TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Called out on a day off to FLIRT in 4K UltraHD

[@profgyland2]

Videos from this publisher, HinduCowGirl belong to the best on the railroad videos on KZbin. The videos are nearly free of the Scheimpflung rule picture deformations and also trees and post do not look bent as to bad wide angle lens systems of mobile phones and cheap video cameras often used by amateurs. - Here we have a very good video that shows a driver's view as it is. For sure the wonderful and my beloved Norway country-side is at its best in Winter. - This beautifully done video is a joy to watch. Thank you!

[@SubwayNerd]

Calling out other people for trying to make movies are at best: disrespectful and extremely rude.

[@simonlockley2854]

As the op states, this is excellent footage which allows fatigue free viewing for over 2 hours. Op was highlighting differences between professional and amateur footage. The only person doing the "calling out" here is you. You would achieve more positive outcomes if you concentrated on honing your production techniques. Work hard and save up for some better gear and spend less time trolling? Your channel has potential. Keep pushing through and striving for excellence. I hope you recieve this in good faith but something tells me you'll be delighted by my response and will continue to troll. I won't be carrying this on and you are welcome to have the last word.

[@michaelnorris6365]

Beautiful, peaceful, mesmerizing. I love that there is no music or constant chatter. The horn blowing occasionally just adds to the beauty.

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you so much!

[@4everskiing]

You are a pioneer in filming what you have seen in your work. I am amazed at what a great experience you have given us. Thank you.

[@RReagan-z6c]

Your videos keep my anxiety, which I have fought all of my life manageable. It may sound crazy, but since watching them, I haven’t had to take as much of my medication and my life is far calmer as is my blood pressure. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all your hard work, thank you and Norway is a dreamland only some of us see in your videos or in our dreams.

[@RailCowGirl]

I'm so glad my videos are able to help you in the challenges you've been given in your everyday life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Live trains and snow. Perfect combo.

[@RReagan-z6c]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for the kind words, with the world in turmoil my anxiety has been really bad, but your winter trips make me remind me that things will be OK

[@RailCowGirl]

I know. The best one can do these days is just turn off the news, and sit back and listen to nature sounds or other things that creates your little safe space. I do that myself. Just playing spring sounds or listen to airplane statics.

[@christopherdaniel4841]

It doesn't seem that long ago, that ice etched the paths for rails to later follow. In winter dusk descends at 2 p.m., and snow falls along with the bitter cold. How romantic! What a privilege to drive this Bergen Line, even on a day off!!

The one that blew me away the most I think is when you were on the hill in the middle of that nightmare blizzard. I couldn’t see the tracks, and I grew up in snow that deep. It’s amazing what you do, I could never do that, but I love watching you do it.❤❤❤❤❤❤ sorry if I’m a pest living alone, being old and being disabled stuck in this bed sometimes makes me a little wordy. I’ll stop now. You have a wonderful day and be safe.

[@shreksswamp9001]

HGC as frustrating as it is with regard the issues with your live chat fear not, you'll never lose any fans, because your videos, like this one, are always top notch and so very entertaining. It is very difficult to turn them off once the journey has begun. Mate, you got us hooked because you produce high-quality videos and we all enjoy them. Although I have joined in on the chat a few times, I am really not much of a live chatter per se and would rather prefer your videos like this one, from your library. Even though you have a group of fans who want the chat, just remember where you started. There are many of us who enjoy the simple video and we are always very appreciative of your efforts and your generosity in publishing them. Safe travels and hope we see more journeys in the future!

@ILYTF, the Train Driver is NOT from India, and YES, SHE is definitely Female, and a woman like EVERY man WISHES he could meet.

I could be running it again, but it would be a security risk since I would have to uninstall those two major updates.

When you go through those massive long tunnels, does the temperature change much from the outside temp. Always enjoy your videos, love Norway have cousins who live in Kragro.

A good point re: the km long tunnels. Trains travelling through the tunnel act like an air pump though pulling cold air through, as HCG has said, causing a pressure change creating a mist sometimes.

Plus, I don't know why, but it's more fun traveling with you. This video...beautiful with the snow and fun to ride it from Al to Voss. It's interesting to see the mountains and towns from the opposite approach. One of my favorite moments from Voss to Al is just outside a tunnel where we pass over a stream and then go into a tunnel. Here it's at 1:46:33 and I had no idea it became a waterfall. Obviously it's steep, but it never occurred to me that it would be a waterfall. Anyway, thank you again. I always enjoy riding with you.

Strange start to your journey. Did they forget to pick someone up ? Not as much snow this week but it appeared some was starting to fall again.

Not a strange start at all... had to move the trainset from the track designated for parking and to a track where it's possible to give signal clearance from :)

[@breakingbaz7709]

I didn’t expect the Horn you made me jump 😦

[@christianjordan2659]

Can you explain the start, first ahead to the crossing and then reverse back before getting the green light :-)

[@RailCowGirl]

Did you see any platforms around the track the train set was parked? ;) The track it was on is for parking and parking only, so gad to move it to the track with platform. They you’d ask, why not just park it by the platform? Well simply put, that would block a through track. And parking on through track without the possibility to cut the power from the overhead wire and use auxiliary power would mean that you’d have be there at all times.

[@chopperbillintexas5854]

Question: Why do you blow for some crossings and not others, and why so far from the actual crossing? Here in the U.S. they have to blow approaching the crossing and continue until they pass the crossing. Interesting how different countries handle this!

[@RailCowGirl]

= Level crossing, trains must sound the horn (these are placed where the line of sight from the crossing is too short to see the train coming. = Halt, trains with a scheduled stop at the halt must sound the horn = Level crossing and halt at the same place, all trains must sound the horn = general warning We don't need to sound the horn for level crossings that are complete with gates and sound systems.

Are there any publications which illustrate the steam era route against the current route? You could never run a steam engine in those long (>1km) tunnels . It and its crew and passengers would run out of oxygen. All the stations on this route have a similar layout of track and facilities, but none are seen to be used for any type of freight. I know Norway is a rich county with cheap fuel, but there is still emission issues.

[@RailCowGirl]

The tunnel before Finse was not there until the 90's... the same with the long tunnel after Finse... but the one after Myrdal was there, and they did run steam through it. So yes.. they did use steam in tunnels over 1km ;) To say it this way... they did not have the same requirements or knowledge back then as we do have today.
