Great to see the first part of the journey on the Oslo to Bergen line. Brings back memories

These old videos are part of this history, and you are part of this history too. Thanks a lot for these gifts 👏👏👏

Having seen a few videos of trips like this, including on this line, I was struck at how this one made me fell more like a tourist. Making our way out of Oslo on a bright day, and enjoying the green hills all the way to our destination, made me feel like I was on a genuine holiday.😎🌿⛱🌤

Norway looks like a cool place to visit. Those terminals are awesome. Norwegians, be proud of what you have there.

So far thru 19:30, other than the tunnel, the video is quite clear. I love the part where the train is made up in the yard, then brought into the station - don't get to see that too often in the videos! And the EL18 is such a quiet locomotive! Wonderful stuff. Dog

Cityscape to mountainscape and almost everything in between all in one journey. Wonderful! ☺☺☺☺☺☺

I have recently subscribed to your channel. And I decided to watch all your videos, starting from the earliest ones.

I’m so glad that deer at 1:15:50 cleared the track okay. My heart was in my mouth. Great video as usual, absolutely stunning country.

During the video broadcast, I learned the road sign that informs the driver of the electric locomotive about the sound signal before the unregulated crossing. Yellow square with black stripe

Very enjoyable. Beautiful country! Thank you for posting this.

Thank you. This is one of the best films of the Oslo to Al service I have seen. The making up of the train in the train yard was particularly interesting I have viewed this film many times and find new details each time. Best Wishes Ray.

日本に住む鉄道ファンです✨ 素敵な動画でしたのでチャンネル登録しました

Nice video. In second half: " fifty shades of green". 😉 3:19:00 - "That's Ål, folks"

I watched this video once before I joined the channel.Thank you for the upload. Wonderful video as always!

What a wonderful landscape and colors, *_HCG_* !!! 🌷🌿🐮😃👏😊🙏🐮🌿🌷

Veľmi prekrásne natočené video 😉😉😉😉. Perfektné super 😃😃😃😃. Pozdravujem srdečne zo Slovenska 😉😉😉😉😉.

Thks for sharing this. Great memories of my backpacker ride Oslo to Bergen then onto Lofoten Islands

A really terrific film from a railway fan in Northern Ireland

What beautiful, lush green and yellow fields! Love the mountains, and the rivers/lakes are pristine. Thanks for the upload!

Everywhere is so neat and tidy and clean. Amazing people. Beautiful country.

A wonderful experience of watching this video from drivers eye view..especially passing through tunnels.

I did this RU-vid trip both ways a few years back, once in winter and once in summer...awesome experience if you can't travel. I've recommended it to several people traveling to Norway.

Another great video and lovely country. Please keep them coming!

beautiful views..

Besides the deer already mentioned, there's a moose (I guess) at 03:06:00 on the right side of the track. Thanks for the beautiful videos!

Viagem maravilhosa.Muito agradecida,por poder viajar por lugares tão exuberantes,com uma natureza tão rica, criada pelo nosso Pai Eterno. Muito,muito agradecida por postar tão maravilhoso vídeo.

I've been watching your videos for a while and was wondering when you'd update your channel. Great job. Thanks.

Amazing journey!!!!! I can´t wait to watch part Two (Al to Bergen)

Longest tunnels ever...I woke up at 44 minutes because the train stopped for a while....O.o...Great video thanks...

Great Ride, Beautiful Video, Thank You!

Excellent views, deer crossing the rail road at 1:15:53

The rolling fields and farmhouses look much like those here in the U.S. So beautiful!

i realy enjoyed watching this thank you

Hello. Congratulations on video, beautiful landscapes and also the rail network, very well organized. I see your video in 1080p HD - Chrome, the picture is clear.

13:45 Elisenberg ghost station Wikipedia: Elisenberg Station (Norwegian: Elisenberg stasjon) is an unfinished railway station within the Oslo Tunnel on the Drammen Line in Oslo, Norway. The ghost station was partially built during the construction of the tunnel between 1971 and 1980, but has never been put into use. It is located between Nationaltheatret Station and Skøyen Station, at Elisenberg in Frogner. A 220-meter (720 ft) long center platform and part of the access way has been built, but never completed. While the station initially was not put into use because of lack of funds to complete it, it is now unlikely that it will ever be completed, as the need for a station has disappeared and an opening would need a large investment of funds.

Wow your country is very beautiful.Please make more videos,I loved it.

As always awesome video.

Beautiful video, thank you.

Names of stations would be helpful so you could see where it was on maps. Otherwise a very good video.

great vid even better 2nd time round happy easter bob.

Hi, almost finished viewing. Was trying to figure out border of Norway and Sweden...or?? Would have been nice to have subtitles and names of stations. Great video. Hope to see more of your stuff we are subscribed. I think I may have viewed the connected video to this one some time ago,.

Lovely Video Thank You.

that's really marvellous

Thanks for uploading !

What a difference 5 years makes both in video quality and ridership (seems like a lot less crowds at the stops) these days.

