Hej. Hittade detta av misstag och fastnade direkt, underbart och pedagogiskt med att du förklarar vad alla signaler betyder, imponerande superkvalitet på bilderna ett + att få njuta av den fina naturen. Är lite av en tågfreak och tittar ofta på videor från Norge & Sverige. Ser fram emot flera videor.
Hej. Tack så mycket for kommentaren! Jeg lærer fortsatt om videoredigering. Jeg må stadig se CZcams videoer om hvordan jeg skal få til ting. Så det går tregt! Men jeg har flere videoer i kø for redigering. En fra Kongsvinger til Karlstad også.
It´s nice to see this first video of a new ride from you. I like the drone recordings very much! So you get a good overview of the countryside and the train too. Your explanations complement the picturs perfectly and make the special appeal of your videos. Thank you for upload and I am already looking forward to the further course of the journey.
Thank you for commenting! I like feedback. So ill find more use of drone. In the upcoming part 3 there will be some drone flying over a big yard where trains are getting serviced and parked.
Thx Ane! i will be editing a vid about Solørbanen soon. It just takes so long to fully edit my videos. Part because im a noob, part because i wanna put so much stuff in them, hehe. Stay tuned :D And thx for commenting. Always nice to read.
The freight trains here in Canada are usually 200 cars long about 2 km & have maybe 5 locomotives including 1 in the middle. Thanks for posting video. Very educational.
Thx for your comment! 2km! thats insane :D In Norway the max limit is 850m, but there are not many that long. We have short stations and difficult landscape for long and heavy trains :P
Ahhh, so THAT is what the line looks like on that mysterious track curving northbound out of Hønefoss ! Viewers of a certain other channel (maybe you don't want me to mention the name) have been along for the ride on the other three routes several times, so for this train nut, it's great to finally see part of the fourth one. (And if you ever know that you will be going farther north on this branch, don't hesitate to bring your camera!) I will definitely be looking forward to the rest of this trip.
Thx for you comment! If you follow the tracks on google earth you see they go quite a bit up there. A friend of mine drives to the factory up there called Spenncon. Where they make concrete railroad sleepers. Maybe i can fly closer with my drone. Thx for the tip.
Greetings from California. I just joined your channel. I watch videos from 2 other train drivers in Norway. They are both in passenger service so it’s a nice change of pace to see some freight operations. As others have mentioned, I prefer hearing the sounds of the locomotive instead of music. I really enjoy all the maps and drone shots. It really puts things into perspective. Thanks for posting. If you can attach filters to your camera lens, try a polarizing filter. By turning the ring on the filter, you can remove unwanted reflections. Have a good one! Dave
Nice video! I visited the area (Follum), where the timber terminal is, about twenty years ago. There was a pulp mill then wich is now all gone. As I used to work in one of the two big cartoon board factories in western Sweden it is nice to to see where some of the "Norwegian Wood" comes from.
Thanks for your comment! So cool that you worked there! Its not much activity there now. Im currently editing the second part now. Just takes a long time due to all the stuff i wanna put in there.
Thanks for an interesting freight video. Can't believe all that timber to be freighted someplace. I have longed for some video of cargo (containers) being transferred from docks to trains. Have seen some from docks to trucks. Also what has happened to Thor? Has he quit videoing or returned from driving? Thanks again we are a new subscriber from Australia.
Ah, a nice ride through the Norwegian countryside would be relaxing with the quiet sounds of the Locomotive and steel wheel on steel rails to accompany that countryside heading east from Honefoss.
Thank you Sharon, glad you like it! I'm currently learing how to drive Traxx/BR185 from Bombardier (they got several names depending on the company they service) Exam is tomorrow :D
Thanks for posting, and thanks for your excellent explanations of the little details of the operations. One question: if you are in your locomotive at the front which is pulling, and your colleague at the back is pushing, how do you coordinate between each other?
Hi, and thx for commenting. Often the back driver knows when to push. Its only necessary up the "steapest" hills. But most times we communicate via our mobile phones. We can also use the train radio. Railways in Europe got their own GSM network. It works everywhere there is a track :D
Hi, thx for you comment! That is a little locomotive used for shunting movement at the old factory wich the timber terminal is located at. Not been used for a very long time.
