ❤❤❤❤❤ I hope you enjoy this video :)
I really, really have enjoyed watching this one. Sure, you can see the daylight getting better during the ride, but the snow.....I found it sometimes a bit scary. Seeing the photo's you took at Ustaoset, the locomotive is almost wholly covered in snow (the front, that is). This really takes a lot of concentration when riding. I have watched it till Ustaoset, but will watch the remaining of the ride tomorrow. Thank you for sharing, RCG. What a ride.
Of course I watched the whole trip...as I did many times before. I noticed that snow was already covering the ground from Bolstadoyri and not elevated after Voss. Normally you don't bring the train all the way up to Honefoss but only to Al. Why was that?
Just noticed this before going to sleep way too late. I'll definitely watch it all! (I can't wait for it, but will have to a full day as I'm busy tomorrow...) EDIT: now that I watched it: it was worth the long wait!!! From an otherworldly rainy morning through snowstorm to sparkling sunshine. I watched dozens of your videos, and have photographed up and down the line during my summer holiday, but I still can't get enough of it, it always shows a different face, and you capture it for us in exquisite detail, with extra photos. Many thanks!
@@RailCowGirl Hello again, watching this video and the sticky snow, is there an 'in-cab' indicator to tell you when to sound the horn? Obviously you can't see the trackside signs when the windscreen is totally obscured so how does that work?
@@figaro501 when she cant see out of the windscreen she must stop the train to clear it. When she cant see the horn signs then the horn will not be used as far as I know
This is far more entertaining than normal tv, makes me feel like I'm driving the train 😅so relaxing, glad you don't add anything that's distracting, I'm looking forward to driving your train again someday soon👍😊
It's a great ride... and I am praying for you to be able deliver us in December a Christmas evening ride with the lights and decorations in backyards and fresh snow covering the track and streets... A Christmas fairytale :) @@RailCowGirl
I know it's cold, wet, miserable stuff that snow but doesn't it make a scene a picture. Sitting back watching as the train was travelling along you almost feel in a trance, it is just so relaxing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful country scenery with us. It is magnificent.
After watching the entire journey, I realized how difficult your job is and how much responsibility it requires. I will follow your new videos, you are great.
As always, your Blizzard Runs never fail to be magical. I am always amazed by the amount of snow that is blowing even inside the snow sheds at Hallingskeid! Thank you RCG 💗
Greetings from England where 2cm of snow means the whole rail structure grinds to a halt. Actually, EVERYTHING grinds to a halt! One of the best things I’ve seen on this site. Slow tv at it’s best. Thank you.
Curious technical guy here. Anyone know what the steady ticking clock sound is whenever the train is in motion? I love these videos. Thank you for the peaceful entertainment you provide RCG.
Hassler speedometer delivered by hassler rail, driving train operators mad since 1887. The question has been answered in numerous comments :D But keep em coming ;)
This was my 1st time watching a video from this perspective. I had the same question (and figured someone must have asked it). Thanks for politely answering it. I'm sure it gets old answering the same questions. I'm surprised that in 136 years, someone hasn't invited and/or installed quiet digital ones! For your sake, I hope it happens soon!
you can't simply just install a new speedometer. it would require adjustments to the systems reading the axel speed as well. Hassler does have solutions for this and they did change the speedometers on the old Class 69C when they refurbished them into the Class 69C II. But it is about cost, and now days they won't change anything that is working. You know how it is when econ educated people are making the decisions for the engineers and crew based on the numbers in the budget. LOL
These videos by railcowgirl are fascinating! I can't stop watching. I haven't noticed it in this video as much as in some others, but why do you toot the horn when you pass a particular yellow sign with a black stripe? Most of the time the horn blow is in the middle of nowhere. Not at a road crossing, or anywhere else a warning would be appropriate. Thanks!
