TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Evening information run between Ål and Voss

[@luismiguelmarques6584]

Thanks for all the info you can inject in your videos.

[@ruffsilver122]

I am physically disabled and do not get to travel in the ways I dream of. These videos are a gift, and I am so grateful that you share them. they're a wonderful 'escape' from my reality into a faraway land. Also the landscape of Norway is very similar to northern Canada, where I once lived

[@RailCowGirl]

Hey there Ruff, I'm so glad my videos brings you so much joy and the feeling of escape ❤️ It's stories like these that drives me ❤️

[@techsalesandmore3649]

Me also, these are really cool videos for disabled people @@RailCowGirl

[@JimmyFoxhound]

I can't explain why but I LOVE these videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to record and post them for us!! What a beautiful country.. I'm so jealous! :)

[@joydivisionisnotdead67]

No doubt. God took 8 days. 7 to make the world and us, and another day to sculpt Norway

[@julieburton192]

Kind of mesmerising, isn't it, watching the track? 🤓😨

[@drawbridge611]

Signaling information was very informative. I've always been interested in that sort of thing. Thank you.

[@UncleKenInAz]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy the contrasts between Arizona and the all wonderful places you take us. One request... I would love to see the view out the rear of the train as it runs through the snow. What a cloud of powder it must leave!

[@VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

Thank you so much for these videos. It's really fascinating to see the beautiful scenery of our neighbors from this perspective. I'd especially like to thank you for not ruining the dreamlike atmosphere with music. If people want to, they can play the music of their choice on the background. For me, the sounds of the train are a must.

[@heatherstub]

I couldn't agree more with you. I used to live in France back in the 1970s, so I really miss those trains. We need them here in America, especially those of us who are totally blind, and that's about 11 million of us, not to mention those who are partially sighted.

[@ronaldj1781]

These videos are really entertaining and informative. I want to tell you that I, as a retired trainer have a lot more time on my hands than I once did. Your videos are a great incentive for people like ourselves to visit what you are showing us here. Perhaps there are people within your organization who should see this or at least productions like this. Also the information balloons you provide are a huge bonus, but as someone in the comments has already mentioned it takes a heck of a lot of time and effort. I will say the more you find the time to do the more popular they will be. I would also like to add making them longer is fine but hitting the pause button is not a big deal for me. Everyone gathers information at different paces and having longer balloons may or may not block the view of the scenery ahead. Hitting the pause button allows one to digest as well as read. I might add I have learned a lot by simply reading the comments. Obviously there are some very informed people on here!!!! Finally I also agree with the individual who said don't be shy about making a few comments as you deem appropriate. I thank you for your efforts and I will be travelling vicariously with you on your next run

[@rmkpilates]

Thanks for the ride! Peace and love to all from the Midwest USA

[@esuohdica]

Signalling info adds a new dimension to these excellent videos! Thanks for doing them 👍

[@ericschwab409]

I forgot to say that I love watching these videos. They help me relax at night and see a wonderful country I will probably never get to see myself.

[@jonadkins8007]

I'm having a hard time stopping watching if that makes sense but I cannot sit here another hour and a half. What wondrous beauty and scenery The Lord God Almighty has blessed Norway with. I live in the U.S. in the state of Illinois. We have beautiful scenery here in the U.S. But if I am ever able to travel that far I wouldn't mind touring Norway. You Norwegians have a very beautiful country and you keep it clean. We have a lot of litterbugs here in the U.S. in the big cities.

[@dipi71]

18:22 What new kind of black magic is this? Production value! Nicely done. Cheers!

[@richardnewell7958]

Wow. After watching your newer videos, you can really tell the difference in quality. My kids also like your videos because they are so relaxing. Thank you for making and sharing them.

[@RailCowGirl]

Happy to hear that!

[@roaminx]

And now the addition of brilliant info-sharing graphics. So simple. So clean. Sophisticated. Right from the start. Thank you.

[@stevejax13]

This was a delight. I am so pleased that after watching your previous video output I had worked out the meaning of most of the signalling and wayside signs so it was a real treat to see I was broadly speaking right. Not right enough to be employed as a driver of course. The graphics and text are lovely and nicely positioned. I can see what you are trying to do. For me it's not an issue to go back and read the information again if i've not read it all, it only takes a few seconds. Thank you. You deserve a thank you.

