4K CABVIEW: The last passenger train I will drive?
The last passenger train I will drive? Maybe, it will atleast be the last one for quite some time as I after 14 years in NSB and VY decided that there was a need for change of scenery.
This video was recorded on my very last trip, but fear not, I have more recordings from earlier this year and winter that will be edited and and uploaded for you guys to see. Not only that, I'm not stopping driving trains and I will not stop recording the majestic views I see everyday at work.
This trip goes from Bergen to Voss with the last service of the day departing Bergen 3 minutes past midnight and arriving at Voss at 1:25am. It's a midsummer night and after a very dry and warm period we finally had some solid showers. The sudden change in temperature makes the tunnels warm and damp, which again means we get the piston effect. We basically make CLOUDS in the tunnels due to the pressure change when a train is in the tunnel.

Hey everyone, Just want to make sure there is on misunderstanding ;) Where I will be going, and what I will be doing is revealed in the end of the video. I will not stop to make videos. :D There now that is out of the way. Enjoy the trip ;)
Thanks I ended up running freight the last 5 years before I retired,. just short slow speed trains longest 25 cars .
Many thanks for all the wonderful journeys you have recorded for us over the past few years. For myself they have brought back great memories of the trips up to Voss from over 20 years ago. Much has changed during those passing years. Look forward to future videos journeys from you.
Will you run freight trains? When will we see your first video of your new job?
Thank you so much for sharing the previous experience with us and wish you all the best in your new experience. Please Accept my regards from Saudi Arabia.
May all your new endeavors be safe and ever lasting. Stay safe RCG. Sending thanks for the ride from the states.
Even if there are containers behind your locomotive from now on, you will always have plenty of passengers too!^^ Greatings from Hamburg
That's true! Really looking forward to share this journey with you guys :D
Couldn't have said it better myself! We will always be riding with you.
How eloquent, and a fine sentiment indeed.
Very accurate!!!
All us hobos will be hopping on board your freights.
You have set a high standard for rail cab video, and have inspired many fans and videographers. Thank you for continually upgrading your equipment and videos. It is great that Vy lets you shoot. Not permitted in the US, probably because the equipment and the tracks are in such poor repair.
Watched you on National Geographic's Europe from above - Norway. I was glad to see you talking about Flåm line. When that part of episode started with satellite image and zooming fjord, I recognized Flåm. Then narrator started to talk about the only connection of Flåm by railway going to Myrdal. I thought: "the only person who can talk about it..." and you appeared and started to talk. Awesome!
Lady, you have been a ray of sunshine and a breath of cold snowy air for many of us sitting at home enjoying your travels as an “engineer”. Best wishes at your new job and moving freight is an important part of your nation’s economy, be proud and be safe.
Best wishes to you in respect of the "change of scenery" as desired! For many viewers though you'll always remain the one who let them discover the Bergen Line.
And I will still be ;) I'm not moving or anything :D I'm swapping company and getting to see other lines as well :D
I have really enjoyed all the rail journeys and wonderful views of beautiful Norway. Many thanks for all the effort you put into making and editing these videos, it is really appreciated. Good to hear you will still be driving trains and filming your journeys; this is what makes KZhead worth watching. Your videos are fantastic adverts for visiting Norway and taking train rides. Would love to do the Bergan line sometime. Paul UK
Thank you so much, Paul! :D I'm looking forward to show you how awesome the new company is and the magnificent views from the Bergen Line and other lines as well :D
You MUST do it - I did it in 2018 and I loved it. I’d do it tomorrow if I could!
There are many train channels I could watch here on KZhead, But, that being said, yours I must say is the most human experience in train travel viewing. Thank you so much for being here AND staying here. You're the best!
Thank you very much for sharing this chapter of your life. Norway is now on my travel list. Good luck with your new job.
