One of the best-produced train videos ever! I traveled on this line a as a passenger, though obviously not the freight sections which were very interesting. I especially appreciated the speed and location notes. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
That was very enjoyable to watch. Interesting to go on lines we haven't seen before. The quality of the filming is so good at 4K. I can understand why it took so long to edit and render. Thanks for taking the time and care to do so good a job (including driving of course)
Proper slow TV, love it. Thank you! And thank you for the care, you put into your videos. There aren't many days when I don't watch one. I find them incredibly therapuetic...
@@richardscathouse I do too! And then get rudely awakened when she has to signal a warning horn! 😀 I’m getting pretty good at figuring out a volume just loud enough to hear the engines, yet quiet enough to sleep through the warning horns. This is better than meditation!
@@RailCowGirl Ha ha! If others would like this, then I say go for it. Personally, when I’m not trying to sleep, and I see the diagonal sign, I always honk the horn with you. But I’m not sure where your horn is located. Do you pull a string from the rood like truck drivers use? Or do you have a button on your console? These are the questions that keep me up at night. 😉
Wow, available at 4 K. Got a couple of stills at that level, with my net access can only view at 720. Absolutely spectacular. Thank you for the huge amount of superb work.
Got a message from the traffic controller that the level crossing had been in the locked position for past hour :p so sounded the horn and moved slow in case some one just walked around the gates
OMG RCG, this is the best Winter Wonderland ever ! I like the horn on this engine, and I like seeing "passing time" instead of "arrival/departure" time ! hehhehheh. More please ! Love this 4K viewing too !
Proper slow TV, love it. Thank you! And thank you for the care, you put into your videos. There aren't many days when I don't watch one. I find them incredibly therapuetic...
I discovered your channel a little over a week ago. I am recovering from surgery and this is the most pleasant way I can imagine spending my convalescence. I’ve learned that Norway is a beautiful country and that I should have been a train driver! Well, I’m retired now so it is too late now! Thank you for the marvelous education and entertainment. Stay safe.
Hey there Katie, I hope your surgery was a success and that you recovery goes well. I'm glad my videos is makes this phase much easier. Stay tuned for more videos in the near future :D
Had a sneak peek before my marathon viewing session tomorrow, and I thought 'The Mound' had gone 🤔 Instead it seems to be bigger ‼️ 😱 It would be quicker if I got the Newcastle ferry to Bergen, then hopped on a train with my shovel, and cleared it myself 🤦🇬🇧 Correction - I see there isn't a ferry from Newcastle to Bergen any longer. It was a few decades ago since I was last using it though 😂
That was how I made my first trip to Norway! It was the m/s Jupiter to Bergen via Stavanger and it was some 53 years ago. That's also how long it took me to make my second visit last summer flying to Oslo and training over the mountain pass to Voss. Can't tell you just how odd it was feeling like the whole journey was so familiar when it was the first time I'd made it!
@@TheSm0wman I can't remember the name of my ferry, which was in the early '70s. I do remember how modern Stavanger looked back then though. The return trip was good. 12 of us after 2 weeks mountaineering without showers, still in our outdoor gear hitting the ferry dancefloor 😂
So happy to ride with you again RCG! My first trip since we aren't moving passengers. This is different, but the same, with notable exceptions. I am enjoying the difference, and I hope you are too! The video @ 4K is great, and I appreciate the professional editing you bring to this pleasant trip. Thanks for the happy times!
Thanks for an interesting trip, well explained along the way. How do you disconnect from the train at the terminal? Can you disconnect and set the brakes on the train from the cab without someone on the ground?
Thank you so much RCG!! I spent most of last year riding with you as I did my rehab exercises post-hand surgery. Surprised at how quiet your freight engine cab is; thought it would be clattery and gasp-y (like some of your older passenger engines). The ride "feels" much heavier, more ponderous--more weight to start and stop, I guess. Thanks for coming back and for your hard work putting it all together!
This video in VR is pretty cool Miss RCG! Question for you, what is the sound in the background? Is it the suspension dampers or some large cat trying to cough up a hair ball?
Hope the EU doesn't find out; they'd probably shut down the entire Nordic Rail for health and safety violations. not having the mound properly flagged 🤭🤭🤭
I've had a quick look on the computer and It does look really interesting, I'm saving it for the weekend when I have more time and can see it on a big screen, looking forward to it. Well done RCG must have been hard work. Thank you much.
