Come Take A Ride With Me On The Dovre Line In Norway In 4K!

[@RailCowGirl]

If you're wondering what that ticking sound is, then I can tell you that it's from the Hassler speed recorder. The s same type of speed recorder can be found on Class69 A/B and C before the C was rebuilt to C2. They are still very present on the old RC4's we're operating with at the moment until we get more modern traction. Here is a link to Hassler: www.railway-technology.com/contractors/computer/hasler/ And yes, if you're unable to lockout the sound, it'll turn you mad as a hatter.

[@michaelstewart3763]

good job you did excellent job

[@besatanas]

It's not a sleep protection??? Cannot fall asleep with that noise.

[@davefroman4700]

Glad to see you are back. Are you back on the rails or is this old footage?

[@jonathonshanecrawford1840]

May be its the vigilance device? Like after so many seconds it make a noise and the driver press a button, then if not pressed after awhile an alarm is sounded, and if the driver still doesn't respond, the emergency brakes will activate!

[@gregfoster3620]

I love the old ticking of the hassler and the smooth operation of the controls 👌 Every thing is so digital these days Sorry for reminiscing , old train drivers do that 😊 10 shifts to retire🎉 43 year’s service Hunter Valley NSW coal train driver

[@martyyoung3298]

I like watching her videos for several reasons besides being a relaxing ride on a train. She names every station she goes through so if you are following on a map, you know where you are. And if you are familiar with the area, it makes it more personal. She posts short messages about interesting things. I like watching the scenery go by, looking at the homes close to the train and the businesses. The vehicles passing on the roads, people walking their dogs, pushing baby carriages or just walking. A peaceful rural life.

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you :D

[@jonathonshanecrawford1840]

How true, like where are we? I like the clothing factory in Dale _(dole - English pronunciation)_ there is a sing *_"Factory Store"_* very interesting! I thought it would of been in Norwegian _Fabrikkbutikk_

[@browntrout1156]

I think this video will be in my favourites list. The video is so clear and the beautiful day with the farmlands made it a special one. Love the shot of your train heading off. Well done RCG.

[@brianlockyer3760]

This must be the best vlog that I have seen of yours, did not want it to end. Not to many tunnels, so out in the brilliant daylight, with plenty going on trackside. Many thanks, keep safe?

[@RailCowGirl]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Norway should be proud of you.. You show that beautiful country

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you! 😃

[@georgeallan1300]

The farther you travel the softer the view. Great video RailCowGirl! 👏👏

[@RailCowGirl]

Yes! Thank you!

[@thatkyledude1093]

After looking a little deeper in to the Rc4 after recognizing the designation, I discovered that the Rc4 was used as the basis for what would become the AEM-7 here in the US. Affectionately nicknamed "Toasters" all of us railfans out here absolutely LOVED those locomotives. A story from an engineer lives rent free in my mind. AEM-7 on the point, really short passenger train. Speed jumps up to over 100mph. Engineer (driver for you guys across the pond) takes the throttle and sends it right up to full throttle. Thing takes off like a little rocketship. Great power loved by all.

[@kristenburnout1]

I love the AEM-7! The Rc series really were a revolution in terms of electric locomotives. They were the first in the world to use thyristor controlled traction motors, which meant you could have step free speed control, as well as no longer needing complex electromechanical transformer tap changing mechanisms. Here in Norway, the locally made El 16 (Basically an RC4 with a "snow-optimized" front end) replaced locomotives like the El 14 for passenger service, which used giant series wound motors and tap changing (similarly to the US GG1). It must have felt like driving a spaceship in comparison!

[@Yatsuzume]

I always appreciate these videos a lot, they give me comfort when I work at home & keep me from scrolling on social media when I take a break. Thanks for sharing this beautiful spring ride

[@RailCowGirl]

Love that! Thank you!

[@heckelphon]

One of the greatest features in these videos is certainly the editing. The care and skill shows itself in some cool moments. At 2:57:49 for example the oncoming freight train for which RCG was waiting in the loop dissolves out of the image as though coming through a time-warp. It would have been so easy just to do a jump cut, but this took time, trouble and great precision. And yet it's over in a moment -- yet I am sure it would have taken rather longer to do that. These aspects are what lifts these videos above many others.

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you so much!!

[@Pasmith95621]

I love watching your videos, it’s a lovely trip without leaving my living room! ❤

[@swarfrat311]

Another great train ride with my favorite train driver! I really enjoy seeing more of Norway with these other rail lines. II also enjoy the cards you put up with information about a certain area. It really makes for an enjoyable video. Thanks so much for this upload. Take care and be safe. Dave in NorCal

A magical trip, the change in scenery from lowland to highland is stunning. It's good to see so much being spent on infrastructure improvements even if it does bring numerous temporary speed restrictions.

When I was a kid I wanted to drive trains when I grew up, I even had a model railroad I spent a lot of time with. Unfortunately life threw me a couple curve-balls which meant I was unable to follow that dream. Now with your videos I have the next best thing, so thank you very much for these videos and I hope you continue making them.

Hi Railcowgirl from New Zealand😊 I love anything to do with trains. Here, we have some nice views, but the trains are old, and slow, because of the narrow gauge line. Time to see the sheep and cows on the farms, lol. I hope one day to ride the Bergen line. 😊😊

Interesting to read the tidbit about Eidsvoll and its role in Syttende Mai. (three of my grandparents had parents that emigrated from Norway, so that makes these videos that much more interesting. My family's namesake even lived in one of the towns along the Bergen Line in Vestland county)

[@ATSFSuperChief]

Another very entrancing video. Have enjoyed all of your offerings and am interested in figuring out the signal indications and as a serious modeler of USA signals am still absorbing the Norway system. Also I have really been captured by the fantastic scenery with all the mountains, streams and farms, etc. The Norway railroad system is different from ours, as mostly the freight lines are all private corporations and Amtrak a hangeron, except for the NEC which Amtrak owns. Our freight trains out west have gotten longer and also a lot of employees lost as crew sizes the same but fewer trains as all DPU locomotives are run from the headend engines via radio so only one crew for a upto 15,000+ foot long freight train. And any delays by Amtrak gets them waiting behind these freight trains.😄😊🤠

That was an amazing ride. It took me about 5 nights of viewing and following along on google maps each and every train station. Thank you so much for taking us along. Do you like this route better than the east west route? I didn't realize Norway had so much farmland. Are you still sky diving and motorcycle riding? The mountains on your trip seem to get taller and taller as you went along. I really miss your live feed where I could ask questions directly to you. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life. I saw you posted something about KZbin being screw up. Are you having a problem? Anyway, enjoy life and I hope you post another trip. Thanks again from one of your fans.