Your video's came up on my suggested one day and I'm so glad I clicked the link, through you, I, and many others have had the absolute pleasure of watching this beautiful place change over the seasons. Good luck in your new job, and I can't wait to see more.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
@@RailCowGirl ♥ ♥
Thru your videos and the BERGEN LINE you have brought the beauty and majesty of Norway to the world. You went from a small channel to 359K subscribers. Your videos are simply sublime. I hope your new Company allows you to continue making this beautiful art. Thank You so much -- you TOTALLY ROCK! Bob from the USA.
I was beginning to suffer from strong RCG withdrawal symptoms, so I am very pleased to see this vid posted. I watch many, many cab views for relaxation but I always return time and time again to your vids (and one other channel). Always great quality and magic scenery whatever the season. All the best with your new cargo venture RCG, huge thanks for all the enjoyment you have provided and really looking forward to your new masterpieces.
I have watched all of your vids (many, more than once). A big thank you and a virtual hug for many hours of relaxed viewing, and for your hard work in editing and publishing the vids. The very best wishes and good luck for whatever your next venture is. Thanks once again from the UK.
Did you watch all the way to the end? ;)
I did watch until the end and guessed that in future you would be driving freight trains, but I didn’t like to mention it in my original comment in case I was wrong. Looking forward to more vids from you. Best wishes once again.
@@possetman Correct :D Freight trains next :D
@@RailCowGirl So no passengers to worry about, just containers, but different skills to master and maybe different routes to learn? Sounds exciting 👍
Wishing you all the best RCG! I hope you enjoy driving the new freight routes and I can't wait to see the new rides, whenever you're ready and willing to share them. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos!
Looking foraward to share it with you guys :D
Well, that was a farewell surely tinged with regret. Yes, a new chapter beckons, but if you're sentimental like me, goodbyes have their sad moments. The brief backward glance on the last exit said it all. Like many others, I have enjoyed your videos. Thank you for them. Good luck in what you do next.
No regrets, will be driving freight trains. As you probably saw in the end of the video ;) Thank you!
VY: "From now on, no more passenger trains! From now on, only freight." RailCowGirl: "Okay, no passengers, I have my virtual travelers." VY: "You what?" RailCowGirl: "A lot of them. I drive two trains, the metal one and the soul one."
Hei RCG, just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your wonderful videos, they have provided priceless balm for a troubled soul, particularly over the lockdown period. Namaste.
My pleasure!
363,000 subscribers - what an awesome number! I wonder how many people have been drawn so far in by the stunning scenery and the quality of your productions that they decided to pay a visit and see it for themselves? The answer to that is at least one because I came over late this summer because the pandemic really made me think that things I really wanted to do were best done sooner rather than later! I would be amazed if the amount of extra visitors Western Norway has received as a result of your photographic talents was anything less than a thousand which is an incredible feat from just one person. I'm really looking forward to the pastures new you are going to bring into our living rooms! Good luck with your transition. 🚅😁
Looking forward to more adventures on the rails of Norway. Thanks for sharing RCG.
You bet!
So nice. Thank you for sharing your last trip with Passenger with us.
I have enjoyed your videos after discovering them on You Tube amd they have revived fond memories of our trips to Norway. In 1997 we spent our 25st. wedding anniversary (Silver Wedding) in Bergen, we travelled on the Newcastle to Bergen ferry, now sadly no longer sailing, and stayed over 3 days until the next one returned to the UK. The highlight of our holiday was a trip on the Norway in a Nutshell tour, totally stunning especially the Flaam railway and the ferry trip to Gudvengen which was a very close second. Six years later we went on a Fjord cruise and rediscovered the wonderful Norwegian scenery, probably the highlight of which was a trip up the Dalsnibba by coach when the ship moored at Geiranger, my wife is not a great fan of heights and I remember her white knuckles hanging onto the seat in front during the trip. I was born in Yorkshire and we are very close to our Viking roots, my bit was settled by Norwegian vikings rather than Danes so I almost felt that I was coming home. Many thanks for the memories and good luck in your future enterprises.
