TRAIN DRIVER'S VIEW: Working the local on a cold winter day

- The Voss Line used to be a narrow gauge independent line from 1883 until 1909 when it merged with the Bergen Line.
The Voss Line was constructed as a narrow gauge (1067mm) and this proved to be a challenge since the Bergen line was being constructed with normal gauge (1435mm). So, one night in August 1904 they converted the line to normal gauge. During the preparations for the merge, several tunnels had to be widened and many curves had to be straightened.
The remanence of the old layout can be seen on several places on the trip.
Today marks the winter solstice. The "shortest" day of the year. We will finally have longer and longer days. Sunrise 9:42am, sunset 3:22pm.
Enjoy!

@@RailCowGirl Yes - I like that so much ! *waves* from Germany ! :O)
These videos have reduced my work productivity to a bare minimum, takk
Lovely video! And something different! I love the captions of the train class and station names! Thanks.

Wow lots of great information. Thank you so much for sharing the views of your lovely country with us around the world.
Teri Fisher
Oh thank you for the walk around and through the train before we got started. That was special.
Thank you! It's so beautiful that I don't find words. The gloomy beauty and power of nature in these cliffs and sleeping waterfalls, this whole atmosphere excites and fascinates me. I think if I could choose where to live the next life, I would only choose Norway. At any time of the year, she's amazing...
I love this train from Bergen to Voss. I have done the trip several times and always stood over for some days at the superb Fleischer's Hotel in Voss before going back to Bergen. What an adventure and what a wonderful time I had! I love Norway and would live there.
I love the tour of the train at the start! I can't wait to sit down and watch this later. :) I absolutely love your videos!
Wow! I liked that you moved one train up to the station and then drove another at the beginning. What an spectacular journey for a local. Ours here in Brisbane Australia are totally boring by comparison. I really liked the long tunnel and then out into the bright city lights at the end. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Cheers
no doubt about it. You make the best train can ride videos. 🤗 I like the walkarounds and walk thrus. I put these videos on my tv at night and lay in bed with them running.
Another great Video, nice to see the river in a calmer mood this time, and all those frozen waterfalls and cascades, Beautiful
Hello HCG, my brother worked on track electronics from Jackson, MS to Chicago,IL, USA for many years (now retired). The stories he told. I just found these vids a few days ago, and I am spellbound ! I always wanted to get a ride in a train engine , but my brother could not make it happen with management. BUT now I can drive the train EVERY day, Thanks To You !! I set these to "fullscreen" and "loop", and fall asleep in a "sleeper car" in my living room, forrested with 10 Christmas trees, nearly every nite !! I particularly like the snow scenes, where snow has completely covered the tracks ! I also love the walk-arounds, the history, and the track signal explanations. I am there ! THANK YOU !!
The beauty of it is just ridiculous.
Wow, another outstanding video from magnificent Norway! This time not train, but a metro (tube) line :-) Thank you for posting.
Milan Dupal
This is not a metro line. It’s a commuter-train run by the same company (NSB -the Norwegian state railway).
superdresser I know, just joke concerning plenty of tunnels.
As a Canadian living next to The Rocky Mountains, it hurts me terribly to say Norway is every bit as beautiful as any mountain view!!!! Thanks for posting!
Loved it!! Watched most of your videos and enjoy them. Sometime you need to show us all what you look like!!
I don't remember the video's name but you can see her at 57:00 walking in front of the cab and taking a picture. Very good looking with dark hair and maybe 5'7". Looks to be in her twenties.
Great video! This is one of my favorite trains, love the retro appearance
Very enjoyable. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing another great video. Always look forward to watching your posts. Happy Christmas!
As always, You present the beautyful landscape and the very well maintained railway of Your country in a very professional way. always nice to see. But this one is a very special for me personally. Because the 21.12. is my birthday. What a present You made to me, without kowing about it!!! Thanks a lot from a only wet and dusky Germany. No Snow, nowhere....
Happy belated Birthday! 🎁 🎂😃
Well, you have gone and done it again and produced a wonderful cab ride. What can I say..... Said it before but I will say it again, Happy Christmas to you and have a great new year. Looking forward to more cab rides. Best wishes as always...👍🏼
I don't know what I liked more. The walk outside or the walk through the train.
My first time discovering you videos. An amazing ride seeing exactly what the driver sees. Some of the scenery outside the tunnels, breathtaking. I am definitely subscribing, thank you.
