My last full day in Norway on this trip. I'm still in the Bergen area, but tonight I'm taking the night train back to Oslo

The station is named after a nearby mountain, 1470m above sea level

It's possible to walk all the way to Myrdal, but I don't have time for that. Here is the entrance to one of the longest tunnels on the Bergen railway - Gravhalstunnelen, 5311 m, which opened in 1908
My friends are here again
There are bridges on the route
Train from Oslo to Bergen
Nice place for a trainspotting
Crystal clear lake
It's hot today; the sheep have to hide in the shadow
Wonder what they are thinking
It's not always this nice weather up here, so at the station building it is possible to get warm rest
Next stop - Myrdal, where there are significantly more people
My regional train from Bergen is now renamed to F4 to Oslo S
The station is cozy here too, there is also a cafe/restaurant
A beer and a hot dog
A guard is making sure no tourist is crossing the railway
Asian tourists have prepared umbrellas, but not for the rain in this case

At Voss, I'm having a short stop

Norgesmøllene AS avd Vaksdal is a historic flour mill and production facility located on Sørfjorden in Vaksdal, Vestland, Norway, operated by the major Norwegian grain and flour producer Norgesmøllene.
Now it's time for a bunch of freight trains passing by here

I'm on one of the shortest rail services I am aware of, just a few minutes' ride and no stops until Arna

The service has a punctuality of 99% which must be the record in Scandinavia
The station is populated with young gulls
The mother is watching
The train from Bergen is delayed