Very best of luck in your new job RCG 👍🏼😊🍾🥂🎉. Love your videos. So glad you’ll still be producing new ones 😍. We always put them on to help us relax & unwind. They’re so calming to watch with the lovely scenery. Sending you good vibes from the UK 🇬🇧🤗
I ve noticed about the Bergen Line when I saw randomly on you tube a Noruegian Television Video about this line years ago. Allways wanted to see more of that until you appeared . I ve enjoyed every single video of yours,,there was allways somthing new to discover on them. No matter where your new work leave you I ll be allways pleased to see whats beyond your engine windshield!!! Thank you for all your videos and hoping to watch the new ones!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your epic working days, from blizzards to sublime evening runs. Your commentaries along the routes have been great, and I know that editing your videos takes days of work. I appreciate it, really. So freight is your new future, and I wish you many happy years ahead. Safe travels.
Thanks for your videos and the amazing channel and community you've built here! Wishing you success and happiness in the next stage in your life, and I look forward to seeing freight train views! You're simply disembarking at this metaphoric train station, and transferring to the next train on your journey on the rails of life. :)
Thank you RCG for all your videos - I remember viewing your original Halden - Oslo longer ago than I care to remember. Looking forward to your future offerings and hope everything works out well for you with your change of career.
Glad you back RCG thought you'd gone for good for a while, I've been re watching older videos 'cause I ride an exercise bike whilst watching your posts ( I don't go any where near as far as you but they help). Hope all goes well with the new job and once you've sorted yourself out more rail journeys, stay well.
Yeah, I know. I've been gone longer than I really wanted, but it has been necessary :)
I love Norway's quiet, clean, modern, electric passenger trains! I look forward to your new videos as well.
Thank you :D
Thank you for the update and video. I hope you are happy and well. Best wishes with the new position!
Thank you for this and all your past videos. All best on your new adventures and I look forward to sharing them with you on U-Tube
Greetings from Massachusetts-really enjoyed the rides! Thanks for taking the time to produce your videos-all the best and hope to see you again soon
Thank you for your past videos, look forward to seeing your new videos, enjoy your new adventures and keep us up-to-date with your new train journey.
So happy to see you in *any* capacity! I hope you enjoy your change; it's interesting what a change in direction can do for us. You will see things through similar eyes, but with a slightly different lens. What could be more interesting or exciting than that? We are the lucky ones, watching your travels through your eyes, and no matter what you choose, you have a huge legacy of amazing videos. Please be safe, and happy, and if you continue to post videos, that is icing on the cake. Take care!
I absolutely love your videos! Watching them is incredibly relaxing and I could kick back for hours and enjoy the scenery. Best wishes on your new endeavors.
Thank you for showing us the new Ulriken tunnel and a peek into the new shop building at Bergen (it looks completed with a train inside!). Thank you for taking us along on your ferry runs, taking a Flamsbanen train to Bergen for service, and others to Sundland or Lodalen.
Congratulations on the new job and new routes, looking forward to seeing them
Awesome ride!! Very happy to see you back again! I hope you're happy and healthy and I wish you all the best with all the changes coming up and your new job driving freight. Looking forward to the new vid's! :) :)
Thanks for sharing you're journey 🙏Good luck on your new adventures❤️
Dear RCG, thanks so much, this far that is.... ;), for all your beautifull 'films' sofar shot during your travels through the Norwegian landscape.. Being a regular visitor myself for over 20 years already in your beautifull country (mostly by car i must admit) i can only confirm that there is still some scenery to be discovered. I have travelled myself on 'your' trains more than once i.e. the Voss/Bergen track and the Flam/Myrdal track... but i must say having also travelled the Oslo/Trondheim and Dombas/Andalsnes tracks there is indeed more scenery for your viewers to be discovered. So i hope we will 'see' you again soon in a different scenery/environment with same quality of 'films' shot from yout drivers' cabin it has been a hell of a ride and a treat as well sofar. Living in The Netherlands i can only tell you that i know NS (Dutch Railways) always looks for 'change of scenery' for their traindrivers themselves just to keep them 100% to the point and don't let them reach a point of boredom when driving a train too many times over the same track.... although i realise that conditions in Norway are very much different than overhere in The Netherlands. Nevertheless i can fully understand your urge after 14 years that it is time for something completely different. I wish you well and succes in your new upcoming environment!
