4K CABVIEW: Northern Lights seen from the train 😮😍

First time I've seen the Northern Lights from the cab in August!
Seeing the Northern lights in August is quite rare this far south in Norway. But lately the activity has been pretty crazy with the "the lights" being visible almost every day.

On this trip we start off in Bergen where I have to pic up the train at an unusual location and move it to the terminal so it can be loaded with freight. Since this is a Sunday the freight volume is quite low. Bergen is undergoing massive changes these days as they are getting ready to couple the old, and refurbished, Ulriken tunnel to the network. At the same time they are making huge changes to the freight terminal with longer tracks, parking areas for trains and, the most important point, the possibility to depart directly from the terminal track. This will make it so much more easier and more effective. But we will still have to do the go-around on arrival so we get the loco in the correct end. Hehe.

Other moments in this video is the signalling failure between Voss and Reimegrend causing massive delays throught the network. Those delays changes where we meet trains in the opposite direction. In this case I used this chance to fill up my thermos with Covfefe at Voss.

This trip also show a really close call with a beautiful stag just after Geilo.

ENJOY!
