I have this on in the background as I work. Every once in a while, I watch for a few minutes. I find myself looking at the houses, wondering who lives there and what life is like in that part of the world. I feel the cold rain outside and what the inside of the train must feel like - warm, maybe a little damp. I feel the vibration of the train as I look out the window and watch the scenery unfurl. The train winds its way over the tracks, past the snow-covered grass and houses, and for a brief moment, I feel like I"m actually there.
Maybe you were. I don't know if reincarnation is a thing but if it is then there isn't any reason to believe that it has to be limited to past lives, why couldn't you be living multiple lives simultaneously in the present? Or if we and the entire universe sprung forth from the same energy, we could all just be the same entity living every life in every form. In essence, you are you, and the person in the house, and the driver of the train, and even me.
In 2020, I lost my best brother. I kept his ashes with me until his funeral. For some reason, I started watching this on Pluto TV and became hooked. It felt as if he and I were on a journey together, until I had to let go. He was 13 years older and used to tell me, fondly, of an Amtrak trip he and some friends took when I was about 10. I sort of felt I was on a train trip with him. I watched Slow TV until they announced the end of it on Pluto TV. But what a calming memory of that awful time in my life.
I charged my kids high fives and thumbs up for peanuts and cold cereal snacks after my wife forbade me from taking their money. Dining cars are expensive! (It's cold out and the youngest wanted a train ride.)
I'm currently preparing for the GMAT/writing papers and I've gotten into a study strategy where I focus on the exam preparation while the train is moving and I take brief breaks when the train stops. It's more interesting than setting a timer, and the change of scenery is nice.
@@tomservo75 Well I might end up studying in Switzerland, so who knows -- maybe I'll make room for a real life scenic rail study session at some point while getting my Master's 😂
Imagine a train mounting a full 8k 360 array, and using some ultra-HD panels to put all around your office or a room in your house... insanely expensive, of course, but it would be like being on the train itself, relaxing as it moves. Maybe in the future when the tech gets cheaper.
I found this video during covid when I was itching to travel but couldn't. I'm watching it again now. There's just so much about it I love, the heavy snow, the gorgeous changing landscapes, the tunnels, the people waving at the stations, wondering who lives in various houses I see. I find it so soothing.
i used to watch fireplace ambiences but I was clearly missing out. I love traveling and looking out my window (especially on snowy days), so this is awesome
I'm so glad I found this on here. Pluto took this off. I fell asleep to this. I have insomnia, COPD, and Lupus, as well as chronic pain. This was relaxing and enjoying too. The scenery.... breathtaking. It's wonderful. Thank you.
It’s a trip to watch a video that is nearly ten hours long of a train moving almost non stop the whole time and to think that every single piece of the hundred and hundreds of miles of track were all laid by hand.
I love how the scenery changes so quickly. one minute you are in a town, next you are in a fjord, next you are in a cutting, through a tunnel and then on a cliff face
Having lived in Greenland for awhile during the Cold War, above the arctic circle, the subdued lighting of the far north is familiar to me. The Norwegian landscape has a quiet beauty and sense of isolation and remoteness No wonder this land has produced such such explorers as Roald Amundson, Fridtjof Nansen and others who were inured to such harsh and challenging conditions and had such resourcefulness. I grew up on trains. A very educational way for people of any age to learn about and comprehend geography. Trains take you away with the rhythm of the wheels.
I watched this over the period of 2 days while at work. Really enjoyed it. Sat back with a cup of coffee on my break and watched it instead of going to Starbucks. Thanks.
I was an erasmus student in Norway in 2016. I miss Norway too much. This video helps me chill out and recall the shiny old days. What a beauty it was !
I just saw Rick Beato talking to Devin Townsend about how he plays guitar while watching ten hour train ride videos while drinking several cups of coffee and jamming on his looper pedal. This is pretty cool.
i need this video more than ever now during lockdown. it makes me feel safe, warm , protected, memories of scandinavian winter, and wonders of summer , during this journey i can pretend im not on lockdown, and really engage my fantasies and memories......
Yes, that Devin Townsend. This is my first time watching, but apparently Devin wrote music while watching this particular video. An interesting idea, to be honest.