We will miss your wonderful train trips but change is good. New things to discover and your videos will be always there for us to watch re-runs! Good lucko
Finally hearing from you, I have become addicted to mountain landscapes and the crossings to Oslo!!! Your videos bring a certain quality that others don't. Good news there will be other trips but this long silence to which we are not accustomed suggests the end of RailCowGirl. See you soon and all my best wishes for the new job.
It’s not the end of RailCowGirl. If you read her post in the community tab from a while back, you’ll see that she needed a break, and these days she is training for her new job. Meaning she has been busy with learning how to handle cargo. I think we can expect a new chapter from RCG 😍
Wow, you are really rude, and clearly can't read.
@joel: I have posted several community posts explaining why it has been silent.L, and why i have not been able to post as often as before. I’ve also explained that it will not be the end of this channel. So Why you believe it’s the end of me, I dont’t understand.
So excited for your venture! Keep us posted! Love all your videos and you ❤️
Thank you! Will do for sure :D
Thank you for sharing this. Passenger service is important and fun to watch. But you will enjoy freight service. Can't wait to see what you bring us in the future!
Thanks for watching!
@@RailCowGirl I will always watch!
Congrats on starting your new job driving the cargo trains! Yes, I will miss the beautiful scenery, the houses we all love to see & want to live in, the waterfalls, but I can always go back & watch the videos. Good luck on all your future endeavors @RCG! Looking forward to the new adventures coming!🥰✌💕🌈
Why do you think that will change? Freight run the same lines as other trains ;)
@@RailCowGirl It's a well known fact that freight trains only run in industrial and dystopian landscapes.
@@RailCowGirl I just hope that Green Cargo Norway is better then Green Cargo in Sweden are as they don´t like their drivers to record when they drive the trains, they have told several of their drivers that they can´t record full lenght trips anymore and are only allowed to record videos when they standing still at a red signal or at loading places or just have short driving videos, like 5 min parts, i have seen several swedish Green Cargo drivers that did just what you did before, now they don´t record at all or just shorter videos with only a couple of minutes of driving in them, so good luck as i really likes your full lenght videos (no , i don´t work for Green Cargo, i just have followed some of their swedish drivers channels on youtube for several years, just like i follow your channel and they have told this info in their videos)
Thank you very much for all the superb videos over the years. I Wish you all the very best for the future.
Thank you :D And videos will still follow :D
Brilliant video! Good luck with the change, I look forward to seeing more of your videos 😁
Always enjoyed your videos, looking forward to seeing your new videos and perhaps new routes as you ride the rails. Best wishes on your new job!
Thank you for showing us the rails, in all directions, at all times, and all seasons. And thank you for the occasional motorcycle tour. Thank you for showing us how to read the signs and signals. It has been fun to turn on the Live Video stream and see how long it takes me to recognize where we are! (no, even *I* don't have the Live Video on ALL of the time)
Thank you for all of the passenger train rides, and the very best of good luck on the new lines you will be traveling on. Keep well.
I will still be traveling on mainly the Bergen Line, but there will also be other lines to add to the tally :D
Thank you for great videos and helping me enjoy my Scandinavian roots. I look forward to wherever the rails take you for your next adventures. Greetings from the Ottawa Valley in Canada 👍😁
All the best I will miss the Bergen line though in winter. You drew me to Norway... Thank you. I plan to move there.
