Since finding your channel in August 2020 my mental health has greatly improved. I’ve watched countless hours of amazing views which has helped me forget about things that used to get me down. Thankyou for this ❤️
I've traveled with you over the mountain many times, but this is by far and away the most scenic trip of them all. The light and the views were fantastic. Thank you RCG.
Oh, and others have probably said this before me, but I appreciate the way you deal with the camera so we are not blinded as we exit every tunnel. So considerate:-)
I watch and about your videos, I am fascinated every time by the beauty of Norway, and by your perfect technical professionalism. The explanations of the signals, of the safety, demonstrate your great passion that you put into your work. ❤❤❤
This one fooled me. It was looking more and more menacing, and just when I think it's gonna get stormy, around 58 minutes, bam!, all that brilliant Sunlight over the valley. Stunning. I also love the Desolate tone this trip takes on for a while there. I seen houses and buildings, but no people in sight. Just you and the train zipping along. Surreal and gorgeous all at once. Cheers
I so enjoy a new video from railcowgirl; i'm retired and go to her channel every day, and when there's a new video, it's almost like Christmas!!! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your voyages!
Here in Tucson Arizona today, a new record high for June 15th. It was officially 115 Degrees Fahrenheit. Ouch. Thanks for cooling me off for awhile with this chilly ride
@@RailCowGirl Thanks RCG. All your trips cool me down, literally and figuratively🌝. As if the heat isn't bad enough (this is the 6th consecutive day over 113) we also have at least 10 different wildfires burning up our beautiful state right now, maybe more. I really have a new respect for the men and women fighting them. They're getting the double whammy; the intense heat of the 🔥 along with the sizzling 🌞
RCG Congrats on another great video, like the clarity and light management, even in tunnel transition. Awesome equipment you now have. Thanks for sharing your hard work in the editing.
Just upgraded to a bigger TV with 4K, my TV is mainly my computer monitor also. It's all your fault! Just kidding😉, but the better to watch your videos. Like the shunting and waiting at the beginning, gives a little insight to what it's really like sometimes. People don't realize how much hurry up and wait is involved in the transportation game. This is one of my favorite over the pass winter time videos.
Thank you for the new video I'm fascinated as always with your beautiful country. My grandfather was a retired conductor on the Southern run on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi many, many years ago🇺🇸🥰
RCG has done it again! How impressive the improvements are - the derailer was new to me, more info. The unsuspecting and involuntary cowboys - fellow employees having their privacy protected - on the platforms are much better than putting some pixelation on them - a fun factor that they are surely liking, just as I am. The flat spot on a wheel (possibly on both wheels on the same axle) was probably on the front bogie because it was so easy to hear. And the double horn at Finse-Tunnel's highest point instead of a text message is another fun factor for all of us regular viewers. RCG you have a very welcome sense of humour - especially in these so depressing times.
Amazing countryside. I have to admit, though, I cannot imagine living in such a desolate, unwelcoming environment. Love your videos!!! Thank you for sharing your trips with us!
I loved the tunnel names and the other information you included. Wow! Winter isn't releasing her grip over the mountain quite yet. Thanks for another wonderful and informative video! You keep out doing yourself, RCG!
@@RailCowGirl Thank you for responding, however, age and finances are a major factor! And so, I shall continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery that you bring to my home with your camera video's! Again, thank you greatly for a personal response, and I wish you safe travels over your railways! 💖💖💖
I think was I love most about your vids is the journey to the train cab. Gives is a real every day event(this is how I start my day on the job type of thing). Dam pretty scenery some of it scary, I just wouldn't want to be caught out in the snow even in the correct clothing.
What a beautiful ride! The snow-capped mountains were awesome! Norway must be beautiful in the Spring,Summer and Autumn as well.. Great vlog👍and God bless✝️❤️
Thanks for this misty (up to the mounting pass) trip! It was interesting to see the derailer contraption at the beginning of the journey, I have never seen it anywhere before.
