Scy Thanks!
Gulskogen is open to local trains only(and rush-hour trains) ;)
The two front and the two rear cars are not used for embarking or disembarking on this station. I used this station a lot a few years back, around the time this movie was filmed! Maybe I was one of those few disembarking this time?? :)
Great to see the first part of the journey on the Oslo to Bergen line. Brings back memories
Glad you liked it!
Very relaxing to watch thank you.- It feels as though I am going through my own country New Zealand - The scenery is so similar
Norway looks like a cool place to visit. Those terminals are awesome. Norwegians, be proud of what you have there.
Having seen a few videos of trips like this, including on this line, I was struck at how this one made me fell more like a tourist. Making our way out of Oslo on a bright day, and enjoying the green hills all the way to our destination, made me feel like I was on a genuine holiday.😎🌿⛱🌤
Very enjoyable. Beautiful country! Thank you for posting this.
I watched this video once before I joined the channel.Thank you for the upload. Wonderful video as always!
So far thru 19:30, other than the tunnel, the video is quite clear. I love the part where the train is made up in the yard, then brought into the station - don't get to see that too often in the videos! And the EL18 is such a quiet locomotive! Wonderful stuff. Dog
These old videos are part of this history, and you are part of this history too. Thanks a lot for these gifts 👏👏👏
Thank you. This is one of the best films of the Oslo to Al service I have seen. The making up of the train in the train yard was particularly interesting I have viewed this film many times and find new details each time. Best Wishes Ray.
I’m so glad that deer at 1:15:50 cleared the track okay. My heart was in my mouth. Great video as usual, absolutely stunning country.
Me too! :)
Cityscape to mountainscape and almost everything in between all in one journey. Wonderful! ☺☺☺☺☺☺
What beautiful, lush green and yellow fields! Love the mountains, and the rivers/lakes are pristine. Thanks for the upload!
Another great video and lovely country. Please keep them coming!
Amazing journey!!!!! I can´t wait to watch part Two (Al to Bergen)
Great Ride, Beautiful Video, Thank You!
日本に住む鉄道ファンです✨
素敵な動画でしたのでチャンネル登録しました
Thks for sharing this. Great memories of my backpacker ride Oslo to Bergen then onto Lofoten Islands
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful landscape and colors, *_HCG_* !!!
🌷🌿🐮😃👏😊🙏🐮🌿🌷
I have recently subscribed to your channel. And I decided to watch all your videos, starting from the earliest ones.
Welcome aboard! :D
@@RailCowGirl Excellent! Thanks! I love to race with you through the beautiful places of Norway! And also the tunnels! There are incredibly many of them, you can't count them! This is real rock, probably granite, and no additional support is required. Well, in general, everything is cool!
A wonderful experience of watching this video from drivers eye view..especially passing through tunnels.
During the video broadcast, I learned the road sign that informs the driver of the electric locomotive about the sound signal before the unregulated crossing. Yellow square with black stripe
Veľmi prekrásne natočené video 😉😉😉😉.
Perfektné super 😃😃😃😃.
Pozdravujem srdečne zo Slovenska 😉😉😉😉😉.
i realy enjoyed watching this thank you
Nice video.
In second half: " fifty shades of green". 😉
3:19:00 - "That's Ål, folks"
Thanks!
Beautiful video, thank you.
beautiful views..
As always awesome video.
Lovely Video Thank You.
Thanks for uploading !
A really terrific film from a railway fan in Northern Ireland
Everywhere is so neat and tidy and clean. Amazing people. Beautiful country.
I did this TH-cam trip both ways a few years back, once in winter and once in summer...awesome experience if you can't travel. I've recommended it to several people traveling to Norway.
I've been watching your videos for a while and was wondering when you'd update your channel. Great job. Thanks.
great vid even better 2nd time round happy easter bob.
Wow your country is very beautiful.Please make more videos,I loved it.
that's really marvellous
The rolling fields and farmhouses look much like those here in the U.S. So beautiful!
Besides the deer already mentioned, there's a moose (I guess) at 03:06:00 on the right side of the track.
Thanks for the beautiful videos!
You Sir/Madam, have exceptionally good eye sight. I had to look thrice, even though I knew when and where to look.