I discovered your channel during covid lockdown & live them. I have them on while working on my laptop. Makes me feel like im on the train going somewhere & when they’re done. Its my signal for a break.
Wohoo! It's finally friday, I found the LAST 6-pack of christmas beer in the store on my way home from work, and now I'm just going to relax, drink beer and watch this in ONE go. Have a great weekend! :D
Many thanks, D, for another winner of a video! I enjoyed the 'railway humour' where you used a traditional term, 'CONN-troller' coupled with the relatively new use of the word 'Troll'!! All of your captions make the journey more interesting and out-of-way happenings better understood. Congratulations on successful move from passenger to freight driving. Regard, Martin
I agree this channel has one of the best railcam videos. I am a fan of rail vids and have seen and do see a lot of them but this is one of the best. The added comments make it more interesting. A request: If possible please add the tunnel names and length to make it more interesting.Thank you for these great videos.
There was a severe weather incident that hit the whole Halling valley in November. The Bergen Line was closed for days due to downed trees on the line, catenary torn down and what not.
Wow! There was something similar near Wasilla, Alaska a few weeks ago. My friend who lives there lost power and trees were down all over. Winds reached 100 mph.
Absolutely love these videos. They’re so calming and relaxing. They really help to de-stress and relax. They also help me fall asleep. Thank you for making these videos, I don’t think I can tell you how much they help in getting rid of my stress.
Beautiful, new lines for me. I love the night videos with the lights up on the hills. I love the daytime videos too, almost like 2 different worlds. Thanks for a great show!
We have high noise requirements. Since the health requirements for hearing are high. The requirements to make sure hearing loss due to noise won’t put out of a job is high as well.
Casting this magnificent brand new video to my 4K TV to enjoy while practicing piano in the warmth and comfort of my living room! Thank you so much RailCowGirl for all of the many, many hours of hard work that went into this soon-to-be breathtaking Train Ride! Going to support your video now by donating through SuperChat on your Live Channel; Thank You again! 🚂
Thanks so much for another exciting video, RailCowGirl. Have you grown to hate flashing orange signals yet? The nice thing about delayed freight is it doesn’t bitch and moan about missing another connection on another train, bus or whatever. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and hope 2022 brings you lots of happiness and joy!
Just finished the whole video (over 4 days ) . I’ve cycled on my racing bike ( fixed back wheel ) with you for the 4.5 hours. Very enjoyable, changing resistance and speed to try and match your changing speeds relatively speaking of course. Sprints between say 4 or 5 electric catenaries is good. Thanks for posting these lovely videos !!!
Hi. I want to ask who is uncoupling the waggons? Is it done automatic? I saw nobody from shunting personnel? And as You stopped the train (to uncoupling the cars and go to the neighbour track), it was few seconds... amazing.
I enjoyed watching your videos when I lived in the States, now that I live here in Norway it's a little surreal seeing the stations I regularly use from your perspective!
My sister & I live in the state of Georgia USA & have become addicted to your videos. Both of us are older & can't get out to travel much & your video gives us a way to see something we would ever get the chance to see otherwise. Your videos are great & so appreciated by us old folks! Thank you!
Wow, this is just a plain new lovely video. Starting off with the Sun at your back and a frosted landscape headed into a Nordic night … You could not have a more beautiful, cozy, dreamy setting. Getting better all the time. A video to dream with!
Miss RCG, just got the message this was posted today Jan 21st, but the video has been out for a couple of days now. Notifications are set for “All” so I’m trying to figure out where the delay is. Any ideas?
Bello il video.....e se fosse possibile aggiungervi altri dati in più (lunghezza del treno e relativo peso dellonstesso) sarebbe perfetto....se poi si potesse avere un'idea di dove vanno e cosa sono i treni che si incrociano...ancora meglio! Grazie.....
i see tracks in the snow coming from the small yellow shed to the right of the track , the tracks went for some time . one on the inside and on on the out side of the running rails. is this the track or signal department .?????????
