Bergensbanen Minute by Minute set a trend for a series of shorter real-time railway ride recordings, performed by NRK staff.
Flåmsbanen is a short railway branching from Bergensbanen, starting at 866 meters above sea level in Myrdal and ending in Flåm, just 2 meters above sea level. The trip offers some spectacular mountain views.
The camera recordings from the trip with Flåmsbanen were published by NRK under the Creative Commons license.

I have created several renditions of the trip.
Anaglyph 3D
NRK published the first part of the journey, excluding tunnels as two separate video sources from left- and right-eye cameras. Using those, I have created a red-cyan anaglyph version using an excellent optimised anaglyph plug-in for AviSynth by Gabor Kertai.
First, the 10x timelapse of the trip:
As a backup, the timelapse can be watched from the on-site location.
And then the same 3D trip at the regular speed:

The complete journey takes 57 minutes with all the vistas, stops and tunnels (and, sometimes, stops within tunnels). This 10x timelapse will let you descend 864 meters in just under 6 minutes
As a backup, the timelapse can be watched from the on-site location.
But then, for the real connoisseur, the trip can be also enjoyed at real time:
For those interested, here are the AviSynth scripts, used in production of these timelapses.
