4K CABVIEW: Morning commuter train to Bergen with flooding
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 07. 2024
- Today I'm taking you on a trip on the morning commuter train to Bergen with flooding. Filmed with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K equipped with a Canon 24mm 1.4 L USM II. This lense is of course wider than the 35mm catching more of the surroundings, but at the same time it will still maintain most of the "true to eye" feel of the line.
Exiting from Voss I've added some markers for where the Old line went before it was improved. Can you find the rest of the features in the terrain on the rest of the trip? Write that down bellow in the comments with time stamps! :D
It's now almost mid September and the autumn colors hast started to set in. It has also been raining consecutively for almost two whole weeks, and the river is pretty angry. Aaaand don't miss out on the flock of the deer to the left at 17:05.

Deer at 17:05
Added that to the chapters too :D
@@RailCowGirl No love for the kitty crossing the tracks at 37:14? 🙁
@@lisa1162 What a keen eye! I had to repeat the moment three times to notice it :D
It’s been a while since I took a train ride with you, but was mesmerized again! Love the way you are labeling the stops and showing the map at the beginning. I remember trying to go on Google Maps to see where you were going, so that helps a lot. I live in the middle of Texas, U.S.A. and no mountains, raging rivers or tunnels here. It’s like an escape to a faraway fantasy land, even though it’s just your everyday job! It really is special to me anyway. I doubt I will ever get to your beautiful country, so thanks for the time and quality videos.
Thank you :D Yes, there is a quite a difference from Texas to Norway :) Huge difference both climatical and topography :D
Apart from the gushing river and forever-ending tunnels, this ride is possibly a dream during the spring & summer times with the mountain colours.
Its my local train but there's something about seeing Arna on here that makes me love living here even more 💕 were a small town with basically nothing but nice nature but it's a beautiful little village in the valley with lots of history 💖 the wool factory Janus is here too along the old Voss line.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it :)
Thank you for an interesting journey. This one is particularly interesting since you mark places where the rail tracks were before longer tunnels were built!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the view of the controls!
You're welcome :D Whoop whoop! :D
The intro was always my everything, it maes me feel like i'm a train driver, thank you girl.
Glad you liked it!! ❤️
You have a beautiful country, thank you for the trip!
Thanks for coming along!
Thank you for pointing out the old abandoned rail routes. Rail history is so important!
It truly is :D See if I can point out some more in the next video :D
Thanks. This is the best way to see the beautiful of Norway and yours landscapes
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
So far the best Cabview Video you've ever made👍👍👍
The amazing landscape during your Ride and the Explanations, it's wonderful. I'm waiting which surprises you got next for us all. Have a good day
Wow, thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
Another fantastic vid - beautiful vistas - thank you RCG !
Many thanks! ❤️
I'm glad we got to see what the train looks like at the start of the video. Plus the full-train walk-through when you changed direction! Very pretty train! :-)
Glad you enjoyed it
Retired locomotive engineer and I used to run commuter trains from NYC Grand Central Station to Stamford and New Haven, Connecticut. I ran M-2's which have a very small control cab unlike your comfortable control cab. We at the time operated on 11 KV 25 cycle AC and later as this was the original AC installation for the country and the power plant was failing converted to 12.5 KV 60 cycle commercial power due to too many bridges which is why they never went to 25 KV power as that would have cost well over 1 billion dollars back in the 70's to raise all the bridges. When on the old New York Central under running third rail at 660 volts D.C. Which were covered in wood for safety.The electrification was installed on the NH in 1906 and NYC also in 1906.
Thank you for your videos.
@@jamesshanks2614 Thanks for the comment. I always wondered why there were so many different voltage levels in use on different lines and not a standard voltage on all catenary.
Been to Bergen, Norway. Utterly beautiful. Nestled in the mountains, cable car travel over top to another town. Loved it there.
Sounds great!
*_WonderKristine_* is driving the train :
so, let's enjoy this amazing rail travel !!!
*_🌷🌿😃R👏C😊G🙏🌿🌷_*
Thank you very much!
So relaxing, I love the scenery.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️
29:09
For a second I thought we were on the same track.
Another great video. Many thanks.
Haha! I think I would have soiled my pants if that was possible :p Especially given the signal aspect ;)
The scenery is STUNNING!
