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'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.
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 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 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 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......
@@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
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.
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.
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!
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 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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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. ♥️
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
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 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
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, .
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.
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. 😊
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!!
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.
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.
@@gerardo49078 haha im actually not. Its a student accommodation. I wont share the exact Andreas but look up Flatvold student home Bodø if you dont believe me
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.
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.
I so very much enjoy and value films such as this. So much so that we have been inspired to start a slow TV channel walking through the soulful heart of cities. Thank you so much I look forward to each film added here. Keep it up.
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.
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.
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.
This is a really enjoyable video, even if it doesn't play in perfect focus. I watched at double speed, not because I'm impatient, but just because it's fun to go that fast! Thanks for posting this. It's an interesting ride through beautiful country.
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.
Amazing trip, amazing landscape, amazing Norway. Too bad I´ve haven´t been there since 1982. -The snow desert after Dunderland at approx. 07:46:00 is totally wild, like something from another planet. Love it! Who live their lives in the two houses at 07:49:47)?? Talk about a special place to live..
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.
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
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.
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☺️☺️
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.

That’s funny, I wonder the same thing. I look for people wondering about.

my daughter (3 years old) love this vid, she prob seen it atleast 10 times now over xmas... so thank you!
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.
A thousand thanks for bringing to me the unattainable.
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
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!
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.....
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. ♥️
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
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!
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 🎶😌☕❤️
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
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, .
I don’t know what’s satisfying about this video, is it the different types of locations and scenery
Frankly: What a Beautiful Country & a Beautiful Ride!...
Have a great practice routine,Devin
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.
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. 😊
I love slow tv videos like this. The snowy landscape is beautiful.
I feel like I'm on a train on a snowy day... It's healing thanks to slow TV...
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!!
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.
I love to travel by train, and this ride would be fantastic!
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.
This is perfect for video and audio ambience. Thanks for putting this up.
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.
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.
9:51:27 lol i live in the yellow building top left... can actually see my window
Good for you! It must be a great place to live.
Holy fucking shit I live just like 20 minutes away. I know a couple of people who live in that building too.
Fucking hell that's awesome. How is life up there?
Liar
@@gerardo49078 haha im actually not. Its a student accommodation. I wont share the exact Andreas but look up Flatvold student home Bodø if you dont believe me
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. :)
Man the snowpiercer prequel looks lit
Majestic and beautiful!! Thanks from northern New York, USA.
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 🔥👏
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.
Devon sent me here 😊
GOOD MORNING DEVY!
Thank you Devin Townsend!!
That was truly an incredible interview. Showing the love for Hevy Devy.
hahhaahhha what are the odds
I swear this series is going to help me make it through the pandemic travel restrictions! Thank you so much!!!
Devin Townsend, is this your favorite train video? ;)
I so very much enjoy and value films such as this. So much so that we have been inspired to start a slow TV channel walking through the soulful heart of cities. Thank you so much I look forward to each film added here. Keep it up.
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
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.
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.
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.
This is a really enjoyable video, even if it doesn't play in perfect focus. I watched at double speed, not because I'm impatient, but just because it's fun to go that fast! Thanks for posting this. It's an interesting ride through beautiful country.
You could imagine that way a TGV in Norway LOL
@@ronnie9187 Maybe they would have to bank the curves more! Fun to ride a TGV there, though!
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.
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.
Relaxing and get to see some Norwegian countryside, beautiful.
Amazing trip, amazing landscape, amazing Norway. Too bad I´ve haven´t been there since 1982. -The snow desert after Dunderland at approx. 07:46:00 is totally wild, like something from another planet. Love it! Who live their lives in the two houses at 07:49:47)?? Talk about a special place to live..
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.
You already know shiey on the back of this
Ha great lol
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 didn't know I wanted this in my life.
Wonderful ! Haven't travelled by train since I was in my early teens and dad worked for the railway company...
5:20:00 wow such a beautiful view. Blue skies white grounds and sharp green trees as well as 7:58:00
Thank you for sharing this thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing video. God bless you.
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.
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.
It gets really exciting at around the 4h28 mark when the train races a lorry
The more you ride more snow you get. Wonderful, thanx. Watch in 2x.
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.
I love Norway. This makes me very happy. Thank you.
I've been on the first part of this journey (Trondheim to Levanger). To some it's gloomy, to me it's paradise.
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.
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..