Someday I hope to travel and experience these type countries in real time and to see such beautiful places with my own eyes but for now RUclips is a great place to virtually travel the World. So thankful to have these videos!
@@dontwastetimeyouarelosingr8172 Very true indeed..lol.. i`m born above the Artic circle in Norway, moved far south to sweden for 12 years,, but last year i suddenly found myself moving back up North
Snow is wet, cold, miserable but yet when you see it in the vast quantities in this video it is magnificent. The whole landscape is magnificent and if I had to describe it to anyone I would say that it is like small to huge clumps of cotton wool and the trees are just like you see on Christmas cards. I was amazed to see there was no smoke coming from chimneys from the homes but, I would have a guess and say they were holiday home's, Perhaps? Watching the sky over the range in the background and it looked like it was about to dump a huge amount of snow. I've never seen anything like this ever before. Simply stunning. Thank you.
In such remote places, as you witness the long dark days of winter, the drama of the aurora and the midnight sun hugging the horizon, you, also, sense the immense, silent rhythm of the planet and its relation to our star, without any extraneous influences. It is profound. I have skied without moonlight in the Wyoming Tetons, guided only by the diffused light of our galaxy while on Nordic Ski Patrol bivouacs, a scene beyond comprehension. A bit scary. Nothing moves out there among the constellations. It is timeless. We are so alone in this part of the universe amidst so much space.
Вы наверно отчаянный любитель природы раз катались без луны, это здорово. А я жила на севере , я скучаю по тому месту где я жила.

Nine hours 56 minutes of fun. I experienced my memories while traveling on the Russian Trans-Siberian train Thanks to the creator and publisher of this content
The Norwegians have mastered the art of ice training and true TV. Despite having been to over 30 countries I could never afford Scandinavia but have always wanted to go there one day perhaps. Being more used to very hot countries this to me is geo shocker! Breathtaking views. Phenomenal style. Bravissimo
I did this train ride in reverse Bodø to Trondheim with my father in the late 70’s in summer. The first of several long beautiful relaxing train rides I was to take in Norway. The trains back then were better for viewing. The seats weren’t as high and were spaced more widely apart with bigger windows. Heaven. Nostalgic and relaxing to see these videos on demand. Also recommend Nomadic Ambience’s drive from Geiranger. Have done that trip as well one summer in the early 80s. Stunning part of Norway.
I never knew about this concept but maybe because I watch a lot of rain and lofi stuff yt decided to put this in my recommendation, and for that I want to say big thanks to yt. This is amazing , I literally completed my 3 hours continuous study session because of this. I don’t know how but this helped me concentrate a lot. Thanks for who ever came up with this idea. ♥️
This is a great ride. I love to see what looks like small towns that the train goes through and the houses on either side of the tracks. My first job after school required me to ride a New Haven RR train into Grand Central station. I hated the job but loved the ride home on the train back home after a lousy day at the office. Thanks for the video.
Unedited, unfiltered clips like this seems to be better story telling than the over-edited crap we see on tv or youtube sometimes. I once watched a clip of the show river monsters that was like 40 mins unedited from casting to landing the fish with the camera put on a tripod on the river bank. And that was the best clip of the show i’ve seen so far after so many years of watching full episodes. Storytelling is more riveting if we got to see what an activity really looks like even if its just a man waiting for eternity to get a bite.
Listen, if you're not already familiar with these Norwegian train driver views don't watch this and then whine about it in the damn comments. We watch these because we like them just the way they are. ok? There are many ten hour videos on RUclips. Not to your taste? Fine, then please go look at something you like, but do it quietly. We like calm and quiet around here.
@@Danny-oi8yl The irony is totally in your mind. I suppose that was meant to be a withering retort of some kind? Totally unwithered here, son. Better luck next time.
No, I'll leave that "Withering" reparte' to you. My post was written in "sarcasm" since you're engaging in the very behavior that you're complaining about.
