Sorry about the slightly out of focus images in the first tunnels, it is rectified with a refocus later in the film. This time we're riding the South Line in Norway. Combine this trip with the latest News Letter, Monthly moo #21, and you'll be able to work out the Track side speed signalling! I'm so glad I managed to finish this video for the weekend, despite the recent events in the Bergen Line. Enjoy!
Hurrah! A wonderful new video from RCG shot on a brilliant day with the light behind and the images crystal clear. Hours of great distraction to look forward to! Thank you so much.
This should beat any F1 races post 1997 when they started attacking the mechanical grip, forcing the teams to focus on aerodynamic grip. And when they banned refuelling and came up with DRS......to me it turned into a cheap arcade game, like a nerfed version of Wipe Out.
@@RailCowGirl i dont really agree with this statement. The cars today rely on mechanical grip. Especially this era of cars. DRS is necessary cause cars became faster, better in braking and there is absolutely no way to overtake if there isnt a drs. Alot of racing series today have some sort of push to pass button, due to the technological marvels by the F1 teams. The only thing i hate is that the cars are so big today, sitting at 5,5 meters long
I love it when you name the towns and villages. It gives me the opportunity to pause the video. And research the towns, villages and surrounding areas. The area of this route takes you from the age of Vikings up to today.
3:21 Strai 4:27 On the right hand side you can see where Setesdalsbanen used to go 4:44 Augland. Setesdalsbanen used to run where the road is 4:52 The black patch on the mountain is Setesdalsbanen's tunnel Mosby I 5:20 The big house on the hill to the left is where I used to live in the 1970s and 1980s 5:22 Setesdalsbanen used to enter from the right, just before the bridge. To the left the old school used to be. It was closed before the Southline was build. 5:27 Mosby (by Paul Due) The station was built in 1895 for Setesdalsbanen 6:05 Setesdalsbanen continued to the right on the tractor path 6:53 Setesdalsbanen's Kvarstein Tunnel can be seen to the right 8:21 To the left Abel Tunnel (Setesdalsbanen) 9:22 Vennesla (by Paul Due) Another station build in 1895 for Setesdalsbanen 9:42 Setesdalsbanen went to the left 10:09 And followed the road around the mountain here 12:55 Grovane (by Paul Due, in 1895) The station building is used by Setesdalsbanen heritage line
For those interested in geology; this railroad follows both minor and major geological depressions in the landscape. This was done to limit the number of tunnels nessecary, thus making it cheaper to build. This also means that the tracks run mostly along lower parts of the landscape, and is one of the reasons for all the countless lakes and rivers you see along the line.
Wonderful video, the scenery, clarity and brightness, sadly it's missing the most important....you RCG..would have been a great premiere video like the good old times. Thanks for sharing all your hard work, specially in the editing.
This was an absolutely brilliant video! I am both a train enthusiast and a railway worker here in the USA, and as such I was absolutely fascinated to watch every single minute of this video. The scenery was spectacular, but the engineering of the right-of-way especaily all those tunnels took my breath away. Norway is obviously filled with great scenery, but it is also filled with superb railway operating and engineering personnel, and you video did them very proud. Thank you for a very entertaining and educational 4 hours. Very well done.
Hello from Kristiansand! Finally some cabviews on this part of the Norwegian rail network. Not many holes to fill after this, could we expect the western part soon? Anyways, excited to see this, thanks and take care!
Congrats on this great comeback video! A new line, a new landscape, a new locomotive (awesome big BR 159 Eurodual!) and fewer tunnels, but more fancy steel bridges! I am very grateful that despite your workload you still find time to edit these amazing videos! 👍👍👍
great vid! You know when you dont put on the wiper and there is a drop going down the screen i sometimes catch myself trying to wipe my comp screen. Thats to say that the video is so realistic and quite involving that a viewer can get lost in it. Thank you.
Watching this once more, I’m up to 3h30m. The South Line has a sense, feel, or atmosphere of suburban communities where I live, 15 mi ( 25 km) from Seattle, US. A rather odd feeling for me. Perhaps I am seeing what I want to see rather than what reality is. Different from the Bergen-Oslo area. Movie is enjoyable to watch again
This line is really different from the Bergen Line. The Bergen Line is a ver y mountainous line and it climbs from sea level to 1232m above sea level. The South Line has much more forest and goes through a different kind of land scape, not very unlike the Seattle area :D
Thank you very much for this new video! I have a question, though: is anyone else experiencing blurry images in the vertical center of the screen? To me, the video's sides are stable and clean, but the track looks like it's filmed with a camera which is shaking quite significantly. Is there any setting change I could make?
There are some micro vibrations, yes. but that is because of the loco. The placement of the camera on these locos aren't ideal, and there are noe solutions out there that alleviate this. I need a totally custom solution to get this perfect... and I'm not exactly a engineer for camera stabilisation equipment that is small and compact ;) The micro vibrations comes and goes... because of the loco. In body stabilisation is active in the camera, but the vibrations are to high frequent for it to handle
@@RailCowGirl Thank you for your answer, now I understand! The video itself is great but it's too bad that there are no competent 3-axis gimbal stabilizers you could use in this situation. Perhaps you could customize one (the anchoring point, some rubber to reduce vibrations, and so on) for your needs?
Thank you for the beautiful video. The light is incredible. You were very lucky when you were shooting the video. Al those pine trees just look big bonsai trees on the rocks.
Even though it seems kind of monotonous, I can promise you that it is not the case. We don't have any kind of automation on the locomotives, so we need to be all in all the time. The South Line is a very technical line to get to know, and making sure you're uilizing the topography to the max is challenging :)