[@RailCowGirl]

Wicked! :D

[@MsSoundguy]

I wasn't sure I was in Norway until around 42:00 when we finally went through a tunnel. (kidding) As always, the scenery is just amazing, and the addition of place names and signal information contributes a lot to the enjoyment of the trip. Some teachers find that reviewing information helps, and speaking only for me, I'd appreciate maybe after an hour or so of a first identification, just a reminder of what two greens on top of a flashing orange means. This is wonderful stuff, HinduCowGirl. Thank you for taking the time to include the technical items AND the elevation of the various stations. I don't know squat about Norway, except that it's beyond beautiful, but it helps to put a name on something. Thanks again.

[@LinkinParkFanNorway]

I second that comment. It would be nice to know. In case you didn't know: Two greens over a flashing yellow means that you have entrance to the station on the through track (one green for entrance to a siding), but there is not yet made a clear to go on the exit signal on the other side of the station. This signal is kind of a yellow in other contries: expect stop, though we have two signaling pictures: one for the segment/station and one for the next signal to come.

[@LinkinParkFanNorway]

I would also add that I respect that making all this information is very time consuming, and understands that it would take too long time to make this on all signals.

[@lohphat]

What are the yellow rectangles with 150 or 130 in them?

[@isbjrn4626]

Its the speedlimit i think.

[@samaikens4816]

Nice video though I really don't care for the night scenery

[@swarfrat311]

Thank you so very much, HinduCowGirl, for the superb video!!! Riding the rails at night is a new and enjoyable experience. I'm sure your viewers realize the extra work you did my editing your video to include explaining the meaning of different signals and signage. It is greatly appreciated!!!! I learned a lot that will make my viewing experience of future videos more enjoyable. I'm a huge train fan! With what I have learned, watching the next video will be like I'm operating the train! Again . . . thank you very much!!!!!!!

[@I_Am_Michael]

the snow on the ground. the yellowish white light from the train. the mountains and trees all around. the deeply purple coloring of the sky. makes for some rather dramatic and nice looking video. you done did good.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

You have quickly established yourself as having the best cab rides. I love these! Yeah the only thing I can recommend is that the graphics you make stay on the screen a little longer. For example on my own youtube channel of road videos I normally keep text on screen for at least 11 seconds. I love the graphic design and font you used.

[@kyosuke19971]

Dette må være den mest detaljerte og informasjonsbringende videoen jeg har sett om norsk jernbane :) takk for en fantastisk Video fra lokomotivet :)

[@davidpoor8638]

FINALLY we can see what the lineside signalsand signs mean! Thank you for doing this. As an engineer myself I've been wondering what they all meant. Now we know. Keep up the good work HindCowGirl!! Lovin' every minute of it!!!

[@taniastavich7]

Having seen your video, I was astonished by the beautiful landscapes of Norway. Thanks a million for your shooting!

[@marybelfordsmith8421]

I have spent the last 4 hours being fascinated by your videos. Thank you!

[@donnasmith275]

Stunning! Thank you HinduCowGirl for this lovely ride and scene you share,, and for answering all of the questions so promptly ( thank you all whom ask very good questions also!) ,

[@johnninness3440]

FANTASTIC VID AS I WAS A FIREMAN ON STEAM AND DEISEL IN THE LATE 60,S IN AUSTRALIA THIS BRINGS BACK A LOT OF MEMORRYS THANK YOU FOR RE KINDELING THE FIRE

[@Txepsiyu]

So many signal and sign questions answered. Takk skal du ha!

[@hansquennet8357]

Of all the many videos I have seen, your videography and camera quality is superb! Sharp and crisp and perfect!!!

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you so much, Hans :D Motion tracking those layovers is a horrible time consuming process :p

[@fjhogan]

These videos are always a great tour of such a beautiful country. It looks even more amazing during the sunset too, definitely a place I'd want to visit and see with my own eyes at some point in life.

[@iantaf5559]

Hello Again. Well, I have watched the first bit to Hol - will watch the rest over the next couple of days. Wow. I am so impressed with the graphics you are using for the signal descriptions. They make this a very high class cab ride. So let me take the opportunity to thank you for the extra work and time you have had to put into this cab ride. Magic stuff. Best wishes as ever to you.

