4K CABVIEW: Sunny spring afternoon on the Bergen Line hauling freight

[@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.

[@RailCowGirl]

Yep. The passenger numbers on the line is still 10% lower than before the pandemic. But things are getting better. Now lets hope the spiraling inflation and interests don't destroys everything

[@robpittstop1797]

Yes BIG AGREEMENT, more details during the beautiful weather and eventally with her new camera - the best! Dangerously crystal clear! My opinion is its LOT more than 4k screen. I would say like 10 to 100K screen. :) Pure ULTRA!

[@wiseolesage]

Good to see another scenic video from Norway. You are truly dedicated in doing this and consistent. Thanks.

[@genefaulkner8935]

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! 🌈🎉

I am glad you and us viewers get to see the light of day in the spring and summer months. I see there has been a lot of upgrades along the tracks.

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!

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.

[@shaynestephens]

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!

[@verenadelor6344]

Hey Christine Thank you for your new story about the Bergen Railway. From the first to the last minute one could be with you and experience what your passion is. Details such as counting the turns on the screw coupling are anything but trivial when you have almost 1,500 tons. on the hook. Then the ascent from spring into the mountains where winter is at home. After Finse the liberation, now it goes downhill. The train pushes from behind. The incomparable landscape. She steals so much power. The wonderful lighting conditions. I envy and admire you. Stay the way you are and take care of yourself.

[@georgiabrigand6793]

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 !(horn blow)

Thanks! 😃

[@ThePathfinder66]

Appreciate seeing the coupling process, so much different than North America. I always wondered about the European couplers, now I know! Just a perfect day for photography and video, that late afternoon and evening warm sunlight is just the best. Also the angle of the sun brings out just enough shadows so you really get the feeling of depth. The landscape stuff can be tricky, what the eye sees and what the camera sees can be a lot different. Your videos are helping me stay sane in a crazy world!

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.

As I watch these Bombardier TRAXX locomotives, they remind me of my earlier days at Unisys Corporation. We had a term for things like these locomotives. We call them "amazingly adequate". I am now a big fan of these trains and, of course, the lovely Railcowgirl. Rock on!

[@rrgibbons]

My new learning from this video: your locomotives can move under their own power for a short time while not under catenary. Neat!

[@RailCowGirl]

Both the BR187 and Eurodual has this capability. The BR187 has this functionality for use to get to an from tracks without overhead wire, with a last mile battery unit to get out of the workshop without polluting the whole building with exhaust. The Last Mile Functionality is not made to pull whole trains for longer distances. The Eurodual on the other hand has a full diesel engine as well that we can use when needed. :)

I thought the change to the Black Magic Cinema 6K camera was awesome.... this camera blows the Black Magic out of the water... simply incredible... I swear I could do rock id on the fly. Mega Kudos!!!

[@RailCowGirl]

It sure does. There is a huge difference from the BMPCC, both in sensor size and technology. The BMPCC has a Super 35 sized sensor with 6K resolution whilst the Sony FX3 has a 35mm full size sensor with 4K. With a bigger sensor and fewer pixels, more light hit's the pixels :D This gives you much better low light capabilities :D

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 KZbin. You have a new suscriptor and I hope you continue uploading new videos and sharing those nice Norwegian landscapes with us. Best regards :)!

[@RailCowGirl]

Hello Fran, Since you probably already have the European License, you are eligible to apply for any jobs for what your license is approved for. They will then probably send you to the railway academy to get the necessary education on Norwegian signaling and procedures. Since Norwegian is not your native language, you will have to learn the language as well and pass a language test. Always awesome to meet colleagues from other parts of the world :D

[@m9ovich785]

Great Tour... I think I got most of the signage figured out. the only ones I could not find were the Diamond with the vertical black line The Circle and the Black dot in the Diamond. P.s. You forgot a couple of Toots HAHAHAHAH... It's amazing how a Curves can be laid out in a Tunnel and Figuring where it will come out. Quite the varying speed changes along the route too... Ever see any wildlife in the tunnels.. I only saw the Moose You pointed out.. Mike M Central WIs, USA.

[@RailCowGirl]

Thanks :D I don't need to honk at places where the signals marks a halt, because I do not stop at halt as those are for passenger trains. Only trains with scheduled stop needs to sound the horn. If you want the answer to the ATC-signalling, I recommend you sign up for my newsletter, The Monthly Moo. I go in depth in several subjects there like how the line block and signalling work. Animals are generally not stupid enough to venture into a dark tunnel. We occasionally see foxes and weasels in the shorter tunnels but never in the long ones.
