4K CABVIEW: FREIGHT NIGHT on the Bergen Line

It's finally freight night on the Bergen Line! We're going from Ål to Bergen on this trip. In Bergen we'll be going around with Locomotive and pulling out on the Kronstad track which was part of the original Vossa Line. The Vossa Line opened in 1883 and Bergen station opened in 1913. The line was first a narrow gauge but was converted to normal gauge in 1909 with the completion of the Bergen Line. After pulling out on the Kronstad track we'll be slipping back into the freight terminal.

This was very relaxing and I was falling asleep...until I heard that horn on full blast and just about fell out of my bed. 😅

This is a wonderful pre Christmas treat for us. Gee, now those speed modifier signs below the speed limit triangles can be ignored by you as you move the freight Norway needs. It is nice that Green Cargo is allowing you to film so a big thank you to them for it.+

I have always been a creature of the night. A lifetime of late nite working, the mystique of the darkness, the lights, wondering what lurks in the darkness. Thank you for this fantastic ride. Stay safe, stay healthy and a prosperous new year!

[kandasaravanan]

Love the loneliness to nowhere... and in btw Thans for your videos... These are mystic and wonderful

[norfilmshetland]

Stunning! This must be amongst the very best videos shot at night. Professional recording equipment and expert post production to a standard that any broadcasting organisation would find hard to equal. RailCowGirl has raised the bar again!

[valleylaker]

This video is simply mesmerizing. What an antidote to all the stress that can build up in our fast-paced society. It looks like I am going to have to learn Norwegian so I can marvel at all this beauty in person.

[StephenRichens]

Well I must say, this train has a much better horn than your old ones !!. Thanks for the video, love watching these, so relaxing.

[basinstreetdesign]

Lovely! The camaraderie between the engineers is heartwarming. Thank you for this opportunity to see professionalism in action in Norway.

[longbow]

What treat!! A whole new outlook on the countryside we've ridden with you so many times. Thank you for the hard work and the excellent result.

Congratulations on the new job, and this video blew me away. I have a brand new computer with a 4k screen and truly amazing color and image accurancy. Plus, filming at night invites trouble. But your camera equipment is very good, I am impressed. I just found the link to your camera equipment, and both the lens and camera body are very, very good. You must be into photograhy. By the way that is the prefect lens for this type of filming. I've bought almost everything from Amazon for last 10 years, they are like the Nordstroms of the internet. Anyway, thank you for your excellent effort. And have a happy holiday season.

This has to be the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! It's like watching a Hallmark Christmas commercial. 🎄🚉🚞🥰

[coldsteelrails]

Wow snowy and beautiful, I think Christmas has come early 🎄

I so love I have always wanted to be on a train. Never had the chance. Thank you for this live cam. I love this!

[finlaymclellan]

I hope the cab was warm inside, as I'm shivering just watching the video! 🥶

[thyrampantpigeon]

I stayed in that hostel at 2:23:22 when I was backpacking through Scandinavia!

I love these videos, watching while listening to an Audiobook is so relaxing.

[jobrowne]

Excellent video RCG. I loved that third crossing and the other driver waving his arms crazily. It reminds me of my early days of driving, although I was in the cab of a diesel. Most of our trains are about 1.8kms long (around 4, 000 + tonnes) due to crossing loop length

[norbertozoiloalvarez]

Dear RCG Thank you! for your attentive video. I appreciate in saying, I missed your railroad wanderings. I reiterate my thanks. Good luck. Peace and good!!

[KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

What a beautiful video. Even the tunnels were a joy to watch. I started watching to enjoy the views of Norway. But I am really loving these night rides as well. Thank you so very much.

[josesal]

AWESOME night freighter trip, enjoyed it very much. Liked the cab wave btn both freighters. Long pull. Thanks for the ride.

[danthieman]

Thank you so much for this upload. Nobody ever gets to see this stuff. Creepy, cool, relaxing all at the same time