Why will you miss the Bergen Line? I’m not moving :) and will still be based on the Bergen Line. Freight trains use the same line :)
Hi RCG! I really didn't know how an important part of my life your videos have been until now when I haven't been able to see more of them. I'll miss them and you so much. All the best Wishes to you now and in the future.❤
She will still be driving trains 😉
Most importantly, thank you for having the courage to do something different with your switch to freight. I suspect that used to be a lot easier to switch while NSB was running everything. And thank you for taking us along on your new rides! (looks like you can only post twice in a short time. this one was last. edited the next one to include other deleted posts. all now complete, I think)
Love watching all your videos. Wishing you many great things in your future. Thank you for these wonderful journeys. 💕
Thank you :D And you'd better stick around, because I'm not stopping making them ;)
@@RailCowGirl I sure am! 😀
I’ve followed for a few years and have enjoyed your videos very much. I was looking forward to getting over there last year to ride and all fell through. Good luck with your new ride.
That's a pity Robert. I booked it on impulse as soon as Norway went green and had a marvellous few days. I based myself in Voss staying at one of the hotel's that open directly onto the station platform. Hopefully things will be easier next summer - good luck!
Mhm.. the world was and is kind of completely bonkers, but things will hopefully become better and give you the chance to come and ride the rails here :D
Best of luck in your new venture whatever it might be. Much appreciate the time you shared with is.
Much appreciated! Did you watch to the end? Because a huge hint was given there :D
Glad to see an other enjoyable new video from you RCG I hope your doing fine , and best wishes of success in your new endeavors, looking forward to see new videos from you of beautiful Norway , hello from Los Angeles!
I'm looking forward to show you guys the views from as freight train operator :) We run on the same lines as passenger trains and I'm stil mainly based on the Bergen Line :D
Most importantly, thank you for having the courage to do something different with your switch to freight. I suspect that used to be a lot easier to switch while NSB was running everything. And thank you for taking us along on your new rides! (Looks like you need to read these posts in reverse posting order!)
Happy to hear you're still driving trains! Funny, something in me was anticipating co-workers or friends or someone greeting you on the platform in Voss, maybe holding signs or something, for your last trip. :) Hopefully the closing of a chapter was celebrated in some way. Good luck in your new job driving cargo! I look forward to the new things we'll get to see and hear. For one, maybe a less-sad sounding horn? ;)
Your videos will always have a place in my heart because I’ve seen them and have been inspired to want to visit Norway and ride the Bergen Line from Bergen to Oslo.
Thanks, RCG, for the great rides through the Norwegian countryside. My grandparents emigrated to the U.S. from the Lillehammer region in the late 19th century and my mother spoke Norwegian as a child. I was born with white hair and have been a tow head all of my life and feel a great affinity for Norway and the Norwegian people. I love to watch Scandinavian mysteries to see what the country looks like. Also the characters all look like my relatives. Your cab rides through the mountains and valleys have really widened my perspective of your (our) beautiful and rugged country. Thanks. I hope that you find your heart's desire. Sometimes good luck comes slowly. Keep making videos. Fred.
Your videos are the reason I am coming to Norway next summer. I was planning this past summer but as you know Covid-19 put a damper on that trip. Looking forward to the train rides even though you will not be on the passenger trains. Keep up the good work you always do.
Very glad to see you are well! My wife and I have missed your video travels through the mountains; although, I must say I hope your new job will keep you safe from all those tunnel Trolls! We were very concerned for your safety! ;) Best of luck in your new job. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures!
Thank you :) No, I still have to struggle with them :P Same tunnels...
All the best to you for the new job and may the force stay with you!
Thank you so much :D
Best wishes on your new venture. I have enjoyed the videos you have made over the years. Drove freight for a time here in the UK..You will find it much more relaxed than passenger service. Enjoy your new experience!
Thank you!
Great video RCG. I'm shure it will be even more exiting to watch you run cargotrains over the mountain ;)
Thanks for all of your videos! It’s amazing. Best regards!