Bergen has a beautiful station. I am amazed at the number of tunnels too
There's a lot of tunnels, yes ;) And I can agree, the station in Bergen is beautiful. Thanks a lot for watching!
So relaxing and always entertaining. Thanks for being the best engineer for our ride.
Glad you enjoy it!
wunderbares Video!!! auch die Einblendungen der alten Linie gefällt mir sehr gut!!!! Weiter so und alles Gute!!!!!
Danke ❤️
Thanks RCG I enjoyed the ride along.
Glad you enjoyed it
damn, this is so beautiful. Here in Los Angeles, my morning commute consists of traveling 8 miles through a dense city with bumper to bumper traffic. It would be so amazing to have a morning commute like that. :o
Oh man, don't mention it, 10, 110 and 210 was my commute there... 45 minute drive during he low time = 2-4h during rush hour... holy cow.... I can't understand how people can live with that...
@@RailCowGirl The trains here in the states are not as nice either.
This is a wonderful new video ... nice video of the exterior and interior of your train ... I always like seeing what the interior of your trains is like ... I will be looking for the markers as we ride along ... you make it looks as if we are driving the train ... thank you so much for that and all your videos RailCowGirl ... greetings from London, Ontario, Canada ... as I believe I stated before, this is one sure way for me and others to see the unique beauty of Norway.
Thank you very much!❤️❤️❤️
Your magic for opening doors always works! Amazing! :) I noticed two things: your train have single sound horn (no more donkey) and when you switch lights off when exiting tunnel there's no opposite light so exit is visible nice.
The EL18 still have the two tone horn, the FLIRT driven in this video also have two tone horn :) But they fire at the same time :D
Verry beautiful country!!!Greetings from ROMANIA!!!!
Thank you very much!
Another wonderful video! You are the only CZcamsr I know of that wants to make the viewer experience as realistic as possible. Getting a pro camera with a great lens really set your videos apart from other train driver videos. Thank you so much for caring so much about your viewers and posting super great videos!
Wow, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well done, a very interesting trip. Saw active river etc but no flooding I could tell.Look forward to more. Beautiful countryside and all those tunnels!.
Look at the island and river bank between Bulken and Evanger, you you can see it submerged. The trees are just sticking out of the water. :)
@@RailCowGirl OK I will go back later and look again I bookmark all the train videos.
It's Incredibly beautiful
Thank you :D ❤️
I wish I could speak Norwegian or Sami. Really beautiful country.
The number of tunnels on this line is amazing.
There are almost 200 tunnels in total on the Bergen Line between Bergen and Oslo :D The longest being Finse Tunnel with 10300m in lenght.
Just found your train journeys today very impressed with scenery
Thank you for watching :)
Hi from South Africa and thank you for another wonderful video. Norway is so beautiful, even on a rainy overcast grey day. Best wishes from Andre and Lola Engelbrecht
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I always enjoy your walks to the train. The Dark Green and Black paint scheme looks very nice. Thanks for pointing out the deer. I would of missed it otherwise...🦌🇳🇴
You are welcome :D It's deer hunting season here now, and the amount of deer is so massive in this area that they need to increase the quotas so they can thin out the numbers.
I just love watching your videos. I especially am quite surprised by how different are the rail signalings between here - Czech republic and Norway. A good example would be the speed change. Those triangles you have mean ,,expect x kmh from next signal" here. And the list goes on :D
You're awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Triangles pointing up = increased line speed
Triangles pointing down = warning of reduced line speed (followed by a smaller downward pointing triangle, usually fitted on the back of the increased line speed for the opposite direction.
Right? And the tunnels. They are long and how many of them are there? The longest tunnel I travelled through is under Prague (no, I dont mean metro) right next to main station.(except the metro)
Amazing nature. Hope to take this train one day!
Thanks for watching, hoping that you'll be able to travel here sometime!
Beautiful journey!
Thank you!
thanks for the journey.i wonder where we are going next time.
Good question! ;) Back to Voss? :D
Another awesome video and with new color train scheme. Though I kind of liked the other colors. Better light management, good in depth resolution with great detail in focus. Though at 50fps still great fluid continuous image stream, love the en route postings.
