How lovely to have another journey from our Princess Train Driver in her magical kingdom of snow!!😃

Norway railways should hire you to do every route they have, so that the world enjoy the beautiful views.

Yes! I ´d loved to see the Rauma-line filmed by HCG. I have taken it may times and it is wonderful

The high temp was 104°F (40°C) a couple days ago where I live. Watching this snowy train ride while the swamp cooler is running is a nice diversion from the heat...

Just enough snow to accent the ruggedness of the mountains and Norway is rocking the Olympics. I was going to ask if the fjord at Flam ever froze over but I saw calm water at the very end. Thanks for sharing young lady!!

Awesome snowy footage, single track route somewhere in Norway, lovely landscape and a labyrinth of tunnels and snow sheds

This is my favorite video of the train driver's view inside of tunnel after tunnel. After tunnel.

Oh yeah! Another great snowy train ride!! 👍🏼

My wife and I did this at the end of summer 2010. Definitely coming back in winter.

What a spectacular winter wonderland as you keep the train on its tippy toes slowly down the mountain. Just magical viewing and excellent driving. I send email links of these to all my friends. Thank you for another fantastic video. Cheers

Love these journeys through the snow, so relaxing.

Another beautiful ride. I love train rides for as long as I can remember; my father worked at the Dutch railway (NS), that's why I think.

Yet again an absolutely wonderful trip down to Flåm. I never tire of travelling it with you. I travelled the line twice up from Flåm to Myrdal in the 1970s and it seems even more spectacular now. It would be wonderful if you could find a way of getting someone to take a video of Kjosfossen during a stop there, especialy at this time of the year, which you could include in a future run.

Thank you, thank you.

très belle vidéo paysage magnifiques

Thank you very much ...All videos very nice

Love this video' about the vieuw and the snow!

I like this new video, so as usually, thank you very much! And it's so nice you don't use overlays anymore, all info in the info box bellow video title absolutely enough and comfortable for everyone, I think. Waiting for next snow video:)

Getting pretty close to the edge on the side of that mountain....great video....I believe if I was driving I slow to about 20 mph so if there was a land slide or Avalanche I would get stop and not spill my train down over the Mountainside

Spring is almost here. Please continue making videos as the snow melts. I imagine that stream at the bottom of the valley gets larger.

Watching this in the middle of a Queensland Australia winter at 12c and this is making me want to get a jumper. Wouldn't want to be the first train of the day. even after the plows go through i feel like the train would spend most of the time being a glorified snow plow.

Merci belle vidéo

Very nice trip and looks like the weather here now but wait spring is here right!

I enjoyed this video

Jeg reiste med Flåmsbana første gang i 1969 og siste gang i 2017. Den største opplevelsen var da jeg fikk bli med lokfører Ragnar Vidme på lokomotivet El.11.2098 opp med sovevogna til Myrdal, og ned igjen. Har også gått Flåmsdalen mange ganger, og var sannsyneligvis den aller siste som kom på toget på Kårdal og ble med ned til Flåm, dog ikke uten en sint konduktørs ville protester som sa det ikke var noe stopp der lenger. Jeg avfeiet det hele med et smil og ordene : Hvorfor stoppet du for meg da ? Flåmsbana er fantastisk, og det er filmene din også, som gleder folk langt utenfor Norge. Beste reklame for Flåmsbana som finnes. Tusen takk, HinduCowGirl :-)

Another wonderful video. I’m traveling to Sweden on Tuesday and will be taking the train from Stockholm to Sundsvall. I know it won’t be quite as beautiful of course - but I’m looking forward to it.

A few here and there. What made it worse was that the ground is frozen so that the rain just ran right off. The street looked like a small raging stream. The big reservoirs level is 3 meters down. A lot of that water will stay there where it's needed. Temperatures all over the scale. Yesterday,18c today it is 5. That's normal for this time.

Its allmost like an old black and white moovie. Did you ever get stuck in the snow, and how do you get help if you are stuck..Anyway..Again a Great trainride video.

Another 40 minutes of amazing views! How often oncoming trains meets at Berekvam station? I can see that second track is covered with snow.

Your tunnels remind me of old gold mine tunnels.

Interesting that you seem to approach these ice patches from the roof leaks in the tunnels very cautiously. Would an ice build up on a rail be a problem compared to snow? Spectacular views and surpassing Switzerland in many ways and that is saying something as we have travelled a lot there but not in winter which adds to the experience. Putting that little tunnel at the base of that overhanging cliff at 27 minutes must have been a very scary business for those involved!

"For mye av en god ting kan være fantastisk!"

amazing scenery on this ride .. interesting variation in the structure of the tunnels/ shelters .. raw rock .. cement .. wood -- there were sections that looked like they had been built/rebuilt recently .. does an engine with plow run this line at times? that would be very cool to see, as well

HinduCowGirl - Another wonderfully mesmerizing winter video of gorgeous Norway! I read the history of the Flåm line from your link and it's very interesting. So it is now a privately owned rail line and primarily for tourists? How much are ticket prices now? Thanks!

@RailCowGirl

6 жыл бұрын

The line it self is still owned by the government, but the operation of the train is by Flåm utvikling. The ticket prices now is 550kr for the roundtrip.

Stunning as usual. Back in the seventies I got a cab ride in one of those El 9 locomotives (the co-driver had a bad stomach and, well, resided in the rear cab). Do you know if there are any El 9 in operational condition today? As museum loco for example. Anyway, your loco seems way more comfortable 😉 On the other hand, the old ones had lots of character. Keep on the extraordinary good job.

Thanks for another fabulous video. Was it an EL 17 or EL 18 you were driving? I assume the Flåm line has its own dedicated locomotives? I travelled on it about 25 years ago and I seem to remember being told that each train had something like five independent braking systems.

I wish train driver's videos would show the train before it departs and after it arrives.

Thank you for posting these wonderful videos. I want to visit Norway now (and take your train!). I have some questions about the practicalities of driving a train. 1. You made a very brief stop just after leaving Myrdal and picked up one passenger. How did you know he was safely on the train (and any passengers leaving were safely off) before leaving the station? Is there some signal that you receive? (It looks as though Norwegian passengers must be nimble!) 2. What would you do if a large animal ran in front of your train? Or if a large branch had fallen on the track? 3. In very steep territory, there is nothing between the track and the cliff face. I imagine a landslide or subsidence here would be catastrophic. How often does the railway monitor the stability of the cliffs? Do they often need reinforcement?

@RailCowGirl

6 жыл бұрын

1. There is a conductor on the train giving the departure signal, either visually with a green flag/light or by coms. 2. Depends, you usually can’t do anything, but on the Flåm line the speed is low. Stopping would be the best thing to do, or follow the animal until it leaves the tracks. For more concrete obstacles STOP if you have the chance. 3. Line is visited at night and sometimes during daytime. Drivers/engineers give feedback too when we go up and down. Selected areas are constantly monitored.

How do you know how fast you should be going? How do you know when to blow the horn? Is that a horn or did someone step on a clarinet?