2:02 Lol :)) I like the introduction again, it's not just a ride, but also the beginning that you have to sleep somewhere, go to the set, revive it ... it won't work on its own. Nice work, just keep going. He greets the driver from the Czech Republic
Blackmagic has been such a favourite of my camera as a filmmaker and to see it utilised in the most scenic locations is so comforting. As a filmmaker you’ve really inspired my creativity and imagination and I’ve already started writing a feature film in which most of the film will be cabin recordings with a story Ofcourse. I would love to collaborate with you on that once I have something solid. Also, you’re so talented and amazing, I’m pretty sure we all as your viewers would love to hear more about your own journey of becoming a train operator and engineer, that’d be truly satisfying, thanks for such meditative videos, you’re doing a phenomenal job !!
Sometimes you just know you're going to 'like' a video before you've even seen it. Who the hell needs Hollywood when RCG has a camera in the cab anyway?
This is the best video so far!! And the tunnels, oh my!!! So many of them! I have so many questions about the railway, such as how long it takes to cut through a mountain, lol, and when did they start building these railways through the mountains! Living on the prairies in Saskatchewan, Canada I can't begin to imagine how different life is there! Thanks so much for keeping me so entertained during this pandemic RCG; I don't have a minute to be bored!!
Thanks RCG for this latest vid from you. I've no idea how many of your trips I've already watched, but the weather change is absolutely MIND-BLOWING every time! Though I wonder who at all is living in the houses along the line, especially in the otherworldly passage?
Glad you like them! In the mountains many of the houses you see are cabins that people use in weekends or during holidays. And yes, the weather can be very different in the mountains than in the lowlands.
So pretty. As a noobie, though, what does the Vmax Line and Vmax Consist stand for? I first thought that it meant one was the maximum speed and the other the speed you're going, but cannot figure it out 🤔
Ah, I see at the beginning the new addition to the cab's items, hand sanitizer. Also like your pointing to that pile of sand and rocks blocking your path, true fall risk. I have now watched the whole video and really enjoyed it, as I always do with your cab rides. Winter in your part of Norway is beautiful with the green trees against the white snow. Just a little reminder of something you forgot, at the 1:55 mark you passed a passing loop and forgot to put in its name as you had been doing for the whole ride. Again thank you so much and keep these coming.
Wonderful views. Question: How do you know if the speed limit changes at the sign or the next small yellow triangle ? I have been watching the signs closely, but cannot work it out. Thanks.
First you have a triangle pointing down with a number on it lets say it's 7 (which equals 70km/h). This is a warning of reduced speed limit ahead. the start of the section with the new speed limit is marked with a small yellow triangle (also pointing down). Usually this is mounted on the backside of the signal for increased speed limit for the opposite direction.
Thanks for the great videos - I love these views of the mountain scenery! 🤩 Around 1:54:00 one can see a track of "footprints" on the track. Does anybody know what animal made these?
No passengers; can you feel the difference with less wait, maybe better acceleration? When you're "alone", do you still need to have the 2nd person onboard, the "conductor"?
Yay, another treat for us! Thank you for this, a godsend at the end of a stressful week. ...I'm 18 minutes in. Listening to the noises the train makes, I wonder: was the transfer to the workshop due to wheel flats?
Having watched all of it, you weren't exaggerating about other-wordly! For future reference, my favourite moments: 0:00:52 POINTING 0:33:05 low-hanging clouds come into view 0:36:00 first touch of the bottom of the clouds 0:43:15 fresh snow on the shore of the lake before Vieren below the cloud bottom 0:52:15 clouds touching mountaintop 0:57:40 second spotting of the blue sky above the Klevavatn lake 1:12:35 Finse backlit (start of the REALLY otherworldly part!) 1:15:00 back into the darkness 1:16:45 backlit mountain, again back into the clouds 1:18:00 blown snow (Hoth 1000%) 1:20:03 finally, sunlight & deep snow 1:22:00 shadow relief on snowed-in mountain 1:35:10 mini-lakes of melting ice 1:55:25 _only_ the station building is sunlit 1:59:05 melting lake on the descent 2:01:45 melting lake end on the descent
I know I'm a few years late to the party, but I must say what a great trip this was with the change of weather and scenery. Thanks again RCG.😄
Since finding your channel in August 2020 my mental health has greatly improved. I’ve watched countless hours of amazing views which has helped me forget about things that used to get me down. Thankyou for this ❤️
The added tunnel names and all the tid-bits of information along the route is outstanding! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
I've traveled with you over the mountain many times, but this is by far and away the most scenic trip of them all. The light and the views were fantastic. Thank you RCG.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful sceneries, BREATHTAKING 😍
Pizza and a Norwegian train ride. I am living the high life!