Thank you very much! ❤️❤️❤️
I just found out I’m 78% Norwegian and I love the rides you take me on. Thank you🥰
That's awesome! Thanks a lot for watching!
Awesome views
OMG! This is epic beautiful! Love this. Thank u so much!
I'm glad you like it
Blessed places, wonderful nature, greetings from Ukraine
Many thanks 🙏 ❤️
Railroading in beautiful mountain scenery, I love it. I'd love to photograph some freight trains on that line. Great video too, the Blackmagic is a very good camera, and you can't beat good Canon L glass. :-)
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that trip was amazing!!! The scenery was just breathtaking. That line must have been very expensive to build given all the tunnels.
Thanks for watching!
Such a magical place with this high level of quality infrastructure and rail engineering!
In America, ten motorists would have wandered through guarded crossings, and the conductor would have found reason to sound the horn 100x between each stop, arriving later and later. This is so civilized by comparison!
Thanks a lot for watching!
Yeah!!! I cant wait to watch this tonight!!
yaaay! :D
Congrats @railcowgirl on your 100K subscribers. You deserve it, lots of hard work!! Keep up all the great work and don't get discouraged.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Love your videos
Thank you ❤️
The control place is really neat very impressive.
Incredible !
Thank you :D everyday is a WOW-moment :D
Beautiful landscape.
It really is!
What an office window!!! And I am in Alberta Canada. Right in the rocky mountains.
I think I would be in total awe riding through your country ;)
@@RailCowGirl beautiful country, that it is. Check into if VIA Rail has deals for other conductors. We love visitors here. Alberta is a very welcoming province.
@@RailCowGirl I'm from New-Brunswick, Canada, It would be a blast to ride from coast to coast. We have great scenery too. :-)
very cool, straightforward calms👍👍👍❤
Glad you like it!
Many thanks for another interesting journey. I like the notes for the old trackbeds. If you ever get the
opportunity to film into the bay road at Arna, Please. Thank you again.
Great suggestion!
OK... Let's see if I am nerdy (or is that 'Herdy'?) enough to spot a few things... Former Station at 26.00?
Former station at 1.08.58? Old deviation to Preserved line 1.09.30? Maybe a few tunnel re-alignments before Trengereid? Think I also spotted the special RCG bonus... Deliberate mistake at 43.40? (Arrive at Stanghele, to read caption advising that next stop is also called Stanghele, not Vaksdal?) Nevertheless, fab viewing as always. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you RCG! :)
You are absolutely correct! The old stations, old deviation and the mistake. Very Nerdy/Herdy! ;) Well spotted!
Like the new colors.
Super! :D
Спасибо большое!❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
So beautiful! I hope the flooding has not caused too much damage.
The levels has gone down again now, and they did not reach system critical for the railway this time around, but now the ground is totally saturated with water, so any rain now will make the river rise again pretty fast.
Great video and perfect ride very beautiful blue train congratulation 👀👌
Thank you very much!
Amazing work
Thanks a lot 😊
Great Video Again.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Nice touch with the crying cow head on the man in Vaksdal .
😀
Wow, such a beaut train.
Glad you enjoyed it!
excelent wish we had trains in us like you all do
Thank you for watching!
Wonderful 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow I love trains - where have you been all my life???? I am now subscribed and look forward to more videos and travels - I am speechless,,,,,
Welcome aboard! ❤️
So now I have to watch THIS vid a 4th time ........ since I can "probably" stay awake for the whole mesmerizing trip ....... 8-)
Thank you so much for watching!
I like the way the new camera gives better details in the tunnels; I've stopped fast-forwarding through them! As far as the colors on the trains, I like the old orange better. I grew up watching the Southern Pacific RR Coast Daylight in California so I'm partial to those colors. Yes I'm old enough to have seen it powered by steam!
Wicked :D
2:10 the perfect visual😍😍
Woohoo!!
52:01 Best part ever! Cow animation!
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks! :D
Lightweight! A hardcore train-misser would keep going 'till he smashed his face across the doors which had been closed 20 seconds.
The light level adjustment problem I complained about a couple of videos ago is not there this time. This camera does a good job. Very good quality.
Ineed i performs much better when the lighting conditions are more equal overall :)
52:09 - Hahaha!!! Thank you for the giggles!