@@bobroska38 Believe me there is a crossing there. The hornsignals are used mainly for unsecured level crossings, level crossings with lights, level crossings with lights and half gates, level crossings with low visibility to approaching train. The signals are also used for halts along the line to tell people that a train is approaching, but it is only the ones that have a schedule stop there that needs to sound the horn. = General Warning = Level crossing = Halt = halt and level crossing at the same place = no need to sound horn between 10pm and 6am if in combination with the above :) Hope this answer your questions :D
Hello R.C.G., First I thank the Lord for people like you who share their experiences but don't know the actual positive effect it may have on others, you do it just out of the goodness your heart and I thank you. I have been watching your videos for years now. When I was young in the US, West Virginia I lived in a house by a creek, and across the creek was a train track that ran parallel to the creek. Each night there would be much anticipation because the train did not come by every night. When it did falling asleep would be so simple. The sound of the train going over the track and all the other sounds that came with an old coal mining train barrelling through meant for brief meditation and quick sleep. Of course, at that age, I had no idea I was meditating. In the past when watching your videos I could not hear the outside sounds. But your videos are so enjoyable I would watch them without sound and play music. Today I saw your train covered in snow and I had to take the ride. Unannounced to me, once the train started to move I could hear all of the sounds. @:14:00 mark in Bulken - Voss you had to let another train go by. Once you started I could hear every sound of you starting, the wipers, each click over the tracks, the sound of you picking up speed in the tunnel. I could tell when you exited the tunnel by sound, because for some reason I could now hear all the outside sounds and I loved it. I have not been watching as much as I did in the past because the sound always seemed to be muffled like there was a hand over the mic. I don't know how long ago the sound in your videos changed (or if I missed something in the past and it was always like this), but I would say for those who love to watch, having the sound with the ride is such an added enhancement, it is something I can't describe from a meditation standpoint accept to say WONDERFUL! The moment @2:26:15 when you come out of the tunnel, was visually stunning. I believe that moment could only be captured by someone who does what you do. Keep up the good work R.C.G. and thanks for such wonderful videos.
Wow, What a run!! It is reallya plow-run over the mountain pass. I found it a bit scary from time to time. I do admire such people like you, who are doing their job very well under extreme circumstances. The locomotive looks like, it had a role in Star Wars: very white-out. It requires a great amount of concentration to ride such a ride. Thank you for sharing this Blizzard-run.
It's amazing how quickly I went from, "There is NO way I am watching a train travel through the snow" to "Ok..this isn't bad..maybe I'll watch for a few minutes" all the way to "Hmmm I wonder how much it costs to fly to Norway?" 😃
Thats how i felt about two years ago when i watched the first vid here. Since then i dont think a day has gone by where ive not stuck the live stream in the telly. And also been wanting to take a trip to Norway, i will make it happen one day.
Bergensbanan has that effect on people. It's a really beautiful scenery and amazing how one can go from no snow to all out blizzard to no snow (even late spring and sunshine) in mere 8 hours or so. I watched the full journey back in 2010 (if i recall correctly) and it really made me want to go there. But no-one has been willing to go with me and i wanted someone i cared to share the journey with to come along. Going alone would not be fun.
1:40:00 Yes, it was great. I went to Lillehammer and a train to Bergen too. Just like being in a winter snow globe. Fantastic. I just wondered what all those people did way out there in nowhere. So very far from town and snowed inn for months. 😮
I don’t sleep well and your videos help. I love the sound of the train as I lived beside train tracks when I was little. Thank you for the wonderful videos and the beautiful views
There is nothing I love more to get focused at work than this playing. The noise, the adventure, looking up to see where we are in the journey, this is the perfect companion for WFH. Thank you!!
What an absolute treat. Even though Canada (were I am from) has had 8 out of the 10 coldest places on earth. I will never complain again. It's so very cool to see the tunnels lit all up. Reminds me of the "Mines of Moria"
This was so wonderful ❤ I've enjoyed all 5 hours of the trip! The most interesting was for me watching, how the weather changes between Begren and Finse. And then, after the blizzard, appears the Sun. I recommend watching all 5 hours!