I thought it was a horse .... It's awfully dark to be a moose ... and it has a white back leg.
but I'm no expert ... you might be right
Excellent views, deer crossing the rail road at 1:15:53
Hello. Congratulations on video, beautiful landscapes and also the rail network, very well organized. I see your video in 1080p HD - Chrome, the picture is clear.
Longest tunnels ever...I woke up at 44 minutes because the train stopped for a while....O.o...Great video thanks...
Viagem maravilhosa.Muito agradecida,por poder viajar por lugares tão exuberantes,com uma natureza tão rica, criada pelo nosso Pai Eterno. Muito,muito agradecida por postar tão maravilhoso vídeo.
Oi Maria Cristina, há outros vídeos no youtube com viagens de trem, com paisagens lindas e, tudo isso tem as "Mãos de Deus".
Ah,isso é uma grande verdade.Toda a natureza declara a gloria do Eterno Pai,bela e perfeita.
Amém.

Lovely train ride, thank you for uploading!
Names of stations would be helpful so you could see where it was on maps. Otherwise a very good video.
Ron Breska j
Yes...big Yes to having names of places so one could find on a map! I love these videos. I can actually forget that I am not actually there. (like a well made movie!)
13:45 Elisenberg ghost station
Wikipedia: Elisenberg Station (Norwegian: Elisenberg stasjon) is an unfinished railway station within the Oslo Tunnel on the Drammen Line in Oslo, Norway. The ghost station was partially built during the construction of the tunnel between 1971 and 1980, but has never been put into use. It is located between Nationaltheatret Station and Skøyen Station, at Elisenberg in Frogner. A 220-meter (720 ft) long center platform and part of the access way has been built, but never completed. While the station initially was not put into use because of lack of funds to complete it, it is now unlikely that it will ever be completed, as the need for a station has disappeared and an opening would need a large investment of funds.
@dana Mack: that's odd. I uploaded it as 1080p might take some time to process it used almost 9 hours from finished upload until it finally showed up in the stream :)
I will look into it :D
I can watch it in HD with Chrome, but only in 360 with Firefox. Odd...
c
@Brother Jake's Reconnaissance It's good now, if you're still interested. You Tube messed with people's uploads too.
VERY GOOD.
Good video. I notice at 2 30 56 there is building that is round I take to have been a tower if it was/is it the only round tower I ever saw.
Water tower for filling the steam engines. Of course not in use anymore :p
Very nice clip! I work as "tågklarerare" (togekspeditör) in Sweden. Any chance you could record the new double track section along Mjösa? I can't find anything of that on TH-cam. :)
Oh my... Is that deer that crossing railway at 1:15:52? Right in front of the train!!!
These roe deers are quite common on this stretch of the railway
Hi, almost finished viewing. Was trying to figure out border of Norway and Sweden...or?? Would have been nice to have subtitles and names of stations. Great video. Hope to see more of your stuff we are subscribed. I think I may have viewed the connected video to this one some time ago,.
I'm amazed at the acceleration from standstill..... is it loco only or are there any cars?
really nice ride.... thanks!
What a great journey! Thank you very much for sharing. I noticed the loco was an EL18, do you know the weight of the composition (or in alternative the number of coaches)?
Rui Pina 8 Cars of Type 7. Don't remember the weight of composition, but it's pretty standard :)
HinduCowGirl ok, 400-500 T, good performance of that EL18 :)
Rui Pina Yep :) perfect combo.
El 18 weighs in at 96t and each of the 8 Type 7 coaches weighs 40 tons, so a total weight of 416tons, so its on the light side for a long-distance locomotive-hauled train in Norway
Nice video
Thanks
@@RailCowGirl your welcome
Really nice scenery, anyway you can redo or re-upload it to youtube-? Also which camera/lens were used-? Thankyou.
What a difference 5 years makes both in video quality and ridership (seems like a lot less crowds at the stops) these days.
Is this locomotive El 18? It sounds just like VR Sr2 when accelerating and braking.
Yes it is a El 18.
Epensar que nomeu Brasil enorme esse transporte de passageiros é esquecido.