[@iantaf5559]

And now I have watched it all. Fabulous stuff. Bring on the next one!!😜

[@cliffcollins4124]

Wonderful job, really enjoyable, must say explanations add to the experience many thanks

[@Voxel-Ux]

Excellent graphic titles and super informative. This is so well put together it's like a piece of art actually. Thanks for creating this. I am now a subscriber.

[@cgtower8860]

Well this is just great, so much for me getting ANYTHING done in the office now! This video is PERFECT! Love the descriptions, the three way meet...wow wow wow...

[@carolsutton7828]

me too. I used to watch snooker regularly but now with the cowgirl I have quit snooker...awesome videos

[@thomasmccroskey3419]

The colors in the sky are awesome. Thank you for sharing with great video quality!

[@LINYTrains]

Another great video. Nice view approaching Haugastøl 56:50, and the night stations after Finse, Myrdal 1:40:26, Upsete 1:45:50, Mjølfjell 1:55:31, Reimegrend 2:06:08, Urdland 2:13:17, Ygre 2:21:09 and then the Voss valley after that.

[@tact86]

Great ride, Sun going down in the mountains is very pretty. Thanks!

[@cgtower8860]

Oh goodness friend, the stark darkness and isolation before you arrive at Finse is unreal. Only the occasional light on a cottage is visible along with the distant flashing of the signals. It is just breathtaking...

[@MelioraCogito]

Two minutes in and already I like. I love that you've added infographics... Cheers!

[@DanaMackstormdog94]

Excellent and I liked the station names!

[@TheWeazelNews]

Very nice job on the info capsules! Thanks for making another great video

[@metaz69u]

Thank you for the hard work involved in these. Awesomeness!

[@seboepican4344]

I love these videos

[@gustavsvj]

Awesome video(s)! The Norwegian scenery is simply epic :) Thank you so much!

[@dlyrag755]

Very relaxing and enjoyable. Just the thing after a hard days work. Thank you.

[@ao2528]

A piece of land of peace with peaceful people of Norway, love you all from far away and thanks for relaxing video, I can't explain my feeling by watching this kind of train views of Norway only.

[@aaronlovell6026]

This is beautiful, and thank you for your time and patience to post this.

[@slycat1939]

Again I am amazed and transfixed on these videos. I'm hooked. Like a daily addiction-- got to see a train ride video to get my fix for the day lol. I love your videos. This was great. Wish though you had the names of the stops later on in video was there. I was lost in the the dark. Love the Christmas lights at the end. Hadn't seen any in any Christmas day videos. Safe travels ahead my friend god bless.

[@hansquennet8357]

Those overlay comments! Lots of editing here, educational! I'd call this a work of art! Thank you!

[@RailCowGirl]

Thank you thank you :D

[@TheSm0wman]

The quality of your graphics is really high but the way in which you pinpointed the signals you were about to explain would be classed as outstandingly good at a specialist professional level! Brava!

[@JB-zl6qo]

What a treat, Thank You for the many videos!!!

[@jonahbetgen8981]

This is a Nice Video but you could leave the Signal-Infos on screen for a bit Longer

[@richardking3956]

The picture quality is amazing mate. Keep up the good work 🚾

[@Mike-sv3hj]

I loved how you described the signs and that helps me understand what you need to look out for as a engineer but, at night ...so many tunnels and no scenery is hard for me to watch. But I will follow your videos! Thank You.

[@СоставВагонов-р3п]

Circular polarizer filter kill reflects from glass of locomotive window. Thank you for sharing your amazing videos!

[@RailCowGirl]

Thanks for the tip, but i also guess I’ll lose 1 - 2 f-stops :)

[@a2.Milk85]

This is utterly breathtaking, thank you for sharing

[@e.e.6314]

Du lager nydelige videoer og dette er selvfølgelig en av dem! Fantastisk at noen vil filme dette. Forhåpentligvis er dette min fremtidige arbeidsplass

[@FoolAndHisMoney23]

Thanks for signal info and town names. Very helpful. What is an information run?

[@SirWilliamOlsen]

Dette må være den beste sovemedisinen ever. Thanks 😴

[@Jokero_YT]

Another beautiful video, I realize it's a year old but it showed up in my feed, just in time for winter season. :) . As a side note, I would've loved to see how the wheels crush that snow at that crossing right in the beginning.

[@flarrfan]

Thank you! I've watched all the Nordlandsbanen and the Bergen line multiple times...I had the signs mostly figured out except for the numbers...Now it all makes sense!

