4K CABVIEW: Howling winds and HEAVY snow! 🌨️🌨️❄️🌬️
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2024
- The roads are closed due to the howling winds and heavy snow over the mountain pass, the trains, for us it's normal service as usual. One of the huge benefits of trains are the ability to traverse areas with horrendous winds and snow due to our weight and mass.
Starting off at Ål I will run a freight train to the freight terminal in Bergen.
The moon is right behind us and it will light up the mountain landscape on our way over.
The trip traverses the mountain pass on the Bergen Line which is one of the most inhospitable environment during winter. It's cold, it's snowy and the weather can turn on you within minutes. You'll even see the stark difference from one side of the Finse tunnel to the other.
Interesting points on the trip has been marked with a ❗ in the chapters section.
Enjoy!

Words fail me. What an amazingly atmospheric, ghostly journey that was.
It’s amazing what that small planet of ours can offer sometimes.
We can’t thank you enough, RCG, for sharing this magic with us.
I know! It is a favorite video of mine It is a beautiful world that has gotten tainted by those who wish life harm. Talking about the recent Ohio derailing of train and setting Forever Chemicals on fire this after denying the rights of railroad workers conductors and engineers their rights to strike for fair contracts.
What a world. We the good people will win and all will be cleansed.
Thank you so much!
The internet is amazing. I'm a special effects guy in Houston Texas US enjoying a ride with a Norwegian railroad driver through beautiful and daunting countryside. And I'm loving every second. Thank you!
How beautiful. So relaxing.
Also, I really like how the station masters and other train drivers make a sign to say hello. Must be nice to see in the long hours of solitude.
Love the view it's beautiful 😍
I just want to say ty all train drivers for safely transporting us and cargo, supplying the world. Ty RailCowGirl for showing the beautiful scenery and a small inside look on driving train.
Yes, agree 💯
Ameen
Ty - Really, cannot write THANK YOU ?????
Hey...anyone who could do this at night & stay awake? With that rhythm.....forget about it. Super- human.
Amen to that and I also thank Cowgirl for taking us with her on every trip.
I got this video randomly in my feed and I fell in love!!! It’s beautiful and so relaxing to watch! Really lowers my anxiety ❤️
I have Vivaldi on the stereo, RailCowGirl on the screen, and vodka and cranberry in the glass. Time to settle in and enjoy the ride after a long day. Love this channel. Thank you!!!
I never thought being a train driver in such a remote place could be such a dream job.
Sure, and if you think it’s nice, it was more exciting in the days of steam locomotives.
Thanks, glad you liked the video :)
I'm a railfan cowboy from Texas! I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, and I love your videos. Thanks for what you do!
Thank YOU, for watching, Chopper :D
Wow! The surreal scenes in Finse tunnel, Dale looking like something out of a fairy story, blasting over the Mountain, the ever looming bulk of the mountains. Awesome! Special mention to the rabbit who got a cameo part!
timestamp for the rabbit, please?
@@kah597 It's right there in the description!
@@kah597 43:30 White hare.
Looking for the rabbit. Where is the rabbit?
@@edmeko3262 43:30
I come back to this video often when I want exciting relaxation. One of your best and they are all good. Thank You again for giving these videos to us. ❤
Thank you so much!
Fabulous RCG I love this one it shows the Harshness and Beauty of the Norwegian Landscape😊
Thank you!
I was involved in aviation for 30 yr as a systems and avionics instructor and find these videos strangely hypnotic and relaxing. Your integrated transportation systems with it's depth of infrastructure and equipment put us to shame.
There is something very restful about watching the shunting at the end. Enjoyed this journey which must have been demanding with the heavy snow and strong winds. You could really see how much reflected the light the moon was giving up in the mountains.
You are a poetic person. Thank you.
I just can't get enough of these amazing videos
Wooohoo!! ❤️
Of all the rail videos yours are my favourite. Sublime countryside and you’ve done so much to the video quality! Thank you as always.
Thank you so much! Hoping to bring even more and better quality in the future :D
@@RailCowGirl Even though I'm totally blind, I really, really miss train transportation, because it's severely lacking here in the Southern United States, and it's only getting worse. The air quality suffers, too, and I'm considering leaving the United States and moving back to France or somewhere else where I can obtain transportation and become more mobile and independent. I'm only 57, but my health is suffering over here, and I really need to get back to being mobile and free again, and I just love how amazing Europe is! Question: Do you operate any of these trains, or do you ride them? Like I said, I listen to the videos, as I can't see them. I can read all the comments and descriptions using text-to-speech software, and I hear what I'm typing, so I can correct any mistakes I make which is important to me.