Great video, the opening sequence made it very "first person perspective".
Oooo! *Thank You* for the little tour of the cabin and control spaces!
My father used to "chase" trains just to watch them as they worked; I would tag-along and enjoy learning about our railroads here in the southeast United States. When I was even younger, I witnessed the waning years of the Skaneateles Short Line railroad in Skaneateles, New York -- Father built a scale model of it in its prime in the days of stream (I would watch him do this for hours - I was his little assistant!). Such memories!! :-)
Terrific HCG. Haven't time to watch all of it now but I'll be back!
A wonderful ride. A different journey but just as pleasing and enjoyable as all of your productions. Happy Holidays to you.
Again another awesome video and really enjoyed it. I'm hooked on these now lol. Thank you too for the information above. God bless and safe travels always.
After being quite sick for Christmas ( IV insert and pump!) watching this video has really cheered me up.
I now hope to visit Norway some day, try some lutefisk and ride the trains!!!!
man, i like your videos a lot, with walking, intro of the train. very rare and great work. Best regards from Romania... :)
Great video as usual..thank you.
Another great video! Thanks for all your amazing uploads this year. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! Best wishes from the UK.
I could watch this for an hour and twenty minutes! Just kidding, loved every minute of it.
Even the local has amazing views! So glad I found your channel!
HinduCowgirl I watched all your videos more than once learn something new every time love them thanks
An excellent video, thank you. The captions were very helpful as my wife and I did this journey (from Myrdal) last August.
tyvm for this, I think the drivers are wonderful to work in all weathers
You made my day girl! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Italy!
Thank you! You too!
Train videos are the best.
Wow! What a beautiful world to emerge into after the long darkness. Can understand how a snake must feel
Thank you for the tour, it was fabulous💜
Thank you for nice video. Intro was super!
Fantastic! Just what was needed before the holidays. Thanks so much for your efforts in creating these videos. I was surprised to see a goods train! Awesome!
I love to watch your videos and watch the houses go by. As they do, I wonder who lives in them and what they do for a living, and what do they like to do for fun.
It's nice to just kick back in the recliner and let your videos play on the television.
Please Ms HinduCowGirl... Post more of these wonderful videos. Having watched one every day, my daily intake of the amazing Norwegian countryside would appear to be coming to a somewhat sad and ignominious end...
Great Cab Ride! Going to have to visit those parts one day!
Thanks for another beaut video. Due to all the ‘white stuff’ ⛄️, I’m happy to consider this to be a Christmas gift 🎄 to all your subscribers. All the best for 2018 🐨🇦🇺.
I could watch this forever!
I visited Voss by Bubblecar back in the 1960s! This looks a more comfortable way of travelling!
Oh my, that must have been a tight experience ;)
You can see photos of our epic journey to Norway on TH-cam with others under the title MESSERSCHMITT PHOTOS FROM THE 1960s Part 2
Awesome video!! Very Beautiful scenery. Keep up the good work.
Great video as usual..thank you.good luck
this is oddly refreshing to watch after a 100f day :)
With that beautiful scenery, you must get bored with all those tunnels. Great video ! :O)
Another nice cabride in breathtaking Bergen line!I spoted a Green cargo Traxx on Bergen freight terminal btw..Happy holidays!
Piękne widoki i trasa. Film doskonale zrealizowany. Super, aż chce się tam być.
Another memorable journey. Thank you!
Very good and relaxing video's. Thanks and keep up the good work. Happy Holidays.
Pretty much my favorite day of the year :P ♡WINTER!♡
Glad you like it :D
I love the videos. Especially the snow ones. Please keep them coming. Awesome!!!
BTW, nice video in the tunnels and coming out of them
Hinducowgirl, I love your videos and I've become addicted to them. The Information you've inserted here and there is very helpful, Thank you for sharing.
Awesome. Thank you!! 👍👍
Yet again fantastic video fantastic country . Have a safe and fun christmas Ms Hindu cowgirl from Australia
Thank you for this awesome video. Really enjoyed it :)
The snows gone here in Scotland, well not on the mountains, so on Xmas day i'm playing one of your snow videos pushing the snow away when doing a run. Merry Crimbo to everybody. (there something about the train in deep snow and lovely countryside.)
How beautiful... great THX!!! ♥
Great video! :)
My new hobby: watching train vids
i've never been on a commuter train but those are pretty quick stops. no waiting around.
