4K CABVIEW: Howling winds and HEAVY snow! 🌨️🌨️❄️🌬️

The roads are closed due to the howling winds and heavy snow over the mountain pass, the trains, for us it's normal service as usual. One of the huge benefits of trains are the ability to traverse areas with horrendous winds and snow due to our weight and mass.

Starting off at Ål I will run a freight train to the freight terminal in Bergen.
The moon is right behind us and it will light up the mountain landscape on our way over.
The trip traverses the mountain pass on the Bergen Line which is one of the most inhospitable environment during winter. It's cold, it's snowy and the weather can turn on you within minutes. You'll even see the stark difference from one side of the Finse tunnel to the other.

Interesting points on the trip has been marked with a ❗ in the chapters section.

Enjoy!
