First I want to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support! You guy's are AWESOME! I'm so glad and humble my videos means so much to you. Thank you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Each year marks a change in both roster and duty list. So we're now driving some of the long hauls from Voss to l on a regular basis. This trip goes, as mentioned, from Voss til l with the regional train from Bergen to Oslo. Had to use the wipers in the lower parts but as we got higher and further away from the coast the temperature dropped way below zero and the snow became dry and light. With other words, less need of wipers. Haha. It's always fascinating to see how the weather changes at Finse. From snow and overcast to fantastic and beautiful winter sun and light. Trivia: Finse is the location for the ice planet Hoth in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back. The train stops at these stations 0: 00 - Voss (Driver change) 46: 13 - Myrdal 1: 00: 19 - Hallingskeid (Only on demand) 1: 11: 43 - Finse (Highest situated station on the Bergen Line 1222m / 4009ft amsl) 1: 30: 30 - Haugastl 1: 41: 09 - Ustaoset 1: 51: 29 - Geilo 2: 15: 09 - l (Driver change) information about signals can be found here: ! PS: Sorry about the sucky headlights on this engine

You have a nice and playful way of starting your videos. In this one it appears as though your personal All Electric, All Terrain Vehicle has arrived at the platform with no one at the controls. Did it sense you were there at the platform and then rush to meet you? In several other comments people have asked for more info on the videos. When I went back I realized that you already have provided most of what they are asking you to provide. Remember - less is more. Take a look at a video posted within the last few days - 4K CABVIEW Bijelo Polje Bar, Produced by dulevoz published April 10, 2018. He provides essential info in the lower left corner and his ID in the lower right. His ID is clear and very readable even though it is transparent. The info on the left has 2 items that remain the same and then as needed he adds then removes other info. The speed of his train engine looks very similar to the speed you drive yours at. Average km/h varies between 50 and 80 km/h depending on conditions. A minimum speed of about 35 km/h when conditions require it. You do not jump ahead and get started as soon as the lights change in your favor - VERY GOOD. Even though you can start you seem to be looking around and rechecking whether it is safe to start. The other train driver is not as careful and seemed to stop without reason and start before the red light gave him permission. Then the signals seemed messed up - inconsistent and confusing. Then the biggest crime was that he posted the video without removing the scenes that showed all the trash and debris that was all around the train depot and some of the residential areas. If that video he posted has anything good in it that was completely accidental.
The lighting problem in the tunnels is due to your camera lens f-stop number. It must be too high. Reduce the f-stop number and the image will immediately become more visible. Unfortunately to do that you have to replace the lens and/or the complete camera. What camera are you using?
And what a wonderful ride - smooth - quiet - but then you have locked yourself away from all the chatter and confusion in the back with all the unwashed masses, the less cultured and uneducated educated.
Final thing - my first romance was a clumsy effort with a Norwegian girl. Pity it did not last but thank you for bring back those memories and feelings.

Well, this is a regional train. Just like italian regional train. The only difference is that we have to push our regional train with our feet. And the toilets. You should see our regional train toilets. Catholic, italian, regional trains: the best in the world. Greetings from Rome Italy: -)

My grandfather, an old Nickle Plate Railroad engineer, used to say the worst job on a rail trip with beautiful scenery was the engineer, because they're the only one who can't relax and take it in. And, when he'd deadhead, he'd complain that he couldn't see anything.

Thank you. I prefer my train videos without music, but I happened to watch this one with the Holberg Suite of Edvard Grieg playing in the background and found it to be quite pleasant. This recording was by the Trondheim Soloists conducted by Bjarne Fiskum.

I have been watching these videos for a couple years now and I love traveling through Norway vicariously, BUT does anyone live there? Except for a few people at the train stations waiting for the train, we never see anyone outside, winter or summer. )
reply

Love this and your other videos. I would give up a lot to live in Norway, especially as I was only able to cross-country ski three times this past winter due to lack of snow. Your trains, and scenery, and snow, are fantastic!

Really enjoy your videos. One question--in Voss, there is a track that takes off from the mainline and appears to curve down into the town. Is that a spur track to an industry, or a branch-line to another town? Just curious.

ive drivin trains in sydney australia but to drive a train at that speed and comming out of a tunnel at that speed into a snow storm where u cannot see the tracks takes guts and confidence in your track maintenance crew

I thought HinduCowGirl was just a silly name until your videos made me realize I'd rather be a cow in Norway than an angel in heaven. I love Train Driver's Views and HinduCowGirl's are the best.
