Thank you ❤️ So glad you liked it 😃 I must admit, it's one of the freaking best views up there during the winter. Untouched snow.. in some special lighting conditions it looks like you're on another planet. :D
Thank you!!! We are viewing this from the USA, southern Indiana. It’s cold here and we got a couple of inches of snow last night. My friends and I were having a drink and complaining about the snowy mess outside. This post gives us a whole different perspective. Thank you!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Haha! Brilliant :D I know people in Indiana :D If you want to see some really crazy conditions you should check this video out: ruclips.net/video/MLJQKaoPHGs/видео.html Invite your friends over for another cold one and watch the madness :D
@@RailCowGirl Thank you, that certainly is the goal! Happened a week before Christmas, and I was resting and "riding the trains in the snow" quite a bit over the holidays! Thanks again for the channel. Take care!
Thanks for all the trips across Norway. Both my wife and I can trace half our ancestors to Norway. For me it’s my great grandparents and my wife her grandparents. I use your rail journeys while on our exercise equipment. I alternate between train rides in Norway to auto trips across the U.S. It beats watching someone on the screen telling me to pedal faster and the scenery is much nicer!
My fiance thinks I'm weird but I've been hooked on your videos. They bring such a calmness and happiness, I also love that you insert interesting information here and there. Thank you!
Thanks for the pleasure: it is so nice to watch again the familiar route even with the trip from 2019_ this time with the double replay speed - makes the journey even more impressive!
@@RailCowGirl I did and it works fine, very seldom the picture "stalls" because of the internet speed limitation, I guess. I watch it in Vienna, Austria, the provider company "A1" claims it is all glass fibre wired network.
thank you. i find these video so lethargic in a world of chaos. i did not expect this revelation about myself. thanks for content. all the best for 2021
@@RailCowGirl i have followed your channel for a few years. it randomly came up when i was searching for music live streams and i thought it seemed interesting as i love snow and have never experienced train travel during snow. i gave it a chance and actually really enjoyed watching. i usually catch you late at UK timezone night for live streams. i have a peculiar sleep pattern. however, a person out there documenting a daily aspect of their life helping the world spin is really great. without your panache to decide that maybe you should show what life is like in this area of what the world has to offer in transport, people may have never even spared a thought. thanks so much
Thank you so much for the simple pleasures you brought to my mother-in-law Evelyn who was 96 ¾ years old. She passed away quietly in our home in her own bed. She lived with us these past 11 years. Evelyn was simply fascinated by what lies around the next curve. Her hearing was bad, do she just enjoyed your stunning visuals. Bless you for providing such fine entertainment to a bedridden kindly Godly woman. She would have liked to have met you. She loved people. Kitt & Cindy.
I am so sorry for your loss! But I'm glad to hear that she found joy in my videos, thank you for sharing that! I wish you all the best in these times of grief and sorrow, and may she rest in peace! ❤️
@@RailCowGirl Thank you. Evelyn is probably watching you from above. She was a Born Again Christian. You should have seen the look of wonderful amazement on her face as she watched. Anyway, keep on Driving, you are providing pleasures to people in ways you do not know.
I love your videos, so relaxing to watch and I get to see a country I will never get a chance to visit. I really like the ones with bad winter weather :)
@@martyvanduzer9263 No, I've seen foxes, birds or other small rodents in just inside after the opening, but not people or larger prey. Why would anyone walk into a tunnel? Everyone knows it is the last thing you do.
Would like to say thank you for the ride. You have such a beautiful Country especially in the winter. Such a tranquil and peaceful feeling one can get from this ride. You RCG are lucky for this. And as always your ❄❄ and 🚄🚋 rides are very comforting to watch. And be safe and stay safe ok. From mid Georgia USA
Beautiful winter day for a train ride --- or a sleigh ride, if you have only a couple of horses. Nice to see part of your fan club (23:47) cheering you on!
Unless your hit by an avalanche... that was kind of a bad day, but it was a good day anyhow. LOL. No one was hurt :) just severely delayed since we had to dig out the train. :p
@@RailCowGirl No way ! well yea if nobody was hurt then its all good ehh? Sure beats having to work in an office with people you dont really like though hahahaha. I was a class 1 HGV driver & loved the solitude of the job it gives you time to think about things.
2:12:16 1 Oct 23: Have now watched most of your cabview offerings and this is my favorite. Love the clear-sky vistas crossing the mountain pass and the sound and shadow views of your plows hitting the drifts (Ustaostevto Geilo). Looking forward to riding along on your next published adventure. Will be a pax on Train 61 (?) Oslo to Bergen September 2024. Cheers from Minnesnowta 😊
I just found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I don't think I've put RUclips to better use than this before, watching trains always used to be the favourite childhood activity of mine and now hopping in the cabin with you and taking in the experience is so calming, It's the best stress buster plus it also helps putting me to sleep. Won't wonder if I find you at a million subs in about a year. Great job keep it up!