Wicked! :D I'll make sure you know when I'm going to pass next time :D Same With ItsBurn :D we'll be meeting up with him if he's at work at Alnabru next time I'm there :D
Does it feel strange to pass the stations and not stop for passengers? After doing that for some years, you probably contemplate it simply out of habit as you approach platforms now.😃
Ahhhh another Winter Wonderland. So refreshing to an Australian sweltering through a bastard Summer. It was 42°C yesterday, 41°C expected today. So enjoy your Cool refreshing Winter, you lucky buggers!🤣🇦🇺
Not sure if you know or care to comment, at the 48 minute mark there are a lot of trees that have been snapped off nearly at their bases. Some could be logging but does not seem uniform enough to be so. What kind of wind storm did this area see that caused this as that is what it looks like? Any suggestions? Some trees are lined up at the tracks, others are scattered in the woods. Does not seem to be something caused by people, too random.
It was a severe storm with 160km/h winds that hit the area in November. Lots of trees snapped like twigs because never grew resilient for something that has never happened before. The line was closed for a days due to the amount of trees over the line and torn down catenary. Check out the catenary mast just before Bergheim, and the check with previous videos of the same place, and you'll see how many trees that is now gone.
@@RailCowGirl Yikes, that's almost 100 miles per hour! No wonders. I bet a bunch of older buildings went down also. Sorry for such a mess to clean up & disrupting transportation. Ughhh
Enjoying all your productions - so basic, maybe elementary questions (2) - Engineer's must have pre-knowledge of the route they will be assigned - or specific diversions required - do you have an actual "map" that forewarns of diversions, - or are you in full contact via radio throughout the trip ? - Same / similar question - it seems you know when a speed restriction is approaching or encountered - before you actually see the signals.... how are you advised to slow beforehand ? Great visuals and scenery, I focus on track switches and route the most.... Thank You !
You might want to look at the "trainthor" videos. He'll tell you down to his days underwear. Don't like that my self. I'm trying to cure my insomnia with the steady thrum from the e-motors
@@RailCowGirl Well, good to know you haven't started talking to yourself. And speaking of talking, any idea when you are going to be able to do another chat stream?
Tar det på norsk eg... Setter virkelig pris på dine førerplassfilmer. At du tar med møtende tog og sikkert senere forbikjørende setter eg ekstra stor pris på. Eg ser fram til de lysere sommerkvelder og netter og om du skulle havne på andre strekninger enn Bergensbanen så blir eg ikkje sur om eg får sjå resultatet....
Tusen takk for det :) Har et par nyere videoer fra både Sørlandsbanen og Dovrebanen (før Randklev bru ble tatt av Hans) på kanalen min, håper du liker de :)
When I first seen these train videos I was watching a chris rea video "looking for the summer" great video anyways I started watching more next thing I know I'm hooked to see the majestic mountains and beautiful rivers its definitely on my bucket list.
@@RailCowGirl I tried to translate the answers in the google translate to Dutch or English but it doesn't work, so I don't know what "SIFA SIFA or Feil feil feil" means and what that computer lady says that for.
@@PA2OLD FEIL = ERROR SIFA = Driver awareness, we need to lift our foot off the pedal and repress it every 30 seconds. With the unites from Vy it's every 60 seconds. 30 seconds is the new EU standard. Like explained before in live session.. if you do not react on the warning sounds... like "SIFA SIFA SIFA" or in other cases beeping sounds, the emergency brakes will apply. New with the EU regulations is that you won't be able to release the brakes either before you have come to a complete stop, which is a "#¤%#¤%#¤W¤% stupid idea.
Ànother lovely beautiful video. I just curious, i have noticed some short branch lines deviating from the mainline going into gated tunnels in the hillside, they look like bunkers of some sort?
Because the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera will only record max 50fps. Due to changes in how the cab is designet and placement to the windshield, I have ordered a new camera system that I think will make things so much easier and better. Freight locos shakes a lot more because of the power put down into the rails etc. Then I'll be back to 60fps. :)
rail cow girl you have to walk miles by your self in a dark cold freight terminal. they should have some one with a cart pick you up and take you were you have to go.
One day I may visit your beautiful country - in the mean time, I will travel the tracks with you. It's amazing, especially since here in Australia it is Summer and 36C to 40C daily right now.
How do you understand that speed limits are changing, is it shown to you inside the train when you drive? If it is how do you mark them on video? You remember them by heart?
RailCowGirl, do you ever get the urge to stop at the stations and pick up some passengers? I wouldn't make a very good train engineer; i keep looking at the scenery and might miss a (red?) signal....... also, the train horn, i'm used to hearing Union Pacific freight engines and their loud sounds so these "european" horns sound a bit like they might not carry as far as a UP horn but maybe that's the purpose, not to disturb the peace and tranquility of the area.
love your videos rail cow girl. wish i could meet you and talk about railroads with you for hours. i love to learn about other countries and how they do things. god bless you.
