Wonderful to see the world from your view. The tunnel details are great thanks for going the extra mile and filming inside the tunnels. A Norwegian train ride without tunnels is just unnatural. You are turely a special person with a wonderful heart in this act of sharing a big piece of your world. I enjoyed the video as always and thanks for sharing.
My great-grandparents left Norway in 1854 for the USA. In their letters they longed to see the people and places they left behind , I can only imagine what they would think watching your videos.
Wow, another great video, thank you so much for sharing and recording these videos. I thoroughly enjoy them as do many others. Best wishes for the new year 2021, Be well, Stay safe, Be hopeful!
Hy , thank you for sharing , beautiful landscape , so relaxing and enjoyable , very good quality , fantastic , keep up this great work is a delight to watch .
I absolutely love your videos, and I especially appreciate all the extra information you add about stations, speed limits, and so on. I loved seeing all the tiny little stops on this route - all the little station sheds, and small platforms with just a sign! I love living the beauty of Norway through your eyes. Thank you so much for sharing!
I agree your amount of info, about places, major bridges, tunnels and infrastructures along the lines we see. Thank you very much. Best wishes for the New Year, from Barcelona.
Very enjoyable to watch, thank you for adding km/h and tunnel info, I think it adds a lot, our minds want to know things. Looking forward to the next post!
The good news is you're far from the maddening crowd. The bad news is you're far from doctor's, gas stations, and supermarkets. Spectacular scenery! If one wants solitude, it's here.
Those have to be the best segments of your patch for scenery. I'd love to get on the path along the river from Blomheller with a camera. I really noticed how quiet the electric trains are after watching a couple of Nordlandsbanen videos with their heavy diesels.
Such a scenic route you are on today, I always enjoy all of your videos especially for all those people who may not be able to travel to Norway and see the beautiful sights. Thanks again for all you do and for sharing your videos. Best wishes for the new year 2021. (London, Ontario in Canada).
Thank you for all the extra work you put in to make these rides so enjoyable. Indexing the progress bar so we know where we are every moment and can find our way back, noting such things as avalanche signals and block posts (I had to pause after Ygre and surf, reading about the railway block system). Maybe other railway vloggers do it all this well, but I haven't found them. Yet. Thank you!
I have been watching for a long time now you have the coolest job ever Im sure after some time its like ho hum 4U but for us here in Arizona we love your videos
@RailCowGirl I have just today ‘discovered’ your channel; I *wish* that I had known of it earlier! I have always loved rail travel, and scenery-gawking. Now, I shall endeavor to catch up on what I have missed, and strategize travels - as circumstances allow. God Jul, og Godt Nytt År!
Lovely, i like the sound of train going over rail joints and this is triggering that relaxed part of my brain. (same part most people who like ASMR have triaged by ASMR)
All your videos have been a pleasure to watch. You have an amazing infrastructure in which to work and being able to share this information has been to our advantage. Putting the month in which this was taken is a big help for us who live in the USA Florida. We have always traveled until this past year and this has been an outlet for us to watch. Thank you. Is there any way to include temperatures and a compass direction ? The time of day, arrival and departure times, elevation are very informative as we discuss your travels. 👍👍👍
Tunnels renders GPS useless. :) Temperatures outside at every point? Not very accurate... and would require equipment for that as well.. which mean more stuff to place. We have 2 - 3 minutes to do a crew change, so there is just no time.
@@RailCowGirl It was inappropriate for me to ask for these upgrades as I should already know the pressures of a crew member and the time constraints. Keep up the work that you do, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your quick response. 👍👍👍
I know you have lots of things to watch out for and several controls to utilize and monitors to watch, but do you ever find it boring when you are required to drive at reduced speeds for such a long period? I realize the grade of the tracks is one reason for reduced speed. It certainly got dark quick during the latter part of the trip.
Yes, you buy a ticket for your bicycle. You can rent bicycles in Flåm for example (normal and electric). Search for "Rallarvegen" in general. www.haugastol.no/en/bike-rental
Thanks for another great video. The scenery is just amazing. I really appreciate your adding in the max speed and info about the tunnels and other points of interest. I know that has to be a lot of work for you, but I find it very interesting. I've been trying to figure out the various signs posted along the way, and have gotten many of them. But could you please explain why some speed limit signs have a +5 or +10 sign below them? I notice you have included the additional amount in what you have posted in this video. The other type sign I've not figured out is the small one that hangs on a diagonal with a one or two digit number on it.
I love these rail videos from Scandinavia but always wonder what the occupations of the people who live in these beautiful lands are. Is there enough workable land for agriculture to be viable, or forestry? Its like much of my home in Maine, USA. Wonderful place to be if you have enough to retire. But to scratch out a living is hard going.
Well, this explains the high life expectancy in Norway: the extra time it takes for a train to come to Flam at 20 (max 30) km/h or 12 (max 19) miles/h. I have seen cars going faster than that in reverse (JUST KIDDING!). The scenery is awesome and is best enjoyed at a low speed of travel. No harm done.
Joel, my understanding is that if somebody aboard the train wants a stop-on-request, they tell the conductor, who tells RCG. At the station, just stand on the platform and RCG will stop.