Are all the houses that we pass by inhabited all year round because some of them are so isolated I was thinking of a second home maybe? Having said that I love the glorious scenery and it's now a big part of my nightly viewing,
Thanks RailCowGirl. How do you pronounce the A with the small o over it? Question 2, I see these dwellings along the route but never anything from the chimneys that would lead me to believe they were heated and inhabited? Not necessarily smoke from organic materials. I couldn’t see windmills or solar panels to generate power for heat nor any waviness above chimney showing heat in the stacks? Question 3, those isolated dwellings out in the middle of nowhere, what do these people do for a living? We’d like to visit Norway sometime in the future if possible so your videos give us a view of the countryside. I’ll be switching to your warmer weather trips.
Å = same sound as you would say in the English word "all." The houses out in the middle in now where are mostly cabins. People use them all year, but some only in certain seasons. I believe most of them have electrical heating and a fireplace. They live in the cities or bigger towns and go to their rural/mountain cabins when they have their weekends off or for holidays.
Question: When crossing bridges there seems to be an extra set of rails inside the main rails. They begin and end at a point. Why are those there? Nice videos as always RCG!
Thank you. I never get tired of this journey. It's doesn't matter which season nor whether it's snowing or raining or the sun in shining, it's so beautiful. I do have a few questions, though: How long does a tunnel have to be before reflectors are put on the sides? Why doesn't the tunnel just before Myrdal have the reflectors? Again, thank you for these gorgeous journeys.
reflectors? If yo those are LED's :) The tunnel before Myrdal has those LEDS as well now. This video is a throwback from 2019, a video that I uploaded but never published until now... don't know why but here it is ... and you can see difference from back then and now. much has happened. One of them are of course lights in the the tunnel before Myrdal.
I love all your videos and never tire of watching them. One little point...you give the altitude of Hallingskeid as 4642 ft when I think you meant 3642 ft.
Small mistake at 1:04:30 it says 'The Finse tunnel is 10,3km (16,48 miles) long. That is incorrect, miles are longer than kilometers so it is probably the other way around. 1 mile is about 1,6 km. :)
Thank you for these great videos. I have a question. I see the trackside symbol that prompts you to blow the horn. My question is what is the reason for blowing the horn. I don’t always see a grade level crossing or anything that looks like it needs a warning. Thanks.
Fantastic cab ride! I wonder has anyone ever calulated how much of this route is tunnels or galleries - I bet it's a high percentage! Amazing how few trains you pass in the opposite direction. - are they one per hour or something at the time of year this was shot?
Another great video that I enjoyed thoroughly I'm just curious with all your expert editing and titling and everything else how long does it take you to do edit your video. I know sometimes I spend four to six hours on mine and they're not even close to yours.
Depending on the complexity of the video anything between 24 - 72 hours of editing. And between 9 - 13 hours of rendering time. About 45 minutes for upload and between 1 to 2 days before it reaches maximum quality on RUclips as well.
What are the lighted green signs in some of the tunnels? They seem to face the track, and not toward oncoming traffic. I think I see them in the Finse tunnel, though you are going so fast there they are hard to see. I know I saw them in some tunnels on the Flåm line.
Another amazing video. Thank you for letting me ride along. A couple questions. Those homes at the top of the mountain are they just summer homes as none look lived in. Also what do people do if they do live there. Just building this line is an engineering marvel. Have you ever been stranded in the winter on this line? Looks a bit scary in part as you are in the middle of nowhere. Loved the crew standing on the platform giving you a wave. Like others would love to visit one day as so beautiful and makes where I live look like a dead zone. I know you are camera shy but would love to put a face to the RailCowGirl handle as I feel I know you already as watching so many of your videos.
Those houses you see in the mountains, most of them are cabins. People use them all year, in the weekends and holidays. In smaller towns like Ustaoset and Geilo there are also permanent habitants.
Beautiful. Just magnificent! The views are just Wow! But I have a question. I see that most of the overhead-wire poles are wood? Can that be safe and strong for countless years? I have never seen other then concrete or steel poles for the overhead wires in western modern countries, and I've seen countless train videos around the world. Why wood?
The wooden poles are swapped to steel now when needed. But yes, they have been truly resilient and long lasting :) Probably a combination of luck and environment. They did try steel earlier but had som problems with the galvanisation(?) of the steel. Been lots of concrete as well but concrete is not a good solution in the longterm.
