4K CABVIEW: Sunny spring afternoon on the Bergen Line hauling freight

It's a sunny spring afternoon on the Bergen Line and today I'm hauling a freight train from the Terminal in Bergen to Ål, where it will be a crew change. The train will continue to Alnabru freight terminal in Oslo. Composition of the train is:
2x Bombardier TRAXX F160 AC3, 17 cars totalling 616m and 1343 tonns. Maximum speed allowed with this composition is 100km/h.

The shift starts at 5pm at the Terminal in Bergen where we assemble the tran and do the break testing before heading off. Departure time is 7:12pm and arrival at Ål is 11:08pm. This time of year it never gets really dark in Norway.

The big difference in this video compared to others I have done, is that you get to see the coupling between loco and cars and not to mention that I've swapped out the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K for a Sony FX3. A huge difference when it comes to noise and visibility in the tunnels. There shalt never be darkness again.
