Some people like a Hawaii beach at sunset. Give me a cold winters day when the sky is grey and the trees are white sitting on a porch swing with a slight breeze. That's my heaven. Love watching your videos. Norway is a beautiful place. When I retire next year, that's where I wish to do so.

I just can't get enough of these vids! I've never been to Norway, but, what a beautiful country! Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much from this from Portland, Boregon

They be some long tunnels at the end.....there is a beauty with snow and I love it. Give me a snowy winter over a sunny hot summer any day...thank you K, (hope your well?)

Hi RailCowGirl. There are so many things I love about this video. You show a view of the train we will ride with - why does nobody else do this? You also show a view from the side window of a carriage - brilliant. You provide so much additional information on the route (with a map), the stations and time of departure, etc.; it just adds so much more to the enjoyment. I think the images from your camera are fantastic! My wife and I made a cruise to Stavanger, Olden, Flam and Bergen. Your cab ride from Flam brought back wonderful memories.

Since I discovered your channel my son and I really enjoy your videos from showing the control room down to the cars. He especially loves the snow scenery. Because of your channel I am reading alot about Flån and Bergen. I have to visit your beautiful country. The land of a million waterfalls. Thank you and please keep sharing and be safe

I love how it's pretty much in black and white for most of the journey, with the white snow and dark trees. That makes the occasional flashes of colour stand out all the more. The yellow station buildings are particularly cheery!

Excellent journey, watched it over a period of two days. Understood, Home, starter, advance starter, distant signals.

I have watched most of your videos at all times of the day and night. I will even go to sleep with these playing. I was wondering especially in this video what is the top speed you can hit in those straightaways? Also, I noticed very little swaying or movement that we have experienced on trains. Is that the case with these trains or is the camera stabilized? Thanks again.

You have to have absolute confidence the technicians have the right switches thrown traveling at those speeds. It seems a little scary at times.

@RailCowGirl

4 жыл бұрын

Well if the switch is in the wrong position, the signals would have had another aspect, telling me to continue with reduced speed :) The signal is in the dependence of the position of the switches :)

I commend to you the Miles Davis album “Sketches of Spain”, especially the track “Solea” (solitude), that is reminiscent of this particular snow ride.

another excellant video is drammen a major rail junction ? and is there seperate company responsable for tracks and signals etc

Hi HCG, I was just wondering about the engines. The large grey one like the one you are driving now appears to be a very large motor with no connection to the coaches while the other engine you drive you just walk through the coach and open the door and you chair is right there. The motor in this one must be very small in comparison. Enjoy all your videos , very relaxing

No it’s vastly more powerfull. It’s a locomotive with 275KN traction and 7.500hp.

Interesting scheduling that they have to send you on a 2.5 hour trip to take the train. Is it considered duty time as you have no choice other than to be there?

Man how fast is this train going? It seems really fast, on those 2 little rails nothing on either side. We just stopped at some station with yellow buildings for like 30;seconds! And we are off again!

@peterp1158

Triangular signs on the right side give the maximum speed. For example, "11" means 110kph (70 mph). Triangle pointing down, decrease speed; pointing up, increase speed.

Hi @HinduCowGirl, is there no direct line between Hønefoss and Oslo?

@GormHornbori

4 жыл бұрын

No, there is a second line via Roa/Gjøvikbanen. This is shorter, but has lower speed, more single track and less people/passengers. Back in the day, this was the route the express train used. The planning for a new direct line Hønefoss-Sandvika (high speed at 250km/h) is in a late stages, and construction may start in 2021 or 2022 and finish in 2028/2029 if money becomes available and everything goes to plan.

Like @GormHornBori says there is no direct line between Oslo S and Hønefoss. The Ringerike Line was already planned completed in the mid 80's but it never happened, now it has been a political turkey ever since. Hopefully something will happen now and it can be built and completed. Like they say, 50 years in railroad isn't a very long time.