I liked whenever i saw people driving working going about their business, people i might never meet or acknowledge their existance which just as complex as mine. Also watching the cold weather but being cozy warm at home... Nice relaxing feeling
wouldn't want to live in those parts of the world during winter but experiencing them by train would be very enchanting i think. I liked model trains when I was a kid and I always loved the winter scenes... the little villages and depots dotting the snow covered landscape
@@EnjoyFirefighting I lived many years in the great lakes area of the U.S. and since I'm not into winter sports I felt shut in for several months of the year. Even more than that, the many many cloudy days affected my mood and energy levels negatively. This happens to a lot of people I believe. I think this is linked to vitamin D levels. Lastly I did not like the dampness throughout the year (including humidity in the summer). I live in a desert climate now and while the summers are hot there is plenty of sunshine and dry weather and I feel better overall for it.
@@calldwnthesky6495 as a comparison: Bodø, the northernmost point of this route, is only 50 miles north of the polar circle and, looking west, as high up in the north as the southern top of Prince Charles Island in Canada, which is roughly 1,800 miles north of Toronto. Yes it does get dark in the winter and as it's north of the polar circle remains dark without sunlight for a short period of time, however it's not nearly as cold as you probably expect. I lived some time 140 miles further up north, ... yes it gets gold, but not much below freezing temperature, can hardly get colder than -5°C / 23°F. Also, being right at the coastline the air wasn't very damp, in fact Norway has pretty dry air during the winter which is also a brush fire risk there (in fact not summer heat). Yes the mood can be affected by the darkness, however when you go there e.g. in autumn where they have plain "normal" day and night time, you hardly feel the daily change to no sunlight at all. And, as energy is produced all-green, Norwegians often let the light burn in the living room, kitchen etc during the night or when they're out of the house, so it doesn't feel cold and dark, even when you're out on the streets in the late evening hours. As dark as it gets in the winter, the sun stays up all day and night during the summer and you can literally have sun 24-7 But it's nice to hear that you found yourself a place where you feel much better now! I live in Germany in central Europe; That'S about as far north as the American-Canadian border; While we get up to 105°F in the summer, we might as well get -13°F in the winter
@@EnjoyFirefighting if i had lived in the area you described, who knows, maybe i would've stayed... but i am here now, and too old to experiment with someplace new. i'm much better adjusted to the desert than i ever was to the great lakes climate and for this life, i think that'll do. thank you for your reply, i am certainly better informed
I find these train views hypnotic and calming. I love there there is no commentary or human interference other than what's "out there". I get quite drawn in to the view and the rhythm. One thing I do get though, as an avid driver, I am used to looking out for idiots on the road, that I keep expecting something hurtling round a blind corner we will have to avoid. Yes its illogical but its an instinct that's kept me alive! I can live with it. I recently watched The Gan, an Australian train that goes from south to North and back (only 3 hrs). It was great. No corners! This is much more interesting, though both have a soporific relaxing effect.
This has got to be the most amazing video I have ever watched! Winter version is the very best, I checked the other three and this one clearly stands out as the most impressive and the most relaxing ! I only wish they had kept the real-time sound and the real-time movement when the train reached its stations and stopped.
i use this video to help me pay attention to audio books, having something moving to focus on is really pleasant, idk what i would do without this video. thank you
Even Passengers on board can't afford to keep watching out side for 9 hours. So after sometime I fixed laptop screen in front of Budhha Idol. He watched rest of vedeo, believe me,when I came back,he was smiling☺️☺️
Another “Devin Townsend brought me here” shoutout. Now we need a version of this video set to one of his epic loops. Sigur Ros did it with “Route One.” Now we need a Devin version set to this video. Make it happen, Heavy Devy.
My favourite part has to be between 7:45:00 and 7:57:00 (approximately), where you just guess the evidence of the Arctic circle by the sudden lack of vegetation
Totally agree it's the best part. But the lack of vegetation is due to the train is crossing the mountain plateau of Saltfjellet ( around 670 meter altitude ) .....not that it's crossing the Arctic Circle .....which ....by the way...... the train cross at 7:49 minus a few seconds.
Sitting in a recliner with a broken ankle watching. This type of video is great for that. Once I took a train in Sweden in December from Malmo to Stockholm. Reminds me of that a little, but the weather is a little worse, and there is less snow, it looks much warmer, in this video.
I really love this! It's amazing to listen to when I'm studying. Also I like to see those people waiting on the platform before the train arrive at the station. Thx for posting this amazing video!!
