You and RCG, the dynamic duo! I'm addicted to those 200 km/h sections! Norway is just plain beautiful.

Norway with snow! Always very watchable. Thank you! 💖

Norwegian rail trips, always a treat! Thank You.

[@GingerRailOriginal]

Thansk you so much for watching!

[@joydivisionisnotdead67]

Always delightful to have the honorable privilege to ride new routes, new and different takes on Norway's awesome rail system. Cheers. Greatly appreciated

…for the beginning: excellent film!

[@pattillo21]

What the heck is the awesomeness!! Love the footage and scenery!!!

[@davidbishop5920]

Great video which complements the many stunning videos of the Bergen line. If it is possible it would be interesting to see this and your other video in the reverse direction

[@GingerRailOriginal]

Thank you for your feedback. It is possible and videos just as requested will come:)

[@obkb1]

Thank you for this enjoyable video. That Romerike tunnel is certainly an experience! I hope to see more of your videos from other lines in the near future. If there is one thing that Norway needs more of, it is train drivers who make cab ride videos. I am glad that RCG has been an inspiration for you.

[@GingerRailOriginal]

I am so glad you enjoy my videos. I am working with a new video as we speak. Hopefully, I will have it out within following week:)

The first part of this reminds me of the Bergen line

I wasn't feeling so Hip and Cool, and I couldn't figure out why. It finally dawned on me in all of its magnificent glory...I haven't had a GingerRail fix in awhile. Aaaahhh, that's better. Now I feel Tip Top Again 😄😄😄

Great video for an old railroad man like me. Unfortunately I never got outside the maintenance hall to drive a train...

Thanks a lot for contributing to the views from the Norwegian railways. This particular stretch brings me back 34 years when I did my military service at Heistadmoen, just outside Kongsberg. Your camera quality is really good too, with fast enough optics to capture the tunnels quite well. And as we all know, there are a few tunnels in Norway. Myrdal - Finse, anyone? Today I think we'll discuss some signs along the track. I'm sure RCG has covered it in her chats and/or in the comment section, but I'm too lazy searching through everything, so I'll ask here instead. Let's start with the speed information signs. We have the triangles with pointy side up (increase speed) and pointy side down (decrease speed) with a number in multiples of 10 km/h. So a pointy down with a 9, indicates "prepare to reduce speed to 90 km/h", with a marker ahead indicating the deadline. So far, so good. But then there is often a smaller sign below with (+5, +10), and as far as I can tell, the FLIRT and EL18 are always ahering to the sum of the main sign and the subsign. So which trains are subject to the main sign only? Certain axle load, train classification, or what? --And then we have the blue signs with white numbering that are usually the sum of the main sign and the + sign, but not always. At 7:48 in this video, just east of Skollenborg, there is a reduce speed sign showing the main sign as 8, then +10, which should add up to 90 km/h, but the blue sign shows 105. So what are those blue signs valid for? Keep up the good work and in the mean time, I'll put on the "Travelling Without Moving"-album by Jamiroquai, lean back on the sofa and watch the scenery pass by.

[@GingerRailOriginal]

Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you enjoy the videos! As far as I know, all of Vy's trains can use those additional speedsigns. Correct me if I am wrong but the only one that can't is type 92, now operated by SJ. The blue signs is for trains that got a tilt function. F.ex: Type 71,73 and 93. Operated by Flytoget, Vy and SJ 😊

[@rhkavli]

@@GingerRailOriginal Thanks for the clarification. Eagerly waiting for your next video.

Härlig video! Ska utbilda mig till lokförare här i Sverige till hösten. Det är ju ett ganska välbetalt arbete på den här sidan gränsen, men hur är det i Norge, vad ligger lönerna på osv? Och hur arbetar ni? 8-6 schema som vi ofta har? Ha det!

[@dieterschroers8914]

Thank you very much for this great video of this interesting route! I have a question about the speed announcements: Above, the large number for trains with locomotives, below, the small number, for EMUs and the blue one for Tilt Trains?

[@GingerRailOriginal]

That is more or less correct:)

[@alejandromiguel1593]

Savner virkelig å ta toget fra Oslo til Eidsvoll 😞

[@joydivisionisnotdead67]

Is that a tilt train, or were my eyes deceiving me?

[@GingerRailOriginal]

No tilt train. But the rails may tilt;)