[@cristikes5477]

Superb video! Greetings from Romania!

[@robiboy100]

Thank you! A wonderful video:

[@TheGILES68]

Good to see the meaning of signals and tables. Thanks!

[@RailCowGirl]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@grantwarkentin3368]

Thanks for the annotations. Informative.

[@j.d.hutchens3561]

I just love Norway and also your videos!!

[@metatechnologist]

Dang, I think I am getting pretty good at knowing how to get around Norway now!

[@tomaskramar8876]

apsolutly amazing, great informations panels (maybe stations infos can by on other place). As always a beautiful landscape especialy at winther. Big thanks and many happy kilometers

[@TOKYOSMITH]

Stunning views! I loved it. Thank you for sharing!

[@RailCowGirl]

Thanks for watching!

[@artiren1778]

Большое спасибо за качественный контент! Очень красивые виды и прекрасные железные дороги!

[@TriumphantStranger]

I love your videos even without infos, BUT if you decide to add them, I agree with the guy who said to make them last longer, 10-15 seconds maybe, dunno. If you stop there you can even keep them on screen until you leave that station again. And maybe it's better displayed on the top center (or right, or left, but top maybe works better). If you want and you're not too shy you could even try some vlogging, talking about your job, if and how much you like it, the routes you like the most and those you don't like at all and any other facts about that job (hoping you speak english lol). But this would be just a plus, you already have the best youtube channel of this kind, great location, great train, great audio-video quality.

[@amtrakharry]

Excellent video ! Can't wait for your next video ! Thank you for sharing!!!:):):)

[@HotSpace2007DaveB]

Another great video 👍

[@ucallthatatweet]

I loved that sunset!

[@opaulsrud]

Thank you for taking the time to add the signaling info etc. To me it doesn't matter if I have to pause to read all the info, since I paused anyway to keep the sign in sight while I read the explanation. (But I can still do that even if the texts stay a few seconds longer, of course. :) )

[@techcorp]

You never disappoint :)

[@zoqaeski]

Thanks for this, it was really well done. You must have spent ages annotating the video and rendering it. As other people have suggested, I'd recommend increasing the time that the captions stay on screen, as there's a lot of text to read in ~5 seconds.

[@Bobber305]

The snow cover very much helps illuminate the night very nicely. Been wondering for quite some time what the blue/green lighted screens/boards are in the longer tunnels about every 100 feet are for? For track workers or maybe emergency communications? Use to drive truck over-the-road and this night video reminds me very much of that.

[@balmesh]

Cracking good video - loved it!

[@dave55uk]

Yet another stunning and excellent video, HinduCowGirl. Love the addition of station names & signalling information. However, I disagree with some of the other comments re time on screen - nothing wrong in a little pause here and there :-). One thing I would like to see though, if possible, is a view or picture of the train before we start. I just like to know what sort of train I'm riding LOL. Keep up the very good work, look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@RailCowGirl]

You see it on the thumb ;)

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

wow Sparks between the pantagraph and the cantonarry wires. NEVER saw that before. @ 12.50

[@nikolailikov2745]

Спасибо за видео. Очень нравится северный край. Информативно. Красивые пейзажи, ландшафт. Отличная подача материала. Обратил внимание (в начале ролика), когда камера снимала "задние планы" (поезд маневрировал) и скорость была не медленная (движения поезда) - на то, что наверное, можно было бы посмотреть и из такого ракурса какой-то длинный участок, - "картинка" на дольше "задерживается", можно многое рассмотреть. Спасибо.

[@milankanka5329]

Opäť veľmi prekrasne natočené video 😉😉😉😉😉. Pochvala a palec hore 😉😉😉😉😉. Perfektné super 😃😃😃😃😃 Veľmi prekrasne natočené video 😉😉😉😉.

[@ericschwab409]

I found additional signal info here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_railway_signaling This is s great resource for explaining the signals and signage on Norwegian railways. I couldn’t find any info about the yellow metal signs posted on the web. Some signs are still a mystery to me though. For example, the small square yellow signs that have numbers and letters on them which I think might be maintenance section markers. Other mysterious signs look like diamonds with a horizontal black stripe across the middle and I think that might mean the engineer/driver needs to sound the horn.