Cool to think that I’ve watched this before, and then I hear him talk about watching it to help him write music! Makes me come back and want to try to do it as well
@@stepheng9607 When you write the hours minutes and seconds of a video with commas between. For example, I like the tunnel at 5:09:36 < and you can click on that, that's a timestamp.
Followed the whole journey from Trondheim to Bodo on Google Earth. Where I live we don't get snow, and our winters are very mild (20C/68F). (Our summers are very hot though). This was a fascinating insight into how people live with snow and cold. Quite amazing. I almost wish we had 4 seasons here. Thanks for posting.
On the American continent Canada would be quit similar I suppose. I hear often from people from the south that they like the experience of the seasons when living. If I could I would spend the winter in the most south part of Europe where the days are not so short and the temperatures are also around 20C/68F in the winter. In the alps however it is great in the winter. The temperatures feel much milder then they are on high attitude, and the atmosphere of wintersport, Jodelmusic, and "Gluhwein" is fantastic.
That's all well and good until there are 3 feet of snow covering your car in the morning and you have to drive to work with zero visibility. Also, 20C is a nice summer here in Canada. Winter gets to -40 for a few weeks and then it doesn't matter if you use Celsius or Freedomhieght because they are the same at that point. xD @@ronnie9187

@@ronnie9187 Canada is colder than most of Norway, with a few exceptions inland and in the far north. Norway gets heat along most of the coast (but especially south) from the Gulf stream, which they don't get as much even as far south as around N.Y. (or at least slightly north of N.Y.) on the US/Canada side. I'm in Oslo now and it's still rainy and mild, no snow, it's november 14th.
Its amazing, some of it could be the north of England where I live, and then you see something so foreign it could never be England. Great videos. I put them on at bedtime. Its a joy to see the journey isn’t over when I wake up. Thanks for these great videos. 😊
This is amazing! I love this video. I am so interested geography, love observing the land and cities but I don't really have the inclination to travel far these days. This is great for me.
The changes in geography and meteorology are amazing to watch. Throughout the video I wondered why humans settled in those locations or why someone would build a house next to a rail.
my great aunt lives in an estate right across a train station. It means everytime she tries to pour tea, she has to make sure there isnt any trains nearby, or she'll end up spilling, but it also means she can go visit family, and vice versa, easily, due to having modern trains running practically from her front door. As far as she's concerned, and the rest of the family too, the upsides severely outweigh any downsides.
In 5 days i've watched all video. It was like travelling just close to driver. In Mo I Rana i "made a stop" and watched a video about that city, with a drone. I tryied also "to stop" in Røkland, but it is a small village and on You Tube i've found only a video with school children dancing a norwegian modern song. Now i'm going "to visit" Bodo, as last city of journey. I heard about this city in 1981 more or less, when Bodo Glimt football team faced Inter Milan in a european cup. I still remember. It's been an unexpected experience, i love trains and Norway is a wonderful country. Thanks to You and to the man who put the names of stations where train stopped, very helpful. Greetings from Rome Italy.

Bodø has grown quite a lot the last few years, for Northern Norway that is. It has around 52 500 people now, second largest town in Northern Norway after Tromsø.
im from turkey and i always dreamed of living in norway.far away from religions,wars and conflicts but very close to beauties of nature.such a wonderful country.
matt im british and had a weird experience when i lived in scandinavia, i got a train every morning during rush hour in deep winter, snow, hard winds, daily, sometimes -14, not once was my train late, i loved my journeys every day, :)
british are afraid of snow. I worked in a shop center in Uk and they shut down the center when it s snowing. Whyyy?😂in my country we go to school and work even it s a snow storm😂
If the UK was this snowy trains wouldn't even run, let alone for almost 10 hours! Lucky you; here in the US, if the trains run at all, it is a miracle. Our passenger rail system is horrible.
I remember this video! It was one of the very first really long full HD videos you could download. I downloaded it straight from the Norwegian site in 2010 or so and it's still sitting in my NAS at home. It weighs in at about 22 GB, which for the time meant a download of several hours.

Watching the sky over the range in the background and it looked like it was about to dump a huge amount of snow. I've never seen anything like this ever before. Simply stunning. Thank you.
Hello Devin 🚂 👍🤘😂
A thousand thanks for bringing to me the unattainable.
