  • Always fun to run on "maiden" snow covered tracks up the Flåm valley on Aurland, Norway.
    This is the first train up from Flåm to Myrdal in the morning.
    In awesome 4K UltraHD resolution!
    Enjoy!

    We used to go cross country skiing in Hallingen, and every year they offered a day trip to the Flåm Railway. But if the weather was good we wanted to ski, and if it was cloudy/foggy/snowing there didn't seem much point in a scenic train journey. So we never went. I'm glad you made it possible to see what we missed!

    Being born and raised in the Midwest of the U.S. I'm no stranger to winter and have seen many snows in 70+ years but this is Magnificent. Those mountains are impressive. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us... this is as close as I'll ever get to Norway but it's so beautiful... I'll take it and I'll thank you again.

    The British pioneered railways but Scandinavians took it a great leap further. All those tunnels and cuttings, tracks seemingly clinging to mountains with a sheer drop on one side.Many feet of snow every winter, steep tracks both up and down. My hat goes off to the talented engineers who constructed this system

    @emilstrezov1445 Před 4 měsíci

    Hi, I'm an engineer of railways and locomotive driver at BDZ (Bulgarian State Railways), so these views are quite familiar to me. The most impressive thing is the slope of this line - 55‰ is toooo much! We have many mountain lines with 22-28‰, even main line 4 crosses the Balkan mountain from north to south with 33‰ for 20km up then 31‰ for 30 km down, almost no straight section and 26 tunnels from which No 23 is 2100m with more than 180°. There we haul freight trains of 1600-1800t with 3 engines (2 in front and 1 at rear). Although the line speed is 65 km/h we hardly achieve 15-20. In the winter it's a real nightmare. I pray not to stop. If i skid or stop - no go. Sand doesn't help. Several times I had to get the train back about 15-20 km to reach more even section. I wonder how you cope with such a terrible slope? Of course the passenger trains are much lighter (250-300t) but on your line it's still quite a weight!

    How wonderful - a rail cowgirl. I was, at one time, a horse cowboy (southeastern Montana), and I was not nearly as precise as you as far as staying on track (which we called "trails"). You have glorious mountains, rivers, and fiords. We had rattlesnakes. We didn't have pigs but some ranches did. None were as cute as your logo-pig, although their eyes were a bit more uncrossed. You're an excellent ambassador for Norway - a beautiful and treasured place. Thanks for the great videos. Press on.

    What to do in a pandemic? Well, you can't really travel, but ... you can still enjoy being on a train in Norway--in the best seat too. lol Thanks for posting these great videos.

    North of Scandinavian like a wonder, god tears and it freeze into white flurry rocket to cover Scandinavia and give the white peace wonderland 🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮, love from Canada
    Fun fact: Canada has 2-3 times more snow than north of Scandinavia, also the temperature is much lower, this scale of snow in your video is common in big Toronto area (south of Ontario, one of the warmest place in Canada) during November to April
