There is a two seagulls one train slap in this video :D remember to comment with a Seagull Emoji when you find it. Hehehehe. Going through the old tunnel again after being closed for such a long time was weird. The difference between them is pretty insane.
Does this mean that there were two seagulls killed by a train in this video? Or have I misunderstood? I really look forward to your videos, saw you once on a documentary too, but if I did understand properly than I wouldn't think a :D is appropriate, especially for the seagulls. I won't watch or like in case this is the case.
Rail cowgirl, thank you for the video. My name is William and I'm in the USA. I been fighting cancer for 10 years and watching your videos helps me to relax and fall asleep. You be safe on the rails. Norway is a beautiful country. ❤
That's beautiful to hear that Rail Cowgirl's videos help you relax given the circumstances. Yes, they are so relaxing! And as you say beautiful countryside!
Thanks for the super trip!!! I am always just in awe at the incredibly fine quality of the video. Special thanks for the view of the improvements in the Bergen terminal. I watched at quarter speed just to make sure I caught the changes as much as I could. Thank you so very much.
Dear Lady of the Railway, thank you for your thoughtful and wonderful video. The content, as always, transports me to the beautiful land of Norway. I remember with sincere and deep nostalgia the brief and fleeting passage through those lands full of history. See you soon.
Thank you so much for the video. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was especially interesting to see the dawn of a new day arriving so early from someone who lives in Australia's east coast.
Just finished watching. This one is going on my RailCowGirl night video playlist. Nice to see the Bergenline again. Myrdal, the lights of Voss, the rebels were alerted to your presence at Finse/Hoth. The old Ulriken tunnel and refurbished Arna looks nice too. The freightyard in Bergen is really cool now. I didn't catch the seagulls. I was too caught up in nostalgia and anticipation.
Thank you RailCowGirl, it's been awhile since I have been able to watch one of your videos. And am so glad that I took the time to do so. A very relaxing time. Was impressed to. ❤🐈🐈

Greetings once again from Down Under 🇦🇺 Another stunning journey on the Bergen line. I absolutely love watching these videos. The scenery is magnificent without snow, but the snow and harsh cold are equally beautiful. Huge thank you once again for taking us along on your journey and allowing us to see places we would most likely never have the privilege of seeing in person. Thank you From Perth, Western Australia.
It is so fun seeing the old tunnel again. I love all of the changes through the years. It's especially fun to see if I can locate abandoned track corridors. Having a summertime video helps with spotting ❤
Hiya, welcome back, and thank you so much for an amazing journey. I have watched this episode in 3 sections and you have put a big smile on my face and in my heart. Bless you for that. Oh my there has been so much work going on at Finse and also Bergan. what a difference and all for the better operation of the railway. God bless you and I hope life is being good for you. Take care, Geoffers.
Thanks for another great trip! Finally was able to sit down and watch it and was delighted to see the added treat of those high-altitude Noctilucent clouds!
@@RailCowGirl You're welcome, i really enjoy the night train, there is just something about the shadows, i'm sure its not like that when you are behind the controls but yea thanks again for the amazing content.
I love your night videos! ❤😎exceptional quality from the FX3. also thanks for the look into the refubished old ulriken tunnel! … and let's light two candles for the seagulls.🕯🕯
Great to see the old stompin' grounds and upgrades from Arna to Bergen! That Sony camera is delivering some great quality video, especially the night stuff. Thanks for your continued content, helps greatly with trying to stay sane in this crazy world we live in, especially over hear on this side of the pond. There is finally hope though, lets hope people make the right decision this November for the sake of my country and the world also. You Rock!
Yeah, if they still vote for the guy after the debate, I mean.. then there is truly no hope at all.... Watched the 9/11 documentary yesterday about inner workings in the Bush administration when it all went down... and comparing that to the GOP's nominee this time around... I'm just... how the heck did we get here...
American here. I can confirm every word you said. The GOP here are just...evil nowadays. Pure evil in every sense of the word. It's really that simple. Enjoyed the video, I didn't know Norway had a rail network like this.