Hi, RCG - Glad to see you're "On The Road Again" !! After reading all the comments to date, it appears that I'm the only one who noticed the man standing on the right side and waving, at 57:16? 😀
Finally!! a new route, and what a sight! beautiful scenery, lots of bridges, tunnels. I enjoyed this ride very much, RCG. Thank you for sharing. It was the wait worth wile. Look forward to the next one (Dovrebanen??) Will watch it again!!
So good to have you back... it's been too long. Great to see a different region of your country, and in daylight ;) Have you done this route before ?? Cheers.
Beautiful job! Have really missed exploring new territory with you--lots of new stations and cities to learn, too. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos too--the clarity is really wonderful. Hoping to share many joyful kilometers with you in the future. (PS, whether in the cab or on the bike--you do a great job with motorcycle video as well.)
After a while you forget your in norway and it feels like parts of the U.S with topography. That is until you get to a town and cannot pronounce the name to save your life.
Great video RCG! Great to see Norway without her snowy winter coat. Very relaxing ride through the Countryside with abundant lakes and rivers. Loved your comment regarding ‘Voss Water.’ You continue to provide top grade videos, looking forward to many more. Take care… from a very early morning viewing in California USA!
This route has such beautiful scenery, and not even much fencing for the first two hours. And then at 3:15:02 you are shocked back into civilization thanks to the graffiti. I so enjoyed this trip RCG. Thank you.
Stunning video. Some (many) time ago I had the privilege to ride the Bergen’s Line, night train to Bergen, and daytime train back to Oslo. In those days the night train conveyed a sleeper dawn to Flam and, surprise, connecting to a ferry to Sognefjord. Unforgettable.
AWESOME. Thank You. Watch from start to end - non stop - next weekend in front of a BIG A... SCREEN! With beer snacks and enjoy the scenic natur! 😊🥰☺❤👍🍺🍕
Hei RCG, Jeg så de siste videoene dine i går og i dag. Veldig fine landskapsbilder. Flotte bilder, veldig imponerende. Takk for innsatsen, også for informasjonen langs rutene. Jeg vil alltid rengjøre skjermen min, men det er skitt på lokomotivvinduene ;-)
Haha, tusen takk ❤️❤️❤️ Ja, det er dessverre ikke alltid vinduene er rene nok for filming 😆 Tusen takk for at du ser på, kommenterer og for superchat ❤️❤️❤️
I strive for excellence and want to bring the most crisp and high quality video for my viewers, You! ❤️ Everything I record is in 4K done with a Sony FX3 cinema line camera :D
I enjoy your videos immensely. I visit friends in Norway annually at their farm at Nykirke. Your videos represent the Norwegian sensibility well. Best wishes from Oregon.
Another interesting and enjoyable video. You've got making videos down to a science. Thanks for sharing your work with us. My snarky sense of humor would like to know if Bø is a ghost town (Ha ha). Thanks again for a new video.
Oh my God!! I dont believe you are driving the Eurodual! The best looking loco on the OnRail livery. Thanks for another super video! What is like to drive the Eurodual?! :;
Like in all other of my freight videos you'll see some microvibrations due to the design of the cab. I'm constantly trying to work out a better solution that'll get that removed... But I can't bring along a gimbal as it takes time to balance, and takes way too much space.
It took me way, WAAY too long to realise that the train was not going uphill but it was just the camera angle... 🫢🥵 I am not a bright man... I am impressed how clean and tidy your tracksides are compared to the UK 🤩
Soundtrack for this journey was I Robot and Eye in the Sky by Alan Parson's Project, more Klaus Schulz, some BBC radio comedies, and Lo-Fi Oldies music with Rain Sounds. It was a lovely trip and took me about six days to do. 😊
HI, I thoroughly enjoyed that train journey. so interesting to see a different piece of Norway's country side. Thank you so much. Take care and God bless. Geoffers
So happy to see this new video. It is beautiful and so well done. Are you from Norway originally? Because of your videos my desire to visit Norway went from zero to a must see! I hope you will continue to share your rails with us.
What a lovely surprise to see you again RCG. You most certainly have been missed. Thank you for taking us along on this most stunning scenic trip. Looking forward to many more new adventures.
This reminds me a lot of the trip from Winnipeg to Toronto on Via Rail. Rock, trees and water until an hour north of Toronto at least. Mind you it is a 37 hour trip, 1921km. Freight traffic takes precedence over passenger due to train length. Passenger train length is 650 m but a freight can be up to 4200m long.
After watching your great videos on the Bergen-Oslo lines, I was ready for something new, and this is it. Thanks. Now I'm looking forward to a trip to Trondheim and points north.
Thank you for this trip showing us that there are also beautiful landscapes in southern Norway. Congratulations on the editing that must have lasted a very very long time
Olá, sou do Brasil. Lindo passeio de trem. Uma sugestão, você precisa de um estabilizador para a câmera, pois a vibração do trem causa uma imagem trêmula, e só observar no trilho e nos postes, a imagem em 4K tem que ser suave. Um estabilizador melhora. Obrigado.
Do you know why the ÅSSA Gate drives at the Railroad Crossing before Vennesla Station have these weird blankets on them? They are even visible on Google Earth
I have been eagerly anticipating your return to making cab view videos and was thrilled to see this video up a few days ago. Beautiful views, astounding scenery and first class production values. One question - the EuroDual is a very powerful and versatile locomotive and I 'm wondering if driving it has a very different vibe from driving the Traxx locos or if it is similar? Thank you!
hi rail cow girl , hope you are well and feeling good, can you tell me the H.P. of the locomotive you are running in this video and is that the largest one you have. thank you sweet lady.
Sorry about the slightly out of focus images in the first tunnels, it is rectified with a refocus later in the film.
This time we're riding the South Line in Norway.
Combine this trip with the latest News Letter, Monthly moo #21, and you'll be able to work out the Track side speed signalling!
I'm so glad I managed to finish this video for the weekend, despite the recent events in the Bergen Line.
Enjoy!
hello, we will be entitled to one video per season for this line? It's wonderful to be able to compare the colors 🥰
@RailCowGirl >>> Regarding the focus:
*_"Crap Occurs. Doo-Doo Transpires._*

