December 21st marked the winter solstice here and the "shortest day" of the year, with only 5 hours and 40 minutes of daylight.
Note: This is the independent upload from which is streamed a couple just before new years.
I still experience issues when uploading files to youtube and they are working on fixing it. When this permanent fix will come is still unknown, but hopefully it will be sooner than later.
Explanation in short:
Films uploaded hardly get processed beyond 360p, even if they are 4K. After deleting and re-uploading several times, some passes and gets processed as 1080p. Sadly, 4K is now as rare as a unicorn. I just hope they can solve these issues soon, so please bear with me.

Another birthday present for me by You, dear Missis engineer, just just as You did last year. Then it was "working on the local". Now it is a longer ride inclusive great night aspects, too. You cannot know, of course, but exactly this darkest day is my birthday. But from then on, the days begin to last longer, a little bit for a little bit. Let´s enjoy that. Me, I did not enjoy this day that much. I became 64 years old, or young? Feel like 30, look (perhaps) like 50, but where do I stand I in realtity? Not so much reasons to be happy. So it was a good relief for me to be on the way on wonderful tracks in Norway looking over Your shoulder. Thank You! Immer gute Fahrt!

I find it amazing that on the first day of winter solstice there is so much snow on the ground. Had this much snow when I was a kid growing up. And did love it. But now lucky to get this much the whole winter. And thats no joke. Have seen no snow untill late Dec. And then only 3 to 4 inches. Norway is so LUCKY.

We know 'cuz of an engineer Whose middle name is Cow...ohhhhhh In and out, up and down, Flam run glides along. Tunnels, mountains, waterfalls, The journey's never long...ohhhhh See that sign!

@alejandrayalanbowman367
@alejandrayalanbowman367 5 лет назад
Loved the glaciers tumbling over the lineside rocks Did I spot a fixed signal/sign error? At 9:23 there is a sign for sounding the warning horn for a platform but what we approached at 9:39 was a level crossing and we did not encounter a platform until much later at 9:54. On that subject, many of us, your regular viewers, know what most/many of the signs and signals mean, newbies might be confused. Would it be possible on a few videos to actually add as sub-titles just what they mean? For example the green and flashing yellow when you came to a passing loop.

@koppadasao

It's not an error. The sign is for the halt, not the "level crossing" which is a private crossing for the farmer. If you look closely you can see the gate has been left open, something it's not suppose to be

@workonitm8

Horizontal bar is a crossing. Vertical bar is a platform. Horizontal bar crossed with a vertical bar is a crossing and platform.
@RailCowGirl
@RailCowGirl 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for watching! As @workonitm8 said, the horizontal line means there is a crossing ahead. The vertical line means there is a station or a halt, and both lines/cross means there are both. You can see both for example when approaching Finse or Bolstadøyri among others.

How is she to post videos of lines she doesn't run?! And, to me, the different vids of the same run are no different from my daily walks along the same country road. No two walks are just alike because Nature is never the same way twice. And, to me, that's part of the beauty of these runs is that they are out in wild Nature, so no two videos are the same, really. And the more I'm familiar with the route itself, the more I can focus on what Nature is doing that day.