Hahaha! :D
I've never been so entranced by a video. The scenery is just stunning. I'd imagine for a Norwegian commuter this is just another day, but this Australian is enthralled! Are those fences anti-rockfall dotted along the track?
Hello from Colorado
Hello there :D
Så vackert!
Tack så mycket :D
Excellent ... That was a great trip now I'm relaxed ! :) Time to go to bed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :):):)
Glad you enjoyed it 😃😃😃😃❤️
Reminds me of a trip from Kristiansand to Oslo many years ago. The trains have certainly upgraded since then. I remember an older car with a glass and flask of water mounted on the wall if you needed a drink. I live in the NE USA and the trains on our busiest commuter lines like the LIRR and NJ Transit are creaky, aged relics compared to the ones you run.
Ooh, that must have been the old class B5's and either FR3 or 5?
Yeah... wish the Government would see the value in mass transit, both the environmental benefit of it, and the betterment of air quality for the cities :D
Mean RCG not letting man and dog catch train!!! Left them behind, in the rain!!!😜
Everyone thought he was out jogging with his dog before we left the station. He was in reality 3 minutes late, and I'm pretty sure those already on the train was happy we arrived Bergen on time so they could catch their connections with busses and light rail :D
@@RailCowGirl He should have done what everyone does in Los Angele's subway and light rail systems, put his foot between the doors as it close to force the doors to open again and causes the doors to reopen and reset itself and delay the train.
@@Maxi3D In this case he never reached the train, but that behaviour you're talking about is very common on commuter trains in Oslo ;)
Some thing very creepy about walking through a bunch empty train cars, reminds me of that Steven King Langoliers movie. Oh and very nice camera and lens selection.
Now that it's fall, you can imagine how this feel when it's really foggy and dead quiet outside :D
@@RailCowGirl Ya the least they could do would be to park the train close so you don't have to walk so far. Or at least provide a concierge service for you.
LOL! It's not far at all :) And walking the distance is no problem... as well as being good for our health. Imagine not walking at all. LOL! That would have been challenging for our health.. especially when you add the fact that we work crazy hours and have irregular sleep and eating patterns.
Coulda been worse. Could've been the midnight meat train.
très nombreux tunnels merci de la balade !
Yes, there are many tunnels because there are many mountains here in the west :) Thank you so much for watching!
@@RailCowGirl excusez je ne parle pas anglais mais j'adore la norvege serais mon pays d'adoption je regarde souvent vos trajet voie ferrés merci (j'adore aussi les norvegiennes vous etent les plus jolies femmes)
very nice
Thanks!
Amazing video! Like!
Thank you very much!
...Very nice job! The "markers" are a great idea. If you ever wanted to utilize more of them forother points of interest, I suppose there'd be no limit to how many you could add.
I could add them all over the screen ;) The only thing is that I have to keyframe the position for each of them :D But yes, I might be adding more of those :D
For Tunnel it comes in :
8:26 - 11:12
12:51 - 13:36
16:11 - 16:50
23:00 - 25:17
26:22 - 26:56
30:34 - 34:55
35:32 - 35:36
39:44 - 40:08
45:11 - 46:14
48:31 - 49:00
49:16 - 49:32
50:15 - 50:41
52:42 - 52:57
55:32 - 1:00:54
1:02:49 - 1:04:21
1:04:32 I-> I lost count..
just enjoy the ride..
great video..
Great :D Tunnel at the end of the video is even longer :D
Yeeaaahhh..
Thats amazing..
I mean, watching entering tunnel and getting out the tunnel, give me a good vibe..
I lost my count about three quarter of the journey..
I finally saw the deer RCG. I kept looking in the trees for the "Flock" of deer but finally saw them when I looked for a herd of deer on the ground !!! lol
LOL! Thanks will remember that it is not a flock, but a herd for next time ;) hehehehe
@@RailCowGirl , yeah, ya know, this specialized plural wording drives me nuts. Why not just put an "s" on the end like we do for every inanimate object? Deers is a whole lot easier to remember than "a herd of deer"....... but, you would still need The Herd as in "RCG Herd". One example that bothers me though, who ever heard of a "murder" of crows? Who ever came up with that? And since the plural of mouse is mice, shouldn't the plural of moose be miice? There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. Just none.