Oh my... Is that deer that crossing railway at 1:15:52? Right in front of the train!!!

many thanks

Thank you for a taking me in a very nice travel :D

Great Landscape!

Anybody else see the deer jump off the tracks to the right at about 1:15:54?

Please keep your Uninterrupted rail videos coming. Watching each one is beautiful and helps me meditate and relax. My complements to your track team, those roadbeds seem perfect. Jim in Philadelphia

I forgot to mention that somewhere along the track is a three car work train that rolled off the track down a bank. It's at a point where the train has to go real slow round a tight bend.

I'm amazed at the acceleration from standstill..... is it loco only or are there any cars? really nice ride.... thanks!

Good video. I notice at 2 30 56 there is building that is round I take to have been a tower if it was/is it the only round tower I ever saw.

Epensar que nomeu Brasil enorme esse transporte de passageiros é esquecido.

superbe video.

Sure is a lot of travelling through those dark tunnels. Are they through mountains or just below residential areas?

What a great journey! Thank you very much for sharing. I noticed the loco was an EL18, do you know the weight of the composition (or in alternative the number of coaches)?

SEE VIEW i like it Thank you 🗻..

Is this locomotive El 18? It sounds just like VR Sr2 when accelerating and braking.

HinduCowGirl, let me be the first to say thank you so much for taking me on the best journey of my life! The scenery is so beautiful. I love long train rides. You're so lucky to ride this awesome train cab in Norway. This is a stupid question, but are some of the train stations closed permanently? I noticed it when it bypassed the stops.

22:50 looks like the train jumped the tracks and took off down a highway...lol

What type camera did you use? I'm watching this in 480p and the quality is still very good.

Really nice scenery, anyway you can redo or re-upload it to youtube-? Also which camera/lens were used-? Thankyou.

This video gave me tunnel vision.

Anybody knows what are the white cylinders on the left / right of the track 1:23:05

Very nice clip! I work as "tågklarerare" (togekspeditör) in Sweden. Any chance you could record the new double track section along Mjösa? I can't find anything of that on RU-vid. :)

@dana Mack: that's odd. I uploaded it as 1080p might take some time to process it used almost 9 hours from finished upload until it finally showed up in the stream :) I will look into it :D

Nice video

2:41:15 - Someone you know in that house? :) Final score: Train: 2, Birds: 0. Love watching videos like this, but on 2 x the speed.

VERY GOOD.

très belle vidéo - dommage que le nom des gares ne soit pas indiqué , on aurait put reviser notre géographie merci

wonder if its difficult to change work to tram or traindriver at the age of 34+ from busdriving

v.nice

13:49 is that the unfinished Elisenberg Station on the left?

Anyhow, beautiful scenery - what type of locomotive was it? Thanks, Dog

Hi: The first minute or so are really crisp but then 20 minutes in you can really see that the video becomes blurry. I don't know what happened. Thanks for looking into it. Dog

1:21:52 and 1:26:03 RIP birds 😟

Hi: I don't know if you were aware of this, but as usually your videos are good quality HD, you might wish to know this one is only at 360p, not high quality. I really want to watch the video, but in HD. It would be a great video and a nice long one! Can you advise? Thanks, Dog

328 ton is the weight for the cars itself. The loco is 96 ton.424 ton is the total weight for the whole train. Its 227 m long and the breaking % is 147. Eatch car is 26 m long and the loco is 19 m long.

nice

Look at 0:00 and compare that to 10:26, even at 10:12 before you entered the tunnel it was sharper than 10:26. Dog

This train seems bouncy. I think I'd get sea sick. :)

What train is it?

Trying to figure out how long it would take for a conductor to recognize if someone was walking on the railroad tracks in front of them. If anyone has any information on how much time a conductor would normally have to blow the whistle when spotting someone, that would help. Also, how fast is the train going between 38:39 and 38:58?

may i use a couple of clips from this for a music video i'm making for my nephew?

Hei! Skal du ut å kjøre i påsken? Hadde vært moro med en cabride over Roa :-)

I'm not understanding the point of the horn. Around the 1:30:00 area there's a lot of horn usage but doesn't really seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Crossings are scarce and I can't see any obstructions on the track ahead. Any thoughts as to what's going on?

Un venado a 1:15:54

What are the strobe like lights in the tunnels

Jeeezz, must be costly to lay tracks in Norway with all the tunnels needed?

muito bom

At 1:53 I thought he ran out of petrol and forgot to fill up.

nishioka.com/trainmap/7o7ecadHJmU.html is a page I built to show the position of this train on Google Maps.

Hi: Here is an example from another author at 1080p that is crisp - I wonder if it is your camera, but I doubt it since your video from Halden to Oslo was sharp: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WC9DH2l1vtU.html&feature=em-uploademail [cabinerit] A train driver's view: Alkmaar - Den Bosch, VIRM, 18-Jun-2015. Still a nice video - perhaps you can reload it and see what happens? Dog

Hi, I see a yellow shield with a horizontal black mark in its centre. What does that shield mean?