@@RailCowGirl Believe me, they do. The humming of the locomotive, the beeps and boops, the "tac-tac" of the rails, the sensation of travelling without problems and just enjoying the views relaxes me a lot. Thanks again, really.
Hehehe. true. there isn't any pressure equalisation systems on these old PoS' so your ears does pop between tunnels. If you're having sinus issues, this trip is a painful nightmare.
This is another enjoyable cabview ride across some of Norway seeing it all from the cab of an awesome train seeing the beautiful Norwegian countryside have a great weekend and thank you. 🚂🚃🚃🇧🇻
THANK GOODNESS I was having withdraws and my dear wife was about to start taking panic meds.... well almost anyway! We look forward to your videos because it gives us another look at our new upcoming country and home. We cant wait for all the paperwork to go through so we can settle in. So, until then, we wait and look for your videos! Now, I am going to relax and watch this featured film!
@@RailCowGirlI was thinking since you are not home much, have you thought about doing van life? Building out a van and live in that. Would save on $$ and it's mobile 😊😊
RCG: You must have released this latest cab view while I was a pax on the Bergensbanen Oslo to Bergen (bucket list checkbox 😉). All these years of riding along with you, I never realized there was an airport in the valley on the Oslo side of your fair city. Was RailSkyGirl hanging under one of the two chutes floating gently down to a LZ at that aerodrome at noon on 14 Sep 24 as we passed? PS: captured a good picture of the infamous RCG-memorial mound of gravel at the Bergen end of the Voss platform 🙂. Cheers!
Very nice!! Loved the whole ride. Especially the shunting part in Bergen is very nice. You can see all freight cars moving into the (un)loading track. The terminal now looks very clean. Thank you for sharing this ride, RCG!!
Finished the video and really enjoyed all of it. I like these night time runs because it gives a totally different perspective on the route. Look forward to your next drive that we accompany you on.
Once again an all-round successful video. I particularly like the fact that it was made around the same time as I was in Norway. (I visited Norway between May 6th and May 16th, which also corresponded to the reopening of the new 'old' Ulrikentunnel). Unfortunately, I was not able to meet you, as I was traveling the same route, but in the opposite direction and at a different time of day. But good things come to those who wait. Maybe.
Another wonderful journey you have shared with us. Thanks so much! Fisherman of coastal Maine (USA) refer to Seagulls as "flying garbage cans", given their propensity for eating absolutely anything...🙂
It is interesting to see the unending maintenance and improvements on the Bergen Line through the years in your videos. Besides the track work past Haugastøl, I also noticed what appeared to be foundations for new catenary poles between Ustaoset and Haugastøl.
@@RailCowGirl I've always been interested in electricity, so my attention tends to wander to the catenary. :) Near as I can tell, there are seven styles of catenary poles on the Norway rail system (wood, concrete, three types of lattice, Gardermoen Line, and now I-beam). In the tunnels, I see three different styles of support fixtures, then on the Oslo end of the line, there are the solid bus-bar catenaries in the tunnel there.
It's so beautiful in Norway. I especially love the winters. I am from Canada and of course I like the winters here as well it's just a beautiful time of the year😊😊
Kathunk-kathunk and well, what can you do? Poor seagulls 😀. Also, it was a rabbit running along somewhere in the beginning if I'm not mistaken. Great video and splendid views that never seases to amaze.
hallo , after a long time I found the new video and it is wonderful, ist realy relaxing to visit ist as all the other videos you showed us, I wisch you always green ligths on your journey thru that amazing norwegin country, greetings from the baltic coast of germany sends you Wolfgang
I didn’t go to Bergen yet, but we did the Oslo to Melhus (Trøndelag) route several times in the last few months and it’s beautiful there. The local nature is amazing. We got the first snow yesterday. RCG was the final encouragement we needed to go see Norway :)
Thank you RCG for solving a mystery. I was watching the live feed from Finse station one day last winter, and in the midst of the throng of skiers on the platform waiting for the train I saw Darth Vader and a bunch of his stormtroopers wandering around. I had no idea why they should be there. The pieces have now all fallen into place.