There's some very jealous people all of a sudden!
I watched this with a bowl of the finest porridge in existence! Breakfast in the cab!
Haha, glad you enjoyed it!
Oh, and others have probably said this before me, but I appreciate the way you deal with the camera so we are not blinded as we exit every tunnel. So considerate:-)
Yep, have heard something similar before :D So glad it's appreciated ❤️ Pretty impressive camera :D
Wonderful & great i can't add more.
Thinks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I watch and about your videos, I am fascinated every time by the beauty of Norway, and by your perfect technical professionalism. The explanations of the signals, of the safety, demonstrate your great passion that you put into your work. ❤❤❤
Videos don't come any better than this one.
Absolutely awesome for anxiety.
Happy to hear my videos are helping!
Thanks for the trips, RCG. Great for quarantine. No plot, no conflict.
Just a couple of hours of peaceful scenery. Thank You.
Glad you like it! Stay safe!
I absolutely love it! These are good quality videos for introverts! Very relaxing
Truly spectacular and the descent into Al is fearsome.
Glad you like it!

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it. The houses in the mountains are cabins. Norwegians love cabins, and use them mostly during the weekends and holidays.
What a beautiful country ❤️ Thanks for sharing this 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it
I must admit that this gravel heap is.... gravelous !
haha
im gonna go eat ballast rock now
LOL!!
this was an entertaining programme ,we enjoyed the changing scenery . takk skal du ha rcg
Tusen takk :D
I love your train videos! I use them to work out and the pace is perfect for bike work.
Glad you like them!
Finse - Haugastøl... Breathtaking!
Glad you enjoyed it!
😱WOW!
BREATHTAKING views in a superb landscape!😎
Winter wonderland!👍
Many thanks!
💕AWESOME I've Seen Spring In This Video With Greenery. Getting better each video RCG💕

Hope you like it! ❤️❤️
Another great video Rail Cow Girl !
Enjoyed the Finse fact about Star Wars filming too !
Amazing countryside. I have to admit, though, I cannot imagine living in such a desolate, unwelcoming environment. Love your videos!!! Thank you for sharing your trips with us!
Desolate?; Uninviting? Those houses are for City people to enjoy their weekends and holidays there. And how to get there? That's right!
Fantastic!! Loved the trip! And yes, the colour's up on the mountain pass were beautifully strange! Thanks for taking me along for the ride. :) :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Crunchy gravel, and your daily walk to the train, all familiar. Great ride. Myrdal, your pals on the veranda.
Glad you enjoyed it
Watching on my big screen TV in my living room in Vancouver. Looks great. Hello from Canada.
Awesome! Thank you!
YAY another epic video, keep up the great work, stay safe & healthy out there.
Thanks, glad you like it!
You've gifted us with another cool ride along your route. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Glad you enjoyed it!
First...
...RUclips video that I am watching on my new Samsung S7. They both look amazing 👍
How I would so love to visit your country and ride your train! I know it will never happen, so I really enjoy the beautiful snow covered mountains!💖
Maybe one day!
@@RailCowGirl Thank you for responding, however, age and finances are a major factor! And so, I shall continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery that you bring to my home with your camera video's! Again, thank you greatly for a personal response, and I wish you safe travels over your railways! 💖💖💖
Hi, i really enjoy the train journeys, i think i can have this route in memory now!
Thanks for watching!