What a wild ride through the snow. Been watching some of the other videos as well, and if I had a stressful day these videos help me relax. But what really make these videos special are all the annotations explaining historical locations, events or other interesting things along the way
Hay! You driving your train thru the beautiful snowy Norway is like a ZEN relaxing thing for me. Amazing to be able to join your little adventures. /Cheers from Sweden
@@RailCowGirl - What is the light in the sky at 2:44:46? At first I thought it was maybe the sun shining through clouds but it seemed to move and then disappear?
i think the mountains are nearly everywhere in Norway, aren't they? but this track must be one of the toughest ones...It was a pleasure to fully watch your Video! thumbs up! @@RailCowGirl
Absolutely marvelous. Your camera gives us amazing visuals! Stay safe. This week is the American holiday, Thanksgiving. You and your fabulous channel will be included in my list of things I’m thankful to have in my life. Peace and happiness to you and yours.
Oh thank you for sharing this! I enjoyed all 5 hours of this; even thought it took me a couple of days to watch the entire trip. It was so nice to bundle up and sip on a hot cocoa while going through all that snow. I will admit to being a bit nervous when the train was going through that white out. Having driven, via car, through white outs I know how hard it can be it can be; even in a train you need to see where you are going. I also enjoyed those notes that you posted, that added so much to the trip. Greetings from Colorado where the elevation, where I live, is just a bit higher than your highest point on that trip. So happy to have watched it all.
I've just watched this and booked a flight to Bergen so I can get the same train to Oslo. Thanks for recording and sharing this - I can't wait to see it all in person!
What a sensational return video. From the clockwork Sony FX3's stunning recording, having 5+ hours to watch, to having to clean off the snow because of the plow work - thank you.
Riding in the train cab during a blizzard is very exciting but also very difficult to see in front of you but it is still very beautiful and amazing to see the countryside, but you definitely did plow right on through it really well stay safe, take care and Thank You. 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
5 hours of driving and filming, great fun, as usual, beautiful views and this magical snow, sometimes together with the head, make amazing impressions. Bravo, more films like this. Greetings from Poland - no snow lately.
This was an amazing ride, but my most vivid memory was one or two years ago in December, you uploaded a trip in crisp winter wonderland with northern lights in evening time. That was quite a vibe. I pray we can hope for another Christmas gift like that. Take care :)
I'm semi-retired and now volunteering as a coach driver for OAPs in Australia. I wish I could volunteer as a train driver! Your vids are a godsend - a chicken soup for the soul! And I particularly enjoy the 'Norway In A Nutshell' runs, as I did it as my friends' 2009 wedding gift to their guests in Bergen, and again on the long way home! Kudos to RailCowGirl, you are wonderful!
I myself have come back to this video a few times, thank to RCG’s wonderful filming; I think it shows how the weather really can change during a trip across the mountains. If you people never been there, or actually been skiing part of the route Finse/Haugastøl/Ustaoset in the wintertime, this video shows us how the trip might be. Just imagine how it is when you are skiing part of the distance, and the weather changes from blue sky and sun to a white inferno, in half an hour. If you are well equipped, it is wonderful to be there!
Finally, how long have I been waiting for the next video. Awesome footage quality and spectacular landscapes. I like the calmness of train riding. I hope we don't have to wait that long again :D
You know I always told my self I could drive a train . Till I seen this driving in the snowy conditions not being able to see the rails wow no couldn't do this these guys are brave and professional and keep things moving regardless wow great job
Another magnificent video, thanks so much. I especially like the effects of the light at the start of the run up the fjord (yes the snow later is pretty fabulous, too!) but the contrasts between the lights from the houses, the gradual glimmer from the sky and the outline of the mountains and the careful way you manage brightness of the tunnel lighting for us makes for really great photography.
I loved this video! I hope we'll see more. It's about the only snow I get to see here in southern Nevada. Every time I was getting ready to ask a question, you put up a description box about what was happening. Thank you for reading my mind.
I post as aften as I can, pelase understand that my work schedule is pretty crazy. :( They are driving us hard. if it was possible to balance it more with youtube, I would.