In such remote places, as you witness the long dark days of winter, the drama of the aurora and the midnight sun hugging the horizon, you, also, sense the immense, silent rhythm of the planet and its relation to our star, without any extraneous influences. It is profound. I have skied without moonlight in the Wyoming Tetons, guided only by the diffused light of our galaxy while on Nordic Ski Patrol bivouacs, a scene beyond comprehension. A bit scary. Nothing moves out there among the constellations. It is timeless. We are so alone in this part of the universe amidst so much space.
Вы наверно отчаянный любитель природы раз катались без луны, это здорово. А я жила на севере , я скучаю по тому месту где я жила. Где не хватало солнца, зато выручали леса, рыбалка, ягоды собирали в лесу, скучаю по соснам и кедрам. По запаху багульника в лесу. И скучаю по сугробам и морозам, сухому морозному воздуху минус 35, .
Nine hours 56 minutes of fun.
I experienced my memories while traveling on the Russian Trans-Siberian train
Thanks to the creator and publisher of this content
This is wonderful.
Can't get enough of it.
Very relaxing. I took
a short nap.
Thank you.
How could you fall asleep? You were driving the train !!!
I've always dreamed of moving to Norway. Thanks to Dan I can pretend I already live there.
me too, thats my dream and fantasy.....
When the train went _vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv_ *clank* _vvvvv_ *clank* _vvvvvvvvvv_
I really felt that
same
Same bro
This is just drop dead beautiful to watch. I watch the places I cannot be. Thank you for these relaxing videos
Devon sent me here 😊
I don’t know what’s satisfying about this video, is it the different types of locations and scenery
Fantastic. I really must find the time to ride on this train.
The Norwegians have mastered the art of ice training and true TV. Despite having been to over 30 countries I could never afford Scandinavia but have always wanted to go there one day perhaps. Being more used to very hot countries this to me is geo shocker! Breathtaking views. Phenomenal style. Bravissimo
Frankly: What a Beautiful Country & a Beautiful Ride!...
I did this train ride in reverse Bodø to Trondheim with my father in the late 70’s in summer. The first of several long beautiful relaxing train rides I was to take in Norway. The trains back then were better for viewing. The seats weren’t as high and were spaced more widely apart with bigger windows. Heaven. Nostalgic and relaxing to see these videos on demand. Also recommend Nomadic Ambience’s drive from Geiranger. Have done that trip as well one summer in the early 80s. Stunning part of Norway.
Thank you Devin Townsend!!
That was truly an incredible interview. Showing the love for Hevy Devy.
hahhaahhha what are the odds
Have a great practice routine,Devin
I never knew about this concept but maybe because I watch a lot of rain and lofi stuff yt decided to put this in my recommendation, and for that I want to say big thanks to yt. This is amazing , I literally completed my 3 hours continuous study session because of this. I don’t know how but this helped me concentrate a lot. Thanks for who ever came up with this idea. ♥️
This is a great ride. I love to see what looks like small towns that the train goes through and the houses on either side of the tracks. My first job after school required me to ride a New Haven RR train into Grand Central station. I hated the job but loved the ride home on the train back home after a lousy day at the office. Thanks for the video.
I wanted to live in this place, wake up on a Saturday morning and ride a train listening to The Paper Kites 🎶😌☕❤️
Unedited, unfiltered clips like this seems to be better story telling than the over-edited crap we see on tv or youtube sometimes. I once watched a clip of the show river monsters that was like 40 mins unedited from casting to landing the fish with the camera put on a tripod on the river bank. And that was the best clip of the show i’ve seen so far after so many years of watching full episodes. Storytelling is more riveting if we got to see what an activity really looks like even if its just a man waiting for eternity to get a bite.
Listen, if you're not already familiar with these Norwegian train driver views don't watch this and then whine about it in the damn comments. We watch these because we like them just the way they are. ok? There are many ten hour videos on RUclips. Not to your taste? Fine, then please go look at something you like, but do it quietly. We like calm and quiet around here.
It's ironic that you should say that...
@@Danny-oi8yl The irony is totally in your mind. I suppose that was meant to be a withering retort of some kind? Totally unwithered here, son. Better luck next time.
No, I'll leave that "Withering" reparte' to you. My post was written in "sarcasm" since you're engaging in the very behavior that you're complaining about.
