TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Lets build the train and go from Flm to Myrdal - RailCowGirl

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In this episode we had to add some carriages to the train from different tracks in a very constricted time frame. It all went according to plan, and the train left on time from Flm to Myrdal. The weather is cold and everything is engulfed in frost. Not much longer now before we get some real snow. I know you're going to as about it, so I'm going to add the explanation for those signals right now. 1. Rectangular sign with 150 in it: Describes radiant of the curve, 150m 2. Triangle with 4 in it: Line speed sign. This indicates the maximum line speed. 4 = 40kmh. 3. Diamond shaped sign with a horizontal bar in it: Level crossing, driver must sound horn. : D Bergen Line information: Flam Line information: Signaling information: Line information and speed: Train Stops at: Flm Lunden Hreina Berekvam Blomheller Kjosfossen Reinunga Vatnahalsen Myrdal

Hah! So I guessed right when I surmised that those 130s or 150s announced the radius of the curve! :-) I still don't understand what meaning have those small yellow triangles (one up, the other in the opposite face down) with the rectangular bar: perhaps a generic slow down a bit if needed / can accelerate again?
And those black signals with yellow diagonal bars, from one to three: obviously a distance marker, but for what?
Last, yellow diamond signals with a circle within, always within station limits: a prohibition to sound the horn or?
After a while I also realised why I always saw so few cars, trucks and people on the roads or outside, even in summer: of course, Norway is 25% larger than Italy, but with 1/12 of the population. If it were not for the cold and the long nights in winter I could move there tomorrow just for this reason alone. Too much crowded for my taste around here.

Gotta love it! Another wonderful HinduCowGirl video of the Flam line. Was that wheel slip I heard? Does the loco have rail sanding? I also thought I detected a little squeak from the wheel flange dragging on the side of the rail head in your turns. As always I love your videos and love you for posting them. Thanks so much.
Have a good one!

oh that was neat. Starting out with fall colors and changing into into snow. I wish we could send you some of our water from Florida. We have had 80 inches so far this year. Our rainy season goes from January 1 to December 31. But we did have a massive drought once this year; no rain from February 14 to March 12!

Enjoyable journey. The low sun revealed features I had never noticed before. What time of the day was that? At first I thought it must be morning, but as the valley heads almost due south into the sun it looked from that perspective to be closer to midday.

I was surprised that the signal with the large 'V' wasn't displaying red when you cam up to it after picking up the carriages. Correction, I see it has a flashing red, my PC had paused (because the internet had slowed) between red flashes.

Ooh, has that switch man been seen, lately! I see the aliens failed to beam him up at the beginning, just pixilating his head. But then, as he was leaning over the switch - poof - gone!

Nice frosty morning, I'm sure the adhesion on the hill was kind of interesting. Nice video, everything looks very nice this time of year, especially the frost on the ties.

Switches changed manually (by pixelated person) surprised me. I just assumed that the switches were changed in a command center. Excellent ride. as always.

Always love the ride up the valley, beautiful scenery. Sun is pretty low now, 5-6 hours of daylight. Merry Christmas HCG, I have a couple mugs on the way. :D

Judging by your latest web cams Winter has arrived in Norway since this video was shot. Thank you for producing these high quality video's HCG.
