  • Stormy winter conditions on the mountain pass this day for the Regional Train between Bergen and Oslo. The trains on the Bergen Line travers one of the most inhospitable winter environments in Norway. The weather can go from pure sunshine to deadly winter storm in matter of minutes. The roads and air traffic usually stop long before the Railway is deemed too dangerous. This is thanks to the awesome people working day and night to keep the line open under these treacherous conditions.
    For me the trip starts at Voss operating the train over the mountain pass to Ål in Hallingdal where another driver takes over.
    CHAPTERS:
    0:00:00 Voss - Gjerdåker
    0:04:10 Gjerdåker - Ygre (snow starts to stick Ygre station 168m above sea level)
    0:06:02 Gjerdåker - Kløve
    0:08:41 Kløve - Urdland
    0:12:46 Urdland - Øyeflaten
    0:14:31 Øyflaten - Skiple (Tracks are now almost covered with snow)
    0:17:22 Skiple - Reimegrend (Tracks are now completely covered with snow)
    0:20:00 Reimegrend - Mjølfjell (Looks like flying over carpet of snow and the plow starts to take)
    -- Start of mountain pass--
    0:27:15 Mjølfjell - Ljosanbotn (Mjølfjell marks the start of the mountain pass. Plow tosses snow)
    0:30:54 Ljosanbotn - Ørneberget (Headlights starts to get bad because they're covered with snow)
    0:32:53 Ørneberget - Vieren (lots of snow and we're about 700m above sea level)
    0:35:01 Vieren - Upsete (now the plow really starts to toss snow around)
    0:37:00 Upsete - Myrdal (getting harder to see)
    0:41:08 Myrdal - Hallingskeid (Very windy and snow starts to come over the front blinding us)
    0:54:54 Hallingskeid - Finse (headlights almost useless, snow constantly coming over the front)
    1:05:27 Finse - Haugastøl (Finse was the filming location for Hoth in Star Wars: Empire strikes back)
    1:25:22 Haugastøl - Ustaoset (The sun is not big, it's the light that is reflecting on the ice crystals)
    1:34:31 Ustaoset - Geilo (some EXTREME drift hitting snow plow action exiting Ustaoset)
    -- end of mountain pass --
    1:43:52 Geilo - Ål (safe and sound down from the mountain pass)

      I tell you sometime it did felt like a never ending chore but mostly it felt right, I don't know how to put it, but everything else after a hard day of working the warmth of the stove and home cooked food felt so rewarding you would do everything again just for that moment.

      @@DacianWarrior Actually, I can understand how you felt that warmth and camaraderie after a days work and a home cooked meal. Sitting by a warm fire and chatting sounds really quaint to me.
      I'm not a winter person, though I live on the upper East Coast of the US where we have it. I do enjoy the warmer months and enjoy mowing and trimming the trees and anything else that needs done, and then relaxing in the evening after a hard days work and enjoying how beautiful it looks. I live near a large City, but our family has a getaway home on 55 acres in the country, so my weekends are spent in the country and not here near the City. I have the best of both Worlds now.
      I do remember going to someones camp in the mountains in the wintertime, and coming in to a fire and sitting on a large wooden rocking chair. The memory of that time is very sweet, so I can somewhat relate to what you yearn for from those days.
      I will tell you as I've told many people who have great memories. Always always be grateful you had the opportunity to experience those beautiful thought and experiences. Not everyone has those kind of memories and would yearn to have them. so, you are fortunate. Plus, many say they wish for the good ol days, yet, they don't realize that at this very moment, and even for yourself, you may be living in the good ol days, because you may look back and think about the times you are experiencing right now. 👍

    I love how Norwegian trains just keep on going even in snow drifts, here in the UK a heavy frost and the train service in thrown into complete disarray, with cancellations delays and breakdowns. Well done Norway.

    • @hermanrobak1285
      @hermanrobak1285 Před 4 lety +4

      I've gotten the impression that Brits are in a sort of denial about winter. Although winters are generally less severe in the UK than in the Norwegian highlands, snowfall and freezing temperatures are hardly unheard of. Yet UK architecture and infrastructure have a reputation for beeing unprepared for winter.
      I guess they kept a stiff, albeit shivering upper lip, and muddled through. In Norway, the stubbornly unprepared were likely to die off.

Love the little houses here and there & I imagine the the people inside, reading a book or just looking out the windows with a cosy fire burning. Would love to live somewhere like that, it looks peaceful.

    Captivating. Hypnotic!
    When I read "Stormy" conditions, I first expected some snow : many youtubers use exaggerated terms to clickbait us. And when I saw the beginning, I thought "He calls a few snowflakes a storm?". But when the train gets to the summit of the pass, I admit it is quite a storm. The real thing!
    Thanks for no comment, no music, no special effects... You just put us there. And that is exactly a "Trains Driver's View".

      If you loved this, perhaps you'll also love the Genova-Ventimiglia line, especially the section between Finale Ligure and Andora where the line runs right next to the sea! If you are in the train when there's a sea storm, it looks like you are travelling on a boat but the boat is perfectly stable :D
      Sadly they're tearing it down and replacing it with a tunnel inland (thankfully the aforementioned section is here to stay because Albenga's inhabitants don't want to walk 7 km to catch their train after they will move the station inland). But on CZcams you can find cabrides from all sorts of eras, even this one from the 1950s: czcams.com/video/dqJoA7Tpybg/video.html