Greetings from France! Thank you for sharing. Travelling with you, at night, is very pleasant (for us). The night brings its share of mysteries, shadows and colors that the day crushes. In fact, they are not the same colors, the same feelings and the same experiences... Looking forward to traveling with you, one night next, in late fall or winter with the snow. Thank you again and the best for you and for your beautiful country. J-J.
Always keep in mind, that your productions are not movies from the point of view of a train driver, but movies from your own point of view. Therefore trust that you will continue to offer your new points of view, of the fascinating Norwegian nature, no matter by boat or kayak through the fjords, maybe by car or bike on the most suggestive roads, or even on foot or bicycle along the best hikes in the region. I hope you have very good luck with everything.
I really respect you driving fully awake this late during the night. I remember, when I had to get up at 5 in the morning during my apprenticeship every work day. In the long run it really ruined my mental health. I'm doing much better now though, but it took almost 10 years for me to get stable again. Much love from myself 🥰🤟
What a pleasure to find the Bergen Line and it’s novelties! Too bad the night is coming so quickly but it’s on l’y postponed untel next summer we all hope so. Congratulations on the result of the vidéo and thank you for accompanying you through it in the mountains.
Hello friends! I love traveling 😃 Since we don't have a train of this quality, I'll do it with you! Everything is perfect in your country! Thanks for the video! Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Bravo for the "rear" view as you back the train into the freight terminal. Would love to see that view for an entire trip to watch how the entire train moves.
Glad to see your back! Looking forward to seeing more trips across Norway. Question; have you ever considered besides shooting the rails ahead but to also to shoot out the side as your travelling forward? I often catch myself glancing to the edge of my iPad screen to see scenery on the sides as your train travels over bridges through valleys along rivers with waterfalls. It maybe too much trouble editing what to choose, split screens, etc. Thanks for all the trips you’ve taken me on from a few thousand miles away.
Thank you. I have several videos where I've included the side view. Most of the sidewindows are tinted on newer engines and therefore it will be kind of hard to film out of them. It also takes more time to set up multiple cameras, and I can not delay the train for setting them up. I have done several videos with side views, and here is one of them ua-cam.com/video/VZykPdXuUcA/v-deo.html I have also done this on several of my videos from the Flåm Railway :)
Мне просто нравится смотреть местность. Норвегия красивая страна. Есть огромное желание проехать на поезде по Норвегии по настоящему, а не перед экраном. Но возможности не имею. Поэтому наслаждаюсь как могу, перед экраном. Спасибо Вам за отличную работу.
Hi RCG. Absolutely love your videos. Your videos are not just scenic and relaxing but educational. Much better than others. 'Norway ... Therapy for the Soul.' Planning a trip back to Norway from Canada. Was there in 1986 for 5 weeks but only in the north. Left my heart there. Most beautiful land on earth. And the people even better. This time I want to visit the south. Were the Seagulls carrying their weapons when they attacked the train?? Did they get to go to Valhalla? 😁
I'm SO EXCITED at this upload!!!! I know what I'll be watching tonight (and even more excited that hopefully in just over a year I will be travelling on this line myself!!!😂❤)
@@RailCowGirl I'm already beyond excited🤣 And really the credit for wanting to do this journey is yours, your wonderful videos showed me how beautiful the line is so it made it to my wishlist. Thank you so much❤️😍
@@heatherydew3361 I just returned from Norway on a trip on the the Bergensbaner Oslo to Bergen. Highly recommend spending a few extra kroners for the upgraded seats in coach #1 (right behind the loco). Legroom, the small table and large widows will make your journey very memorable. Be sure to get your seats facing forward (direction train is moving). Take care, Cliff in Minnesota
Always love to watch train vids especially yours. Out of all the train pov "Vlogs" yours is the only ones ill consitently watch multiple times. Especially if im having trouble sleeping. I also now have a bird that thankfully was asleep in this video not sure shell handle seeing 2 of her kin being railkill. Anyways keep safe have fun and heres waiting for the next vid!. From typhoon on a farm near kipp railyard Alberta 🇨🇦
Thank you so much :D I love birds, and it is sad that some are getting hit. What kind of bird do you have? Budgee? I used to have two english Budgees. They are so fun being around :D
Honestly no clue she used to he my brothers. But what was supposed to be watching over her for a couple of months while he finds a new place turned into a more permanent thing.
