Train cab ride through Norway.[1] A train driver in Norway has been posting cab ride videos. No selfies, no music, little commentary, just a front view out the cab window. Very peaceful.

We had a TV show like that in Germany, it ran from 1995 to 2013: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_sch%C3%B6nsten_Bahnstrecke....

See also Don Coffey's channel. There's a decent selection of high quality cab rides around the TransPennine UK rail franchise area:

The Internet keeps reminding me that I would give up my Software Engineer gig in an instant to drive trucks/trains in Scandinavia.

A train driver is one of the hardest jobs to get into - you're personally responsible for a thousand people and it's very very boring. It requires a lot of discipline!

This[1] train driver in Switzerland does the same. It's amazing how 3 hours can flyby.

Very nice. How can one convert this to VR (google cardboard) format?

Wow, I got sucked in and realized I'd watched 30 minutes. I also just realized I want to live in a small 1 train stop town in Norway.