A fascinating journey and illustrates well the need for route knowledge as when you were maintaining momentum to climb out of Oslo S. What is the meaning of the sign which is a black circle on a yellow diamond ? Thanks for posting.
dang long video, started watching when it was posted, still haven't gotten through it all yet lol, haven't had the time to sit though it all yet. Why did you change trains for? as i really don't know.
One of the best-produced train videos ever! I traveled on this line a as a passenger, though obviously not the freight sections which were very interesting. I especially appreciated the speed and location notes. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
Thank you! ❤️

@@RailCowGirl And we are soooooo glag that you are replying us. Keep up the good work.✌️✌️
Four hours and thirty-three minutes of cab view heaven thanks to RailCowGirl...😇🇳🇴
Yaay! Thank you! ❤️

I love to fall asleep to the electric motors.
@@richardscathouse I do too! And then get rudely awakened when she has to signal a warning horn! 😀 I’m getting pretty good at figuring out a volume just loud enough to hear the engines, yet quiet enough to sleep through the warning horns. This is better than meditation!
hmmm maybe I'll make some compilations lasting an hour, clipping out the horn sound :D
@@RailCowGirl Ha ha! If others would like this, then I say go for it. Personally, when I’m not trying to sleep, and I see the diagonal sign, I always honk the horn with you.

@@RailCowGirl I always watch in chat and that is not even an option for me there. I watch at least an hour a day. All I can say is thank you.
What was all the honking for, just before the crossing at 1.38/00? - - Lovely scenery - even in the dark! :-)
Got a message from the traffic controller that the level crossing had been in the locked position for past hour :p so sounded the horn and moved slow in case some one just walked around the gates

Welcome back RailCowGirl, Happy New Year To You !!!
Happy new year to you too :)
Nice ending... it was good to see what you hauled. Great video.
Had a sneak peek before my marathon viewing session tomorrow, and I thought 'The Mound' had gone 🤔 Instead it seems to be bigger ‼️ 😱
It would be quicker if I got the Newcastle ferry to Bergen, then hopped on a train with my shovel, and cleared it myself 🤦🇬🇧

I like your video very much, I can lie down at home and enjoy the fun of traveling abroad ^_^ Thank you for your efforts and sharing.
Glad you like them! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much RCG!! I spent most of last year riding with you as I did my rehab exercises post-hand surgery.

This video in VR is pretty cool Miss RCG! Question for you, what is the sound in the background? Is it the suspension dampers or some large cat trying to cough up a hair ball?
Yes, suspension
Watching from Tennessee USA. Glad to see a new route, especially at night. Also, it was good to see bigger towns and the Christmas decorations👍🏽
Thank you so much!
The Mound. I'n another 50 years it will be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hope the EU doesn't find out; they'd probably shut down the entire Nordic Rail for health and safety violations. not having the mound properly flagged 🤭🤭🤭
😂😂😂
Wounderfuel Video. Thumbs up👍
Many thanks
Love these videos. We pretend to be on the trains for the spectacular views.
Glad you like them! ❤️
I've had a quick look on the computer and It does look really interesting,
I'm saving it for the weekend when I have more time and can see it on a
big screen, looking forward to it. Well done RCG must have been hard
work. Thank you much.
1:16:51 - 1:16:55 To the right of the track, a mouse is running for its life🐁😃
Top notch video RCG🤗 It amazes me how the drive wheels get enough traction to get going from a standing start with such a load to pull!
The magic is a combination of traction weight slack in in couplings and how the weight pulls the loco down on the track
I discovered your channel during covid lockdown & live them. I have them on while working on my laptop. Makes me feel like im on the train going somewhere & when they’re done. Its my signal for a break.
Thanks a lot, glad you like them!
Wohoo! It's finally friday, I found the LAST 6-pack of christmas beer in the store on my way home from work, and now I'm just going to relax, drink beer and watch this in ONE go. Have a great weekend! :D
Whoop whoop! :D
DreamWORK pictures presents...
😍
Ha, ha, that mound is the definition of inertia. An object at rest... 🙂
Just today discovered this great channel and just subscribed. I’ve always known trains are cool , and these certainly are.