I think was I love most about your vids is the journey to the train cab. Gives is a real every day event(this is how I start my day on the job type of thing). Dam pretty scenery some of it scary, I just wouldn't want to be caught out in the snow even in the correct clothing.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Очень красивые места, спасибо 🙏 👍, осталось там побывать
Thank you for watching!
1:18:12 holy shit, the view is unbelievable, like another world
Perfect... i Love this
yaaay! ❤️😃
Loving all of the labels- and of course:
-snowy scenery
-pointing at an pile of.. gravel?
-the hand wave- to open the door...
I remember she did that months ago in another video, and the same pile is still there...
Yep, the pile is still there! Why??
thanks for the journey railcowgirl.cant wait for the next one.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!
Superlative work as always, thank you!
Thank you too!
One of my favourite portions of this route is from 15:44 to 18:44. It is beautiful regardless of season.
well rcg another brilliant video between you and train thor we get a great view of a magnificent country norwegian tourist office should sponer u both
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Glad to see you back, hope you are well. I usually watch at least twice if only to

Thank you very much!
Breathtaking, as usual! Thank you for another beautiful video. =)
Thank you very much!
Again an outstanding vid. With all the crossings this is the best documented track in the world😃. Keep on the good work RCG!
Thank you very much!
i would love to live there. So beautiful and peaceful!
It really is!
Just wonderful!
Glad you think so!
A fantastic vidéo 👍👌👏👏👏 thanks RCG
Glad you enjoyed it
😉
What a beautiful ride! The snow-capped mountains were awesome! Norway must be beautiful in the Spring,Summer and Autumn as well.. Great vlog👍and God bless✝️❤️
Thank you very much!
At last !!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!.
Thank you!!
Great video, we love walking and driving videos. But riding a train is a new one!

That train sounds like it has a decent sized flat spot on the wheel!
That is correct, hens it being transported to the workshop in Sundland :) Closest place they can fix that :D
This channel is amazing
Thank you so much!
Mämmi with cream and sugar + Norwegian train trip, not bad at all Monday evening. :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sometimes you just know you're going to 'like' a video before you've even seen it. Who the hell needs Hollywood when RCG has a camera in the cab anyway?
Wow, thank you so much! That's just awesome!! Thanks a lot for your support!
Especially since Hollywood is all made-up garbage, but these RCG Productions are REAL !! Go Rail CowGirl !!
I'd sooner watch an apple rot than anything Hollywood's putting out these days... but I still love train videos like this one.
Wow, the mountain looked awesome. I actually couild see Hoth.
The very place it was filmed ❤️❤️
@@RailCowGirl I knew that, but the light and the whole effect going on, really made me see it for the first time.
I almost gotten worried, thank you so much 😘
You’re welcome 😊
That's was great view
Indeed it is! 😃
This is the best video so far!! And the tunnels, oh my!!! So many of them! I have so many questions about the railway, such as how long it takes to cut through a mountain, lol, and when did they start building these railways through the mountains!

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
How I have missed your videos😍
Glad you like them!
I'm so curious about that line tram of Voss. Would be so cool to go up in one of those gondolas and see the place from above =)
All of these new buildings going up next to the gondola station along the track. Are they apartments? Resorts? Offices? A lot of new construction!
The buildings next to the lower gondola station is Scandic Hotel Voss and an office building housing Visit Voss among others.
Thanks RCG for this latest vid from you. I've no idea how many of your trips I've already watched, but the weather change is absolutely MIND-BLOWING every time! Though I wonder who at all is living in the houses along the line, especially in the otherworldly passage?
Glad you like them! In the mountains many of the houses you see are cabins that people use in weekends or during holidays. And yes, the weather can be very different in the mountains than in the lowlands.
So pretty. As a noobie, though, what does the Vmax Line and Vmax Consist stand for? I first thought that it meant one was the maximum speed and the other the speed you're going, but cannot figure it out 🤔
Line speed and maximum speed allowed for the COMPOSITION/CONSIST of the train
@@RailCowGirl but which one is which, I couldn't figure it out
Nice video like and subscribed from Czech Republic
Thank you for subscribing :D
2:02 It's... a kind of magic! 😆😆
Haha, yes!!
