4K CAB VIEW: Evening Express Train over the Mountain pass

Taking the evening express over the mountain pass from Bergen (Norway). Again we see that the mountain pass is the boarder between two weather systems. It's now August and the light has started to change into a more autumn like brightness because of the cooler temperatures, crisp air and being lower in the sky. My favorite time of the year. Sadly two pigeons did not have the needed velocity to escape the train, and you can see the connection memorial site at Ustaoset right after the tunnel.

Enjoy!

All my adult life (a long time now) I have dreamed I was travelling. All my dreams involve travelling through places I've never seen before. And now I have discovered your videos, I enjoy watching these landscapes glide by as sleep slowly overtakes me. They have a solemn, measured beauty. Thank you!

[icositetrachoron]

This makes me relaxed and kind of envious at the same time
Norwegian trains seem pristine, the weather and landscapes look like what I'd imagine heaven looks like. Not to mention how sparsely populated it is. I could only dream of such a place

[alexdreamer]

I love everything about this video and others of yours. The misty mountains and the way the houses sit alongside lakes and cling to hillsides. The incredible length of some of the tunnels which amaze me. The different colours in the scenery. Such a beautiful part of the world.

This is a beautiful Summer train ride in such a beautiful environment. The Sun works so well with you in this video as it shines from behind you and lights up what is in front of you. Bits and pieces of this run are other-worldly and I just love them … other pieces are just so cozy village, warm field and Summer-friendly. So much good viewing in one video. The run between 2:25:44 to 2:28:05 transported me to a whole, new, alien world. Thank you so much for taking me there!❤❤❤

1968 bin ich mit dem CVJM in Haugastöl komment von Oslo ausgestiegen und weiter mit dem Bus nach Balestrand in die Jugendherberge gefahren. Hier begann unsere kleine Rundreise.

[ericbrett]

Such scenery. I would never get tired of that job.

A train enthusiast here from South Africa.. Absolutely breathtaking views and exceptional engineering. Thank you so much.

[leadminer]

I rode this line on a holiday from Bergen to Flamm then on to Oslo.
Beautiful scenery and people. Thank you for reviving the memory. 🙏🥰

[clarkhauser]

I live how the light shines when the train is coming out the tunnel.

[bonniemckenney]

what a beautiful ride in the land of waterfalls. I loved it all.

My first trip abroad was to Norway, aged 11, after my primary school teacher read us the Scandinavian myths, I nagged my ma and pa, and they gladly relented. We stayed in Voss at that time. I’ve always loved Norway and have been back twice since that early visit as a little boy. On my last visit I saw Kraftwerk play in Bergen and then took the morning train to Oslo to see them play the following evening there. That in itself was such a beautiful train journey. Best Wishes to Norway, I too wished I lived in your beautiful country. ❤️

Great scenery, the river was very high and looked so close to the train in some places. I was picking out which house I would like to be mine for the best view from my deck !
Thanks for this as always !

[palak]

I have been travelling so much all my life, some by Rail particularly in Europe and The US. Now its only a dream to get out doors with all the restrictions due to the pandemic. Its so real from the cab that I feel like I'm back on the road. Super footage and I can even feel the cold in some of the scenes. Thanks for this and there are a few routes that I also remember travelling on which I replay now with nostalgia and enjoy the view

[pebsgeology]

These are the most peaceful, relaxing, moments for me during a hectic stress-filled day.

What a great and awesome view. Tq for showing us your awesome vid. Keep up an awesome good work. Fan from Malaysia.

The driver's seat on the locomotive you are driving looks lovely and comfortable, and I suspect is adjustable enough to give you as much leg room as you desire... unlike the pox-ridden cramped driver's seats I had to endure on the British Rail class 150 DMUs that eventually caused me to take early retirement after 40 years service.... Retirement is however the best job I've ever had.... Enough about me.... You always make intersting and scenic videos...

[deevancheg]

Great video. Special thanks for the signatures indicating the stations and time.

[tonybrigner]
