Thx for yet another great video! I love night cab rides, too, because all the signaling (light signals and fixed signals alike) is so much more legible than in the daylight. Plus, the Norwegian light signals' grammar makes perfect sense to me: two steady Greens, high ball on main route; one steady Green, reduced speed on a diverging route. All advanced signals are blinking: one blinking Green, expect two steady Greens; a blinking Green plus a blinking Amber, expect one steady Green; one blinking Amber, expect Red. Nearly 100% fail-safe, unlike its neighboring country's system (I'm talking to you, Sweden. QUESTION to our train driver: how do you know the exact reduced speed signaled by the Lonely Green? I mean, basically it will be something in the range of 30 to 40 km/h, but what if it is 60 or 100 km/h (eg on high-speed lines?

Hiya Hinducowgirl! Love your videos and have watched nearly all of them. I put on headphones with an audiobook and your videos with volume just loud enough to hear the engine. Very enjoyable for me! Anyway I have a question about this video. When you are leaving the station at time 1: 24: 15 some sort of flashing starts for a minute or two. Was the train arcing during that time or did you have some sort of light on? I don't ever remember seeing it on any other video and was curious.

Wow a lovely night ride with the sun setting and then total dark. Only the lights from homes and towns to illuminate the night skies. Thanks HinduCowGirl for all you have done for the herd, you are our herd master. I can truly say that from all the herd we love you. Now I need to get one of those HinduCowGirl hoodies for those cold Norwegian (Canadian) nights.

Oh, I see how it is. the tunnels under the Oslo Station get illuminated by kilometers worth of LED lighting strips, while anything on the Bergenbahn west of Al gets a small box of reflectors ( and maybe a roll of mirrored tape. I find myself so upset by this glaring inequality that I'm gonna' go and grab myself a doughnut.

I am hooked! just from this video that I ran across last week. The dark tunnels are spooky and I don't know if that bothers the drivers are not? Watching this video is relaxing, and has allowed me to see some of the landscape of Norway.

About 4 minutes into the video we see Elisenberg station - a ghost station that was completed at the track level but never made accessible from the surface. It was originally intended as another subway station like Nationaltheateret.

Why don't you add visual commentaries to your videos explaining various railroad stuff? Like, what this blinking semaphore or strange sign means. Maybe various other technical stuff? I'd love to learn more!

Very nice video! The cities get way more beautiful at night with snow on the ground and the yellow lights! And the flashes from the pantograph sparks agains the wire are something I've never seen at night.

I think those silver EMUs are so ugly. I wonder what's their point. Are they faster or something? Because they look a bit like high speed trains.
Do you ever drive them?

Nice ride in the dark. Nothing but the lights of houses and the signals to light up the dark. Is fun to venture into the dark in a train and that too for a couple of hours.