Lol
@@Danny-oi8yl 🔥👏
Man the snowpiercer prequel looks lit
Anybody here because of Devin Townsend?
?
Yep
Terria, Infinity, Ocean Machine and City carried me through high school, so if I am anywhere it's because of him
Absoflogginglutely! 🍻🤣👏👏
With my coffee and a looper
I feel like I'm on a train on a snowy day... It's healing thanks to slow TV...
The best part was when it went forward
which bit
@@whatshisname3304 bruh
@@whatshisname3304 I think Erick Garcia is referring to the bit when the train is on the tracks
i just realized that i hated that part, for a moment then i liked it again. and that repeated 50 times at varying intervals through the whole film.
I liked whenever i saw people driving working going about their business, people i might never meet or acknowledge their existance which just as complex as mine. Also watching the cold weather but being cozy warm at home... Nice relaxing feeling
my daughter (3 years old) love this vid, she prob seen it atleast 10 times now over xmas... so thank you!
I love to travel by train, and this ride would be fantastic!
It gets really exciting at around the 4h28 mark when the train races a lorry
Gorgeous! I loved this. I told my wife, "We're moving to Norway!" Well, I guess that's unlikely, but I will be watching the summer version later!
Now that's the way to run a rail service. Here in the UK that much snow would ground the rail service to a complete standstill.
It is interesting to observe how there are less and less trees on the way, till it becomes a snow desert with some bushes. Great video, great trip!
wouldn't want to live in those parts of the world during winter but experiencing them by train would be very enchanting i think. I liked model trains when I was a kid and I always loved the winter scenes... the little villages and depots dotting the snow covered landscape
why wouldn't you like to live there during the winter?
@@EnjoyFirefighting I lived many years in the great lakes area of the U.S. and since I'm not into winter sports I felt shut in for several months of the year. Even more than that, the many many cloudy days affected my mood and energy levels negatively. This happens to a lot of people I believe. I think this is linked to vitamin D levels. Lastly I did not like the dampness throughout the year (including humidity in the summer). I live in a desert climate now and while the summers are hot there is plenty of sunshine and dry weather and I feel better overall for it.
@@calldwnthesky6495 as a comparison: Bodø, the northernmost point of this route, is only 50 miles north of the polar circle and, looking west, as high up in the north as the southern top of Prince Charles Island in Canada, which is roughly 1,800 miles north of Toronto. Yes it does get dark in the winter and as it's north of the polar circle remains dark without sunlight for a short period of time, however it's not nearly as cold as you probably expect. I lived some time 140 miles further up north, ... yes it gets gold, but not much below freezing temperature, can hardly get colder than -5°C / 23°F. Also, being right at the coastline the air wasn't very damp, in fact Norway has pretty dry air during the winter which is also a brush fire risk there (in fact not summer heat). Yes the mood can be affected by the darkness, however when you go there e.g. in autumn where they have plain "normal" day and night time, you hardly feel the daily change to no sunlight at all. And, as energy is produced all-green, Norwegians often let the light burn in the living room, kitchen etc during the night or when they're out of the house, so it doesn't feel cold and dark, even when you're out on the streets in the late evening hours.
As dark as it gets in the winter, the sun stays up all day and night during the summer and you can literally have sun 24-7
But it's nice to hear that you found yourself a place where you feel much better now!
I live in Germany in central Europe; That'S about as far north as the American-Canadian border; While we get up to 105°F in the summer, we might as well get -13°F in the winter
@@EnjoyFirefighting if i had lived in the area you described, who knows, maybe i would've stayed... but i am here now, and too old to experiment with someplace new. i'm much better adjusted to the desert than i ever was to the great lakes climate and for this life, i think that'll do. thank you for your reply, i am certainly better informed
I love slow tv videos like this. The snowy landscape is beautiful.
I find these train views hypnotic and calming. I love there there is no commentary or human interference other than what's "out there". I get quite drawn in to the view and the rhythm. One thing I do get though, as an avid driver, I am used to looking out for idiots on the road, that I keep expecting something hurtling round a blind corner we will have to avoid. Yes its illogical but its an instinct that's kept me alive! I can live with it. I recently watched The Gan, an Australian train that goes from south to North and back (only 3 hrs). It was great. No corners! This is much more interesting, though both have a soporific relaxing effect.