Because of your videos i am planning to come over from Australia to Norway during the winter to do the RailCowGirl Bergen tour. I need to see this for myself. What places along the line in your opinion are the ultimate must stops. Places where i can spend a while on the train then get off spend a day or so exploring the area then get back on and continue along. I was going to fly into Oslo spend some time there and then jump on the train and leave Norway from Bergen.
I would highly suggest you looking into "Norway in a nutshell", where you take the train from Oslo To Bergen. Bergen to Myrdal, Flåm Railway From Myrdal to Flåm and then the boat to Gudvangen to experience the viking settlement before heading back to Voss with Buss and back to Bergen. :)
I'm not a fan of night rides as you can't see much. But the quality of your camera and quality of photography shows quite a lot. Still impressed how much light there's in Norwegian sky between midnight and 2 AM. Was this filmed in August? 🐦Couldn't find seagull emoji - this is the nearest. Thanks for the video.
I couldn't find a Sea Gull emoji but the bird strike was at 3:16:13. It's cool to see you on this part of the Bergen line again! They have really made some changes at the Bergen freight terminal. As always, thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to post another wonderful video. Take care and thanks again. Dave in NorCal
😃Yess! A new brilliant video. Great stuff, thanks alot.👍 Btw, the Rc3 locos were made for fast passenger services (->160kmh). Has a transmission gear conversion been done to this unit to make it more suitable for freight services? Just curious.
@@49a463 yes, a transmission conversion has been made on some, one is even weighted down. But, you can really feel it on the rest of the fleet that they’re not really made to haul freight
🐦🐦 3:16:10 What I am amazed with is no chatting on the radio at all. Even during day shifts. Is it GSM that provides direct contact with given train? Or do you cut them for the video like during shunting in Bergen? Because still on our state railways we use regular VHF radio, so you have to focus to catch your train number in that constant yapping. Especially on large stations, where many trains depart. Yet here - total silence and calmness. With these silent locomotives I believe you can be way less tired after 3,5h drive and get ready for another.
This weekend is fun when it comes to trains... * Setesdalsbanen released a video of the 130 year old number 2 running again. * That 130 year old locomotive is the only one available for hauling trains east of Kristiansand and west of Nordagutu * RailCowGirl release another long driver's eye view of The Bergen Line * And in Germany the European Tram Driver's Championship is held
There is a two seagulls one train slap in this video :D remember to comment with a Seagull Emoji when you find it. Hehehehe.

Takk for turen, det blei jo en flott fredagskveld 🌌😘

Thank you :D Double slapped them :p
Always keep in mind, that your productions are not movies from the point of view of a train driver, but movies from your own point of view. Therefore trust that you will continue to offer your new points of view, of the fascinating Norwegian nature, no matter by boat or kayak through the fjords, maybe by car or bike on the most suggestive roads, or even on foot or bicycle along the best hikes in the region. I hope you have very good luck with everything.
That is so true. I'm showing you how I experience it :D it is truly MY view :D
Magnifico viaggio ❤❤
I really respect you driving fully awake this late during the night. I remember, when I had to get up at 5 in the morning during my apprenticeship every work day. In the long run it really ruined my mental health. I'm doing much better now though, but it took almost 10 years for me to get stable again. Much love from myself 🥰🤟
I can assure you that working these shifts really affects me. You become weird after nightshifts.
Another great video. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So your back, Nice!
What a pleasure to find the Bergen Line and it’s novelties! Too bad the night is coming so quickly but it’s on l’y postponed untel next summer we all hope so. Congratulations on the result of the vidéo and thank you for accompanying you through it in the mountains.
But, if you check out my channel, you'll find countless videos from the Bergen Line in all sorts of daylight, evenings, fall, spring and winter :D
Hello friends! I love traveling 😃 Since we don't have a train of this quality, I'll do it with you! Everything is perfect in your country! Thanks for the video! Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Back on the Bergen line makes me so happy to see that. Thank you for the ride along. Silly seagulls 🐔
Glad you enjoyed it! Bet the seagulls did not.lol
@@RailCowGirl LOL You are so right they probably didn't enjoy it unless they were suicidal.
