Even though a train rides on set tracks and are not driven or steered like a car (and we can see the poles of the power lines to the pantograph) it is still kind of creepy when you cant see the tracks at all - feels like we could veer off.
While tunnels is not something I normally fancy (no view of the landscape, often dark and wet, in weather like this (and thick fog) they are suddenly a relief.

I have seen most of your videos. This one shows the mountain at its toughest and wildest. I cannot remember anything like this video from you before. It surely must have been a wonderful and exiting tour: wish I was there! I have been in the same mountains under the same weather conditions. I love it and always will.

I remember as a kid watching those winter themed Thomas the Tank Engine episodes from the early 2000's (the ones that Alec Baldwin narrated for, and I specifically remember this trill soundtrack in those winter episodes that was specifically meant to induce a sense of tension and drama.

Kudos to the engineers able to safely operate trains in these conditions, but I gotta ask: why in the hell is ANYONE riding these trains in those conditions? More importantly, how are they safely making it to/from the stations to take these trains in the first place?

The only thing that can compare to this is coming on an unexpected snowstorm at the top of a mountain, and having to descend the grade without chains in a big truck.
One false move.
Not just me, I had a brand new driver apprentice. on board

This was amazing, and well done to the driver, it became more auting as the journey continued, the lone passenger on the platform, the night drawing in,
the mist and as a photograper I could feel the subjects in front of me, excellent video.

Amazing to see the difference in weather on 2 sides of a mountain as well. Going in right before the signal failure its just a little bit bad, coming out it's a full on blizzard.
What is the purple signal when arriving at Finse?

FWIW: I just finished watching this video. It went from _Snow, _ to _More Snow, _ to _A LOT MORE SNOW, _ to THERE AIN'T NO GLOBAL WARMING, THIS IS A FING ICE AGE, to finally _almost no snow at all. _
WOWZERS!

RailCowGirl >>> As your locomotive rolls over and breaks through snow/ice, do you experience any sound or movement in the cab?
I _presume_ the weight of the train just immediately breaks right through it.