My Tunnel ( The Finse Tunnel ) Was Totally Lit Up Loved It. The Snow Beast Was Attacking For Sure Yikes. But You Showed Him! After Ål The Ride Got Smooth Loved It.
my dog loves your videos more then any other videos anywhere (especially the snow sheds) but shes been extremely excited with this one. we both enjoyed this one very much
In these conditions its easy to understand what relief the finse tunnel is during wintertime :) i mean we know you would absolutely plowww thru the old track as well but OMG all that snow on the track unstoppable force vs hardly movable snow go Cowgirl !
You have the best videos on UA-cam. I love the background noise! I use it often for more relaxed sleeping. You are an asset to both the country and the Norwegian rail industry. I loved seeing that 'secret' cavernous turntables room near Fines. Also enjoyed learning that the ice planet Hoth scene from Star Wars ep 5 was filmed there.
OMG... It's a little after 3am here and I've just watched this entire video non stop (1 x loo break). Have to get up for work in 2hrs!? 😳😳 Love these videos, thank you for taking us all with you on your travels. It allows us to see such beautiful places, we may not ever get to see in person. 😊
When im bored at work, like right now, I watch this and it makes me travel. One day I want to write an adventure/crime novel set in a train during winter.
Oh such a superb video. I have been able to watch almost all of it in 4k. Between YT and my ISP usually half that quality is all I can see with out buffering. I just savored the whole 5 hours. You certainly can tell that you put a lot of yourself into every video. THANK YOU!!!
I do admire the work you do and i honestly dont know how you manage your you tube channel. Thank you so very much for the pleasure you give us. Be safe.
Please Take Note British Rail How Nice this Tunnel is .Fair play to the electricians whom wire in that Illuminated Handrail on the left. You have a cool job Cow Girl. xXx
So grateful for your taking the time to give us this long-awaited new vid. A great tonic for the soul in addition to the spectacular views, you are an international treasure.
😮😊No snow yet here in Indiana, USA, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it. But it sure is cozy to watch this on my little phone screen, while I'm bundled up against the coldin the house!😄 Tack så mycket, RCG!
Also, here in Indiana. Temps are starting to fall and we’ll have snow flurries on Sunday but I don’t think we’ll ever see snow quite like that but it sure is beautiful to see here on the video.

I highly recommend to watch the whole video as you can see the change in daylight, weather and elevation as the trip goes.
But if you want to fast forward to the truly juicy stuff it starts at Mjølfjell @1:46:46 and get gradually worse as we climb to the top. It stays pretty juicy with lots of snow coming over the front until we reach Geilo Station @3:10:53.

I suffer from chronic illness and have used ur videos to relax for years now. This is my favourite one yet. Thank you :)
I'm so glad I' able to help you relax ❤ Thank you for watching :D

As others have echoed great run and you’ve been missed. 💯♠️
@@RailCowGirl - I was looking for something like this after watching that movie The Polar Express. This delivered exactly what I was searching for.

I wanted to say thank you for not editing the video into a shorter one, but leave it raw, as the conductor really experienced it
Yep, that is the whole point of my videos. Taking you along for on my trips at work.
Damn it, Norway. Why do you have to be so beautiful? The views once the blizzard part is over are absolutely perfect.
Oooh - I love the snowy runs! Thank you for sharing this with all of us around the world.
You are so welcome!

Realize that this is a serious trip but what a wonderful view of Norway. I am a Snow fan so seeing these views is incredible. Keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible journey !!! What is very good is that there is no narration and no background music - just the journey itself.😊
Want it to be as authentic as possible :D
The cabin clicking and the windshield wipers are my favorite part of this. Feels very immersive. Thanks for letting us ride w/ u!

Hello R.C.G., First I thank the Lord for people like you who share their experiences but don't know the actual positive effect it may have on others, you do it just out of the goodness your heart and I thank you. I have been watching your videos for years now.
When I was young in the US, West Virginia I lived in a house by a creek, and across the creek was a train track that ran parallel to the creek. Each night there would be much anticipation because the train did not come by every night. When it did falling asleep would be so simple. The sound of the train going over the track and all the other sounds that came with an old coal mining train barrelling through meant for brief meditation and quick sleep.