Anyway, thank you in advance for the feedback, and thank you so much for such amazing audio quality! I believe it's as important as the visual quality, because that's one way I can take in the "scenery". (Just think: If we could all learn how to use all our senses, how much more considerate and educated we could be!)
Actually, no need to answer my question as to whether you operate this train, because I read further in the comments. Still, if you have anything to share with me, I'm all for it. Thanks again in advance for your efforts. We all really appreciate them.
There's something soothing listening to an electric train while ya sleep. Only for the horns to go and wake ya up to make sure ya watch the rest of the video. Lol besides this helping me get to sleep it's nice to see Norway from all the way from Alberta Canada
I am watching this video again because this is such a nice bit of adventure and beauty. It is an enchanting World you are driving through.
I can’t explain why I like these videos so much. I guess partly I get to see your lovely country which I would love to explore some day. Incredible scenery. Thanks so much.
Thanks a lot!
Night views of the lit up towns is so gorgeous 😍
Glad you liked it :D
Thank you so much for this. I have been watching it the whole afternoon very relaxing.
Omg it’s 1am and I woke up to a horn going off I thought someone’s was honking outside I couldn’t find the source of the noise until I looked over at my son sleeping and I find this video on his tablet lol.
Aaand I just watched every bit of that. Thank you RUclips for a random thing I did not know I would enjoy. ;)
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
*It's a matter of magic atmosphere. It's all about that, for the viewer. I am italian. In 1998 I was in Norway, with an Avis car. Italy is one of the richest places on Earth, if we talk about Arts, History, natural views, everything. But going by car from Bergen to Oslo teached me that something BIGGER, wider, immense exists in Norway: Mother Nature's been generous, with Norway. By train, as I can now enjoy in my darkened room and full screen, is something MAGIC. I'd find perfectly normal to find a fairy or and elf coming out from nowhere... The sound is good as well. A big "Thank You" to RailCowGirl for this precious show.*
When lighting the main headlight, for me is too much.
Thank you for this. I feel like an arm-chair traveler this way. Excellent. I love these.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm impressed by the lack of icing problems on the Overhead Line Equipment.
Also, I'll hold your covfefe, and hand over a flask of nice chocolate.
Your videos are like meditation for me☺️. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
@@RailCowGirl Hello
Thank you so much for another new video. They are really nice and calming to watch. :)
Thank you for your work!!!! Love Nighttrains.
Stunning. Hope the YT algorithm recognizes that so many ppl should see these videos. Much love and stay warm
Yea!!! New RCG! Watching on my big screen TV whist resting my back this morning. Thank you, amazing video as always!
Another riveting video by RCG! I particularly loved the images of Stanghelle before the bridge. Terrific stuff!
Thank you so much!
grym video!!! tack för en bra kanal!! from sweden with love!!
Takk :)
I was with you right up till the air horn. Woke me out of my calm
Yeah that's the main thing that stops me from falling asleep watching these videos, wish it wasn't there lol
It is best to watch this video in the dark of night which is what I'm doing in my room. Love this video. Thanks for posting
"I love how you keep the video engaging from start to finish!"
Thanks a lot!
Another fatastic video RCG! Thank you so much. I particularly enjoy the snowy journeys
Thank you so much!
Love these videos RCG. Beautiful scenery👌. Best wishes from the UK.
Thank you so much! :D
For someone that loves a snowy night out and about in the cab of a train navigating a challenge this is a superb catch! Will watch often in the future.
Thank you so much! Hope you like my newest video just as much: ruclips.net/video/JvDjZRR9LAg/видео.htmlsi=17O-8mfZEcapec6U
You had me with “hold my covfefe”
This channel makes me miss my job as a retired locomotive engineer, my favorite time of the year to run trains was in the winter during a snowstorm, I guess if I lived there I probably wouldn’t have retired
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve discovered this in my recommendations. Great footage.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're doing great job.. 👍 thanks for sharing beautiful views..🙂
Thanks a lot for watching!