I didn't know I wanted this in my life.
This is great, with very nice scenery! If you go across America in a train you get hypnotized by straight lines and corn fields.
But not if you take the southern route through the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to California.
This has got to be the most amazing video I have ever watched! Winter version is the very best, I checked the other three and this one clearly stands out as the most impressive and the most relaxing ! I only wish they had kept the real-time sound and the real-time movement when the train reached its stations and stopped.
i use this video to help me pay attention to audio books, having something moving to focus on is really pleasant, idk what i would do without this video. thank you
Over 2 million people have taken this ride since it was posted 7 years ago
Well, they've watched at least 10 seconds of it..
Me to myself: Nooooo! You can't just stay up until 3am watching random RUclips videos!!!
Also me at 3am: Haha Norwegian train go brrrrrrr
Classic.
Even Passengers on board can't afford to keep watching out side for 9 hours.
So after sometime I fixed laptop screen in front of Budhha Idol.
He watched rest of vedeo, believe me,when I came back,he was smiling☺️☺️
Hilarious and original...... -.-
@@pradeepsaral6944 Best comment ever.
Another “Devin Townsend brought me here” shoutout.
Now we need a version of this video set to one of his epic loops. Sigur Ros did it with “Route One.” Now we need a Devin version set to this video. Make it happen, Heavy Devy.
My favourite part has to be between 7:45:00 and 7:57:00 (approximately), where you just guess the evidence of the Arctic circle by the sudden lack of vegetation
Totally agree it's the best part.
But the lack of vegetation is due to the train is crossing the mountain plateau of Saltfjellet ( around 670 meter altitude ) .....not that it's crossing the Arctic Circle .....which ....by the way...... the train cross at 7:49 minus a few seconds.
5:20:00 wow such a beautiful view. Blue skies white grounds and sharp green trees as well as 7:58:00
Sitting in a recliner with a broken ankle watching. This type of video is great for that. Once I took a train in Sweden in December from Malmo to Stockholm. Reminds me of that a little, but the weather is a little worse, and there is less snow, it looks much warmer, in this video.
Relaxing and get to see some Norwegian countryside, beautiful.
The track actually ends right in front of a large building. I guess they make good brakes in Norway!
That's pretty common for terminus stations in Scandinavia...
They were not sure about the brakes.....That's why the large building. :)
🤣👍
Not every time brakes workes :D
I really love this! It's amazing to listen to when I'm studying.
Also I like to see those people waiting on the platform before the train arrive at the station.
Thx for posting this amazing video!!
Who else is here after watching Rick Beato's interview with Devin Townsend?
Cool to think that I’ve watched this before, and then I hear him talk about watching it to help him write music! Makes me come back and want to try to do it as well
@@SterlingSimmons22 I could completely relate to what he was saying and immediately came here
Team Hevy Devy...
Yep lol
This is perfect for video and audio ambience. Thanks for putting this up.
I was snoozing within the first 10 minutes from the drone of the motor. It's a good thing I can rewind to watch what I missed! 😳
me too, and i had a train to drive.
try listening to "towards aldebaran" by aurora
Yep I can’t stay awake watching these videos.
Which season do you prefer and what are the best parts of it? Let us know with time stamps!
What are time stamps?
@@stepheng9607 When you write the hours minutes and seconds of a video with commas between. For example, I like the tunnel at 5:09:36 < and you can click on that, that's a timestamp.
Thank you for this extraordinary journey.
Snow, more snow in the next video!
I loved it at 5:36:31
Donde circula el tren? Country?
Followed the whole journey from Trondheim to Bodo on Google Earth. Where I live we don't get snow, and our winters are very mild (20C/68F). (Our summers are very hot though). This was a fascinating insight into how people live with snow and cold. Quite amazing. I almost wish we had 4 seasons here. Thanks for posting.
On the American continent Canada would be quit similar I suppose. I hear often from people from the south that they like the experience of the seasons when living. If I could I would spend the winter in the most south part of Europe where the days are not so short and the temperatures are also around 20C/68F in the winter. In the alps however it is great in the winter. The temperatures feel much milder then they are on high attitude, and the atmosphere of wintersport, Jodelmusic, and "Gluhwein" is fantastic.