[@MayorOfAmerica]

I just found train videos a few weeks ago and this is my favorite. Bravo! Let's see more (nudge to anyone with a GoPro cam or similar!)

[@MayorOfAmerica]

The quality is truly stunning. I've only spent time in Colorado, my next trip will be Nordic on rails!!

[@michaelmacdonell2942]

Oh, my word. Beautiful.

[@Ravenflight104]

At 35:24 ....... Yes, that's a Circle K ...... Right in the middle of Norway !

[@Transition333]

I go to sleep every night to these videos. With an iPad 6 inches from my face in complete darkness and earbuds, I pretend I’m really there!

[@winterwolf512]

Me too, I watch about an hour almost every night, just before going to bed, it's like a visual ASMR or something, it's very relaxing and pleasant to watch.

[@moggridge1]

Very interesting and informative and of course beautiful. Thank you.

[@migi4277]

This video is phenomenal. With those signal info I felt like I was in a driver's course.

[@RailCowGirl]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@wheart]

Far better than old Bergensbanen NRK video, what's more - without annoying cowbell at every tunnel entrance and with some explanations on signaling - thank you very much! Thank you for including "original" sounds (like in all other your videos) - many people have different sound taste, so some people prefer Groms Plass, other Einherjer, yet another some dance or disco - if someone is missing a music, can play something he likes ;) I'm past Finse and still didn't find the answer to several variants of "Sound horn" sign - those with vertical line, clear one and with horizontal and vertical lines crossed. What do they mean? There is also similar sign at first technical station - with circle and dot inside) - but it seems to have nothing with horns. There are also rectangular (verctical) black signs with diagonal, yellow stripes and circle signs with yellow background and single digit (i.e. 5) - the last one looks like polish signs for radio channel but in reverse colors ;)

[@Crazydaytripper]

I love new things of telling whats going on :) Please keep up the good work :)

[@johnkeimig3025]

I LOVE these videos. One small improvement would be to speed up with time-lapse instead of chopping out content. In particular, the sunset is particularly fine in this one, and I would love to see it progress as the signals change.

[@stephendark7888]

Lovely relaxing video, How beautiful everything looks in the evening, I often go out in my car in the evening for a relaxing drive, HinduCowGirl is lucky, she can take a train.

[@PamirTea]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

Love these train videos. !! ❤️❤️

[@lynnhughes]

This just came up in my stream. Your thumbnail photo is beautiful. Just like your videos.

[@RailCowGirl]

Thanks a lot :D

[@TrainsOfEurope]

Nice video, will definitely watch this. For now: maybe but the station's name a bit less near the edge of the video. I do really like the imformation lay out for the signaling, but maybe leave it on screen for a bit longer. It is difficult to read sometimes.

[@xxvavyguy4457]

I agree. Possibly leave it on screen 5seconds longer. Maybe put station name info(the elevation info is great also) up higher on screen.

[@rayschmid7903]

I agree with the longer time for signal information. I had to pause the video to read all of each description. What is your definition of a Technical Station?

[@vt670006]

a technical stations means that its no station for passenger or goods. Only for train crossings.

[@christopherdaniel4841]

Always enjoy your videos. Am guessing the time of year here is winter coming to spring with the light lingering longer with each passing day? I am amazed how fast the lengthening and shortening of days happens at my latitude in Colorado, and can only marvel at how fast these transitions occur at the latitudes in Norway, swinging from twenty-four hours of daylight in summer to the same for winter's darkness. What an amazing and insanely beautiful place!

[@stayaway6537]

Thank you for your film.

[@justjerry8476]

I was curious about the "information" run in the beginning, thinking it was a railroad function. Finally, I figured out that it was for viewer education.

[@GEOONTUBE]

...Compliments, simply compliments: Top quality is your house brand and now with some easy to understand technical operative stuff its a perfect frame. There is only one thing missing in the Norwegian landscapes : Wild Life 'I ve just spotted one sheep along on a Myrdal Flam descent Track, some cows somewhere in the lower plains but no foxes or deers or elks, why? Has somebody an answer? Ciao, from the italian side of the "Alptransit Line" from Trenord Trenitalia Luino branch on Lake Maggiore

[@RailCowGirl]

We see them mostly at night and early mornings :) The mountain foxes and hare turn white during the winter. But yes, I do agree. One sees much more wild life other places in the world. Like norwegians, the wildlife is very shy 😂