What happened on the Bergen Line?
@@bojens865 Wrote about that in the newsletter. You should subscribe ;)

What a glorious day for a ride along into new territories. Sensational video as usual RCG. Thank you for taking me along
Words cannot describe the joy i feel today RCG! Suddenly the world became a little bit more normal! Best wishes for the future!
Thank you, glad you like it :D
So great to see our Hero back in action. New route, new loco, fantastic!
Not a new loco, just different livery. We operated the EuroDual in GreenCargo as well.
@@RailCowGirl but such a cool livery. Just your style!
God was having a good day when He created Norway. Thank you for the beautiful video. Safe travels.
Thanks for watching :)

Superb, just superb. Thank you so much for this new view of Norway!!! Love the chaptering. It allows easily following the trip on the rail map.
Hope we get to see this line again when everything is bright green and coming back to life after the winter.
Thanks
I hope so too :D
Nice to see a film from Sørlandsbanen, I hope you also make the trip to Orstad sometime, then I'll be ready at Sira :) Good luck with OnRail
Whoop whoop! I'm hoping for the same thing :D And I will for sure be saying Hello :D
This is the best deal since PLUTO TV removed the SLOW TV channel...
Great to see a new video from RCG. Nice job. Please keep them coming.
Hallo, nabo! Watching from Bohuslän across the sea 🌊
Everything is very different here from where I live in Missouri USA.

Thank you RailCowGirl for the cabride in a new location :)
Did I see correctly, the wires are on wooden pillars on some parts of the track?
Yes, you saw correctly :)

Hi, as usual very interesting ride and video. Well done! Am I noticing some unusual vibrations? Are they a charateristic of the Stadler EuroDuals?
Like in all other of my freight videos you'll see some microvibrations due to the design of the cab. I'm constantly trying to work out a better solution that'll get that removed... But I can't bring along a gimbal as it takes time to balance, and takes way too much space.

Oh we did go up hill.. we went up lots of hills.
Great video quit a large group got to enjoy it

Så bra at du har begynt å filme fra min barndoms bane. Håper det kommer noe fra strekningen vest for Kristiansand.

Yaaay! Thank youd :D
Vibrations make the video blurry much of the time. Perhaps avoid the EuroDual for video?
Thank you for this trip showing us that there are also beautiful landscapes in southern Norway. Congratulations on the editing that must have lasted a very very long time

Of the 4221km of railway in Norway, only 229km is double tracked, 2470km is electrified.
@@RailCowGirl i had imaginated that with all the Mountains and tunnels that norway has

I have been eagerly anticipating your return to making cab view videos and was thrilled to see this video up a few days ago. Beautiful views, astounding scenery and first class production values. One question - the EuroDual is a very powerful and versatile locomotive and I 'm wondering if driving it has a very different vibe from driving the Traxx locos or if it is similar? Thank you!
I love your winter videos but this was beautiful. Thanks
I guess Neslandsvatn is a bit safer at daytime? I have only travelled from Kr-sand to Nordagutu once. Maybe do that again sometime soon.
Hey ya! Good evening from Russia❤❤❤