Amazing videos. Thank you. Just one question.I am planing to visit Norway this summer and would love to take the Oslo-Bergen line and saw that the price is just around 30eur. How can it be that cheap? Here in germany we would pay like 100+ for that route :)
If you order well in advance you can get really low fare prices, but the closer you get to departure the higher the price will be. You must also remember that the amount of people traveling on the line during the summer is much higher, which means that the low fares will sold fast. Make you sure you plan well ahead to get the best prices :)
LOVE your videos! I do have one question - here in the US the grade crossing horn warning lasts until the lead unit is over the crossing itself - your warnings seem to come quite a ways before the crossing itself. Why is that?
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😃 Regulations are different from country to country. Here we have dedicated signals telling us when to sound the horn and why. = General warning = Level Crossing = Halt/platform = Level Crossing and Halt at the same place Can be added to any of the above signals and means you don't need to sound the horn between 10pm and 6am :)
I was a little surprised to see that the mirrors stay out while running (e.g. around 08:50 when the sun was dead behind), as I had assumed they were for station safety.
They fold at 105km/h and I can fold dem manually if I wanted to. But mirrors are not just for station safety. It’s our responsibility to check the status of the carriages where possible. This means checking the mirrors in curves :)
@@RailCowGirl Thanks for that. I'd assumed that visual inspection would no longer be needed with modern trains, but I suppose the more checks there are, the better. I do recall being on a train back in the 1970's that was stopped at a signal because a door was swinging open (one of the slam-door 2-car DMUs prevalent on rural lines in the UK at that time), and the previous signal box had seen it (must have been the rear drivers cab otherwise surely the guard or passengers would have seen something amiss).
23:42 Hvem er gjengen i gul uniform på plattformen på venstre side som lager bølge til filmen? Who's the gang in yellow uniform on the platform to the left making a wave to this film? 1:04:28 Her står det at Finsetunnelen er 10,3 km lang, som tilsvarer 6,4 Miles; ikke 16. Here it says that the Finse tunnel is 10.3 kms long, which equals 6.4 Miles; not 16. 2:01:49 Er like innen forsinket møtende tog kommer tilsyne på vei mot Hol etter at vi har stått og ventet på det en stund.
Night sensitivity aside, the GoPro is perfect, and shooting at 60fps appreciable. However, it seems to me that I have watched this video, perhaps from a play list.
@@RailCowGirl Yes, of course, with the large sensor, in tunnels, in comparison with the GoPro "it's day and night", and it's especially the interest, also for your videos of twilight or midnight sun ...
I have to ask something out of curiosity: Why have the mini towers, that holds the train's power lines, on the outside of a curve? If you God forbid should derail you will wipe out the towers, as opposed to having them on the inside of a turn where you hopefully will miss them entirely.
A train can derail in both direction based on the counter force of what ever the reason for a derailment should be. The masts are on the outside because of how physics pulls the catenary towards the center of the curve.
All your "trips" are great and it's fun to ride along! Thanks for sharing! [Greetings from Tucson]
Thank you so much! :D
I really appreciate your videos. They bring me peace and joy. Please keep it up!
Thank you, I will!

What are the lighted green signs in some of the tunnels? They seem to face the track, and not toward oncoming traffic. I think I see them in the Finse tunnel, though you are going so fast there they are hard to see. I know I saw them in some tunnels on the Flåm line.
In the case of an evacuation you see pretty fast how far it is to the nearest exit/emergency room. That's what they are for :)
@@RailCowGirl Thanks.
Another amazing video. Thank you for letting me ride along. A couple questions. Those homes at the top of the mountain are they just summer homes as none look lived in. Also what do people do if they do live there. Just building this line is an engineering marvel. Have you ever been stranded in the winter on this line? Looks a bit scary in part as you are in the middle of nowhere. Loved the crew standing on the platform giving you a wave. Like others would love to visit one day as so beautiful and makes where I live look like a dead zone. I know you are camera shy but would love to put a face to the RailCowGirl handle as I feel I know you already as watching so many of your videos.
Those houses you see in the mountains, most of them are cabins. People use them all year, in the weekends and holidays. In smaller towns like Ustaoset and Geilo there are also permanent habitants.
I am reminded of the movie "Snowpiercer". LOL.
Hehehhe :D If I got dollar everytime I heard that ❤️LOL
Beautiful. Just magnificent! The views are just Wow!
But I have a question. I see that most of the overhead-wire poles are wood? Can that be safe and strong for countless years? I have never seen other then concrete or steel poles for the overhead wires in western modern countries, and I've seen countless train videos around the world. Why wood?
The wooden poles are swapped to steel now when needed. But yes, they have been truly resilient and long lasting :)
Probably a combination of luck and environment. They did try steel earlier but had som problems with the galvanisation(?) of the steel. Been lots of concrete as well but concrete is not a good solution in the longterm.
Thank you for your reply :)
Круче чем любой художественный Фильм !!!! и опять зима ! моя любимая !
