Really enjoyed watching that. What a fabulous place to work! I did 25 years on the railway here in the UK as a Guard and a station controller. In the early days when we had slam door trains, we used to to an early morning run that would take us through the New Forest area of Hampshire. We'd always stop at Beaulieu Road station, a tiny place in the middle of nowhere. I remember stepping down onto the platform. / All you could hear was the birds singing their dawn chorus and the hot resistors under the train just ticking away to themselves. Very happy days indeed. Thank you for posting this video, watching it really made my day. :-)

Wow! Been working down in Chile and Peru for just over three months and finally got a chance to watch one of your video and was pleasantly surprise to see you now operating a
freight-train had no idea until seeing this video you did both freight and passenger train operations. I guess until seeing this video I had the idea that train engineers were assigned to either freight or passenger service duty. Kind of silly of me to think that but just goes to show how wrong my assumption was. Great video, thoroughly enjoyed seeing a different side to your engineering abilities, RailCowGirl your one of the BEST that's for sure.

I like all the videos of Rail Cow Girl (since a long time, when she was Hindu Cow Girl, but I realized I like the stabilised videos more. The shaky cam is not my favourite video effect in the movies - and here also, it seems to me that the camera shaking chips away from the impression of serenity and stability that are given by other videos she uploaded, where I can feel like I am effortlessly flying at 0 gravity over the rail lines, in a beautiful landscape.
But a big Thank you for your effort, anyway!

Have a bit of a grudge when it comes to you Vmax indications. Isn't it true that a section of line can have as many as 5 Vmaxes? Vmax EMU (blue signs, Vmax B7 (small orange sign, Vmax line (black bordered orange triangular sign pointing up or down, Vmax train (set by rolling stock, 120kph if only -ss goods wagons, 100kph if -s and/or -ss good wagons, otherwise 80kph, and Vmax diverted (black bordered circular sign, or 40kph?

Are you working 6, 8, or ten hour shifts. It's not easy to tell from that crazy mid arctic circle sunlight. From some of the clips I get the impression that they run three trains a night unless there's too much cargo then they play follow my leader up the hill with as many trains as necessary. All planed by some evil computer somewhere in Oslo

Great vid, the first part of the vid seemed a bit de-saturated in color or that maybe just the winter color. Seemed to have a bit of problem with stabilization that sort of disappeared on the latter half. I don't think I have seen this route before on your prior rail travels. Either way I enjoyed your journey over the silver rails.

How many miles is that ride?
Why only 1 track?
Does the train come back in the opposite direction on that same track?
How many trains per day go on the same route?
What is the speed of the train in miles per hour?
Has the train ever gotten stuck and if so what happens then?

A lady I knew in London drove military trucks in WW II. The ladies used an open top Water Tower on an express line as their only way to have a cold bath. A express passed, took all the water, and they had a lot of trouble climbing out.

I have tried to puzzle out the placement of horn signals for some time, it seems they are not at road crossings. Why are they placed where they are? Or is it just a timed interval? Thank you for the wonderful content

Beautiful moonrise capture at 2: 57, then spotting it higher in the sky at 3: 03. That moon would sure look gorgeous over a clear night sky in the snowy mountains! And the Oslo freight yard - wow, it huge!