A great ride to fill up a rainy Saturday afternoon for me!! Love it!!
I LOVE IT
Thank you! :D
Seeing the yard worker at Bergen makes me think your shop also sells glow-in-the-dark RCG masks as well? 😂😂😂
Danke!
WOW! Thank you so so so much for the SuperThanks. Much appreciated. THank you :)
Oh that sound! I just had to crank the sound up more in that new tunnel, such a smooth sound. 💜💜💜
Until the fucking horn
@@GamingAmbienceLive Can horns fuck? Didnt know this.
Again RCG you have done it. Amazing ride great night ride. And the weather made it even better. The ending as you entered Bergan the night lights just blew me away. Thanks RCG. Untill next time.
Love love love. Stay safe!!!
Thank you!
I loved the wave-greeting from the freight train driver...
At 24:39 I saw tracks coming out of the woods and across the tracks, I was hoping they were human as the one thing I always worry about is an animal walking inadvertently in front of the train. I love watching these for many, many reasons. I play a game - I keep a count on how many cars, people, birds, (even wabbits), other trains and even cows and sheep I see. I love to see the lit houses at the trackside, and high up on the slopes in the night-time journeys and thinking how cosy and warm it looks in them. And the daytimes ones the breath-taking scenery is an added bonus. I began looking at these in 2020, in the UK during lockdown when I had covid and I thought I was going to suffocate to death. They saved me for extreme boredom and took my mind of not being able to breathe all day and night - passed the time for four weeks until it broke. I've never thanked you until now.
This was a magnificent video. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RailCowGirl Ma'am, I'll bet the temperature up in those mountains--with the wind blowing snow--must have been -20 or so!
Me: It's going to be another restless night! 😒😤
Also me after watching a Rail Cowgirl video: 🥱😴💤
Hats Off Your Some Brave Rail Cowgirl Driving out in that weather must be a Viking Thing Driving it alone Fascinating seeing what your seeing
You desrve all the Praise and rewards doing a risky Job like that Yahhhooo Stay warm and Safe Our Hero
Hi to the train drivers.
I fell hypnotic watching the rails . I can't stop.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great.
I would love to ride on the train. So peaceful. There are trains that pass near my house. They’re very loud but I’m so used to them that even with my bedroom window open, they don’t wake me up! I live in the mountains of West Virginia in the USA. Both trains would have beautiful scenery. ❤
The cab light greeting is soo cool !
Be careful Girl, slow down and don't derail! I'm watching in 2-fold speed, hehe! (I can wait to reach the juicy part)
I don't have time to get through all your videos! When my five year old son is wild, I make him watch this and he calms down. He is fascinated in fact.
If I may suggest even that you use it to fall asleep, too? I find it very soothing, and I just love the sound.
@@heatherstub I do that too, just wish the wheels made more noise on the rails. That sound is so nice and soothing to me.
RCG a magical video!! Thanks for sharing them, they are missed with the passing of time!! I confess I feel envy, for not inhabiting those latitudes and chatting with their people. Good luck!!
Absolutely love your videos of you battling through the snow high up the mountain sides. When I get the chance I watch your train journeys late at night with the lights out as it makes the video look good on my 75-inch 4k tv.❤😊
You are a fortunate lady! Great videos! Something so peaceful about it, and mystical. I’m a tour bus driver and I just have to say, “I’ll hold your coffee for you anytime, girl“!! Lol!
Thank you so much!
The landscape changes with the seasons. My grandfather used to work on the railroad in the US. During WWII he used to drive a train up and down the west coast bringing men and supplies to their point of embarkation. They could only go at night and with no lights on in cast there were Japanese submarines looking for them.
wonderland I love snow❄️🇳🇴 love from canada🇨🇦
Thanks, glad you like it :)
Great stuff as always RCG. Love the comments at the start about the snow not being a problem. Here in the UK, if we get just a tiny bit of snow they cancel most of the trains immediately 🙄. Keep up the great work. Love these videos 😍
meme of uk lol
UK is afraid of snow more than the plague
Meme of American South. Panic ensues if we see a single snowflake.
Staring ahead into that snow falling is really hypnotic.
Fantastic video as always, these videos are what inspired me to do similar here in the UK so thank you!
What an amazing video! Train driving in Norway is really out of another league, compared to the Netherlands! My compliments.
Thank you! So glad you like it!
