TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Working the local on a cold winter day
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 дек 2017
- The Voss Line used to be a narrow gauge independent line from 1883 until 1909 when it merged with the Bergen Line.
The Voss Line was constructed as a narrow gauge (1067mm) and this proved to be a challenge since the Bergen line was being constructed with normal gauge (1435mm). So, one night in August 1904 they converted the line to normal gauge. During the preparations for the merge, several tunnels had to be widened and many curves had to be straightened.
The remanence of the old layout can be seen on several places on the trip.
Today marks the winter solstice. The "shortest" day of the year. We will finally have longer and longer days. Sunrise 9:42am, sunset 3:22pm.
Enjoy!

No music!!! :D yay No talking!!! Only gorgeous landscapes,authentic sounds. . . .that´s so great!!
That's what this channel is about :)
@@RailCowGirl Yes - I like that so much ! *waves* from Germany ! :O)
I don't know what I liked more. The walk outside or the walk through the train.
These videos have reduced my work productivity to a bare minimum, takk
The beauty of it is just ridiculous.
I could watch this forever!
My new hobby: watching train vids
Train videos are the best.
Hello HCG, my brother worked on track electronics from Jackson, MS to Chicago,IL, USA for many years (now retired). The stories he told. I just found these vids a few days ago, and I am spellbound ! I always wanted to get a ride in a train engine , but my brother could not make it happen with management. BUT now I can drive the train EVERY day, Thanks To You !! I set these to "fullscreen" and "loop", and fall asleep in a "sleeper car" in my living room, forrested with 10 Christmas trees, nearly every nite !! I particularly like the snow scenes, where snow has completely covered the tracks ! I also love the walk-arounds, the history, and the track signal explanations. I am there ! THANK YOU !!
You made my day girl! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Italy!
Thank you! You too!
Oh thank you for the walk around and through the train before we got started. That was special.
As a Canadian living next to The Rocky Mountains, it hurts me terribly to say Norway is every bit as beautiful as any mountain view!!!! Thanks for posting!
Oooo! *Thank You* for the little tour of the cabin and control spaces!
My father used to "chase" trains just to watch them as they worked; I would tag-along and enjoy learning about our railroads here in the southeast United States. When I was even younger, I witnessed the waning years of the Skaneateles Short Line railroad in Skaneateles, New York -- Father built a scale model of it in its prime in the days of stream (I would watch him do this for hours - I was his little assistant!). Such memories!! :-)
Another great Video, nice to see the river in a calmer mood this time, and all those frozen waterfalls and cascades, Beautiful
I love this train from Bergen to Voss. I have done the trip several times and always stood over for some days at the superb Fleischer's Hotel in Voss before going back to Bergen. What an adventure and what a wonderful time I had! I love Norway and would live there.
Wow! What a beautiful world to emerge into after the long darkness. Can understand how a snake must feel
Even the local has amazing views! So glad I found your channel!
Pretty much my favorite day of the year :P ♡WINTER!♡
Glad you like it :D
As always, You present the beautyful landscape and the very well maintained railway of Your country in a very professional way. always nice to see. But this one is a very special for me personally. Because the 21.12. is my birthday. What a present You made to me, without kowing about it!!! Thanks a lot from a only wet and dusky Germany. No Snow, nowhere....
Happy belated Birthday! 🎁 🎂😃
Wow! I liked that you moved one train up to the station and then drove another at the beginning. What an spectacular journey for a local. Ours here in Brisbane Australia are totally boring by comparison. I really liked the long tunnel and then out into the bright city lights at the end. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Cheers
I love to watch your videos and watch the houses go by. As they do, I wonder who lives in them and what they do for a living, and what do they like to do for fun.
It's nice to just kick back in the recliner and let your videos play on the television.
no doubt about it. You make the best train can ride videos. 🤗 I like the walkarounds and walk thrus. I put these videos on my tv at night and lay in bed with them running.
Thank you! It's so beautiful that I don't find words. The gloomy beauty and power of nature in these cliffs and sleeping waterfalls, this whole atmosphere excites and fascinates me. I think if I could choose where to live the next life, I would only choose Norway. At any time of the year, she's amazing...
Please Ms HinduCowGirl... Post more of these wonderful videos. Having watched one every day, my daily intake of the amazing Norwegian countryside would appear to be coming to a somewhat sad and ignominious end...
Hello from USA Railcowgirl💜
Hello :D ❤️
After being quite sick for Christmas ( IV insert and pump!) watching this video has really cheered me up.
I now hope to visit Norway some day, try some lutefisk and ride the trains!!!!
Wow lots of great information. Thank you so much for sharing the views of your lovely country with us around the world.

Great video, the opening sequence made it very "first person perspective".
With that beautiful scenery, you must get bored with all those tunnels. Great video ! :O)
this is oddly refreshing to watch after a 100f day :)
Hinducowgirl, I love your videos and I've become addicted to them. The Information you've inserted here and there is very helpful, Thank you for sharing.
Very enjoyable. Thanks!
Lovely video! And something different! I love the captions of the train class and station names! Thanks.