Je vs remercie bcp et vivement.
Thank you for watching!
Thnx for new video
Thanks for watching!
Watched the live feed! Nice stuff
Awesome thank you!
Ah, I see at the beginning the new addition to the cab's items, hand sanitizer. Also like your pointing to that pile of sand and rocks blocking your path, true fall risk. I have now watched the whole video and really enjoyed it, as I always do with your cab rides. Winter in your part of Norway is beautiful with the green trees against the white snow. Just a little reminder of something you forgot, at the 1:55 mark you passed a passing loop and forgot to put in its name as you had been doing for the whole ride. Again thank you so much and keep these coming.
alors elle est où ta neige 😂😂
Thanks a lot. In the intro I never put names, but I have named them throughout the full video.
Wow ...nice video friend ...god bless ...
Thank you! Cheers!
@RailCowGirl Great Video As Always.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@RailCowGirl You're Welcome.
Wonderful views. Question: How do you know if the speed limit changes at the sign or the next small yellow triangle ? I have been watching the signs closely, but cannot work it out. Thanks.
First you have a triangle pointing down with a number on it lets say it's 7 (which equals 70km/h). This is a warning of reduced speed limit ahead. the start of the section with the new speed limit is marked with a small yellow triangle (also pointing down). Usually this is mounted on the backside of the signal for increased speed limit for the opposite direction.
Fantastisk landskap som alltid ❤❤❤❤
Takk for at du ser på og kommenterer :)
I see that pile of snow and whatnot is still blocking the walk! :)
Lol, yes!
Maybe an archeological excavation will take place at some time in the future. Who knows what will be found, when they dig! ~~Roz, from Oz.
Thanks for the great videos - I love these views of the mountain scenery! 🤩
Around 1:54:00 one can see a track of "footprints" on the track. Does anybody know what animal made these?
Great cabview!! Like!
Big thanks
RCG, I just noticed 1:10:38 something new to me that I have never seen in the finse before! What is it?
On the right side of this amazing tunnel❤
It's the entrance to the emergency room :)
@@RailCowGirl you got funnies 😂
@@NaomiKGarza Seriously :) It's where the strobe is blinking :D In there is an emergency room.
@@RailCowGirl makes sense to get to safety if need be.
Ever thought of doing steam foot plate training? Good fitness firing. Would be great having a footplate video of Norwegian heritage steam.
No passengers; can you feel the difference with less wait, maybe better acceleration? When you're "alone", do you still need to have the 2nd person onboard, the "conductor"?
Awesome video!!!
Just one question; that thumping noise, is it possible you had a flat spot on one of your wheels?
Hence why it needed to goto the workshop in Drammen ;)
Wow
That's what I said when I saw the light on the mountain too.
Yay, another treat for us! Thank you for this, a godsend at the end of a stressful week.
...I'm 18 minutes in. Listening to the noises the train makes, I wonder: was the transfer to the workshop due to wheel flats?
Having watched all of it, you weren't exaggerating about other-wordly! For future reference, my favourite moments:
0:00:52 POINTING
0:33:05 low-hanging clouds come into view
0:36:00 first touch of the bottom of the clouds
0:43:15 fresh snow on the shore of the lake before Vieren below the cloud bottom
0:52:15 clouds touching mountaintop
0:57:40 second spotting of the blue sky above the Klevavatn lake
1:12:35 Finse backlit (start of the REALLY otherworldly part!)
1:15:00 back into the darkness
1:16:45 backlit mountain, again back into the clouds
1:18:00 blown snow (Hoth 1000%)
1:20:03 finally, sunlight & deep snow
1:22:00 shadow relief on snowed-in mountain
1:35:10 mini-lakes of melting ice
1:55:25 _only_ the station building is sunlit
1:59:05 melting lake on the descent
2:01:45 melting lake end on the descent
My question exactly! Yet another great video...thank you for all the information (tunnels, crossings, etc.)!
