Train hitting huge snow drifts on the Bergen Line, Norway. This is from the mountain pass during winter. Snow and weather can shift fast and it is totally unforgiving.
The following links shows the whole trip from Voss to Ål, and will let you see how the amount of snow increases as we gain altitude. It will also the insane winter conditions we’re tackling.

Snowdrifts
Do snow conditions such as this have any effect on your schedule?
Another video illustrating how pathetic the railway “Non service” is in the UK!
Is this heaven? No, it's Norway.
And just think, he's getting paid to do that! How many people would do that job for free? This video = a fun day at work!
Beautiful! What camera are you using? Looks perfect.
Amazing! Having strong ploughs and enough power on your engines you can make it easily. Our engines have much weaker ploughs which can't cope with snow more than 30 cm. I have the bad experience trying to go through drifts about 60 cm and being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Yet, we have just 1 (one) snowblower for more than 6000 (six thousand) km of railtracks. Nice, eh?
Awesome
Watching this makes me wonder just how much snow can a train push through. Assuming you could see it in advance, at what point would you consider it unsafe, throw on the brakes and pray?
love it!
Goodness, I would be concerned about missing a signal or sign during those moments when my vision is suddenly obscured (or Something in the cab distracted me) How do engineers cope with this? Perhaps they learn their routes so well, that the signage is committed to memory?
Very awesome film clip!
Awesome
that is amazing. Our trains stop running when there are "the wrong leaves on the track".
What would happen if you hit one of those big drifts right as you were passing a signal and couldn't read it?
Nice video there most likely a complete version of it …if I recall I might have seen it
I'm surprised there wasn't a plow running ahead to clear the way
Disappointed. Not once did I hear you yell, "Yeehaw!" as you busted those drifts.😎
Er ikke det litt ekkelt?
Lol cool video! I would love to drive trains across the country. There has to be some amazing views! Especially out in places where the only thing touched by humans is the rail line. No billboards, no bullshit, just beautiful scenery.
wonderful ride, did you getv any eletronic help on the track or just driving by you own ??
Beautiful. So smooth.
Just amazing! A must see the video. Thanks .
Wow that's a lot of snow 🙂
Beautiful scenery !
Thought the Swedes and Finns were mad having met some of their rally drivers. Now I know that the Norwegians are just as mad. Must something the water! FABULOUS.
If that was here in the UK, the trains would still be on shed. Just ask my mate Don! Tee hee. Chaz
wish there was a recording from the "outside" as the locomotive drove through the pile!
Do you have a link to full video? 🙂
:))
How does it feel to see nothing in front of you?
Can the train be damaged by this hit in the snow?
I would be scared driving that train!
I love it when you can't see the rails. It's like being catapulted into oblivion.
Love the train rides, beautiful country, hello from Silverton Oregon, USA
Amazing snow shots of snow drifts. 👍👍👍. 12-3-2022