Bravo for the "rear" view as you back the train into the freight terminal. Would love to see that view for an entire trip to watch how the entire train moves.
sometimes you get "lucky" and there isn't much freight. would be better with a completely full train.
@@RailCowGirl Even still, you would want a nice clear view from the window
Glad to see your back! Looking forward to seeing more trips across Norway. Question; have you ever considered besides shooting the rails ahead but to also to shoot out the side as your travelling forward? I often catch myself glancing to the edge of my iPad screen to see scenery on the sides as your train travels over bridges through valleys along rivers with waterfalls. It maybe too much trouble editing what to choose, split screens, etc. Thanks for all the trips you’ve taken me on from a few thousand miles away.
Thank you. I have several videos where I've included the side view. Most of the sidewindows are tinted on newer engines and therefore it will be kind of hard to film out of them. It also takes more time to set up multiple cameras, and I can not delay the train for setting them up.
I have done several videos with side views, and here is one of them ua-cam.com/video/VZykPdXuUcA/v-deo.html
I have also done this on several of my videos from the Flåm Railway :)
Well that's one way to clear a platform of seagulls nice video awesome with the interchanges in the tunnel
Yep, heavy equipment for crazy birds :p
@@RailCowGirl Natural selection LOL hope you have a great day!
Crystal clear video
Thank you :D
What a great clip!!! I absolutely love the Bergen line! And I love the summer time clips too! The seagull's should have gone to bed! :) :)
The forever nap for the guls.
As always thank you!
Thank YOU :D
Мне просто нравится смотреть местность. Норвегия красивая страна. Есть огромное желание проехать на поезде по Норвегии по настоящему, а не перед экраном. Но возможности не имею. Поэтому наслаждаюсь как могу, перед экраном. Спасибо Вам за отличную работу.
Спасибо, я искренне надеюсь, что наступит время, когда вы сможете приехать сюда и путешествовать по стране на поезде.
@@RailCowGirl Спасибо! Дякую!
Hi. I love your videos. Are you going to upload any new snow filled train journeys before Christmas.
Thank you so much!
Hi RCG. Absolutely love your videos. Your videos are not just scenic and relaxing but educational. Much better than others. 'Norway ... Therapy for the Soul.' Planning a trip back to Norway from Canada. Was there in 1986 for 5 weeks but only in the north. Left my heart there. Most beautiful land on earth. And the people even better. This time I want to visit the south. Were the Seagulls carrying their weapons when they attacked the train?? Did they get to go to Valhalla? 😁
They went to Valhalla and are now celebrating with mead. hehehehe They are now flying over the eternal shores of abundance of fish.
Wieder ein tolles Video, Danke!
Thank you!
So glad you're back!
Thanks!
I'm SO EXCITED at this upload!!!! I know what I'll be watching tonight (and even more excited that hopefully in just over a year I will be travelling on this line myself!!!😂❤)
Yaaaay! :D
@@RailCowGirl I'm already beyond excited🤣 And really the credit for wanting to do this journey is yours, your wonderful videos showed me how beautiful the line is so it made it to my wishlist. Thank you so much❤️😍
@@heatherydew3361 I just returned from Norway on a trip on the the Bergensbaner Oslo to Bergen. Highly recommend spending a few extra kroners for the upgraded seats in coach #1 (right behind the loco). Legroom, the small table and large widows will make your journey very memorable. Be sure to get your seats facing forward (direction train is moving). Take care, Cliff in Minnesota
@@cliffsjolundjr5918 yes I had a look and was thinking the upgrade would be worth the money, so good to know it is!! Thanks👍
Always love to watch train vids especially yours. Out of all the train pov "Vlogs" yours is the only ones ill consitently watch multiple times. Especially if im having trouble sleeping. I also now have a bird that thankfully was asleep in this video not sure shell handle seeing 2 of her kin being railkill. Anyways keep safe have fun and heres waiting for the next vid!. From typhoon on a farm near kipp railyard Alberta 🇨🇦
Thank you so much :D I love birds, and it is sad that some are getting hit. What kind of bird do you have? Budgee? I used to have two english Budgees. They are so fun being around :D
Honestly no clue she used to he my brothers. But what was supposed to be watching over her for a couple of months while he finds a new place turned into a more permanent thing.
