First I want to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support! You guy's are AWESOME! I'm so glad and humble my videos means so much to you. Thank you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Each year marks a change in both roster and duty list.
So we're now driving some of the long hauls from Voss to Ål on a regular basis.

This trip goes, as mentioned, from Voss til Ål with the regional train from Bergen to Oslo.

Had to use the wipers in the lower parts but as we got higher and further away from the coast the temperature dropped way below zero and the snow became dry and light. With other words, less need of wipers. Haha!.

It's always fascinating to see how the weather changes at Finse. From snow and overcast to fantastic and beautiful winter sun and light.

Trivia: Finse is the location for the ice planet Hoth in Star Wars "Empire Strikes Back".
