Funny that you used photos of the Roco models of the LKAB IORE locomotives and hopper cars. These models are difficult to find these days. And modelling an entire train is probably never going to happen. 🙂

I live in Australia

FLIP THAT, THAT THAT THAT THAT THAT THAT 1:58

I think the reason why there hasn't been many updates about the bombardier project is because of the fact that the different governments over the years have sabotaged trafikverkets budget or should I say more or less has prioritized car infrastructure or given more money to the military and not the money needed for repairing the railway. Which is why swedish railways are in bad condition.

Is this narrated by AI? Sounds weird

This looks like it could be revolutionary, but it should absolutely not be called High Speed if it's stuck at 230 Km/h

STILL NOT AS HEAVY AS YOUR MOM

How do trains operate in harsh arctic conditions? I still don't know since you didn't say anything about it. Should have been titled 'History and factoids about Sweden's rail infrastructure'.

Not covering the news from the world where it's actually being built but the place where it's not.

$170 USD one way from Vancouver to Portland seems okay, though not super competitive with flying. Governments should subsidize it to make it more competitive. I would also consider just placing the HSR station in surrey rather than Vancouver, since Surrey has good connectivity to the rest of Vancouver metro via the skytrain network.

Banan= banana 🍌 Banan= the line - Banan in Swedish are both written the same way, but pronounced diffrently. You're talking about the ore banana, the iron fruit.

I don’t see the benefit of this project. There are super fast that travel within a half hour to Spain and Morocco. Every hour there are a couple of ferries that go both ways. It’s already easy and convenient. This is nothing more than a prestige project.

They could provide some under- and overpasses for the reindeers. This way they might be "out of sight" for the deers and for the people.

15kV 16.7Hz AC exists on one stretch of rail between the German Border at Retz and the Czech town of Znojmo

Eventually an army of 50,000 AI robots working 24/7 will build this thing in 2 years and come waaaay under budget.

Steal from who ?

There are few companies involve in this projects Including (China Railway Construction Corp) CRCC, SIEMENS, ABENGOA, adif, renfe, Consultrans, OHL, Alshoula, Talgo, Copasa, IMATHIA Construccion, Indra, ineco, Cobra GRUPO, AIRosan Company.

You can ask questions as to how two trains derailed so close in time, and who gains most from it happening 🤔

Canadian railways still use a lot of wooden ties. After a derailment with concrete ties they usually have to be replaced. Depending on the severity, wooden ties can be delayed in replacement. Wooden ties don't last as long otherwise, but maintenance is not as big a task these days. Interesting to see how other countries do it. I liked the economics on twinning.

Hey really enjoy your videos , would be cool see you do a video covering New Zealand narrow gauge railway

Can you make a video about the railway project that Kurdistan Region want to made or the Development Road of Iraq??

Glasgow and Edinburgh have such good connectivity numbers due to both wmcl and ecml and the four electrified lines between each other, also Glasgow has the largest city wide rail network after London

You can’t forget the absaloute beast of the class 373

Great... 😉👍

The SA3 coupler was not designed by the Soviets; rather, the original design was created by one John Willison, a locksmith from Derby, England in 1912. The design was sold to Knorr Bremse, who patented it in 1914 in Europe and in 1916 in the USA. The Soviets decided to adopt it in the early 1930's when they lost patience waiting for the UIC to decide on a replacement automatic coupler for European railways. They unilaterally chose the Willison coupler, then reworked and adapted it to URSS conditions, creating the SA3.

Question: what are the requirements to be considered a heavy line? Also, as a novice, I have a hard time deciding if that 25T axis weight is kind of a lot or not. Could you elaborate on that?

