Finally the plow season is on with snow drifts on the mountain pass! For each year there is less snow on the mountain pass and therefore there is less chance of videos like Extreme winter conditions on the mountain pass but this year it looks like we're getting there! Finally! We're going from sea level in Bergen over the mountain pass through Finse at 1222m above sea level. The highest point of the Bergen Line is in the Finse tunnel at 1237m above sea level. You can hear me honk like a monkey there. Finse is also the threshold for two weather systems and its usually here youll see the stark difference in the weather between western Norway and eastern Norway. Ive added some photos to this video of the train at Mjlfjell and at Geilo. Mjlfjell and Geilo is considered the beginning and the end of the mountain pass. And sorry about the whiteouts exiting the tunnels, it seems that the latest update to the camera has slowed it's exposure adjustment

In the 1970s when I was living in Bergen some friends and I took a ski tur trip. We took this train to Finse, see at about 2: 53 in this video. It was a day very much like the one shown here. We hung out at the sommarhotel for a couple of hours with no let up in the storm. Having no money we went out, strapped our skis on and left following the line of poles stuck in the snow, visibility less than 10 meters. Got lost between 2 poles and were out in the trackless Hardangervidda without any reference point. Finally stumbled across a large boulder and put our tent up in its lee. It mostly stayed up after we built two large snow walls sheltering it somewhat. Quite the adventure!

Watching your videos makes me wish I lived in Norway (I'm American. It's such a beautiful place!
And as a train buff, I'd love to ride your trains all over the country!
I'm sure it was okay, but that looked like you came too close to that other train at 2: 00.
When you back up, do you have a camera looking out the other end so you can see where you're going on a screen? Or do you have to depend on a dispatcher to tell you when to stop and go?

I just found your page and have been enjoying your videos!
There seem to be a lot of very long tunnels on your run!
When you are in a tunnel is it possible to post text of how long the tunnel is?
Keep up the amazing videos!

Ok. So most of the housing on the sides look really close to the railway and they do not look to be old. Did they just build them that close to the railway for a reason of is the railway recent and just built close to the housing?

I love your videos! Especially the 4K trips in the snow. And the ones where the tracks are completely covered. And the crazy long tunnels. I keep your videos on while I'm working from home. Thanks for making these.

I drive this way 2009 every day in the winter with my truck. Oslo- Bergen- Oslo, other driver called it the suicidetrip!
The last weeks was very funny in norway and sweden with the waether

WOW! This is up there with 'Stormy Conditions'! The build up to the climax (no spoilers), the pace builds up steadily. Must be amongst the best 'cab views' ever on YT!

I'm new to your site. Do you operate a freight train or a passenger train? I never listened to utube, except for music. I'm not one for swearing. Thank you

That was and excellent cab ride. I liked at the end where you showed the whole train that you had been operating leaving AL. :): ): )

Wow, Pretty cool! Question though, when you started out in Bergen how far away were you from the concentration camps in Bergen-Belsen?
