Hi Cowgirl,
Could you please explain to me, how the track speed limitations work in Norway
I am train driver in Belgium, Holland and Germany, but I don't quit get it.
I mean, here in, let say, Germany we also have those yellow triangle with speed limitations in tenths of km/h, but in breaking distance we also have signs that says from this point you must travel that speed.
In other words yellow triangles advertising an upcoming speed limitation and rectangular white signs with black digits mark the beginning of track stretch with those limitations.
In Norway I see only the yellow ones.
Let say 7 and nothing more.
How do you know from which point you should drive 70 km/h.
Or is something like that:
Example.
1000m after triangle with 7, you must drive 70.
Could you or someone else give me a hint, how it works
Another thing is, those little rectangular signs underneath speed triangles with 5 or 10.
Are the passenger trains allowed to travel 5 or 10 km/h faster, then freight trains
Greetings from the Netherlands.
P. s.
Sorry for my English.

4: 27 On the right hand side you can see where Setesdalsbanen used to go
4: 44 Augland. Setesdalsbanen used to run where the road is
4: 52 The black patch on the mountain is Setesdalsbanen's tunnel Mosby I
5: 20 The big house on the hill to the left is where I used to live in the 1970s and 1980s
5: 22 Setesdalsbanen used to enter from the right, just before the bridge. To the left the old school used to be. It was closed before the Southline was build.
5: 27 Mosby (by Paul Due) The station was built in 1895 for Setesdalsbanen
6: 05 Setesdalsbanen continued to the right on the tractor path
6: 53 Setesdalsbanen's Kvarstein Tunnel can be seen to the right
8: 21 To the left Abel Tunnel (Setesdalsbanen)
9: 22 Vennesla (by Paul Due) Another station build in 1895 for Setesdalsbanen
9: 42 Setesdalsbanen went to the left
10: 09 And followed the road around the mountain here
12: 55 Grovane (by Paul Due, in 1895) The station building is used by Setesdalsbanen heritage line

It is nice you are back again, not as often as I would like but then any new video is a welcome video. I especially like the EuroDual after seeing it introduced a few years ago in Germany. Is your version you are driving here the standard version or is it altered in any way and if so how It would be nice if you could continue showing the vMax track and train speed in all of your videos not just some. It is too had to run the Rail maps and your videos side by side to get a sense how fast you are going and it is slways something interesting to look at as well as that scenery of yours there. Thanks

This was an absolutely brilliant video! I am both a train enthusiast and a railway worker here in the USA, and as such I was absolutely fascinated to watch every single minute of this video. The scenery was spectacular, but the engineering of the right-of-way especaily all those tunnels took my breath away. Norway is obviously filled with great scenery, but it is also filled with superb railway operating and engineering personnel, and you video did them very proud. Thank you for a very entertaining and educational 4 hours. Very well done.

they built it so far from the ocean so it could not be bombed from the sea, and so that it could be far away from anywhere people wanted to go.
I currently live close to the start of this trip, my parents have a cabin a little further up the coast, but i am from where it ends up, and apart from driving, if anyone needs to take another form of transport up or down it's the bus, trains were not placed conveniently.

Magnificent region, thank you very much. It's blurry in the tunnels it seems because the development was not done and the diaphragm is more open in the dark. One piece of information is very important to me: the precise date. Knowing when this landscape was filmed makes it possible to grasp the context, and to associate it with other documents close in time. Thank you very much for indicating the precise date.

Two reasons off hand that i can think of why your camera went offline and as i remember this is not the first time. It could be because of the constant vibration of the locomotive and the second can be due to over heating. Cant help with the vibrations as you dont want any shock absorbers or you might get a very shaky video but if you can check on the heating then you might be able to avoid blinkouts.

I have been eagerly anticipating your return to making cab view videos and was thrilled to see this video up a few days ago. Beautiful views, astounding scenery and first class production values. One question - the EuroDual is a very powerful and versatile locomotive and I 'm wondering if driving it has a very different vibe from driving the Traxx locos or if it is similar Thank you!

For those interested in geology; this railroad follows both minor and major geological depressions in the landscape. This was done to limit the number of tunnels nessecary, thus making it cheaper to build. This also means that the tracks run mostly along lower parts of the landscape, and is one of the reasons for all the countless lakes and rivers you see along the line.

Beautiful job! Have really missed exploring new territory with you--lots of new stations and cities to learn, too. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos too--the clarity is really wonderful. Hoping to share many joyful kilometers with you in the future. (PS, whether in the cab or on the bike--you do a great job with motorcycle video as well)

Has there been any downside to electrifying that many miles of railway line, I'd be curious to know about power failures downed wires especially in winter, I assume there are diesel locomotives that can be fired up in case of an emergency, I've been watching for several years now, thanks for the enjoyable content, I especially like the winter ones.

I'm a Train-a-holic. I have traveled over 250, 000 km by rail since 1955 mostly here in Canada on The Canadian (51x) & Australia (entire month of May 1987) & UK 2 wks June 1990 when British Rail still operated. Watching your Cab rides are like being in the Scenic Dome of The Canadian. Cheers from Vancouver. BTW I had fun counting the tunnels!

I love watching the beautiful scenery and the tunnels it goes through, for about 20 minutes of watching, my eyes gets heavy and heavier until I roll over to sleep with only the sound making me think I'm on board the train. It's one of my best sleeps ever when nothing else doesn't work, thank you for posting the video.

Once again, you’ve done an amazing job on this new video! Really enjoyed watching it. The ride felt a bit differentI don’t know if it’s because it’s a different passenger train, but I felt like the train was going faster, or you just weren’t stopping as often or what. anywaystill really enjoyed itas alwaysKeep them coming!

Great video RCG! Great to see Norway without her snowy winter coat. Very relaxing ride through the Countryside with abundant lakes and rivers. Loved your comment regarding Voss Water. ’ You continue to provide top grade videos, looking forward to many more. Take care from a very early morning viewing in California USA!

I truly enjoy watching your videos! Unfortunately, this video exhibits constant horizontal micro shakes all the way through and is shaking so bad I get nauseous watching it on my 77-inch TV. It is very visible if you watch the video at 0. 25x speed. I hope you will be able to solve this issue for your next recording.

This reminds me a lot of the trip from Winnipeg to Toronto on Via Rail. Rock, trees and water until an hour north of Toronto at least. Mind you it is a 37 hour trip, 1921km. Freight traffic takes precedence over passenger due to train length. Passenger train length is 650 m but a freight can be up to 4200m long.

I think this is now my second-favorite RCG video! I love the new landscape, and the 4K is truly stunning! Also, coming from a family of road-builders, I have to think that keeping the rail beds stable in all that wet land must be quite a challenge! Thank you for creating this quiet, renewing film.

Another mistake - You did not stop in Selasvatn. The time caption said you stopped for 5 minutes - arrival 13 52 and departed 1357 (also still in afternoon zone, should be in morning time zone) The train didn't even slow down for stopping. Did you edit out the train stoppage