@@servantofmelian9966 The FLIRT trains I rode in other countries all had door knobs that can be pushed before the train stops & register the intent to open the door, so no conductor action was needed. I wonder if something similar was also installed on the EL18 + B3 carriages on the Flåm railway, or is it still via the conductor as you described. In this video, I think RCG slowed down before each stop on request so it's based on visual recognition, but you could automate this - I think I saw this somewhere in Switzerland, where the waiting passenger could push a button to turn a signal red.
Most of the stops are mandatory, and if not, the passenger will have to tell the conductor at what stop they are getting off, and the conductor tells the driver. The good old fashioned way of communication ;)
question: what is the purpose of connecting the loco to external power at the end? Does the pantograph not maintain contact with the overhead wire during the night?
Seasons greetings RCG Operating this train sure beats working in an office with people breathing on you. Lol The snowfall seams to be light for this time of year. Was it later than usual?
I have noticed that on the speed boards there will sometimes be an 80 board with a +10 underneath making the max speed 90. Why not just put a 90 board? Love your videos btw.
Because the +10 is for trains that are allowed (technically) to run overspeed. Freight trains and the Night Train with the sleepers are not approved for overspeed. :)
I'm not sure if you are allowed to tell me this and if not, I understand ... but do you announce the stations to the passengers or is it an automated message that announces them. In Ontario, Canada, it's the Via Rail Service Manager who announces each station. Just curious as I could hear them in the background.
Hello! I’m producing a Dub Techno set for my RUclips channel, and I was wondering if I could use one of your train videos as the background for the set? Your footage would really complement the atmosphere of the music. Of course, I’d credit you and link to the original video in the description. Thanks for considering!
The first view of the snowy mountain upon emerging from the Skiple tunnel is stunning! And then seeing the delicate last light on the mountain tops as everything goes to blue - wow! And the stark, rugged beauty of emerging from the Kjosfossen tunnel. And what a lovely approach down into Flåm in the dark. I spotted the heart of lights off to the left. :) I also noticed, as you get closer to Myrdal, people are out skiing here and there. I guess that's why there are so many request stops - people are heading up to their cabins for the holidays? And coming down from Myrdal, you are making stops to let people off. Did they come on the train with you from Voss, then switch over to get to their cabins?
Winter has arrived, yay! I'm intrigued by all those ultra-short platforms at the stops on request. Do you have selective door control or could passengers in theory jump off where there is no platform? At 1:16:34, some work crew abandoned their equipment...
god Jul dear Cowgirl :) is it technically possible to driva a Flirt75H down to Flåm / has this been done ? just wondering if track limits tunnels and curves would be be able to fit the Flirt ? and if it would be able to handle the steep track .
Hi Lass. I've just run this video again to update my Bergen line information. I note that you have omitted the name of the tunnel between Vieren Halt (Opened 1948) - (Rustedal Tunnel - 188m) and (Missing Name of a Tunnel here?) - Upesete Halt (Opened 1948). Could you give me that missing detail please. Many thanks, Eric xxx
A very nice video. I found it interesting that you took a Flirt from Voss to Myrdal, parked it, then transferred to the Flan shuttle which looked like 1 or 2 coaches bracketed by locomotives. Also parked in Flan was a cut of coaches with a locomotive at the end of track. Was that some of the cars normally used in the Oslo to Bergan service stored there? I do hope that @RailCowGirl you had a great holiday and that 2021 will be a wonderful year for you.
Kinda neat to see the names of all the tunnels. I was a little surprised to see that someone took the time to name those very short tunnels. Was there any criteria to coming up with the names?
Most places in Norway have names already, we've lived here a very long time. We don't need to invent new names. The tunnels are named after their location or nearby feature. For example, the Kjosfoss tunnel is near Kjosfossen station (literally "the Kjos waterfall"). The word kjos comes from Old Norse kjóss and means small bay. The tunnel is therefore Small-bay-waterfall-tunnel.
@RailCowGirl Trains are not driven. Trains do not have a driver in the cab of the engine. Trains have an Engineer in the cab, the Engineer can ONLY control the direction of travel, Forward OR Reverse, the speed of the train and whether to proceed or halt progress.
Here in Norway we’re called Lokomotivfører, same as in Germany. Lokomotiv = locomotive. Fører = leader/driver/conductor. What we’re called differes from where in the world you are. Why train driver? Because it’s it’s the most common name elsewhere in the world.

Therefore, RailCowGirl's usage of "driver" or "train driver" is correct. Now do you understand?

Why is the speed so slow going into Flam? It never got above 30kmh
Because of the gradient of 55‰ and radius of the curves of just 130m

why does the train need external power(excuse my ignorance about this)?
How passengers are stepping off the train when platform is so short like Kløve?
They are required to exit from the first carriage.
Isnt there someone responsible for shoveling or plowing off those platforms? What a pain to get off the train and into 6 inches of snow😞
Thought you were on Freights now?
I am.
Hallo. Merry chrismus
Merry Christmas!
Where does the track on the right after Voss lead. Is it still under traffic?
Is it common for train operators in Norway to drive different locomotives? Do you often operate the EL18? Great videos!
Kinda neat to see the names of all the tunnels. I was a little surprised to see that someone took the time to name those very short tunnels. Was there any criteria to coming up with the names?
Most places in Norway have names already, we've lived here a very long time. We don't need to invent new names. The tunnels are named after their location or nearby feature.
