4K CABVIEW: Sneaking my train through the neighborhood

I've not seen as much arcing / flashing from the pantograph as I did in this one. Especially that stretch where the train coming toward you was lighting it up. What causes that? Do they ever start fires?

[@RailCowGirl]

Ice on the catenary is the cause :) I’m not familiar of any fires started due the arch, but there had been several grass and forrest fires started due to overheated brakes.

Worked in Oslo 25 years ago designing some of the new railways. Got to explore a lot with a cab pass but only on passenger trains. Enjoying seeing the freight bits.

[@geoffreykail9129]

It's interesting how you can see the arcing of the panagraph on the snow at night. Are those older sections of cable that are in need of replacement? I know some of it is when you're transfer from one circuit to another.

[@koppadasao]

1:30 Well, that's a nice way to start the show... SPAD! Yeah, I know, the dwarf show clear, and while shunting you can SPAD as long as you doesn't cross the outer marker. Not that that mattered much for Skd 224 222 hitting a patch of ice while trying to stop at the siding at Torbjørnsbu. We went jumping out onto the line with full emergency breaking, dancing like a hippo, finally stopping about 100 meter outside the entry signal. And *they* offered a 16 year old the opportunity to drive the 224..., not just having a blast train surfing

[@dontomkinsonkpc6ndb862]

Lots of arcing on the catenary at Fla 152.5

[@chris-hu7tm]

this was live

[@squidkid2]

This looks like such a dangerous route with the combination of snow, darkness and possible rockslides

[@RailCowGirl]

No need to worry. They don't build a track and leave it unattended. Tracks, rock faces tunnels etc are inspected regulary to avoid any slides. Snow is just a part of Norway and believe me, we have good experience with running trains in extreme conditions :)

[@JorgenRomeMojo]

Artig tuting forbi Viul 👍👍

[@RailCowGirl]

Det må til når det bor bra folk der :D

[@jamestappin4741]

Is the loop at Movatn too short for this train (it looks quite short)? Otherwise why was it not the usual arrangement of running into the loop to wait for the oncoming train?

[@idtune]

The passing loop at Movatn is only 315 meters long and has two platforms: one side platform along the diverting track (track 1), and one short and narrow platform between the tracks. The latter can only be accessed through a level crossing, but that crossing gets blocked when track 1 gets occupied by a long train. Passenger exchange is thus normally done in track 1.

[@classicalmidiorgans]

[@florianabacki1621]

[@4449John]

How long ago was this filmed? 1:00:12 Very curious about steam engines in Norway, is their a website that covers some of the history of this fascinating area? Google ran a camera car down the highway next to this tower in August of 2022, I captured an image of this one through the trees and I'm trying learn more about these towers. I also have a off highway shot of the brown one on my FB page. Any help would be appreciated, these are wonderful videos you are sharing; makes me want to travel again.

[@arzen65]

May I ask your setting on BMPCC6K? ISO, exposition mode, codec, resolution, WB etc. What kind of post production do you do? (noise reduction for example?). Thank you!

[@alanmusicman3385]

@railcowgirl question that arises from your map. Why are there no lines from Oslo direct to Honeyfoss? Both the Drammen route and the one we use here seem to be going around the north and southe edge of some large area - is that area very mountainous or wetlands or something?

[@idtune]

A direct line between Oslo/Lysaker/Sandvika and Hønefoss was first envisioned in the 1880s, and has been studied and planned with different alignments since. It is now quite close to realization as a project called Ringeriksbanen. The first half between Oslo and Hønefoss is somewhat hilly (for a modern railway to get across), reaching up to about 200 meters, requiring a 20 km long tunnel to pass under the hills. Back in the late 1800s and first half of the 1900s, a few hours longer travel time to wasn't all that crucial, when you could avoid investing in infrastructure by using the lines already built via Drammen or Roa.

[@alanmusicman3385]

@@idtune Thanks. I imagine that project - when complete - would shave 70-80 minutes off the Bergen to Oslo journey?

[@idtune]

@@alanmusicman3385 It will reduce travel time by train between Oslo and Hønefoss (and Bergen) by about one hour. You can find a decent description about the history and current plans for the project on the English Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringerike_Line

[@RailCowGirl]

Yep, it would cut the time from 6 1/2h to 4 1/2ish hours

[@LinkinParkFanNorway]

The area is Nordmarka North of Oslo. It is protected through a law called "Markaloven". It acts kinda like national park, but it is not one. The law forbid building in the area (though with exceptions), but are open for outdoor activities, such as hiking, skiiing and cykling. This area is huge and is 5-6 times larger than Oslo city. it is also a part of the reason why Oslo is the biggest capital in Europe in area size!

[@katherinedraus9211]

I'm enjoying this video, but I have a question ... why are there blinking lights on the train (I think they're blue or green)? I don't mean the signal lights along the tracks. Is there something wrong with the engine?

[@RailCowGirl]

You see the flashing from the arch produced because of the ice on the overhead wire.

Nice to see the signalling system uses a lot of unnecessary flashing to shorten the life of bulbs and wear them out prematurely. Not only does this raise the maintenance costs it has the added benefit of introducing lots of unsafe conditions by the number of blown bulbs.

[@RailCowGirl]

You are aware that they use FLASHING lights to differentiate the MEANING between the signals? Blown bulbs are not an issue as they are wired into the system to trip restrictive signaling and messages. Nothing is left to randomness, Sir.