Turning on your interiorlights to say hello to oncoming colleges.... So sweet 😊
always :D
Très belle video as usuel Thanks you
Thanks a lot!
Hey, new material! Let me just grab some food and TGIF! 🙂
Wieder SUPER! Danke.
Danke :D
She's back the train master😯
New "station" at Tunestveit siding as well😊 Well, when ETCS is up and running at least 😅
A lot of new "stations" will be popping up as all spurs needs to be accounted for into the system :D
Thank you!😊
Nice view 🙂
🤗🙏🌹🏆
Thank you for sharing this
Thank YOU for watching the video :D
Nice to see you again!!!!!
Thanks! You too!
Because of your videos i am planning to come over from Australia to Norway during the winter to do the RailCowGirl Bergen tour. I need to see this for myself. What places along the line in your opinion are the ultimate must stops. Places where i can spend a while on the train then get off spend a day or so exploring the area then get back on and continue along. I was going to fly into Oslo spend some time there and then jump on the train and leave Norway from Bergen.
I would highly suggest you looking into "Norway in a nutshell", where you take the train from Oslo To Bergen. Bergen to Myrdal, Flåm Railway From Myrdal to Flåm and then the boat to Gudvangen to experience the viking settlement before heading back to Voss with Buss and back to Bergen. :)
Yippee Ca Ya back in the saddle again.
Красота. Это у вас там и северное сияние бывает?
Thanks. Yes, we do. Recently we've had some really nice ones this far south!
Dziękujemy.
Th lank you so much for the support :) ❤️
I'm not a fan of night rides as you can't see much. But the quality of your camera and quality of photography shows quite a lot. Still impressed how much light there's in Norwegian sky between midnight and 2 AM. Was this filmed in August? 🐦Couldn't find seagull emoji - this is the nearest. Thanks for the video.
I couldn't find a Sea Gull emoji but the bird strike was at 3:16:13. It's cool to see you on this part of the Bergen line again! They have really made some changes at the Bergen freight terminal. As always, thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to post another wonderful video. Take care and thanks again. Dave in NorCal
@@swarfrat311 slap slap 😂🦤🦤 dodo should suffice as it is very dodo-ish to sit on the track :p
Cool and awesome video. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
My favorite UA-camr
😃Yess! A new brilliant video. Great stuff, thanks alot.👍 Btw, the Rc3 locos were made for fast passenger services (->160kmh). Has a transmission gear conversion been done to this unit to make it more suitable for freight services? Just curious.
@@49a463 yes, a transmission conversion has been made on some, one is even weighted down. But, you can really feel it on the rest of the fleet that they’re not really made to haul freight
My other favorite bedtime video!!!!
Nice video I love your videos
Glad you like them! :D
Yay...welcome back😁👍
I never left
@@RailCowGirl I meant you're back posting again...love all your videos❤😁👍
🐦🐦 3:16:10 What I am amazed with is no chatting on the radio at all. Even during day shifts. Is it GSM that provides direct contact with given train? Or do you cut them for the video like during shunting in Bergen? Because still on our state railways we use regular VHF radio, so you have to focus to catch your train number in that constant yapping. Especially on large stations, where many trains depart.
Yet here - total silence and calmness. With these silent locomotives I believe you can be way less tired after 3,5h drive and get ready for another.
we do not use open communications in Europe, we use GSM-R. So yes, GSM with rail functionality.
Thank you so much! SOOOOOO COOL!!!❤
Thank YOU for watching :D
This weekend is fun when it comes to trains...
* Setesdalsbanen released a video of the 130 year old number 2 running again.
* That 130 year old locomotive is the only one available for hauling trains east of Kristiansand and west of Nordagutu
* RailCowGirl release another long driver's eye view of The Bergen Line
* And in Germany the European Tram Driver's Championship is held