Thank you :D And more is to come :D
You will always have passengers for as long as you keep us included virtually or otherwise! The seagull right at the end "MINE?!, MINE?!, MINE?!" had me rolling way over here in Kentucky. Have seen several of your videos more than once. Thank you for everything up to this point!
Thank you so much!
Wow, that was a surprise. Many many thanks for sharing the magnificent scenery of the Bergen line over the years and all the best in the next phase of your life. If you can share more once you're settled into the new job then that would be, as P.G. Wodehouse used to write, "pure gravy". 😎
It will come :D And I will also still be Running on the Bergen Line :D
@@RailCowGirl Great news. When I looked up your new company (no spoilers) I did think it was a possibility.
Thanks for your informative and entertaining videos; good luck in whatever you do.
It was the last PASSENGER train, did not say I'd quit driving trains ;) already uploaded Several videos from my new adventures ;)
I admire your work I am always admiring these beautiful landscapes, Thank you
You're welcome :D And thank YOU for watching :D
Best wishes from the UK in your new railway adventure. Awesome channel 👍
The night view is very different than most of your videos, and a nice change. All the details on the signals were interesting. I've wondered what those double signals were before, and now I know. Best of luck on the new job. Looking forward to videos from a different prospective.
All the best RCG! Hope you continue with vids in some form in the future. I have enjoyed the scenes so much other the years :)
In some form? Dude, I'm not letting off the steam here :D Oh, nono, it's full steam ahead :D
@@RailCowGirl Ah that's good to know. My family came from Norway to the US long time ago so it's always good to see the homeland countryside a bit. Cheers.
Thank you so much for opening a window on the world during our various lockdowns. You were on my A List of go to channels...still are. All my very best for the future 🙂
Thank you so much, happy to hear that you like my videos :D
I have several of your videos on my 'watch later' because I only have a phone to watch on. My foster brother is from Norway so thanks to your fascinating videos I now can picture places he talks of. I will never be in the cab of a (modern high speed) train, but I have seen a green landscape become a cold winter that turns into a coastline. Colorado will never have trains and transportation like you do. Too spendy? I will always follow these wonderful videos. I hope you enjoy your change of cargo! Thank you
GREAT VIDEO - remarkable improvements from the early ones. And no more squinting in the tunnels. Best of luck - avoid the seagulls. You leave behind a wonderful legacy. I am looking forward to seeing whatever is in your future.
This was a fitting last passenger video, last service of the day etc. Wishing you nothing but success on your new adventures and am looking forward to your new videos!
Indeed! It was the perfect last trip :) still have some videos from other days this summer and last winter :) The passenger chest is not depleted yet ;)
@@RailCowGirl Great, Hoping you will be able to post videos of your new experiences too!
My mother and I wish you all the very, very best! We’ll be drinking tea out of our CowGirl mugs on Sunday when I show her this video! Hugs from us!
Yaaay! :D Looking forward to share new perspectives with you guys
Thank you for great videos. Good luck at your new workplace!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for all the videos. Wonderful stuff. Keep up the good work! Hope you enjoy working for Green Cargo. Can’t wait for the next video.
