4K CABVIEW: FREIGHT NIGHT on the Bergen Line

It's finally freight night on the Bergen Line! We're going from Ål to Bergen on this trip. In Bergen we'll be going around with Locomotive and pulling out on the Kronstad track which was part of the original Vossa Line. The Vossa Line opened in 1883 and Bergen station opened in 1913. The line was first a narrow gauge but was converted to normal gauge in 1909 with the completion of the Bergen Line. After pulling out on the Kronstad track we'll be slipping back into the freight terminal.

Well I must say, this train has a much better horn than your old ones !!. Thanks for the video, love watching these, so relaxing.

[@norfilmshetland]

Stunning! This must be amongst the very best videos shot at night. Professional recording equipment and expert post production to a standard that any broadcasting organisation would find hard to equal. RailCowGirl has raised the bar again!

This video is simply mesmerizing. What an antidote to all the stress that can build up in our fast-paced society. It looks like I am going to have to learn Norwegian so I can marvel at all this beauty in person.

What treat!! A whole new outlook on the countryside we've ridden with you so many times. Thank you for the hard work and the excellent result.

I have always been a creature of the night. A lifetime of late nite working, the mystique of the darkness, the lights, wondering what lurks in the darkness. Thank you for this fantastic ride. Stay safe, stay healthy and a prosperous new year!

[@sandiegoray01]

Congratulations on the new job, and this video blew me away. I have a brand new computer with a 4k screen and truly amazing color and image accurancy. Plus, filming at night invites trouble. But your camera equipment is very good, I am impressed. I just found the link to your camera equipment, and both the lens and camera body are very, very good. You must be into photograhy. By the way that is the prefect lens for this type of filming. I've bought almost everything from Amazon for last 10 years, they are like the Nordstroms of the internet. Anyway, thank you for your excellent effort. And have a happy holiday season.

[@rninrvr]

This is a wonderful pre Christmas treat for us. Gee, now those speed modifier signs below the speed limit triangles can be ignored by you as you move the freight Norway needs. It is nice that Green Cargo is allowing you to film so a big thank you to them for it.+

I stayed in that hostel at 2:23:22 when I was backpacking through Scandinavia! I love these videos, watching while listening to an Audiobook is so relaxing.

[@kandasaravanan1441]

Love the loneliness to nowhere... and in btw stations.............. Thans for your videos... These are mystic and wonderful

[@fernandovazquezsr.4710]

This has to be the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! It's like watching a Hallmark Christmas commercial. 🎄🚉🚞🥰

[@jobrowne561]

Excellent video RCG. I loved that third crossing and the other driver waving his arms crazily. It reminds me of my early days of driving, although I was in the cab of a diesel. Most of our trains are about 1.8kms long (around 4,000 + tonnes) due to crossing loop length

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you! Yep, we need to stay friendly and besides, we used to work together in Vy ;)

[@ftc22]

I so love trains!!!!!! I have always wanted to be on a train. Never had the chance. Thank you for this live cam. I love this!

What a beautiful video. Even the tunnels were a joy to watch. I started watching to enjoy the views of Norway. But I am really loving these night rides as well. Thank you so very much.

[@steelrat5563]

Been watching a few of your vids, they are fascinating. I used to drive Tube trains on London Underground and the main line guys used to call us Toytown Railway. lol. Never did get on the mainline though I would have loved to. Fantastic job here RCG. Keep it up and thanks again for all the time and work you put in to bring us these brilliant videos.

[@felikesmeerssen3263]

In Norway a good deal of the voyage seems to take place in tubes too! Never saw so many tunnels!

Wow. Norway is beautiful by day but stunning at night.

[@Drivingatnight_KR]

It reminds me of the train I rode when I enlisted in the military 20 years ago. It didn't snow that much, but I got on the train on a cold night. I remember the face of my father, who wiped the tears for the first time in his life. It's a different place and different environment, but it's a good video that makes you think about some memories in your heart.

[@BlackWolf.]

Congrats with the first freight video. Its ....... awsome. ❤❤. As other has mentioned, you have raised the bar again. Also very nice to say hello to you once in a while at work on the railroad. Freight trains suits you and you suits freight trains 🤩🤩

As a new and older viewer (2nd vid seen, and I was on a 1st name basis with the last wholly mammoth), I didn't know how excited to get about this video. Let me tell you, at my age... well, just getting ducky bumps outta me as you did could be called a miracle. The scenes reminded me of my youth in Hamburg, New York... back when people would bet on the year for the End of the Ice Age. Also, why I never returned -- too Cold & Snowy. None of that here and now, it could be added, but we do have trains and tracks and people who do that sort of thing. You do it well and record it. Super. Gracias por tu video. R.T. West sends...

I've been watching this channel for so long that I've even started to recognize some of the railway signs. A yellow diamond with a black line through it means: sound your horn.

[@rah62]

and the yellow triangle with a number is the speed sign - a triangle with a 9 means 90, a triangle with a 6 means 60.