I don't know how long ago the sound in your videos changed (or if I missed something in the past and it was always like this), but I would say for those who love to watch, having the sound with the ride is such an added enhancement, it is something I can't describe from a meditation standpoint accept to say WONDERFUL!
The moment @2:26:15 when you come out of the tunnel, was visually stunning. I believe that moment could only be captured by someone who does what you do.
Keep up the good work R.C.G. and thanks for such wonderful videos.
Wow, What a run!! It is reallya plow-run over the mountain pass. I found it a bit scary from time to time. I do admire such people like you, who are doing their job very well under extreme circumstances. The locomotive looks like, it had a role in Star Wars: very white-out. It requires a great amount of concentration to ride such a ride. Thank you for sharing this Blizzard-run.

Yes, he is :D Hehehe I freaking love Dr. Sheldon Cooper
This was so wonderful ❤ I've enjoyed all 5 hours of the trip! The most interesting was for me watching, how the weather changes between Begren and Finse. And then, after the blizzard, appears the Sun. I recommend watching all 5 hours!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Great video, thank you. It was fun watching the change from rain to snow to blizzard and back to snow in the sunlight. Truly enjoyable!!!
I am so glad you are posting again and it's a blizzard video! Happy day!
I'm posting as often as I can considering my crazy schedule. They are driving us hard.
It was a long time since last video and I am very happy to see a new video from Railcowgirl.

Absolutely marvelous. Your camera gives us amazing visuals! Stay safe. This week is the American holiday, Thanksgiving. You and your fabulous channel will be included in my list of things I’m thankful to have in my life. Peace and happiness to you and yours.
Awe, thank you so much!! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
Great work on this one. Really liked the part where the train plowed through the blizzard like a boss.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful to see you post again RCG. Your video journeys are the best.
Thank you :D I try to post as often as I can considering my crazy work schedule.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks :D
Oh thank you for sharing this! I enjoyed all 5 hours of this; even thought it took me a couple of days to watch the entire trip. It was so nice to bundle up and sip on a hot cocoa while going through all that snow. I will admit to being a bit nervous when the train was going through that white out. Having driven, via car, through white outs I know how hard it can be it can be; even in a train you need to see where you are going. I also enjoyed those notes that you posted, that added so much to the trip. Greetings from Colorado where the elevation, where I live, is just a bit higher than your highest point on that trip. So happy to have watched it all.
Wow! Nice going! So glad you enjoyed the whole video :D
I've just watched this and booked a flight to Bergen so I can get the same train to Oslo. Thanks for recording and sharing this - I can't wait to see it all in person!
You for sure plowed snow. Wipers had hard time cleaning it off windshield. Stay safe and thanks for posting this. Chuck. Waco, Texas U.S.A.
Thanks, you too!
Waco, TX...l Oooh isn't that where the incident in the 90's happened?
What a sensational return video. From the clockwork Sony FX3's stunning recording, having 5+ hours to watch, to having to clean off the snow because of the plow work - thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tack! Fatastiskt fin åktur!
Rain, Snow, Sunshine, Superb Scenery - and one intrepid Train Driver. Fab !
Many thanks!
Riding in the train cab during a blizzard is very exciting but also
very difficult to see in front of you but it is still very beautiful and
amazing to see the countryside, but you definitely did plow right
on through it really well stay safe, take care and Thank You.

CHOO CHOO!
Excellent viewing at 40C, or any time. Thank you for sharing these. I hope you are doing well and staying sane. Best wishes from North Carolina, US.
You are back !!!! nice !
This is legendary. Love the ability of the train to just keep going, expertly driven of course!
5 hours of driving and filming, great fun, as usual, beautiful views and this magical snow, sometimes together with the head, make amazing impressions. Bravo, more films like this. Greetings from Poland - no snow lately.
