Running late on this trip due to a busted switch. Started to get worried I wouldn't reach home for xmas. Not to mention that the train was loaded with cargo intended to be delivered to the post offices on the last day before xmas. Thankfully solutions were found and since we were on the ball early we got a slot in the west corridor instead of going over the Gjøvik Line. Please leave comment, even if it is just an emojie, it'll help a lot :D Thank you :D and Merry Christmas

Awesome! What a treat to wake up to. Retired pastor here, healing from brain surgery. Your postings are almost literally "just what the doctor ordered"...beats my insomnia without pills, which are toxic to my system. I grew up near an RCA vinyl record company: the slamming of freight cars in the night was my lollaby. Now your posts give me a quieter song. Watching them raises questions I never asked about. I appreciate the view, the sounds, the work you do, and the education you provide. Thank you!

I’ve watched many of your videos these past few years. Your decision to sit hour after hour without uttering a sound shows discipline. Your silence frees the viewers to reflect without interruption. It shows humility and respect. You never draw attention to yourself. Would that there were more like you. ❤

These nighttime snow rides are my absolute favorite especially when there are blizzard conditions. I watch your (nightmare conditions on the mountain) almost every night. Thanks for tucking us in😌

Norway is such a beautiful country. I would love to one day come and visit and explore its vast beauty. I'm from Canada and we are so far behind, the rail system there is phenomenal.

I like the fact that you included the kw rating of the engine in this video. 35 years ago, I started working on towboats on the Mississippi River. My dad was Chief Engineer on the boats for a different company, not necessarily a rival. His company mainly pushed grain barges, my company pushed coal. He and I worked on boats built by the same shipyard. They were powered by EMD 710 in 16 cylinder configuration. There were three of these on a boat. Each EMD produced 3250kw. So, each boat produced 10,500 hp and 9750 kw. Our normal tow was 35 barges, southbound. Each barge was 1500 US tons. So, a normal tow was 52,500 US tons. Great job for someone with no kids, 30 days on, 30 days off. I quit that job 24 years ago, after my son was born. Now, I'm a Tool and Die Maker. I enjoy your content. Thank you.

Mean while in Norway: Mountains, fjords, hills and rivers. Mountain passes and tunnels. "Hey! Guys, can we put the steepest rail in the middle of the Oslo?" "Sure!"