Thank you so much, glad you liked it :)
wait... what did they do out there @23:47 ? 😍😍😍
The wave! They were hailing the most awesome driver on the Bergen Line's history... Me! LOL! ;) Or maybe it was the train... hmmm...
Awesome this video
Glad you enjoyed it
@@RailCowGirl Tnq
I hope you keep warm up there in the cab when it is so cold outside.
Thanks, I have heating inside :)
Great scenery love the channel
Awesome, thank you!
¡Bien!, buen video, pero ¿Y que costaba poner en pantalla el metraje de los túneles?
1:23:30 do you ever get seriously worried when you can't see the tracks?
Nope :)
Très beau voyage ♥️❤️
Vital en Belgique
Thank you :D
What irritates me, it says in the end, the station is 436m/2605ft AMSL, but 2600ft is approx. 780m...?
It’s supposed to be 1430ft, I looked one line up on the sheet sorry about that. Why does this irritate you?
@RailCowGirl Nice Video In The Snow.
Thank you!
@@RailCowGirl You're Welcome.
Amazing people @ 23:41 ! so cheerful!
😃😃😃
Amazing videos. Thank you. Just one question.I am planing to visit Norway this summer and would love to take the Oslo-Bergen line and saw that the price is just around 30eur. How can it be that cheap? Here in germany we would pay like 100+ for that route :)
If you order well in advance you can get really low fare prices, but the closer you get to departure the higher the price will be. You must also remember that the amount of people traveling on the line during the summer is much higher, which means that the low fares will sold fast. Make you sure you plan well ahead to get the best prices :)
Winter is a great time to travel!
It really is!
LOVE your videos! I do have one question - here in the US the grade crossing horn warning lasts until the lead unit is over the crossing itself - your warnings seem to come quite a ways before the crossing itself. Why is that?
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😃
Regulations are different from country to country. Here we have dedicated signals telling us when to sound the horn and why.
= General warning
= Level Crossing
= Halt/platform
= Level Crossing and Halt at the same place
Can be added to any of the above signals and means you don't need to sound the horn between 10pm and 6am :)
I was a little surprised to see that the mirrors stay out while running (e.g. around 08:50 when the sun was dead behind), as I had assumed they were for station safety.
They fold at 105km/h and I can fold dem manually if I wanted to. But mirrors are not just for station safety. It’s our responsibility to check the status of the carriages where possible. This means checking the mirrors in curves :)
@@RailCowGirl Thanks for that. I'd assumed that visual inspection would no longer be needed with modern trains, but I suppose the more checks there are, the better.
I do recall being on a train back in the 1970's that was stopped at a signal because a door was swinging open (one of the slam-door 2-car DMUs prevalent on rural lines in the UK at that time), and the previous signal box had seen it (must have been the rear drivers cab otherwise surely the guard or passengers would have seen something amiss).
You should do an additional no tunnel edit 😉👍
I might, thanks for the tip.
@rail Cowgirl - who were these people at 23:47 and why were they doing Mexican waves at passing trains in the middle of nowhere?
They are colleagues who were out on training, and they were greeting me when I passed :)
23:42
Hvem er gjengen i gul uniform på plattformen på venstre side som lager bølge til filmen?
Who's the gang in yellow uniform on the platform to the left making a wave to this film?

Her står det at Finsetunnelen er 10,3 km lang, som tilsvarer 6,4 Miles; ikke 16.
Here it says that the Finse tunnel is 10.3 kms long, which equals 6.4 Miles; not 16.
2:01:49 Er like innen forsinket møtende tog kommer tilsyne på vei mot Hol etter at vi har stått og ventet på det en stund.
kalkulasjonsfeil fra min side. Det var en gjeng aspiranter på strekningsbefaring.
Night sensitivity aside, the GoPro is perfect, and shooting at 60fps appreciable. However, it seems to me that I have watched this video, perhaps from a play list.
You should see the newer videos with a camera setup that makes the tunnel look so much brighter and better :)
You've probably seen this video in the stream :) For some weird reason, I never posted this video as an independent upload :)
@@RailCowGirl Yes, of course, with the large sensor, in tunnels, in comparison with the GoPro "it's day and night", and it's especially the interest, also for your videos of twilight or midnight sun ...
It's a bit of a shame that the Black Magic doesn't do 60fps in Europe!
Thanks for posting this RCG. This is the video I was asking about. Why are all those people doing the human wave at 23:47 outside the station?
Because I'm famous! Lol, only joking. They were very happy to see the train 😁
I have to ask something out of curiosity: Why have the mini towers, that holds the train's power lines, on the outside of a curve? If you God forbid should derail you will wipe out the towers, as opposed to having them on the inside of a turn where you hopefully will miss them entirely.
A train can derail in both direction based on the counter force of what ever the reason for a derailment should be. The masts are on the outside because of how physics pulls the catenary towards the center of the curve.