Yes, compared to the Dutch railway, this is something completely different.
Respected
Rail cow girl,
I am from India, I went through your whole video clip it's just amazing i don't have any kind of words for your extraordinary work....we all rail fans were very thankful to you for sharing this beautiful and wonderful video clip with all of us 🙏
I hope you will entertain us with your beautiful and amazing videos like this in future too.... 🙏
Take care 🙏
And Thank you so much for your amazing work...keep it up....God bless you....
Poor India never saw snow or has no idea what cold temp is kinda boring to live in that heat all your life
Thank you so much!
Really sweet that you turn on your cab lights, just so you can been seen when waving to other drivers!
You must have nerves of steel! The night, the weather and the mountain are certainly are formidable challenges! Again thanks much RailCowGirl for your work and sharing the video!
I always issue a LIKE before even watching the video. I have never had to take it back.
Wow, thank you so much!! ❤️
You are a fortunate lady! Great videos! Something so peaceful about it, and mystical. I’m a tour bus driver and I just have to say, “I’ll hold your coffee for you anytime, girl❤“!! Lol!
Thank you so much!
Captivating, thank you!
Visited Bergen in summer, gorgeous!
Thanks a lot!
You are a very brave woman. You do a fantastic job keeping the trains on the rails. U.S. trains sometimes derail in heavy snow.
Watching this from sandy plains where infrastructure development is limited by NIMBYs instead of mountains: this railroad is amazing & wild & scary & probably expensive. Love it.
Thanks for watching!
Out of all the videos I've watched, that's the first animal I've seen crossing the tracks infront of you, loving snow bunny 😊
😁
I am watching your latest video right now and I enjoy every minute. You said, the streets were closed. Well, in other countries railways would have been closed as well under such weather conditions. And Rail Cowgirl: Hold my beer, i‘m just going on the Bergen Line. I‘ll be back soon. 😂😂 I will Continue watching tomorrow and I‘m looking forward to your next video. Love and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👏❤️
Such a beautiful night. I love snow. Great video
Thank you so much :)
This is the closest ill get to ur beautiful country ...Thank You so much for the AWESOME RIDE!!!...if i cant see it one way at least i thank u for showing it to me the other way
Another top video RCG. Is there another 'secret tunnel' at Tunga similar to the one you took us round at Fagertnut a while ago?
The one at Tunga just end in the wall a few meters back. Just enough space to fit a loco
@@RailCowGirl Are these tunnels Cold War leftovers, or built for ordinary rail operational purposes ?
I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for taking us on your journey. It is relaxing and a great feeling to ride the rails 🤗. Take care
Awesome ride. Thanks for including the shunting and as always, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
This was super peaceful!!!! Thank you for the post
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are relaxing, I enjoy riding a long with you as you drive your train. 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Thats a lot of tunnels! LOL! Amazing.
Retired RR conductor from the🇺🇲......Great video🥇👏
Excelent Video Thank you
Thank you so much!
All I can say is thanks for the virtual train ride and beautiful scenery. As for the weather, I have plenty of experience driving through this kind of weather. Not by train but by car and truck for I live in Canada.
Thanks for watching :)
Грустно не видеть огни города, а как только увидел далёкий огонёк сразу хочется улыбнуться.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice! Love these night drives.
Thank you!
It really helps with mental problems. Makes me so calm.
Thank you, I'm glad you find the videos helpful ❤️
Thank you RCG for this beautiful night trip and the quality of the images. Thank you for sharing your behaviour with us, which is not so easy and requieres long or even very long waits. How do you occupy during these moments?
This reminds me of when I used to drive an antique passenger trolley and work in a rail yard. Love trains of all kinds.
Thank you!
One of your best RCG!
Getting to really like these videos now . Another very good one & enjoyed .
Glad you enjoyed it
You got me on the "covfefe" 🤣🤣😊
🤣🤣🤣
I just subscribed today. Love your channel ❤ It's so calming. Keep up the good work! 👍🥰
Great video :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Greetings!
I just wanted to say, thank you for showing us both the scenery of a Train Driver, and how beautiful it looks. But also because you were driving a Green Cargo train, the company was formed in Sweden, January 1st, 2001.
I am from Sweden, and I live just under two hours North of Solna, Stockholm. Where the Headquarters for Green Cargo is located in.
