Excellent vids. Both of them. I enjoyed your comments too, and the look around inside the cab. The Benny Hill type music was very fitting as you wizzed around.
Very interesting run different weather from start to finish
Hi Gary, yes we see a lot of weather i can promise. I had to scrap so many videoes due to rain, glare etc :D
Love the countryside you are travelling through, full of greenery, misty mountains in the distance and other scenic views. The drone shots are captivating. The music is pleasant. You talking to us make us feel welcomed and taken a good care of. Very much appreciated! Thank you! :)
Thx again for commenting Larissa. It's comments like this that make me wanna create more movies
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 You are most welcome! 🤩
Thank you very much for these two videos from the Solor line! It´s amazing how well this line is kept in order, even though it´s only used by freight trains. In Germany, many pure freight lines can only be driven at speeds of 40 or 50 km/h.
A very nice area where you live! For Central Europeans it is always nice to see the many greenery and in this video the blooming heather. As they say "You live where other people go on vacation".
The drone footage made the video even more interesting. Thank you for the recordings, the comments and the effort that goes into it!
Thx again for commenting Dieter. There are several "reduced speed zones" now. A long 60 zone starts in Våler and ends way past Braskereidfoss. Then there is a new one before Elverum. Been like this since winter. But they usually fix it :D
Thank you very much.
Nice video! Reminds me when I was in the millitary at Haslemoen camp in the seventies. I took the train to/from Våler station some times. It was a single waggon DMU and it sounded like it had manual gears :-)
Hi Sam. I took the train to Våler when i was a kid. I lived in northern Norway then and took the train to visit my grandparents. To bad they closed down Haslemoen camp. A lot of locals worked there.
An amazing video, full of fantastic scenery and information. Living in the UK it is hard to believe that rivers can be so wide, and have such a still mirror surface. We were taught when I was at school that Scandinavian countries were covered in Pine forests, so it was a surprise when you said about leaves on the rails, which is a UK rail problem down to the number of deciduous trees we have here, and have caused criticism of our rail operators for late or cancelled trains.
Hi Engels. They are finally cutting down some of the trees closest to the rails now. But it's slow, and there is the wind that tends to blow leaf around :D This problem causes wheel damage for millions each year when the wheels spin to such high velocities that the emergency break kicks in and blocks all the wheels on the train :(
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 There has been a lot of tree clearance lineside in the UK too. Unfortunately it isn't consistent to the point that in some areas if it rains the weight of the water causes branches to droop and get hit by passing trains: it is a problem on UK roads too!
That's it. Yakkety Sax got my subscription!
I actually got a copyright issue with that tune from CZcams. Saying I will not have any add income from that video :p
I have rarely waited so keenly for a 'Part Two' as I have this trip. Very many thanks!
Nice to hear Andy :D I have two week vacation soon. Hope to get out one video before that. Think it’s gonna be from Lillehammer.
Beautiful country, you must be very proud. 👍👍👍. 8-31-21
Thx Finley. And thx for commenting :D
👍🏻👀👍🏻
Looks like they got half a dozen or so wagons loaded in the time it took you to run around.
How long does it take to load a full train like that?
About 8-10 min pr wagon. They load first and adjust later.
have u ever had auto brakes engage due to wheels spinning on wet leaves?
Yes. It was a bigger problem before. Now we can turn up the allowed speed limit during autumn.
I was surprised at the manual switching of the points. Are they only automatic on the main lines / passager tracks? Seemed pretty "old school" especially in an area controlled by a station master.
For model train tracks like Märklin , hitting the switch points from the backside when set wrong is not a problem for operations. I assume on the propotype that it's a disastrous, potentially derailing event. Seems like getting this right is an absolutely crucial part of being train driver on these manually switched tracks.
Hi Sorbe and thanks for commenting and asking. Solør line is a so called "line without remote control". So everything is manual here. Even the signals on the station must be turned manually. I think the remote switches are so expencive that they only use them at passenger traffic spots. They don't care that much if a freight train driver must stand in snow and figh the switches :D (some switches have heat tho, so the switching points have melted). In Sweden they have some switches you can "open" driving over them, then they fall back after, but not in Norway.
Very interesting video, thanks for posting. One question, when the train is loaded and departs from the siding back to the mainline who resets the switch and replaces the derail? Do you have to walk the length of your train twice to do it once the train is back on the mainline? or does the Stationmaster come out to lock up after you have departed?
Hi Hack and thx for commenting and asking! That varies. In this video from Elverum we must do it ourselves, and walk a lot! But in Lillehammer train leader fix it remotely. When they set signal to green the road barriers go down, train barriers go of and switches is correct. So we just drive out :) Love that
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 Great stuff, thanks for your reply. Going by the length of your train from your drone shots it does look like a lot of walking! All the best.
@@hackenbush23 Yeah. 26 wagons. 520m. We also check that the breaks works on all wheel trucks. And that they go off again. (Planning a vid sometime about breaks for extreme nerds)
Større tømmerlager har jeg aldri sett her i Norge !!! og vi kjører det til Sverige ?? har du vært her i Flesberg og hentet tømmer for Moelven ?? og hvorfor tuter man hver 2 km på Solørbanen ? er det for å skremme dyr eller hva ? hilsen Harald K
Aldri vært i Flesberg nei :D Ja den tutingen på Solørbanen er beryktet...
Hva tror du, kommer vi til å få se en elektrifisert Solørbane snart? De har jo snakket om dette i årevis og stått og smilt på bilder i Østlendingen og alt mulig, men det later til å skje lite...
Tviler på det blir snart. Dem blåste heller av pengene på ERTMS der :( Det er så smått i gang. Kabelgater er lagt ut nå.
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 Ja ja... Vi får håpe på hydrogentog etterhvert, da kanskje:)
@@Innerspace100 Hehe, det hadde vært noe! Tror det blir en stund til og :P
Diesel er nok tingen i mange år ennå. Men å få effiktivisert det litt med ERTMS og muligheten for å ha flere tog på linja samtidig :) Gikk vel dårlig med planene om tilsving i Elverum og Kongsvinger også?
@@Modlendingen Jepp, forsvaret nektet visstnok tilsving i Elverum pga militært øvingsområde.
Glemte du noe ved 26:57 ?
Hmm, la oss si det var noe feil med lyden :D
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 Hehe.. Jepp 😉
hvorfor er det sporstoppere på banen
Mener du de inne på tømmerterminalen? Sånn er det på nesten alle terminaler. Så man ikke bare kan trille/kjøre ut i hovedspor.
hva gjør dere om dere må på toalettet
Da stopper vi og går til skogs :D Det gjelder overalt. Må man så må man. Ingen nekter deg å stoppe. Du må bare ikke be om tillatelse. Du ringer heller og ber om tilgivelse etter du er ombord igjen.
