This is a fun cam to watch. Once the light gets dim enough you can tell that west bound trains are lined up since the signals for to double green, usually about 15 - 20 minutes before train arrives, then at about 3 minutes the lights at the crossing start blinking at a fast pace and finally, if you look carefully, a light in the shed starts to blink at about 1 minute.

The 22:00 SB Freight came through a little early tonight, somewhat uncommon double header

Followed by a quick meet between a SB & NB at 22:35 local time. Blew the shot of the SB (butterfingers).

Thanks for the update on the schedule, I'll have to update a little schedule card that I made up and keep by my computer.  I have enjoyed looking at this cam almost every day, especially now that the daylight is so long.

And once in a while you are lucky and get something like this.

A freight heading to Bergen went through Finse at quite a clip at 3:24 am.I live in the Boston, MA  area so I caught it around 9:24 pm tonight(10th).One locomotive and about 20-25 cars with containers.  The overnight train from Oslo is about 20 minutes late at Gol so it may not arrive Finse until 4:30 am

Thanks for providing the updated schedules.  This is a wonderful site for railfans.I wish there were other Scandinavian or European webcams like this one
Too bad there is not another camera at the Finse station to get all of the action but what we have now is great
 

There was one in the Netherlands which was great until it got hacked!

4489 out.

Caught this meet consistently a couple times now, updated schedule

I think I know the one you are thinking of. It had a lot of traffic signals that flashed yellow at night and had a lot of other signals for traffic that came on when a train came through. My computer started told me not to open it up so I didn't since I didn't even think I had a web protection system installed anymore it must be bad news.

A very busy Nasjonaldagen today!  They had a ceremony this morning at 8am local time. Note also the women on the left in picture 1, in traditional dress. It was sunny then, but now fog for #64. Many flags, which is a big part of Norwegian Constitution Day.