thank you for your generosity in sharing these many fine videos we were entertained by all of them. skal
If I remember correctly! Fog in tunnels forms when there is a pressure change, Or with the train is forcing air forwards as it moves and that's how the fog is formed in the tunnels. Another beautiful Video and I can't wait till our next Adventures💞💞💞
Amazing train ride! Awesome places and landscapes! Good work! Thumbs Up🚊😎👍 All the best from Romania Andrew
Thank you for showing us your railroad world. Thank you to those that are helping you in the background: Elisabeth, chat monitors, and other un-named people (that includes Warmwaffle and wife appearing on trips by Roa). And special thanks to all of those who get blurred for their privacy! Fine folks, all of them. Thank you for showing us the rails, in all directions, at all times, and all seasons. And thank you for the occasional motorcycle tour. Thank you for showing us how to read the signs and signals. It has been fun to turn on the Live Video stream and see how long it takes me to recognize where we are! (no, even *I* don't have the Live Video on ALL of the time) You have motivated me to watch the Rallarvegan videos of mountain bike rides between Haugastol, Finse, Myrdal, and Flam. All of them are highly recommended as we see scenery of the rails from the outside of the snowsheds, routes of older parts of the railroad (before Finsetunnelen), and the original construction roads along the rail route. (also interesting to read about the fire at Hallingskeid Stasjon in 2011) Thank you for showing us the new Ulriken tunnel and a peek into the new shop building at Bergen (it looks completed with a train inside!). Thank you for taking us along on your ferry runs, taking a Flamsbanen train to Bergen for service, and others to Sundland or Lodalen. Thank you for inspiring and mentoring other Norwegian train drivers to record and learn how to edit their videos: "Train Thor", "The Norwegian Traindriver", "GingerRail", and "Frozen Moustache Railroading". Each of them have a unique perspective (and "new" railroad lines). I have also enjoyed the historical videos from "Jernbanemannen, togleder". They are typically low resolution 480p, but sometimes I run RCG video of the same section on a second stream to watch for details and recognize what has changed from 1996 or so.
RCG congratulations on your new adventure! I think that when a person does the same thing over and over again, that the brain gets stale. Switching to freight seems like a great idea. New things to learn!
Thank you!
Love these videos; thank you and cheers from Canada!
Thank you!
Thanks RCG for another superb video. This made my day ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you :D
Thanks so much for all those years of enjoyable rides on the Bergen and Flåm lines! You have set a high standard as a train driver for others to try to reach. Good luck in your new job with a freight company. I’m looking forward to seeing new scenery and other rail lines. Will you still operate an electric loco or will a diesel be involved once in a while?Thanks again for being everyone’s favorite girl train driver! Good luck for the future! Dave in NorCal
I'm glad I got to see a lot of your runs before all the new tunnels opened. 😍 It's impressive technology, but I prefer nature.😃 Good luck with your change of venue. I look forward to seeing your new POV. 😉 Take care and stay safe. ❤ 😄
Congratulations on your next journey. Wishing you all the best. Will be looking forward to more videos!
Thank you so much!
Wishing you all the best in your new job! It will be great to see other parts of Norway and hopefully Sweden too...
Thank you! I will still be driving on the Bergen line, and maybe on a few other lines.
I'm going to miss all the beautiful runs with you. I wish you the best if luck with your new endeavors. Rest assured, I will be with you all the way. Thank you for sharing your amazing career on the passenger trains. 🥰👍
Same scenery in freight service. Why does people think that is going to change? We're running on the same tracks :)
@@RailCowGirl looking forward to the same scenery. Always a pleasure to be with you
Love your videos and I hope that the switch to cargo won’t put an end to them. Best wishes on the new adventure!
It won't :D
I would love moving to Cargo lines after a significant stint with Passenger lines... congratulations ... a totally different outlook ahead ... and new skills to hone! Looking forward those trips ... thank you for a great channel.
Thank you for showing me the incredible beauty of the home of my ancestors. Screen caps from your mountains adorn my computer backgrounds. You are a breath of fresh air!
Glad you enjoyed it
I am glad you will still be around. Wishing you all the very best for the new chapter of your life. We know that whatever you undertake is always to the very best standard. 💖🥰💖
Thank you so much! There is so much more fun hauling something that weighs over a thousand tonns. New challenges, new engines and so much more to see. :D
Best wishes for your new scene! Thanks for all the videos - they were one of the highlights of lockdown for me!
Thank you so much, glad to hear that you found comfort in my videos!
The last passenger train? OH NO! I always felt like a very special passenger on your trains. You took all of us both to and through very special, beautiful destinations. It was always an adventure riding along with you! Thank you very much RailCowGirl! But if you really are leaving ... can I have your old job? It looks like a lot of fun, and I have a good sense of direction! :) ( But I'll need to buy a very WARM winter coat!).