Thank you :D Yep, 5 hours continuously. The technology of today is pretty impressive :D
These are the ultimate adventure movies! Thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
This was an amazing ride, but my most vivid memory was one or two years ago in December, you uploaded a trip in crisp winter wonderland with northern lights in evening time. That was quite a vibe. I pray we can hope for another Christmas gift like that. Take care :)
I hope the timing will be right to catch something like that again :)
@@RailCowGirl if not really unlucky i think you should be able to film that (det är mycket norrsken just nu.)
Thank you beyond for this year 2023, of sharing ur world that has given me quite a bit of peaceful times. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year ✌🙏💚
Same to you!
Wow! @2:49:00 "I was driving along when all of a sudden... HOLY $hitballs!!!" This was an impressive run. I'll watch this one again... in the SUMMER.
So glad you liked it :D Yep, it was pretty insane :D
I'm semi-retired and now volunteering as a coach driver for OAPs in Australia. I wish I could volunteer as a train driver! Your vids are a godsend - a chicken soup for the soul! And I particularly enjoy the 'Norway In A Nutshell' runs, as I did it as my friends' 2009 wedding gift to their guests in Bergen, and again on the long way home! Kudos to RailCowGirl, you are wonderful!
What beautiful scenery. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching!
You are amazing. This video is amazing. I'm so grateful UA-cam put you in my suggestions! This might be the thing I fall asleep to now.
Thank you :D
*Thank You RCG* 😊❤😊❤😊
I keep your videos running on an extra monitor as I am working - they are so relaxing and help me focus. 😊❤
Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad my videos helps you in that way :D
I myself have come back to this video a few times, thank to RCG’s wonderful filming; I think it shows how the weather really can change during a trip across the mountains. If you people never been there, or actually been skiing part of the route Finse/Haugastøl/Ustaoset in the wintertime, this video shows us how the trip might be. Just imagine how it is when you are skiing part of the distance, and the weather changes from blue sky and sun to a white inferno, in half an hour. If you are well equipped, it is wonderful to be there!
Finally, how long have I been waiting for the next video. Awesome footage quality and spectacular landscapes. I like the calmness of train riding. I hope we don't have to wait that long again :D
I hope you don't have to, but that is completely up to my employer... my schedule has not been very spare time friendly...
I understand, I can sympathize with that. Wish you a more spare time friendly schedule and also awesome rides in the cab @@RailCowGirl
You know I always told my self I could drive a train . Till I seen this driving in the snowy conditions not being able to see the rails wow no couldn't do this these guys are brave and professional and keep things moving regardless wow great job
Thank you :D Yep, the winter on the mountain pass at certain days can be pretty challenging.
Another magnificent video, thanks so much. I especially like the effects of the light at the start of the run up the fjord (yes the snow later is pretty fabulous, too!) but the contrasts between the lights from the houses, the gradual glimmer from the sky and the outline of the mountains and the careful way you manage brightness of the tunnel lighting for us makes for really great photography.
Thank you :) so glad you liked it :)
I know you see this everyday but it’s truly a beautiful place.
I loved this video! I hope we'll see more. It's about the only snow I get to see here in southern Nevada. Every time I was getting ready to ask a question, you put up a description box about what was happening. Thank you for reading my mind.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best video ever . for nothing you get a 5 hour amazing journey through stunning Norway sit back enjoy
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks a lot!
New Hampshire, USA checking in. We have the snow, we have the mountains, but nothing like this. Thank you for posting these videos.
Thank you so much for watching :D
Thanks, RailCowGirl.....lovely to see that you're still recording and posting to YT.
I post as aften as I can, pelase understand that my work schedule is pretty crazy. :( They are driving us hard. if it was possible to balance it more with youtube, I would.
Incredible footage! These kinds of trips really get the adrenaline pumping! Love watching your stuff.
Thanks a ton!
Excellent thank you! Watched it all and loved it. I'm going to watch the entire video again. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
RailCowGirl this rocks! I love this time of year especially on these snowy runs with you! ❄ ⛄
Thank you so much :D
Thank you for these wonderful videos with all of the beautiful scenery.
My Tunnel ( The Finse Tunnel ) Was Totally Lit Up Loved It.
