4K CABVIEW: FREIGHT NIGHT on the Bergen Line
It's finally freight night on the Bergen Line! We're going from Ål to Bergen on this trip. In Bergen we'll be going around with Locomotive and pulling out on the Kronstad track which was part of the original Vossa Line. The Vossa Line opened in 1883 and Bergen station opened in 1913. The line was first a narrow gauge but was converted to normal gauge in 1909 with the completion of the Bergen Line. After pulling out on the Kronstad track we'll be slipping back into the freight terminal.

Lovely! The camaraderie between the engineers is heartwarming. Thank you for this opportunity to see professionalism in action in Norway.
Well I must say, this train has a much better horn than your old ones !!. Thanks for the video, love watching these, so relaxing.
What treat!! A whole new outlook on the countryside we've ridden with you so many times. Thank you for the hard work and the excellent result.
This is a wonderful pre Christmas treat for us. Gee, now those speed modifier signs below the speed limit triangles can be ignored by you as you move the freight Norway needs. It is nice that Green Cargo is allowing you to film so a big thank you to them for it.+
This video is simply mesmerizing. What an antidote to all the stress that can build up in our fast-paced society. It looks like I am going to have to learn Norwegian so I can marvel at all this beauty in person.

Congratulations on the new job, and this video blew me away. I have a brand new computer with a 4k screen and truly amazing color and image accurancy. Plus, filming at night invites trouble. But your camera equipment is very good, I am impressed. I just found the link to your camera equipment, and both the lens and camera body are very, very good. You must be into photograhy. By the way that is the prefect lens for this type of filming. I've bought almost everything from Amazon for last 10 years, they are like the Nordstroms of the internet. Anyway, thank you for your excellent effort. And have a happy holiday season.
Wow snowy and beautiful , I think Christmas has come early 🎄
Excellent video RCG. I loved that third crossing and the other driver waving his arms crazily. It reminds me of my early days of driving, although I was in the cab of a diesel. Most of our trains are about 1.8kms long (around 4,000 + tonnes) due to crossing loop length

Been watching a few of your vids, they are fascinating. I used to drive Tube trains on London Underground and the main line guys used to call us Toytown Railway. lol. Never did get on the mainline though I would have loved to. Fantastic job here RCG. Keep it up and thanks again for all the time and work you put in to bring us these brilliant videos.

In Norway a good deal of the voyage seems to take place in tubes too! Never saw so many tunnels!
Love the loneliness to nowhere... and in btw stations.............. Thans for your videos... These are mystic and wonderful
What a beautiful video. Even the tunnels were a joy to watch. I started watching to enjoy the views of Norway. But I am really loving these night rides as well. Thank you so very much.
This has to be the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! It's like watching a Hallmark Christmas commercial. 🎄🚉🚞🥰
I so love trains!!!!!! I have always wanted to be on a train. Never had the chance. Thank you for this live cam. I love this!
I know I'm going to love this. Can't believe you found the time to do it! You're amazing.💓
Really like this new format and driving experience of freight! It seems so relaxing! Not so noisy either... very peaceful!... thank you!!!!
Dear RCG Thank you! for your attentive video. I appreciate in saying, I missed your railroad wanderings. I reiterate my thanks. Good luck. Peace and good!!

Merry Christmas Miss RCG! How’s the new job for you? Challenging and exciting I hope. I’m watching this in VR and it’s pretty awesome.
It's always been for me such a privilege to watching your videos, i can almost picture myself being in the cab, such is the excellent quality. Sometimes I confess I drift off to sleep so thankfully you are in control and not I. And now thanks to you I have experienced many journeys across Norway. Thank you so much.
As you approach them, the Light of the Cities Bouncing off of the Clouds is Absolutely Overwhelming, a Brilliant Angelic Aura if I've Ever Seen One. Breathtaking For Sure. Top Notch RCG, Top Notch
Great to see you again with a whole set of new rules. Hope you are enjoying this step you took.
AWESOME night freighter trip, enjoyed it very much. Liked the cab wave btn both freighters. Long pull. Thanks for the ride.
OMG! I have never been more excited to see a brand new video...Wow the power of the Bombardier( Green Cargo )Lights I am Amazed. I have goosebumps RCG!
Welcome back! It's great to see in the cab of a train again, even if it's the loco of a freight consist. Thank you so much for the video!! It is a new perspective on the Bergen line. I hope you have a super Christmas and the New Year holds lots of promise for you. Thanks again!
I hope the cab was warm inside, as I'm shivering just watching the video! 🥶
I’m so glad you’re back! Love your beautiful videos. 🙏🏼
Stumbled upon this video and channel by first looking at funny "cats vs trains" (model trains) videos and now I'm wondering how I never knew all my life how awesome this is.

It reminds me of the train I rode when I enlisted in the military 20 years ago. It didn't snow that much, but I got on the train on a cold night. I remember the face of my father, who wiped the tears for the first time in his life. It's a different place and different environment, but it's a good video that makes you think about some memories in your heart.
Incredible! Love the snow, the streetlights and the ambience. Thanks for sharing this!

As a new and older viewer (2nd vid seen, and I was on a 1st name basis with the last wholly mammoth), I didn't know how excited to get about this video. Let me tell you, at my age... well, just getting ducky bumps outta me as you did could be called a miracle. The scenes reminded me of my youth in Hamburg, New York... back when people would bet on the year for the End of the Ice Age. Also, why I never returned -- too Cold & Snowy. None of that here and now, it could be added, but we do have trains and tracks and people who do that sort of thing. You do it well and record it. Super. Gracias por tu video. R.T. West sends...
