It's a sunny spring afternoon on the Bergen Line and today I'm hauling a freight train from the Terminal in Bergen to Ål, where it will be a crew change. The train will continue to Alnabru freight terminal in Oslo. Composition of the train is:
2x Bombardier TRAXX F160 AC3, 17 cars totalling 616m and 1343 tonns. Maximum speed allowed with this composition is 100km/h.

The shift starts at 5pm at the Terminal in Bergen where we assemble the tran and do the break testing before heading off. Departure time is 7:12pm and arrival at Ål is 11:08pm. This time of year it never gets really dark in Norway.

The big difference in this video compared to others I have done, is that you get to see the coupling between loco and cars and not to mention that I've swapped out the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K for a Sony FX3. A huge difference when it comes to noise and visibility in the tunnels. There shalt never be darkness again.

  • Back on the train with RailCowGirl. If you don't enjoy this, well I feel sorry for you. If you upset, this will relax you. If you are having problems sleeping, the sound of the train will help you get to sleep. If you want scenic travel at its best, here it is.
  • This lady has her priorities straight ALWAYS make sure the coffee gets aboard first. The rest will take care of itself.
  • I'm looking at the insane 4K picture quality and am thinking you must be relieved that you don't have to upgrade your cameras any more because this is as good as you can get! Is it? Thank you for the investment you make in your time and money to bring us such amazing work!
  • @Elvenhome
    Wow simply wow. The image quality is spectacular. So good to see the route in better weather and, after so long with various amounts of lock down, with more people out and about. The time to record and edit this alone must have been substantial, without the problems getting this to upload. The scenery is as stunning as ever of course, but in even more detail. Thanks so much for doing this.
  • I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. During my Navy career I have been to Trondheim and Hammerfest in 1976 and Bergen in 1994. I haven't been to Norway's interior. After completing this video, MY GOD! What a wondrously beautiful country you have! Absolutely stunning! Thank you for this!
  • @plume...
    Thank you!!! It's actual 60fps footage with no stutter!! Thanks for sorting that out RailCowGirl :)
  • I've been watching RCG since the channel had a different name, and I am very impressed with the stunning quality of the video in this post and of course, the spectacular landscape. Somehow you've managed to take the quality to a new height. RCG you do all of us a great service with these extraordinary videos. Thank you! Cheers.
  • I told my mom who is 93 years old that I was subscribed to, and watched your channel. She was delighted at what you do!
  • This was definitely worth the wait. The views in the bright sunshine are just stunning. And the details are as crisp as I’ve ever seen. Great work, and thank-you.
  • After all the difficulties you encountered uploading this episode I'm glad to see to all finally worked out. Thank you RailCowGirl...
  • Thanks! RCG… you are a true professional in every way possible. The effort you put forth is very much appreciated. Your video quality is at the highest scale. Looking forward to your continuing travels! THANK YOU! 🌈🎉
  • Your videos are so good and so interesting, I almost feel as if I've actually visited Norway. If I was younger and healthier, I'd book a ticket as soon as possible and spend some time exploring Norway. Your videos made me want to see more of this wonderful country.
  • Fantastic new quality ! I think I have now watched all your older videos, and enjoyed them immensely. Thank you for doing all this work. I'm proud to be a new supporting member. My brother (just retired), father and grandfather all drove trains in Germany. Josef drove steam, Hans electric, and Wolfgang electric and diesel. No FLIRT, they seem to prefer the Siemens train in Germany. Riding along next to the "number 1 seat" was always a great experience. Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof was tricky, it's like Oslo Sentralstasjon where you end up sitting right in front of all the people at the terminal, and the Railroad Police frown on ride-alongs. I had always bought a ticket beforehand, which kept me out of trouble with the Deutsche Bahn. Lots of similarities with VY in signaling and train operation. Not at all similar to Norfolk-Southern, which has trains passing near my house every day here in Georgia, USA. Ride safe always !:_cowLvlxing:(horn blow)
  • Super Video, Thank you for uploading. Norway is a beautiful land.👍👍👍👍👍
  • @tommy7978
    Hey Terry, been watching your videos for some time now. I’ve been following Millis since 1995. I was bummed when they sold to Heartland. They were paying far above industry avg for newbies back in the day and had decked out trucks. A true testament when comparing mom and pop companies against publicly traded companies. I got my Class A permit and had a start date with MTI but landed a job as a conductor with CSX before my start date, so I went with the RR. I’ve day dreamed about driving for them ever since lol. Looking forward to watching your new journey
  • What can I say?? This was well worth waiting for. After all the stress, you have gone through, this is the reward for both of us. I am picking a few things out: Your new camera and lens pays off! The picture is incredibly harp. Also, you chose a perfect day for recording this ride. The sceney is beautiful, be it in the valley or on the highest point. I like the graphic at the start of the video, giving a profile of the line as a whole. The info-captions are nicely done. Did you got startled, when the train suddenly stopped? (the 'ghost balise) Anyway, Thanks again for this beautiful ride over the mountain pass with your freight train. I look forward to many more to come. Cheers, RCG!! ❤😉😀😀
  • Wow! That camera/lens combination is insane! Well done and thank you for another fantastic trip.:_cowStars:
  • I really love your videos. I'm 75 and retired and have always liked watching trains. I truly love when the crossing gates come down. Thank you!!!
  • As a train driver, I must say this is the most beautiful job in the world for me. I work doing the same things you do in Spain and I wanted to be a train driver since I was only 4 years old. Railway conquered my heart and I am in love with it since then. I also love so much Norway since I was a teenager. How hard would it be to me if I wanted to work in a Norwegian company as an engine driver? Because I love the idea and it would make me very happy despite I love my country too. Congratulations for such an illustrative and teaching video for those who have not all the knowledge involving this awesome job. You have explained everything so clear and you are able to make other people understand which things and why are you doing them. I have found this video by chance but I am so grateful to the algorithm of Youtube. You have a new suscriptor and I hope you continue uploading new videos and sharing those nice Norwegian landscapes with us. Best regards :)!
  • Hi RCG, you never cease to amaze the audience. I confess to being amazed, by the excellent quality of the video, it is evident that you have very good equipment and you know how to make a very professional use of it. Of the beautiful, wild and harmonious landscapes, well it is redundant and reiterated to ponder it. You are blessed by God, to be surrounded by beautiful nature. I appreciate observing the good disposition and management in the maintenance of the materials and equipment of tracks and railway works. How always grateful for sharing your videos, which are part of your existence. Good luck dear lady. 👍