Another great video! Thanks for all your amazing uploads this year. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! Best wishes from the UK.
tyvm for this, I think the drivers are wonderful to work in all weathers
A wonderful ride. A different journey but just as pleasing and enjoyable as all of your productions. Happy Holidays to you.
BTW, nice video in the tunnels and coming out of them
Loved it!! Watched most of your videos and enjoy them. Sometime you need to show us all what you look like!!
I don't remember the video's name but you can see her at 57:00 walking in front of the cab and taking a picture. Very good looking with dark hair and maybe 5'7". Looks to be in her twenties.
Great video as usual..thank you.good luck
I could watch this for an hour and twenty minutes! Just kidding, loved every minute of it.
Fantastic! Just what was needed before the holidays. Thanks so much for your efforts in creating these videos. I was surprised to see a goods train! Awesome!
man, i like your videos a lot, with walking, intro of the train. very rare and great work. Best regards from Romania... :)
Great Cab Ride! Going to have to visit those parts one day!
Here in the North East of England, they are still running diesel multis on local lines, :)
Great video as usual..thank you.
An excellent video, thank you. The captions were very helpful as my wife and I did this journey (from Myrdal) last August.
Thank you for sharing another great video. Always look forward to watching your posts. Happy Christmas!
HinduCowgirl I watched all your videos more than once learn something new every time love them thanks
Great video! This is one of my favorite trains, love the retro appearance
Terrific HCG. Haven't time to watch all of it now but I'll be back!
I love the tour of the train at the start! I can't wait to sit down and watch this later. :) I absolutely love your videos!
My first time discovering you videos. An amazing ride seeing exactly what the driver sees. Some of the scenery outside the tunnels, breathtaking. I am definitely subscribing, thank you.
Wow, another outstanding video from magnificent Norway! This time not train, but a metro (tube) line :-) Thank you for posting.
Milan Dupal
This is not a metro line. It’s a commuter-train run by the same company (NSB -the Norwegian state railway).
superdresser I know, just joke concerning plenty of tunnels.
Awesome. Thank you!! 👍👍
Thank you for the tour, it was fabulous💜
great vid thanks!
I love the videos. Especially the snow ones. Please keep them coming. Awesome!!!
Thank you for nice video. Intro was super!
Well, you have gone and done it again and produced a wonderful cab ride. What can I say..... Said it before but I will say it again, Happy Christmas to you and have a great new year. Looking forward to more cab rides. Best wishes as always...👍🏼
Another memorable journey. Thank you!
How beautiful... great THX!!! ♥
Thank you for this awesome video. Really enjoyed it :)

i've never been on a commuter train but those are pretty quick stops. no waiting around.

Nagyon jó videó Gratulálok! 🚄
Good Job
Piękne widoki i trasa. Film doskonale zrealizowany. Super, aż chce się tam być.
Nice!
ah ha ... 0.04 ...press + to start play ... loving it already !
Vokst opp med Bergensbanen og mange venner som er/var lokförer har jeg faktisk angret på at jeg ikke valgte det yrket. Men dine videoer er en fin kompensasjon. Takk for det!! Nå kan jeg sitte ved PCen og storskjerm og "kjöre".
I see a funkwerk MESA 25, I press like. ;)
something beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
@@RailCowGirl what happened when you don't record...😢
I visited Voss by Bubblecar back in the 1960s! This looks a more comfortable way of travelling!
Oh my, that must have been a tight experience ;)
You can see photos of our epic journey to Norway on RUclips with others under the title MESSERSCHMITT PHOTOS FROM THE 1960s Part 2
Bardzo dobry film. W sferze faktograficznej precyzyjny. W sferze emocjonalnej interesujący. Bardzo dobry film, prawie jak Tima.
Svært interressant :) Tusen takk for turen. Takk ogso for notisane på kvar av stasjonane.
Ellers ynskjer eg deg og dine ei rettelig god jul :)
nice video lovely
The snows gone here in Scotland, well not on the mountains, so on Xmas day i'm playing one of your snow videos pushing the snow away when doing a run. Merry Crimbo to everybody. (there something about the train in deep snow and lovely countryside.)
Fantastisk 😀
É muito bom viagem de trem
Lækkert - Vakre, vide, vene VOSS 😀💖 😎
Gotta love it ❤️
Gostei muito da viagem
Look likes me when playing Train sim world hehe.
LOL! but this is the best sim out there ;) REAL :p
THE best train my Friends
sure bet a lot of people once you stepped into the cab of the train, the first thing they saw was the wheel, and they thought, a Steering wheel on a train, Really???? LOL
Nice✌ !
Great film. Noticed that some of the stations were built in nineteenth century. And some as late as the nineteen sixties
Another super video! A viewer of your videos can tell that you really love your job. You show it. You make videos. You use captions to indicate the stations, and different aspects of your job (type of locomotive, what signals and signs mean, and answer questions willingly). As mentioned before, I really love your videos! They can be watched over and over without getting boring.
I do have a question: At 1:11:30 there is a track that branches off to the right. Where does that go? It doesn't get used much given the rust of the rail. Thanks so much for another great video!!!
Hey Swarf :D
The track you see that goes to the right is the old line around the mountain to Garnes and Arna. the old line is today a heritage line with steam train that runs every Sunday during summer. Before Arnanipa and Ulriken tunnel opened the line swirled around both mountains Garnes - Arna - Haukeland - Bergen.
You can find more information about the heritage line here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Voss_Line
Watching these videos with the speed x2 is awesome.
It almost feels like at 88mph it's possible the flux capacitor fires up and can go back in time.
Yeah, this is the trip i've v.v. made last august with exactly the same 'older model?' train not the fancy hi-tech new ones you shoot most of your fabulous footage with :)
A beautiful trip! The scenery is magnificent, even in winter.
Given the relatively light ridership, this line probably would not be economically feasible to construct today. The cost of constructing all those tunnels would make it very expensive.
If that’s you softly talking may I say you have a beautiful voice!
