So happy to see you're back ❤️ I hope everything turned out fine and that you could take care of yourself and rest for a while. All the best wishes to my fav train driver 💕🤗

Absolutely amazing. You make these troubling times so much easier to deal with. Thank you does not even begin to cover it.

[RARDingo]

For someone that lives in a country where few people will ever see snow, this is facinating! Thank you. 🙂

Today, Japanese TV program introduced the Bergen Line. I'm glad because it showed Oslo, Geilo, Mýrdal, Flam, Voss, and Bergen station and that's exactly what I saw in these videos.
I hope to visit beautiful Norway someday.

Tack så mycket! I am a Swede but I live since many years in Germany. Norway is a beautiful country.

[jakeeasterwood]

We were created to admire and marvel at the magnificent artistry nature has sculpted.

Norway by rail is most certainly one of nature’s greatest masterpieces.

I’m a 15+ year veteran of the railroad industry…I’ve worked all over the continental US - I’ve seen some pretty beautiful country in my career…form the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to Glacier National Park in Montana…I can definitely say that your line is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Cool to see the beautiful scenery of your country now too.

Great to see you back, I’ve missed not having a regular fix of your vids. Hope the new job is going well.

I watch all these train videos from all sources. This three hour plus video wins the academy 🥇 award for train videos. Best video picture quality and best content. Love the weather transitions. Congratulations on this one. You have many great videos to watch and this is the leader ! Cheers 🍻

Hello from Russia! Some species are so similar to our native Urals. The same great mountains and snow-covered Spruces. The quality of the tracks is just impressive, almost no joints at the tracks and the train rides completely silently and such a huge number of tunnels. Thank you for your hard work!

[aprylrittenhouse]

This is awesome yes i liked it. Im a country gal havnt been in big city for 30 yrs. Im awestruck at the sheer number of individual lives going on at the same time in this world. As you drove out of oslo thats what struck me all the people with places of their own to go.

[TheMrFarkle]

The complexity of the rails in the beginning boggles my mind. Such ingenuity to plan, and to operate the switches!

[MrCarlsonsLab]

Thanks for taking the time to make these! Very enjoyable with a morning coffee :^)

[coherentmud]

Woohoo, I'm back on the train again, in a vicarious sort of way. Not a bad feat for someone stuck in Australia. Thank you for all your videos, such beautiful scenery.

[BobAndersson]

Lovely to have you back and I don't mind in the slightest that this is footage from last year. You're a national treasure! 🥰

[Dhowlan]

I love the Norwegian scenery, and I've always loved snow. A perfect combination. ☺

[stevef]

Among all your videos, all of which are superb, a few stand out. This is one of them. I love the narrative; the story told throughout. Shunting, pickup and journey, with the atmosphere that only rainy and snowy weather can provide. Love it!
Maybe one of the last passenger trips and nice new graphics!

[servantofmelian]

Thanks RCG. I didn't realize how much I needed a Norwegian train video.

[hughmnyks]

I love the graphics and all the info. I try to follow train journeys in Norway on Kartverkets map, so its grand to have all the details! I also appreciate the total lack of fish-eye effect as well as the wide field of view! The shunting before setting off is an excellent idea!