Please keep your Uninterrupted rail videos coming. Watching each one is beautiful and helps me meditate and relax. My complements to your track team, those roadbeds seem perfect. Jim in Philadelphia
Thank you, from a railway worker at this stretch. (The roadbed isn't very good once you start digging further down)
nice
Anybody else see the deer jump off the tracks to the right at about 1:15:54?
Yes, a small tan deer. :)
Yes, it's a roe deer, quite common in this area
What type camera did you use? I'm watching this in 480p and the quality is still very good.
13:49 is that the unfinished Elisenberg Station on the left?
Yup that is Elisenberg.
Oslo Tunnel @10:20 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Tunnel
Bærum Tunnel @20:52 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A6rum_Tunnel
Lieråsen Tunnel @32:07 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lier%C3%A5sen_Tunnel
Anyhow, beautiful scenery - what type of locomotive was it? Thanks, Dog
The locomotive is an NSB El 18, a modded variant of the Swiss SBB-CFF-FFS Re 460, with a top speed of 200km/h.
très belle vidéo - dommage que le nom des gares ne soit pas indiqué , on aurait put reviser notre géographie
merci
may i use a couple of clips from this for a music video i'm making for my nephew?
+Matt Graham sure :)
I forgot to mention that somewhere along the track is a three car work train that rolled off the track down a bank. It's at a point where the train has to go real slow round a tight bend.
Sure is a lot of travelling through those dark tunnels. Are they through mountains or just below residential areas?
Hei! Skal du ut å kjøre i påsken? Hadde vært moro med en cabride over Roa :-)
This video gave me tunnel vision.
v.nice
Thank you!
What train is it?
What are the strobe like lights in the tunnels
Emergency lighting to illuminate the escape path, they have a backup battery in case of a power outage.
Anybody knows what are the white cylinders on the left / right of the track 1:23:05
Hay rolls :) we call them tractor eggs 😂
@@RailCowGirl Aaaah OK - tractor eggs :)))), very well packaged ; thanks for the answer and btw very nice videos !!!
muito bom
2:41:15 - Someone you know in that house? :)
Final score: Train: 2, Birds: 0.
Love watching videos like this, but on 2 x the speed.
Trying to figure out how long it would take for a conductor to recognize if someone was walking on the railroad tracks in front of them. If anyone has any information on how much time a conductor would normally have to blow the whistle when spotting someone, that would help. Also, how fast is the train going between 38:39 and 38:58?
+NoNameC68 Max track speed by these kinds of trains in Norway is usually 130-140 km/h. Mainly due to the old layout of the tracks, not the engines. But this train does not tilt, so it has to keep this limit even if the track is better.
The part of the track they are on at 38:30, is however a high speed track, rebuilt for the oslo airport express, from Drammen-Oslo-Gardermoen. So the speed COULD be over 200 km/h with a different train.
+NoNameC68 The Trackspeed is 130 km/h between 38:39 and 38:58, you could not drive any faster than that with another train.
At 38:56 there is a yellow triangular sign pointing down with a "9" on. It means the speed limit is down to 90km/h. The track speeds vary greatly, depending mainly on the curvature of the track, as the track itself allows for higher speeds than this. It can be up to 130 km/h at the straignts, and all the way down to 40-50 km/h in the curviest sections
HinduCowGirl, let me be the first to say thank you so much for taking me on the best journey of my life! The scenery is so beautiful. I love long train rides. You're so lucky to ride this awesome train cab in Norway. This is a stupid question, but are some of the train stations closed permanently? I noticed it when it bypassed the stops.
Yea a lot of the stations are closed for passenger travel. Some of the bypasses are stations served by other trains, before Drammen.
Now I understand. Thank you so much. I've always wondered why the stops were bypassed.
Most stations have platforms and are for people to travel to and from. Local trains stop at most of these. Other stations are just for the trains, if the need should arise to switch around, wait for other trains to pass by or whatever.
Long distance region trains only stop at the bigger stations, or the stations with the most people going on/off
Yes, a lot of the stations are closed down for passengers, especially after Hokksund Stasjon (57:00)
wonder if its difficult to change work to tram or traindriver at the age of 34+ from busdriving
Jeeezz, must be costly to lay tracks in Norway with all the tunnels needed?
Very - large landmass (a little bigger than Germany), with an enormous coastline and small population (5.2mill) spread all over makes it very costly to both lay track and roads. Many tunnels and many bridges needed.