The Snow Beast Was Attacking For Sure Yikes. But You Showed Him!
After Ål The Ride Got Smooth Loved It.
my dog loves your videos more then any other videos anywhere (especially the snow sheds) but shes been extremely excited with this one. we both enjoyed this one very much
That's so awesome! :D
never seen anything like this before -- amazing! Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I played this video recently. Wonderful scenery & very relaxing to have on in the background while cleaning. Thank you!
In these conditions its easy to understand what relief the finse tunnel is during wintertime :)
i mean we know you would absolutely plowww thru the old track as well but OMG all that snow on the track
unstoppable force vs hardly movable snow
go Cowgirl !
Indeed it is :D
Thank you so much. It was like a Sunday drive in the country…. So relaxing and interesting to see the countryside.
Glad you enjoyed it
I sincerely admire you! Of course, the weather is very beautiful, but it is incredibly difficult to see a path that is not visible. It's fantastic!😃😃
The tracks are there ;) lol all the time :p
You have the best videos on UA-cam. I love the background noise! I use it often for more relaxed sleeping. You are an asset to both the country and the Norwegian rail industry. I loved seeing that 'secret' cavernous turntables room near Fines. Also enjoyed learning that the ice planet Hoth scene from Star Wars ep 5 was filmed there.
Glad you like them! :D
OMG... It's a little after 3am here and I've just watched this entire video non stop (1 x loo break).
Have to get up for work in 2hrs!? 😳😳
Love these videos, thank you for taking us all with you on your travels. It allows us to see such beautiful places, we may not ever get to see in person. 😊
Thank YOU for watching :D This wouldn't be possible without you :D
When im bored at work, like right now, I watch this and it makes me travel. One day I want to write an adventure/crime novel set in a train during winter.
Nice views 😊 It's always a pleasure to watch your videos 😄
Glad you like them!
A pleasure to watch, as always. Thank you!
Sooooo glad you’re back. Been missing your wonderful videos. Thank you !! 😎😂🤩👍🏻🚞
Thank you kindly!
Best video. All the things you wanted to do in snow but were unable. WOW. Thanks for posting this. 👍👍👍. 11-10-2023
Thank you too :D
Oh such a superb video. I have been able to watch almost all of it in 4k. Between YT and my ISP usually half that quality is all I can see with out buffering. I just savored the whole 5 hours. You certainly can tell that you put a lot of yourself into every video. THANK YOU!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this my Friend used to live in Noway . God Bless him but he said it wat beautiful and it really is.
Thank you :)
When the windscreen is caked, can occasionally see your profile/shadow over to the left . Good job!
Hehe, yep, it is because of the way the front is formed on the loco
YEA!! RailCowGirl is back.
Frim the very deep south, Slidell, LA. So good to have you with us again. 😊
I post videos as often as I can. My schedule does not leave much for what is called life outside work.
I do admire the work you do and i honestly dont know how you manage your you tube channel. Thank you so very much for the pleasure you give us. Be safe.
Nice, really like watching your vids, very peaceful. Such a clean and beautiful place, your lucky to live there RCG!
Thank you :D I do feel lucky :D
Beautiful video. Thanks for taking us along.
Please Take Note British Rail How Nice this Tunnel is .Fair play to the electricians whom wire in that Illuminated Handrail on the left. You have a cool job Cow Girl. xXx
Love my job :D
So grateful for your taking the time to give us this long-awaited new vid. A great tonic for the soul in addition to the spectacular views, you are an international treasure.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😮😊No snow yet here in Indiana, USA, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it. But it sure is cozy to watch this on my little phone screen, while I'm bundled up against the coldin the house!😄 Tack så mycket, RCG!
Glad you liked it :D Tack tack :D
Also, here in Indiana. Temps are starting to fall and we’ll have snow flurries on Sunday but I don’t think we’ll ever see snow quite like that but it sure is beautiful to see here on the video.
Thankyou for taking me on that incredible although very scary journey, your country is stunning, many thanks, stay safe xx
Epic , thanks RCG for your work and share it ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
