This is a beautiful Summer train ride in such a beautiful environment. The Sun works so well with you in this video as it shines from behind you and lights up what is in front of you. Bits and pieces of this run are other-worldly and I just love them … other pieces are just so cozy village, warm field and Summer-friendly. So much good viewing in one video. The run between 2:25:44 to 2:28:05 transported me to a whole, new, alien world. Thank you so much for taking me there!❤❤❤
Came by chance to this channel, now I'm addicted. Never thought I would spend such time behind screen just relaxing and enjoying the scenes. Intro music anyone?
This makes me relaxed and kind of envious at the same time Norwegian trains seem pristine, the weather and landscapes look like what I'd imagine heaven looks like. Not to mention how sparsely populated it is. I could only dream of such a place
I love everything about this video and others of yours. The misty mountains and the way the houses sit alongside lakes and cling to hillsides. The incredible length of some of the tunnels which amaze me. The different colours in the scenery. Such a beautiful part of the world.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us. I like the beginning to this one - you quickly getting to work and what an impressive and long train you drive!! You have made me wish I was a train driver now but wouldn't be the same in the UK me thinks !! :)
All my adult life (a long time now) I have dreamed I was travelling. All my dreams involve travelling through places I've never seen before. And now I have discovered your videos, I enjoy watching these landscapes glide by as sleep slowly overtakes me. They have a solemn, measured beauty. Thank you!
Impressive as always! And the map at the beginning shows how sensible it would be one day to lay the railroad track directly between Honefoss and Oslo S. And the Railcowgirl will make a video of the opening trip along the new line stretch!
@@RailCowGirl it's a great idea. I did Stockholm-Narvik. another fantastic trip. I love Norway. I was in Nordkapp too. (by car of course) and Oslo-Trondheim, Oslo- Copenagen both by train
Why don't you? It's really about federal willpower and understanding that it will bind the country together :D But you do have a pretty extensive freight network?
@@RailCowGirl Corporate lobbying groups have fought for decades to keep public transportation out of North America and keep people driving cars. This documentary explains it all for anyone interested... ruclips.net/video/p-I8GDklsN4/видео.html
Wonderful views. Been to Norway back around 1981 (with the US Marine Corps). Beautiful country and people! PS- Specify that you're in Norway though. Didn't know till I searched it first.

I am enjoying so much your videos. They are soothing and calm. It reminds me of when I was a kid and dreamed about being a train driver. Good job. Cheers from Brasil
Is it me or does this engineer seem to be having a bad day? Blows his horn once, a mile and three tunnels away from a crossing. And then I guess he expects people to jump on board with any luggage. Dude set at Voss station, to pick people up, for seven seconds! That almost seems dangerous! What about elderly people who can't move quickly? With that being said though this is first vid of yours I'm watching and it's amazing! Makes me want to move to Norway with those views! 😍
First of all: *she, not he. Second: I have edited the videos so that the stops are MUCH shorter than they are in real life. Usually we have several minutes on each station, depending on traffic or delays. Of course I use the mirrors before I close the doors to make sure that no one is in danger. And the conductor is making sure that people are entering the train safely, it's a team work. Third: Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@RailCowGirl ohhhhhhhh. I'm actually dumb in not thinking you edited the stops out. And you're actually the driver! I just thought this was a railway fan channel. Very cool! I've watched this video all the way through multiple times! And okay I'm American so I thought maybe railway stations were a little more brisk in Europe haha. But yeah dumb of me not to think about editing. And smooth editing! Didn't even notice a skip. Great video! 🤘
Hey mate, RCG is obviously a consummate professional with the coolest job in the most beautiful country on the planet. She already answered your post, but dude, slow your roll when you're new here. ;) . This channel is one of the most relaxing I've ever found on YT. There are a ton of videos, as I'm sure you've found by now. Cheers!
Thank you for the Video. It is so pretty, but alas, so impossible. Besides the tunnel costs, the rr would be in constant danger of landslides, avalanches, or rock debris dropping in the tunnels. Every week, or day, the rr would have a blockage.
The driver's seat on the locomotive you are driving looks lovely and comfortable, and I suspect is adjustable enough to give you as much leg room as you desire... unlike the pox-ridden cramped driver's seats I had to endure on the British Rail class 150 DMUs that eventually caused me to take early retirement after 40 years service.... Retirement is however the best job I've ever had.... Enough about me.... You always make intersting and scenic videos...
