4K CABVIEW: Aurora borealis, northern lights, visible in August! 🤩

I've never seen the Aurora Borealis in an August sky.
Sometimes nature serves you with all the majestic sights of the northern lights and wild life in just one shift.
This video consist of several parts from my latest shift where the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) was visible. A stag dodged the train with a fraction of a second to go, and there was a hare crossing the tracks at Hol Station (not part of this "short").
The best part was the Northern Lights being visible. It was like the sky was on fire, and I'm so glad my Sony FX3 was able to catch it!

There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when the Northern Lights sneak up on you unexpectedly. Thanks for the video!

[@mr.polemikus4933]

you should see the sunrise at four thirty in the morning in southern Europe, on the sea before June 21

[@t1r3deye5]

We see the Northern Lights here from time to time, but only in winter, and rarely this bright! Thanks for posting this! It's really beautiful!

[@RailCowGirl]

Same here. We usually see it late fall and during winter, this is the first time I've seen it in August. A powerful event with other words :D

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

Short, sweet and well received. I’m one of those odd people who has a hard time reading/watching/listening to episodic books/videos/podcasts if it is going to be a long time before the next episode/etc., arrives. Life is busy for all of us and I am not complaining. I’m just explain why I haven’t finished your last video. I have about a half hour left to watch and will probably do so tonight. Your job just excites me. Here in the Ohio Valley we don’t see the Northern Lights. My first and only time to see them in person was in 1978 when we were traveling across country. It blows my mind to think you can go to work at night and experience this phenomenon while driving a train. Surreal! Thank you for this. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

[@georgiabrigand6793]

Welcome back, RailCowgirl, and thank you for this brilliant video ! I hope you had something better than coconut water to drink. Such amazing views, even considering the fact that your shots from the Bergen Line have been colorful in the past. You may have a hard time topping the quality and uniqueness of this one in future videos. Be safe, always, especially near this sign.

[@betsyscales1066]

I held my breath for the buck and released it when he made it across safely! Whew! The sky is so beautiful! Thank you for making this video! 💐🌌

[@pegallen6983]

[@cismercier8009]

Fantastic. I imagine you sitting there at the controls of your locomotive and watching the sky unfold like a Hollywood thriller.

[@SweetTexasGal]

The deer on the tracks just about gave me a heart attack 🤣

[@RailCowGirl]

Hehehhe.. I was "please don't stop, buddy!"

[@fernandovazquezsr.4710]

I owe my ever-loving gratitude to Rail Cowgirl for her soothing and amazing videos! 🐮🤎☺

[@dm1045]

You have such a window into the world and nature. Night sky, sunrise, sunset and changing weather, the natural beauty of your surroundings and critters when they cross your path. What a cool view you have. Thanks for sharing.

[@rjo49]

Thanks for the ride. What a beautiful view! No Northern Lights here in Florida...

[@shawnbhayes]

You are the reason that we are planning a trip to Norway next year. Thank you!

[@RailCowGirl]

Yaaaay! ❤️ I hope you’ll find it even mire spectacular soaking in the views in real life ❤️

[@rninrvr]

Amazing look at those northern lights, something I never see where I live. Thank you RCG

[@ruthwilson7451]

I watch your Channel all the time and this is the first time I've seen an animal cross the tracks like that. The northern lights are beautiful aren't they, they're gorgeous!

[@RailCowGirl]

There have been numerous animal crossings in my videos :D But it's the firs time it's been so clear. Usually they don't make it to the other side.

[@grahamsmith2753]

There was the famous white bunny. I'm still not sure if it managed to avoid the train.

[@Lee-sx5np]

first time I've seen the northern lights thank you!!

[@kellyssong]

Thank you for sharing the northern lights! I am so thankful the deer moved out of your way.

[@RailCowGirl]

So am I, never fun to hit them

[@housemory]

Thanks from Spain! Awesome!

[@herrschdefan]

Wonderfull! Aurora borealis, northern lights, visible in August! Uncredible!!

[@6or1]

Great to see a new vid. Haven't seen the Northern Lights since I was a kid, when we lived on the outskirts of town. Those must have been extra bright to be seen near the lights of town. Thanks so much for the ride-along RCG.

[@RailCowGirl]

The lights would have been completely insane if we were in January with crisp sky. It says something about the KP5 event :D

[@billystylo8167]

I come here when I just want to relax away... I'm so grateful to you cowgirl... You're there my screen and I drink a nice hot tea

[@cirebyte7588]

What a great job! I managed to get some photos of slight Aurora, from Scotland on the 8th August.

[@whrider]

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@NaomiKGarza]

I really enjoyed the video RCG. Watching the Auroras was beautiful seeing them move made me feel peaceful ❤❤❤

[@michelvidal7666]

Stunning !!! In addition, the railways in Norway are well maintained and the trains light up the tracks well, unlike in France...

[@leosc7777]

Glad YT recommended me this channel. Love to put it ok the tablet and watch it while working.

[@juppzupp8989]

Welcome back with this beautiful video! I had the opportunity to visit norway in June...and I'm still deeply impressed by this fabulous country and it's warm and empathic people. Thanks norway for this experience, thanks cowgirl for sharing your awesome views with us!

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you! 😃

[@RichardCourtney-]

So lovely to have you back! And an experience everyone should witness in person. ​​🌠​

[@alanatolstad4824]

Thank-you for doing this for us! My folks have seen the lights, one summer they were on the Farmstead in North Dakota. I've never seen them. It was on my bucket list to travel to Alaska in February (we were told that was the best time to see them there) but I'm now 71 & with a shorter list!

[@drummerboy1390]

Fantastic. You are full of surprises. You constantly surprise and delight us. Many thanks.

[@josesal]

Love it...Oh dear...yes great views.....NO the deer at the very start..!! Thanks RCG and congrats on a very sharp clear video.

Thankyou. I enjoyd watching the light.

[@bluevanimaging9998]

That is a tremendous video, very good quality, and great seeing the northern lights. We're intending to visit Norway (again) in Feb 2024 hopefully to see the Aurora Borealis, so this has been an encouragement! Thanks for this!

Do you ever get to see the lights in WI? I saw them once camping up in the woods in the north there.

[@andrewpalm2103]

@@queengoblin I live in a city, so there is too much light polution. I did visit north-central Wisconsin when I was a kid back in the 1950's and remember how many stars I could see in the night sky, including the Milky Way.