Wow! Every video surpasses what came before.
Was well worth the wait.
Thank you very much for spending the time preparing another masterpiece.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it.
Thank you what a ride! My grandpas and uncles were engineers, I understand the thrill!
Thank you for watching :D Ah, where did they work? :D

living in the tropics I can intellectually understand short winter days and long winter nights, but seeing this night sky at 5pm really hits home.
I like to say I love this video I can't wait for more RCG.
Yaaay! :D
what’s the plan of the infrastructure operator regarding doubling the tracks? passing loops and conTROLLers reduce momentum…
I agree this channel has one of the best railcam videos. I am a fan of rail vids and have seen and do see a lot of them but this is one of the best. The added comments make it more interesting. A request: If possible please add the tunnel names and length to make it more interesting.Thank you for these great videos.
I already have videos where every tunnel with length is named :D
Hi RCG..has the weather ever been that horrendous that the freight trains are cancelled ?
Yes, several times.
Oh no! not the mound!😜
The MOUND! DUNN DUNN DUNN!
There certainly are a lot of trees down outside of Gol. Is it just the way to the snow or was there a wind storm?
There was a severe weather incident that hit the whole Halling valley in November. The Bergen Line was closed for days due to downed trees on the line, catenary torn down and what not.

Having watched multiple rail channels, I'm convinced Norway has the quietest trains in the world -- at least from inside the locomotive cabin.
We have high noise requirements. Since the health requirements for hearing are high. The requirements to make sure hearing loss due to noise won’t put out of a job is high as well.
so i got back from a 4h33min02sec adventure and when i saw this i was HAPPY

Just loved it, I wake up early in the morning and watch your video and sip coffee. Good job.
That sounds great! Thank you so much!
Thanks
Shaky video though
PS Bless the mound 🙏
Because of the placing. Hence new system on the way
Drat. I thought I knew the Ål to Oslo S route pretty well, and now I've got to learn new things. Oh, the humanity!
She took The Randsfjord Line right.
Hehehe! In life knowledge is always evolving ;)
Are these trains all electric?
Yes
coming in to trolldalen before the switch you can see the brown snow were the loco put down sand on the outside rail.
State of the art RCG, and a happy new year to you!

My guess is logging but I'm not 100% sure. Look at 47:00 on for a while on the left. Some areas appear to be clear cut.
Oh, read a few more comments ahead. She comments on it. Yes it was indeed a storm.
It was a severe storm with 160km/h winds that hit the area in November. Lots of trees snapped like twigs because never grew resilient for something that has never happened before. The line was closed for a days due to the amount of trees over the line and torn down catenary. Check out the catenary mast just before Bergheim, and the check with previous videos of the same place, and you'll see how many trees that is now gone.
@@RailCowGirl Yikes, that's almost 100 miles per hour! No wonders. I bet a bunch of older buildings went down also. Sorry for such a mess to clean up & disrupting transportation. Ughhh
Enjoying all your productions - so basic, maybe elementary questions (2)
- Engineer's must have pre-knowledge of the route they will be assigned - or specific diversions required - do you have an actual "map" that forewarns of diversions, - or are you in full contact via radio throughout the trip ?
- Same / similar question - it seems you know when a speed restriction is approaching or encountered - before you actually see the signals.... how are you advised to slow beforehand ?
Great visuals and scenery, I focus on track switches and route the most.... Thank You !
You might want to look at the "trainthor" videos. He'll tell you down to his days underwear. Don't like that my self.
I'm trying to cure my insomnia with the steady thrum from the e-motors
A new video from RCG, happy days!^..^
Yaaay!
@RCG, I noticed several times that there was a voice, presumably not yours. Do you have some kind of automated co-pilot? Does she nag you?
Bitching Betty ;) just like in the F16 😂
@@RailCowGirl Well, good to know you haven't started talking to yourself. And speaking of talking, any idea when you are going to be able to do another chat stream?
Not sure yet... Hopefully soon :)
@@RailCowGirl my new Hyundai has it too. 🤭
At least she isn't saying "zugbeeinflussung" every five seconds, as her male cousin does in Germany.
@RailCowGirl Excellent Work, The Freight Train Looked Awesome.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much RCG. Your videos brighten up my day and take me to a happy place.
Thank you so much!