Those wagons look simular to one of the styles used here in the US for Iron ore transport. These cars are 24ft long, and operated under numerous railroads, most notably the DM&IR, BN, CNW, and CN, and are commonly called "Minnesota Ore Cars" (don't know why). Many cars are preserved, or in operation today, with new batches being made each year. The other style is a short, gondola (20-30ft), and said style has been gone for a while. Modern examples are the Rapid Discharge Hoppers, which are 43ft long and used for a variety of other ore/rock transports(except for the CN example, CN still utilizes the 24ft Minnasota Ore Car)

Can you make a similar video about Romania? Although it is not a country with anything special, I'd like to know what has been done, especially in the last ten years. I'm also curious what's about to come in the nearby future. Thanks!

Soviet technology better than nowadays one! 😅🤩😇

5:00 Russian train :)

Its worth saying that when the track was built sweden and norway was in a union where infrastructure between the two countries as well as defense was fully integrated.

Ehh, Pajala doesn't have a railway. But Gällivare does. An error in the first minute....

You missed the mines in Malmberget and Aitic in Gällivare.

I believe that all of Bombardier rail was acquired by Alstom, maybe they have information on their website....

The ER200s weren't built in the Estonian SSR, but rather the Latvian SSR! They were built by Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca in Riga. They were not just the first Soviet EMUs designed for speeds up to 200km/h, but also the first high-speed Direct Current intercity EMU in general to have a rheostatic brake. While the ER200s were built just for the route between Moscow and St. Petersburg, many RVR trains built during the Soviet period are still in active service across the former USSR like ER2s in Armenia and Azerbaijan and the ER9s in Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Belarus, and even in past non-USSR communist states like the Class 412s in Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro (which were of course once part of Yugoslavia). While the Talgo Strizh trains first ran between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, they were also used for the long Berlin-Moscow route which they entered service for in December 2016 and ran until March 2020. Westbound used to be over 24 hours and eastbound was over 25 hours, but this changed when the Strizh shortened the journey in both directions to 20 hours, so using the Strizh trains for the route shortened the time it took by a bit. They've been used on the St Petersburg-Samara route as well

These high-speed train on a video (0:07) is Siemens Velaro build specialy for Russia - Velaro RUS or Sapsan (250 km/h) . After feb 2022 Siemens leave Russia. rains didn't leave Russia. Maintenance and repairs are carried out in the same way as before - Russian specialists, Russian-made spare parts and German equipment. There was a court decision according to which all special equipment will remain. No worries. It's was fun to see this combination of different videos and voiceover. Now 2 month ago it was announced the construction of a high-speed railway with a minimum train speed of 300 km/h up to 400 km/h.

Informative report. 👍🏾😎 Thx 🙂

Excellent video!

but tbh more than 2 minutes talking about your sponsor etc is a tad too much, at least as early in the video as you did

Love the Iron Ore Line and Ofoten Line. Both the ironore trains running for LKAB and Kaunis Iron are impressive and the landscape is fascinating. And impressive that they've electrified the entire line more than a century ago already

Машина одна все делает и работников мало, а в России у нас работников нагонят и машины ломаются .

2024 on it go's

great video - thanks

China has exploited foreign technology for civilian & military use from both Europe & Russia. The method is to request for open bids for very large number of units in the beginning “350 railway rolling stock, 200 fighter jets” etc. But once the initial couple of dozen units & critical technology is transferred, the “contracts” are either renegotiated or outright cancelled. China would then soon after introduce “their own” version of the same products without even bothering to change even the external appearances. Germany also “collaborated” for some time with China on the Maglev technology which currently runs in Shanghai. Russian Sukhoi fighter jets & Chinese counterparts looks almost identical. But it is a clever strategy to jump start from a poor developing country to a country almost at par with the top technologically advanced countries in the world.

It would be great if JR could bring back the E4 series, updating it and making it much faster. Double decker trains are so much more efficient in terms of moving more people at one time.

I have a question and didnt get answer for it after watching this video, single phase 25kV line used here and neutral is grounded through wheel and railway track, now my question is what ever is the amount of current flowing from 25KV phase goes to neutral (ground), how the circuit is completed here, and what about the losses when the neutral is grounded? Please answer