I'm not understanding the point of the horn. Around the 1:30:00 area there's a lot of horn usage but doesn't really seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Crossings are scarce and I can't see any obstructions on the track ahead. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
It may be the horn is used to scare away animals. Where there are forests there are likely to be deer and elk.
Whenever he passes a yellow diamond shaped sign with a black horizontal bar across it he gives a single blast of his horn. It seems the crossings he encounters after passing this type of sign are the unprotected ones, single traffic lane, foot path, etc. and with no active crossing protection. The grade crossings that have bells, lights and crossing arms that come down don't get a horn blast.
Horns are fun too
That is correct, jp law (from a railway worker at this stretch)
jp law: That's not quite true. In HCG's Flåm line videos, there are crossings that get a horn blast even though they are gated.
22:50 looks like the train jumped the tracks and took off down a highway...lol
Hi: I don't know if you were aware of this, but as usually your videos are good quality HD, you might wish to know this one is only at 360p, not high quality. I really want to watch the video, but in HD. It would be a great video and a nice long one! Can you advise? Thanks, Dog
Dana Mack Better now? :D It just took some time before the HD-version process completed :D
This train seems bouncy. I think I'd get sea sick. :)
Hi: The first minute or so are really crisp but then 20 minutes in you can really see that the video becomes blurry. I don't know what happened. Thanks for looking into it. Dog
Dana Mack Been looking an reading about that too, it's a way youtube handles bandwidth to make sure that everyone gets what's needed. And I've also noticed from several other vids that trees, grass and bushes gets blurry when moving - truly annoying.
The locomotive is the Norwegian configuration of RE460, knows as EL18 :)
Un venado a 1:15:54
328 ton is the weight for the cars itself. The loco is 96 ton.424 ton is the total weight for the whole train. Its 227 m long and the breaking % is 147. Eatch car is 26 m long and the loco is 19 m long.
+paul vindal 147% brake capacity? In Italy, on the regional trains I drive, it is usually between 100 and 115 %. We have a series of EMU with 130 % and an EMU used on International Traffic with Switzerland which has 145 %. But I also drove a regional train with 65 % (four unfitted coaches out of eight)!
Thats is correct. When u have 8 cars of type B7 on those trains them u have bracking % of 147 if all cars is in brake groupe R og R + Mg.
Damn, we don't have the type R brakes. Are you referring to the magnetic field brakes? We cannot use them in Italy due to one of our train protection systems which uses continuous inductive pulse code cab-signalling on most of the double track lines here (the system is overlying the SCMT, the Italian discontinuous Train Protection System).
+Fabrisíus In norway we have two Brake settings that we use on loco hauled passanger trains. R and P. R have the best brakes. we always use R except a few times. We also have magnetic brakes in addition to that. But we dont add that brake into the breaking %. Because we only use it in emergansy breaking.
OK, we only have two settings, P used for passenger trains (Passeggeri) and M for freight trains (Merci).
Look at 0:00 and compare that to 10:26, even at 10:12 before you entered the tunnel it was sharper than 10:26. Dog
Hi: Here is an example from another author at 1080p that is crisp - I wonder if it is your camera, but I doubt it since your video from Halden to Oslo was sharp: th-cam.com/video/WC9DH2l1vtU/w-d-xo.html&feature=em-uploademail
[cabinerit] A train driver's view: Alkmaar - Den Bosch, VIRM, 18-Jun-2015.
Still a nice video - perhaps you can reload it and see what happens? Dog
At 1:53 I thought he ran out of petrol and forgot to fill up.
Lol. Remember at this point he is engine only. He stops to reverse into the track where the carriages are. He even takes the camera to the other end of the engine so we can watch. :)
Correction, she ;)
1:21:52 and 1:26:03 RIP birds 😟
Hi, I see a yellow shield with a horizontal black mark in its centre. What does that shield mean?
If you hear the horn by that sign, it means you have to sound the horn in front of a level crossing.
nishioka.com/trainmap/7o7ecadHJmU.html is a page I built to show the position of this train on Google Maps.
Fantastic! Thanks so much.
Hey great!
(Can make good use of my 2560x1440 now...)