I like these videos, nice to see fright operations. Any reason why you do not use Randsfjordbanen/Gjøvikbanen to Oslo? I thought that is the preferred freightcorridor?
Hi, and thx for your comment! We use that too. You are thinking about the Roa-Hønefoss line. The one im driving on now is actually the Randsfjordbanen. Shown here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randsfjorden_Line And I am going to put up a video from Roa-Hønefoss aswell. You can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roa%E2%80%93H%C3%B8nefoss_Line Editing takes so long for me. Im kinda new to my edit program (Davinci Resolve) And i wanna add new stuff all the time that i should not :D
Hi and thx for your question. My company is normally at this timber terminal 6 days a week. There are other companies there as well . Our arrival is 3 in the morning, and departure is at 1900. We have a minimum of 8 hour break on these trips.
Hooked! Lining up the next episode now for some binge watching lol. Technical question for you: What was the total tonnage of your load or did I miss that?
Hi Andy and Thx for asking. From Hønefoss vi have 21 wagons and two locos. Each wagon is almost 82 metric tonnes, and locomotive is 90. So total is around 1900T
Nice video, and good commentary. Interesting to see how things work over there. The drone footage was defenitly a bonus! I'm visiting Hønefoss soon and would like to photograph some trains over there, especially the Cargonet trains. I saw in other videos that freight trains stop there a lot, is there a driver or loc change for in the mountains? Or is it just a busy corridor.
Thx so much for your comment. I know Cargonet got facilities there. We used them when i was a student in 2016. How they do it with the drivers now days i dont know. I have seen some Cargonet drivers at the hotel in Hønefoss tho. I dont know if you are norwegian or knows about alot of railroad stuff, but im planning to do a video about our tools as drivers. One of those are called "graphical routes" Its not easy to read if you have not seen them before, but this one is from Hønefoss to Bergen today www.banenor.no/dailygraphs/2021/20210605/DG_286.pdf
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 I work for the railway in Belgium. But I have never seen a graphical route like that. It's a good idea to make a video about tools for drivers, it would be interesting to watch!
@@thenorwegiantraindriver4788 Is the graphical route chart a way to visualize gradients, curve speeds, station locations and other route particulars that affect how you will operate your train? We use something similar called a Timetable in the USA, but it's not as simplified as what a passenger might get. Our timetable shows a lot of information, like maximum speeds through certain areas, lengths of passing tracks, authorized operating limits, mountain gradients and much more.
@@stevenjohnson7086 Hi Steven. Graphical routes is just an advanced timetable mostly used by train leaders/dispatcher. Here is an ex from the Solor line test.banenor.no/dailygraphs/2022/20220216/DG_25.pdf time is top and bottom line, stations in vertical column. Trains are the skewed line in the diagram.
Hei, flott med dronebildene, men du må gjøre en "fly - by" av deg selv med dronekontrollen i handa så vi virkelig kan se på deg når du er ute og flyr litt. Flyr du virkelig over stasjone omrade ? Jeg ville trodd at Vy (eller Cagonet var engstlige for droner over høyspent nettet) Kommer til og se mer etter filmsnuttene dine og du var flink med forklaringene dine og kartene, med hilsen Harald K
Heeey Jon. Welcome to the channel, and thx for commenting! That blue thingy is a little shunting loco. Its been parked there for many years now. I went into it and it is in decay. So will just be standing there forever i think...
Nice video once again! Do you happen to know Tf on Tour (czcams.com/users/TfonTour)? He's a German Hectorrail co-worker of yours doing similar vlogs (in German).
Its amazing to think those locos pull all that weight! Thank You for your efforts. JB
Yeah. The acceleration is crap tho :D
Enjoyed the operational narration. Keep it up.
Thx for comment and kind words George!

hyggelig musikk du har lagt inn !! Harald K
Nice video, but please don't add music. It's so much more soothing listening to the locomotive and the other sounds from the tracks :)
Hi and thanks for the feedback. Yeah maybe you are right. If ppl want music they can mute and put on some of their own.
Same here. Natural train sounds are fine with me. Jon in USA.

Hvor langt vest kjører dere i Hector? Er Hønefoss lengst unna?
Jepp, pr nå er det Hønefoss.
For the part where the dashboard reflected in the windshield, you could put a black towel over it.
Yeah, i started using a dark tower under it. That helped some, and worked as a safty net for my camera :P