RCG, in NORWEGIAN, what is one deer called, and what is a group of several deer called?
@@bruceb3786 Same with moose to meese, like goose and geese. English is confusing. LOL
@@aaronb7631 , I'm still confused. here's another one for you...... only yesterday did I learn that the "proper" plural of "brother" is "brethren", and for "sister" it's "sistren". No such "proper' words and "brothers" and "sisters". Yeah..... TRY to change me on that. I have brothers AND sisters. And further, I draw water from a "cistern" with a bucket on a rope. I'm done. ....... this thread is supposed to be about trains and "deers".
I haven't commented much lately. I just like to watch, with the train running on my 2nd 42" monitor as calming background, while I do my work on my 1st 42"monitor. But at the beginning of THIS trip, I watched in amazement as the train pulled out of the VOSS station going the wrong way...... not towards Bergen, as stated. BUT THEN, RCG switched ends of the consist to the OTHER engine ...... and proceeded to go in the correct direction ...... so all is well. Coffee time for my RCG mug (formerly HCG mug). Good morning.
Love it, Bruce :D I love it :D ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you're staying safe and healthy ❤️
@@RailCowGirl , yes indeed, hiding out, staying safe, wearing my mask when out, no gatherings, no parties, no groups, only grocery shop once every two weeks, then, when they first open, (first in, nearly first out), etc, etc. Not venturing about at ALL until I have The Vaccine. I am a Believer !! Usually I would drive my truck about 5,000 miles in 6 months. But this past 6 months due to CV19, it is less than 1,000. ( I now put preservative in the gasoline ~=! 8-) ). I have my R*C*G *** M*O*V*I*E*S and coffee !!!!... don't need much else. Truly. YOU stay safe Driver. YOU are a World Force !!!
Nice video.
Thanks!
@RailCowGirl Rain Or Shine, I Liked The Video. Also Gotta Love Star Wars.
These doors are not closed ;)
@@RailCowGirl Still I Liked The Video. Also, Did You Mean "The Trains Operate Rain Or Shine," By "These Doors Are Not Closed?"
Que hermoso trabajar asi en un pais con una estabilidad laboral,
en un pais con fuerte etica laboral y cultural.
Thank you for watching!
@@RailCowGirl muchas gracias por tu respuesta. Saludos desde Florencio Varela
Once again a calming commuter trip video, maybe it is that new darkgreen coloring on those (cheating) trains? :)
Btw, RCG, have you travel on that cable car on Voss? I've seen that so many times on your videos, at I get curious and then I just have to look if there is any vids on that too!
There is! What a scenery also!
If it is ok, I can past that link here in comment? :)
The equipment needed is on it's way and I will make a video of the that :D Want it to be just as epic as the rest of the content ;) hehehehe
40:36 My favorite spot. When you drive trough a boulder......
One hour of train journey... And 21 minutes walking inside the train, from one end to the other! 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! I must have stopped for a coffee at the coffee machine :p haha
@ Pablo, Yes, that is One Lloooooong train. I timed it too, 21 minutes is about right. 😁
I really look forward to you videos. I do have two thoughts, 1. is there a way to insert the name of the stops with voice? It would help those of us who don't speak Norwegian. 2 your videos bring a new meaning to the phrase "Tunnel Vision" LOL
The station names are automatically announced prior to each stop. You should be able to hear it in the video :D
watch in 1,5 play back speed in full screen....amazing thrilling
This train video was more enjoyable than season 7 of Game of Thrones...
WOOHOO!! :D
Thank You RCG!. Is it the station masters job to greet the trains or is that just Norwegian courtesy?
The station master must come out and show that he's there, and he gives me the clearance needed to leave the station as well :D
Jedi mind tricks opening the door - Yes!
These doors are not closed ;)
28:59 Yes river is very high!
Indeed it is. :)
4:10-5:30 feels like a 1st person videogame
Thank you for the Opening scenes It is a gorgeous passenger area AND the cab Luxury or what Bye the By I would like to know I see the sign for the whistle I never seem to see the reason ??? is it a foot crossing Thank you once again for a marvellous channel
Level crossing and foot crossings :D Used for unsecured crossings and where the line of sight to the crossing is not good enough :D