Tar det på norsk eg... Setter virkelig pris på dine førerplassfilmer. At du tar med møtende tog og sikkert senere forbikjørende setter eg ekstra stor pris på. Eg ser fram til de lysere sommerkvelder og netter og om du skulle havne på andre strekninger enn Bergensbanen så blir eg ikkje sur om eg får sjå resultatet....
Tusen takk for det :) Har et par nyere videoer fra både Sørlandsbanen og Dovrebanen (før Randklev bru ble tatt av Hans) på kanalen min, håper du liker de :)
Yayyyy RCG im gonna clean my kitchen then sit down and watch you.
Yaaay :D
Your views are very relaxing and beautiful; especially during the very hot summer times in Texas where I live.
Glad you enjoy it!
When I first seen these train videos I was watching a chris rea video "looking for the summer" great video anyways I started watching more next thing I know I'm hooked to see the majestic mountains and beautiful rivers its definitely on my bucket list.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video :)
Votre vidéo est très belle, cependant je regrette que ni la longueur ni les noms des tunnels ne soient mentionnés !
Me gustan mucho tús vídeos. Gracias por compartirlos. Un saludo amiga.
Thank you so much!
What does that lady (computer voice?) in the locomotive keep saying?
SIFA SIFA…. Feil feil feil 😂
@@RailCowGirl I tried to translate the answers in the google translate to Dutch or English but it doesn't work, so I don't know what "SIFA SIFA or Feil feil feil" means and what that computer lady says that for.
@@PA2OLD FEIL = ERROR
SIFA = Driver awareness, we need to lift our foot off the pedal and repress it every 30 seconds. With the unites from Vy it's every 60 seconds. 30 seconds is the new EU standard. Like explained before in live session.. if you do not react on the warning sounds... like "SIFA SIFA SIFA" or in other cases beeping sounds, the emergency brakes will apply. New with the EU regulations is that you won't be able to release the brakes either before you have come to a complete stop, which is a "#¤%#¤%#¤W¤% stupid idea.
@@RailCowGirl Oke thanks!
@@RailCowGirl I never liked the EU. Up everyone's nether regions. 🤬
Ànother lovely beautiful video. I just curious, i have noticed some short branch lines deviating from the mainline going into gated tunnels in the hillside, they look like bunkers of some sort?
Not bunkers. Part of the infrastructure and power supply. They are located inside the mountain to get a stable all year around temperature.
how come the videos are only 50fps and not 60?
Because the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera will only record max 50fps.
Due to changes in how the cab is designet and placement to the windshield, I have ordered a new camera system that I think will make things so much easier and better. Freight locos shakes a lot more because of the power put down into the rails etc. Then I'll be back to 60fps. :)
@@RailCowGirl oh ok I was just wondering. hope you're being safe:)
There is a voice sometimes ( like simpa ) what does it mean
rail cow girl you have to walk miles by your self in a dark cold freight terminal. they should have some one with a cart pick you up and take you were you have to go.
Why? I like the exercise, after sitting for almost 6 hours I’m glad I can go for a walk. :)
One day I may visit your beautiful country - in the mean time, I will travel the tracks with you. It's amazing, especially since here in Australia it is Summer and 36C to 40C daily right now.
How do you understand that speed limits are changing, is it shown to you inside the train when you drive? If it is how do you mark them on video? You remember them by heart?
Why not just look at the triangles when you see the speed changes occur ;)
RailCowGirl, do you ever get the urge to stop at the stations and pick up some passengers? I wouldn't make a very good train engineer; i keep looking at the scenery and might miss a (red?) signal....... also, the train horn, i'm used to hearing Union Pacific freight engines and their loud sounds so these "european" horns sound a bit like they might not carry as far as a UP horn but maybe that's the purpose, not to disturb the peace and tranquility of the area.
love your videos rail cow girl. wish i could meet you and talk about railroads with you for hours. i love to learn about other countries and how they do things. god bless you.
Thank you thank you :D Talking railroad is the best! :D
A fascinating journey and illustrates well the need for route knowledge as when you were maintaining momentum to climb out of Oslo S. What is the meaning of the sign which is a black circle on a yellow diamond ?
Thanks for posting.
dang long video, started watching when it was posted, still haven't gotten through it all yet lol, haven't had the time to sit though it all yet. Why did you change trains for? as i really don't know.
finally got it watched, my local time 05:45, dang all those signal errors, what's causing them?
