7+ hour video of a 300 mile train ride from Bergen to Oslo in Norway

[relaxok]

Apologies if some of you know about this already, but I didn't see it posted here.

The subject pretty much says it -- a 7-hour 'trainumentary' - just one giant 300-mile train trip on the Bergen line, from Bergen to Oslo.  No breaks, talking heads or voiceovers.   I watched about 4 hours of this at a friend's party one night.

Some incredible landscapes, an endless array of bridges, tunnels, and tiny alpine towns - major elevation changes too.  Not to mention interesting rail engineering!

You guys of all people I think would appreciate it.   I'm linking these clips because they were the first ones I could find.  You can click on various clips in the navigator below the video frame.  If you want to download the entire 265 gig HD version, the torrent file is linked here:

By the way, the meter length + name overlay cards are the length and name of the tunnel the train is about to enter.

Mesmerizing!  I love the varied speed of the train and the smoothness of the ride.. not to mention the visuals!

Hope some of you enjoyed it as much as I did!
