TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Oslo - Ål (with engine and carriage pickup) 

yes, same good for my health too, I meditate with these fantastic driver's view videos. Thanks HinduCowGirl

Игорь Орловский мне не так много лет, но я тоже явно ощутила лечебное воздействие этого видео))

It's my Medicine also. Pharmaceutical companies can't beat it.

The best medicine for high blood pressure, and stress. With no side affects!

Huge thank you uploading these!

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you :D

Did you get to watch this?

Yes I did.

FERROVIE DEL TRENTINO 90p9

iie

These strobes markes the location of emergency rooms and exits :D Thank you for al the love

(1) yes, it cuts the travel time in half. (2) those "isolated" homesteads are cabins, and Norwegians are all about their cabins. (3) You should come here and experience it. Hiking here is exceptional :D

Namaste! One more question: the signs that require you to honk your horn sometimes have an obvious reason, but there are many where there is no visible reason to honk, and others where there are homes close to the track, but no sign to give a warning. I'm missing something here, but what? The Norwegian Tourist people should give you a reward for your camera work!.

Woman ;)

sorry ... women are less youtubing trains, so i thought that way

congratulations , being a women you make better cab views than men ;)

Pak Raillion haha! ❤️

Ken Provus Try this link, and you will find all the stations (stops) between Oslo - Ål. www.nsb.no/reisemal/regionstrekninger/bergensbanen

It's the way you have to do if you want to couple passenger wagons with a chain coupler. If you just put the coupler on without first pressing the buffers with the locomotive, as soon as the locomotive ceases to power and starts braking (especially if using dynamic/regen braking) the poor passengers will be jostled around :D

Actually it's a practice that's been abolished serveral places because of the risk of giving the worker a deathly hug.

Its common throughout the world. In United States u guys have different types of coupling.. us couplers locks up automatically , but fot the most part of the world passenger train coupling is done with a chain and a tensioner... The guy was in between the loco to save time and its safe enough , unless the loco pilot just rams the coaches and maybe crush the guy but most of the time this doesn't happen.

+relicguzzidog the trip is about 228km. The line speed varies between 60 and 160kph :)

No.

+Dana Mack hello Dana. I have some mote footage from a seldom SUNNY ride from Bergen to Ål! I just haven’t had the time to compile it :) soon :D

That is great news! Seldom sunny? Rainy or just cloudy? Regards.

How is the new video coming along?

How is the new video coming along - still have not had the time to upload it? Thanks for your reply! Regards.

They are not turned off in the tunnels. It's a combination of shutterspeed/ISO and aperture, as well as the bad headlights on this engine.

ah thanks, Initially I thought you probably wanted to capture the lighting effects inside tunnels :)

Or the sound was edited due to a conversation with the traffic controller :D

They mark the emergency shelters and exits. :)

Takker!

Hey SlyCat, Not a dumb question at all. We have a schedule we follow. It tells where to stop and when we are supposed to be there. Some stops are marked with an X in our schedule, which means on demand. We only stop on those station if the conductor tells us that there is no one getting off, and we have to be sure to be able to stop if someone wants to get on :D Well, the latest Amtrak accident seems to be BNSF problem, since they have yet to install PTC (Positive Train Control) on their rolling stock. It's horrible either way, belive me, we are watching all these accidents happening left and right. There has also been an increase in accident here in Europe as well. Mysteriously it happens as things are getting privatized... one can wonder if it happens due to reduction of safety standards to cut costs and increase revenue. A very very very dangerous path to go down. Stay safe and God bless :D

Tyvm for info. your right something sure is gong on. You be safe and thanks again for you videos. Now to watch my daily addiction ha ha --your videos love them. Safe travels ahead God bless.

+Dana Mack this is the EL18. The video is from the national broadcasting company called NRK. It was the thing that kicked off the whole Slow-TV epidemic 😂 You see the Type73 to your left. That type does not service the Bergen line anymore, due to the conditions in the mountains. It was too light.

Thanks! Seems like the EL18 is the work-horse of the NSB! By the way, any word on that new video you have still to upload? Thanks again!

+Dana Mack it’s one of them ;) Will make a new video as soon as I’m off again. Been crazy times here. Was supposed to do this weeks ago.