Vokst opp med Bergensbanen og mange venner som er/var lokförer har jeg faktisk angret på at jeg ikke valgte det yrket. Men dine videoer er en fin kompensasjon. Takk for det!! Nå kan jeg sitte ved PCen og storskjerm og "kjöre".
Thank very much for this video.
Merry Chrismas to you.
Bardzo dobry film. W sferze faktograficznej precyzyjny. W sferze emocjonalnej interesujący. Bardzo dobry film, prawie jak Tima.
Here in the North East of England, they are still running diesel multis on local lines, :)
Great Video. Thanks for posting.
ah ha ... 0.04 ...press + to start play ... loving it already !
Watching these videos with the speed x2 is awesome.
It almost feels like at 88mph it's possible the flux capacitor fires up and can go back in time.
Svært interressant :) Tusen takk for turen. Takk ogso for notisane på kvar av stasjonane.
Ellers ynskjer eg deg og dine ei rettelig god jul :)
I see a funkwerk MESA 25, I press like. ;)
Very Nice.
Yeah, this is the trip i've v.v. made last august with exactly the same 'older model?' train not the fancy hi-tech new ones you shoot most of your fabulous footage with :)
Hello from USA Railcowgirl💜
Hello :D ❤️
Another super video! A viewer of your videos can tell that you really love your job. You show it. You make videos. You use captions to indicate the stations, and different aspects of your job (type of locomotive, what signals and signs mean, and answer questions willingly). As mentioned before, I really love your videos! They can be watched over and over without getting boring.
I do have a question: At 1:11:30 there is a track that branches off to the right. Where does that go? It doesn't get used much given the rust of the rail. Thanks so much for another great video!!!
Hey Swarf :D
The track you see that goes to the right is the old line around the mountain to Garnes and Arna. the old line is today a heritage line with steam train that runs every Sunday during summer. Before Arnanipa and Ulriken tunnel opened the line swirled around both mountains Garnes - Arna - Haukeland - Bergen.
You can find more information about the heritage line here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Voss_Line
Great film. Noticed that some of the stations were built in nineteenth century. And some as late as the nineteen sixties
A beautiful trip! The scenery is magnificent, even in winter.
Given the relatively light ridership, this line probably would not be economically feasible to construct today. The cost of constructing all those tunnels would make it very expensive.
something beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
@@RailCowGirl what happened when you don't record...😢
sure bet a lot of people once you stepped into the cab of the train, the first thing they saw was the wheel, and they thought, a Steering wheel on a train, Really???? LOL
very beautiful!)
Lækkert - Vakre, vide, vene VOSS 😀💖 😎
Gotta love it ❤️
Nagyon jó videó Gratulálok! 🚄
27 varmegrader her I Orlando, Florida i dag. Passer bra da å se på litt norsk vinter mens jeg lytter på en lydbok, Ken Follet - Pillars of the Earth.
Kjempeflotte videoer - venter spent på flere! God Jul og Godt Nytt År!
Bytter gjerne med deg ;) Her er det regn og passe trist akkurat nå :p
Haha, ja det kan jeg tenke meg!
Vi har jo ikke akkurat noe bra tog system her, har akkurat fått et lokal tog, Sunrail men det er ikke så mye å skryte av.
Her er et par bilder: 500px.com/photo/207257523/sunrail-debary-station-by-b-wooster
Og her er et nytt album jeg tok i forrige uke: imgur.com/a/wJbhr
Ikke akkurat Acela Express det der, nei. Heller ikke Sprint-produktet de lanserer i disse dager?
Nei, det er rickety-rackety!
Utseendemessig er de jo ikke gale men... Vel, du kan se for deg selv: th-cam.com/video/2PCnTpLPcrk/w-d-xo.html
great vid thanks!
Great video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :D
The BM69 must be totally different to drive compared to the El18, with the "steering wheel" throttle.
THE best train my Friends
nice video lovely
If that’s you softly talking may I say you have a beautiful voice!
Look likes me when playing Train sim world hehe.
LOL! but this is the best sim out there ;) REAL :p
É muito bom viagem de trem
Nice!
Gostei muito da viagem
Another great video, and this time you have really spoilt us. Views of the outside and inside of the train - excellent stuff HCG. Over here (in the UK), we have websites that allow us to search for a train, follow it's progress and even see it on a signalling type diagram (www.opentraintimes.com/maps and www.realtimetrains.co.uk/). Are there such websites for NSB? - would be fascinating to see if there was. Merry Christmas HCG and to all your followers.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too :)