That's all well and good until there are 3 feet of snow covering your car in the morning and you have to drive to work with zero visibility. Also, 20C is a nice summer here in Canada. Winter gets to -40 for a few weeks and then it doesn't matter if you use Celsius or Freedomhieght because they are the same at that point. xD @@ronnie9187
@@ronnie9187 Canada is colder than most of Norway, with a few exceptions inland and in the far north. Norway gets heat along most of the coast (but especially south) from the Gulf stream, which they don't get as much even as far south as around N.Y. (or at least slightly north of N.Y.) on the US/Canada side. I'm in Oslo now and it's still rainy and mild, no snow, it's november 14th.
Its amazing, some of it could be the north of England where I live, and then you see something so foreign it could never be England. Great videos. I put them on at bedtime. Its a joy to see the journey isn’t over when I wake up. Thanks for these great videos. 😊
This is amazing! I love this video. I am so interested geography, love observing the land and cities but I don't really have the inclination to travel far these days. This is great for me.
Wonderful ! Haven't travelled by train since I was in my early teens and dad worked for the railway company...
I've been on the first part of this journey (Trondheim to Levanger). To some it's gloomy, to me it's paradise.
A beautiful railway to ride on especially in winter where it's magical. Would love to go to Norway one day and see it's amazing scenery.
Devin Townsend, is this your favorite train video? ;)
I swear this series is going to help me make it through the pandemic travel restrictions! Thank you so much!!!
The changes in geography and meteorology are amazing to watch. Throughout the video I wondered why humans settled in those locations or why someone would build a house next to a rail.
my great aunt lives in an estate right across a train station. It means everytime she tries to pour tea, she has to make sure there isnt any trains nearby, or she'll end up spilling, but it also means she can go visit family, and vice versa, easily, due to having modern trains running practically from her front door. As far as she's concerned, and the rest of the family too, the upsides severely outweigh any downsides.
In 5 days i've watched all video. It was like travelling just close to driver. In Mo I Rana i "made a stop" and watched a video about that city, with a drone. I tryied also "to stop" in Røkland, but it is a small village and on You Tube i've found only a video with school children dancing a norwegian modern song. Now i'm going "to visit" Bodo, as last city of journey. I heard about this city in 1981 more or less, when Bodo Glimt football team faced Inter Milan in a european cup. I still remember. It's been an unexpected experience, i love trains and Norway is a wonderful country. Thanks to You and to the man who put the names of stations where train stopped, very helpful. Greetings from Rome Italy.
Bodø has grown quite a lot the last few years, for Northern Norway that is. It has around 52 500 people now, second largest town in Northern Norway after Tromsø.
Devin brought me here. If you know, you know.
Love this. Reminds me of driving from South shore Lake Tahoe (my home of 30 years) to Squaw Valley USA for a fabulous day of skiing.
Devin Townsend brought me here ! Devin if you see this
im from turkey and i always dreamed of living in norway.far away from religions,wars and conflicts but very close to beauties of nature.such a wonderful country.
Devin Townsend and Rick Beato brought me here.
So long I haven't been in a nice long, snowy train ride.. Man do I miss those.
Thanks so much for this, it's like finding part of my childhood. :)
If the UK was this snowy trains wouldn't even run, let alone for almost 10 hours!
MattJohno2
They don’t run too well in the summer either!
matt im british and had a weird experience when i lived in scandinavia, i got a train every morning during rush hour in deep winter, snow, hard winds, daily, sometimes -14, not once was my train late, i loved my journeys every day, :)
british are afraid of snow. I worked in a shop center in Uk and they shut down the center when it s snowing. Whyyy?😂in my country we go to school and work even it s a snow storm😂
Yeah, I've had Merseyrail call off a train before because it was "too wet" after an hours rain..
If the UK was this snowy trains wouldn't even run, let alone for almost 10 hours!
Lucky you; here in the US, if the trains run at all, it is a miracle. Our passenger rail system is horrible.
I remember this video! It was one of the very first really long full HD videos you could download. I downloaded it straight from the Norwegian site in 2010 or so and it's still sitting in my NAS at home. It weighs in at about 22 GB, which for the time meant a download of several hours.