Being published as soon as youtube has encoded 1080p and 2K :D

Great - what is the route and locomotive etc...?

Loco picup in Bergen, and long haul to Aal. All sunshine, no bad weather. Haha! HD is still not available. Will publish as soon as youtube makes it available.

😂😂😂😂

Appears to be about 15 seconds before an unguarded level crossing, designated by a yellow diamond with a horizontal black bar.

That's correct (From a railway worker at Hønefoss)

There are no gears. Everything is controlled through the frequency in the magnetic field in the engine :)

HinduCowGirl Ah, I see, that's good engineering. Tried to look it up and NSB has a lot of data on the EL18, weight, power, top speed and asynchronous, three fase engine, but I stilled though - since there's a lot of mass to accelerate from zero - that gears might be needed. Didn't know the frequency can be controlled. Thanks for your uploads, love them. 😄🍀🍀❤️

+Coolkeys2009 it can :)

You can see the speed limit on the trackside signals :) triangles with numbers :)

HinduCowGirl yea i know but it would be much easier for the viewwer if there was a constant speed edited on the screen. like on dulevoz's videos (check him out he does cabview videos in serbia)

There are 140 speed changes one line. It would be a massive job going in doing that each time. From Bergen to Voss: 30 - 105 - 130 - 100 - Arna - 80 - 100 - 75 - 50 - 60 - 50 - Trengereid - 130 - 75 - 50 - 60 - Vaksdal - 100 - 70 - 100 - 60 - 55 - 85 - 65 - Stanghelle - 80 - 100 - 80 - 60 - Dale - 70 - 130 - 120 - Bolstadøyri - 80 - 70 - 80 - 110 - 130 - 80 - Evanger - 75 - 85 - 90 - 70 - 40 - Bulken - 40 - 130 - 90 - 60 - Voss.... It would be a massive job, and I would not be able to keep posting each week :( As with Dulevoz, who does not post each week. It's a balance. :/

There was another Traxx hauled CargoNet container train pass at 2:04:27

11km, called "Lieråstunnelen" (The Lier hill tunnel)

Several places :) all around Oslo

+Ethan Campbell yep :) it’s the norwegian edition of the RE460.

Hey SlyCat, That is a water tower. These were used when they were running steam engines on the Bergen line. It used to have a nozzle you could swing out and refill the tank on the loco. Now there is only a few of these left standing around the network.

Thought so it looked so old just had to ask :) still standing strong I see. Reminds me of the good old days. ty for answering.

Yes I am :D What gave me away? Hehehhe :D

HinduCowGirl I began wondering at the second video I watched. 1. Camera steadily centralized 2. No small talking. 3. Posting a video without mentioning the route, let alone the country. 4. The matter of fact titles But you had me guessing like crazy until we reached the first town on the first one where I asked: Where! (Could it be Japan? No, the houses are wrong! Switzerland? Again, none of the characteristics houses? And your username threw me too. Sweden? Nah, rails too smooth for the mountainous regions and farmhouses too well kept! Germany? Austria? Norway?) Anyway, none of this will happen with enthusiastic train buffs on their vacation. Then I watched my third video of yours and you entered the cabin and routinely switched on the engine and picked up various wagons, you were sooo busted by Sherlock Holmes reincarnated - although my ego deflated significantly when I saw the last page of your channel. You already told us up front... 🐘

This is the best deduction I've ever seen! :D

HinduCowGirl Kind of you to say so, but Sherlock would have checked the cannel info first 😔

HinduCowGirl How did you come up with your funny username? Any relations to India? Cows, err, I mean farming? Anyway, it's very nice - like everything else on your channel.

Then the train stops due to lack of engagement with the SIFA-system.

+Nelson Miller RU-vid hasn’t processed the HD yet. It will be available as soon as youtube had finished processing it

The most loyal subscriber always watch 360p.

Ah, but waiting for the best is always a sure winner. Thank you RU-vid for getting it processed. All I had to do was sleep on it!

IMHO that would detract from the experience.

+Dana Mack this looks more like the DI4 :) The cam would be much more to the center on a type93.
