TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Washer, track 12 and then Oslo - Ål in 4K UltraHD

[@davidrumolo422]

Am always amazed at the complexity of railyards and that the trains manage to get to the right spot after crossing multiple switches. Thanks for these vids!

[@spikespa5208]

And it's interesting to ponder how much is going on under your feet in some cities.

[@studytips6366]

Am always too😀😀😀

[@charleslloyd4253]

Seeing the Oslo yard is interesting. When you think of the progression since the first passenger line called the trunk. Most lines before that were horse or oxen powered. The advancements are staggering. Through both world wars to exploding with advancements after world war two. Hats off to the engineers, construction people, electricians and those that funded the projects

[@bruceb3786]

I really DO like these pre-trip walks thru the City, terminal and rail yard before departure..... I am SOOOO there !!!! Thank you HCG !!

[@liujunming85]

That's part is very intersdting.

[@MoultrieGeek]

I'm with you Mr. B, HCG's pre-trip walks show a side of her job that most of us will never see. It's a nice personal touch.

[@Robofish12]

Oslo is an amazing city, and seeing it brings the great memories of exploring it back in February 2020 before things went crazy. It feels like a lifetime ago, but seeing videos like this brings me right back and makes me long to travel back to Norway.

[@BlackWolf.]

Fantastic stuff👍👍. Even better, im a lucky guy that can be able to work on this Line every day as a conductor. And be a collegue with HCF. She is a fantastic driver. It is a Plessure to be riding along in the coaches when she is driving. Great stuff ❤❤

[@wolfgangwolters2489]

hallo Paul.we have been travelling on the bergen lien on the 12. June this year, 12:03 departure from Oslo, planned leaving at 13:43 ;-) during the whole trip there wer no passenger standing an lokking for a free seat, must you have a reserved seat to travel with this train??

[@Frank-bn6mb]

Hello Paul, watching these great vids I wonder how many people are on this train regularly because at the stations I hardly see any people baord it?

[@BlackWolf.]

Hello. In the summertime the trains is normalty fully booked. But most of the pax is traveling between Oslo and Bergen. Aslo Oslo/Myrdal/Voss and Bergen/Voss/Myrdal. There is traffic on other stations too but not on the same scale. Except Geilo in the winter seson.

[@Frank-bn6mb]

Thanks Paul, I was already wondering if the line is profitable or not.

[@andrewpalm2103]

Greetings from Wisconsin! Thank you so much for the great videos. I especially like the yard and washer trackage with overhead wire. I grew up in Michigan City, Indiana in the 50's and 60's where the South Shore RR shops and HQ were located. It is an electric line that is still in operation, including some street running. I'm old enough to remember the freight GE boxcabs and 800 class "Little Joes" as well as the 1926-vintage Pullman passenger MU cars. Many times I rode on the front platform next to the motorman. Please keep it up. Cheers.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

The design of those orange trains in the beginning is just... amazing!! The curves are so cool looking!!

[@catsandcrows8880]

I commute daily on a 45min ride to work (Kongsvinger banen), would think I got too tired of trains but just enjoy this channel too much 💜 And I love trains ❤️

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

My mother loved taking the trains when she visited Norway. I hope to someday have the same experience. 😊

[@leifstrandbech769]

Tak for den info, men hvorfor nedlægge en station. On the S-train in København, we had a station bay the name of "EngHave/MeadowsGarden", than they removed it 100m and its name are now "Carlsberg" hmmm

Sam Aikens: If you google "the Bergen Line" wikipedia has a detailed listing of the route with distance marks , stations, tunnels, and bridges. Helps following the train. Just hit pause at distance mark and then look at the wiki map.

[@PCDoctorUSA]

I love train travel and your system in Norway appears to be top shelf. It's too bad that the US still views rail travel as some type of third world option. I'd rather be comfortable in a rail car than crammed into an aluminum tube 30k feet above the ground, and that's after standing in a line to take off my shoes and belt. Keep the videos coming!

[@JuarezFioravantiFilho]

Interesting effect when the train enter some tunnels and vibrate a little. The lights become waves, and some looked like fast worms!

Meeting the eastbound trains is almost the same as in early april: 55:40 freight (timber) El14 @ Mjøndalen; 1:34:00 Express with El18 @ Tyristrand; 2:14:25 freight with El16 @ Trolldalen; but: 2:30:15 freight with traxx3 187 401 - 5 @ not @ Bergheim, just @ Flå. What a difference the may makes!

Watching these great vids i was wondering if you have to shift back to Oslo after you leave the train in Al because that would get you to a days work? I also notice that sometimes you drive from Bergen to Al and sometimes from Oslo and of course also vice versa. Is this shifting a company policy in order to not get you bored having to drive the same stretch over and over again?
