Finse

A Screen grab from Finse Station this morning, and still the trains run okay,even if you can hardly see the track,well worth looking at the webcam http://www.bt.no/tv/#!/video/100521/finse-stasjon
as the weather changes very quickly, you may have to watch a 20 second advert before you see the station

A Few More Finse pictures from today, a lone man on his snowmobile, you cannot see the tracks



The train entering the station


The train leaving, I must admit it was 4 minutes late, yet Virgin East Coast struggle to keep time on a fast train, on a sunny day

Super shots Terry very much appreciated . My appreciation for the photos would only be outstripped if they managed to keep the white stuff to themselves and it does not venture to our shores

Wow!
And here I am still roasting in the desert....

I had a quick look the line must be blocked and there is a JCB trying to clear a path through for the train . I assume the building to the left is some sort of lodge/hotel because a father and son came out jumped on a snow sledge and took off you can see the tracks in the foreground . Just looking at this has sent my temperature down quite a few degrees going to counter by looking at a Webcam in Tenerife

The building you mention is the Finse hotel,which gets very busy when there is plenty of snow about, and at certain times of the year can be quiet expensive

and at certain times of the year can be quiet expensive

Or do you mean "Quietly Expensive" ???

just checked and it is all still, lights flashing but track visible so should be running to time. Obviously did not need the snow plough I saw parked up near Newton Abbott yesterday.

Huge achievement keeping the train running as the track covers with snow in minutes . We ,in the UK, struggle with a few leaves on the line.

Now known as "adverse rail conditions"in the displayspeak (as provided by Notwork Fail) ... means the same thing TRAIN LATE AGAIN!