Duty list? Come on CowGirl 😅 You're great in everything! 👍 Thank you for your great job and for happiness and calmness which you give us with your work ❤️
Yep :D It's the sister version of the RE460 :D We had one engine here from the LOK2000 project, and the engineers smashed on a sticker of a moose on it, so it is running somewhere in Switzerland with that logo on. :) The Norwegian technicians did not trust carbon fiber reservoirs and equipped them with standard steel ones. That made the loco to heavy so they reduced the size of the engines, ending up with a total of 7500hp compared to the RE460s 8200hp :) The EL18 is probably the most successful and versatile acquirement that then NSB ever did.
Has to be exciting to see this kind of scenery on a daily basis with your job! I had always wanted to be a locomotive engineer here in the U.S., but couldn’t juggle the hours required with having a family. So I live my dream through your videos
Watch the Finse web cam often and now see about 200 bikes parked there. What are the different bike tours offered out of Finse? I guess people take the train there and rent the bike to go to the next station then take the train again. Enjoy your videos RCG.
The only option for bikers is the construction road from Finse to Flåm via Myrdal, the so called "Rallarvegen". Perhaps the most popular Norwegian bikers route.
The service road called Rallarvegen goes from Haugastøl to Finse and from Finse to Vatnahalsen/Myrdal and down to Flåm :) You can rent bikes at both Haugastøl, Finse, Myrdal and in Flåm :) It is a very nice trip to take.
My first trip abroad was to Norway, aged 11, after my primary school teacher read us the Scandinavian myths, I nagged my ma and pa, and they gladly relented. We stayed in Voss at that time. I’ve always loved Norway and have been back twice since that early visit as a little boy. On my last visit I saw Kraftwerk play in Bergen and then took the morning train to Oslo to see them play the following evening there. That in itself was such a beautiful train journey. Best Wishes to Norway, I too wished I lived in your beautiful country. ❤️
This is the first time I've watched this run. I think it was one of the best i've seen. Loved the architecture of the farms. I noticed at time index 1:39:22 that their was a group of cows wandering down the road. Is that normal? I would love to drive the road through the pass on a photography trip. There were so many interesting things to see. Thanks for taking us along. Bruce
Hi, RCG, always glad to see your postings and videos. I love watching your country's scenery go by. I am confused by the signage at trackside - specifically, the yellow diamond-shaped signs - some have a horizontal line across them, while others have a vertical line; and some others have both vertical and horizontal lines. Are these all signals for you to sound your horn? Or are there other meanings to these signs? Thanks again, and keep up these fabulous videos! :-)
You got it! Horizontal line meaning a cross over. Vertical line meaning a stop or a station, and both meaning both ;) And yes, I have to sound the horn at these signs.
I have been travelling so much all my life, some by Rail particularly in Europe and The US. Now its only a dream to get out doors with all the restrictions due to the pandemic. Its so real from the cab that I feel like I'm back on the road. Super footage and I can even feel the cold in some of the scenes. Thanks for this and there are a few routes that I also remember travelling on which I replay now with nostalgia and enjoy the view
Thank you for another fantastic video of a trip through the beautiful Norwegian countryside. Still trying to wrap my brain around seeing snow on the mountains in summer though Lol! Keep up the good work, Best wishes from Andre and Lola Engelbrecht in South Africa
I had the privilege of being a locomotive engineers assistant in New Zealand for 4 years learning to drive. Way way back in the day. Circumstances prevailed against me and that was as far as it went for me. Sure miss the cab. Anyway these wonderful videos certainly bring back fond memories. I do have a question though. What are all those wooden tall fence like structures dotting the landscape. A good example would be at 2:27:02 in the video. Orange ones. Can anyone tell me.
Since no one helped you out so far, I'll take it on me; The wooden structures are snow fences. These mountainous areas typically have harsh winters with 2-3 metres of snow and a lot of snowdrift even on a moderately windy day, not to mention during the quite regular storms. The snow fence makes the snowdrift settle down and accumulate behind them, instead of covering and clogging the railway track.
Seat 1 has its compensations RCG - views. I'm in awe of the journeys you make and as an ex farmer I get your love of this time of year. Early morning smells - and light, peaceful sounds. ( Once I stop yawning). Dreams are made of this. Love to relax before bed watching your train journeys. Sights and sounds so hypnotic and beautiful. Thank you for all you do.
The time will come for the smell to be recorded and rendered to the public on RUclips along with video and sound. But will then perhaps more people choose to stay home rather than to travel by themselves?
Lovely video! When I saw the other video (with the tree fiasco) and you arrive at Voss- I thought: "What's that in the sky?" So after a little searching and such, I'm interested in the Voss Gondol. You know, the tourist board owes you a great deal...
I love the new images, especially the tunnels, it's so much better than it used to be. Keep up the great work. You're the best at what you do and I still get that peaceful feeling from watching your videos during the time of COVID-19

They should put a fake station in one of the tunnels with actors paid to dress up like the Morlong mole people of the underworld standing on the cavernous underground platform when the train stops there. They should have large dark eyes and be covered with moles. Just to freak out the passengers, men should escort them onto the train with cattle prods at the ready and put them in separate compartments. ...Just a constructive thought.
I am really enjoying this film, the amount of work that has gone into making the tunnels is unbelievable and when this one has finished I will look forward to the next, which won’t be too long I hope
"hyperlapse yourself to work" :-) As a child, I wanted to be engine-driver (and rock star and rally driver), but alas, not good enough eyesight. And since then, everything goes to hell, a now I'm almost 50 and struggling to find a reason to wake up every day. ;-) Welp... I'll watch another railcowgirl, very well done, Norway rulez, thank you. /rant
A few questions from a newbie. How many tunnels on this route? How many kilometers is the longest tunnel? Why does the driver blow the horn in the middle of nowhere when there are no crossings?
I really enjoyed this LONGEST RUclips train video I have ever seen and thanks for sharing. Just wish that there was much more sunshine in the video other than near the end which I especially loved with the gorgeous scenery bathed in sunlight. Not sure why the engineer blasts the horn so much when there are no crossings. GREAT views from the cab, rain or shine, especially with the endless tunnels. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :) I have other videos with more sunshine than in this one on my channel. Unfortunately I cannot change the weather... For the horn, look for the yellow diamond shaped signs. The ones with a horizontal line, means level crossing. The ones with a vertical line means station or halt. If the sign has both lines/a cross, it means there is a station/halt and crossing ahead. Hope that was helpful :)
@@RailCowGirl Thanks for your comments and explaining things for me that I was wondering about, especially about the train horns. Much appreciated. Yes, you cannot control the weather but sunshine does add to the beauty of the scenery that surrounds the trains. I have subscribed to your YT page and will enjoy more of your videos. Cheers from New Mexico USA!

Obrigado pela informação.
Thank you. As someone else already said, this is from Norway :)
They should put a fake station in one of the tunnels with actors paid to dress up like the Morlong mole people of the underworld standing on the cavernous underground platform when the train stops there. They should have large dark eyes and be covered with moles. Just to freak out the passengers, men should escort them onto the train with cattle prods at the ready and put them in separate compartments. ...Just a constructive thought.
v.nice
Thanks!
I am really enjoying this film, the amount of work that has gone into making the tunnels is unbelievable and when this one has finished I will look forward to the next, which won’t be too long I hope
Thank you so much!
"hyperlapse yourself to work" :-)
As a child, I wanted to be engine-driver (and rock star and rally driver), but alas, not good enough eyesight. And since then, everything goes to hell, a now I'm almost 50 and struggling to find a reason to wake up every day. ;-) Welp... I'll watch another railcowgirl, very well done, Norway rulez, thank you.

You don't need good eye sight to become a rock star, do you? Not too late for that ;) Thanks for watching!
A few questions from a newbie. How many tunnels on this route? How many kilometers is the longest tunnel? Why does the driver blow the horn in the middle of nowhere when there are no crossings?
Hi. You can look for the answers to your questions here: www.railcowgirl.com/faq/
The tunnels are good example of best engineering
Instead of the fireplace channel, I'll put that during the christmas dinner
Yay!! That is awesome!!
definitely need that "mana" refill, without it mind & body don't work lol
I really enjoyed this LONGEST RUclips train video I have ever seen and thanks for sharing. Just wish that there was much more sunshine in the video other than near the end which I especially loved with the gorgeous scenery bathed in sunlight. Not sure why the engineer blasts the horn so much when there are no crossings. GREAT views from the cab, rain or shine, especially with the endless tunnels. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :) I have other videos with more sunshine than in this one on my channel. Unfortunately I cannot change the weather...
For the horn, look for the yellow diamond shaped signs. The ones with a horizontal line, means level crossing. The ones with a vertical line means station or halt. If the sign has both lines/a cross, it means there is a station/halt and crossing ahead. Hope that was helpful :)
@@RailCowGirl Thanks for your comments and explaining things for me that I was wondering about, especially about the train horns. Much appreciated. Yes, you cannot control the weather but sunshine does add to the beauty of the scenery that surrounds the trains. I have subscribed to your YT page and will enjoy more of your videos. Cheers from New Mexico USA!
