I was an engineer on the ships transporting the iron ore from Narvik to Port Talbot in Wales in the ’60’s. We also hauled iron ore from Kirkenes. Our ship was named ‘Orecrest'
Nice, efficient, electric locomotives transporting the iron, until it gets onboard the extremly polluting cargo ships… why not just transport the iron by electric trains all the way to it’s final destination, unless it’s across the atlantic? If we can’t get people to ditch car and plane travel, let’s at least switch all the cargo transportation over to electric rail.
"Malmbanan" The Ore-railway goes from Luleå in Sweden to Narvik in Norway. The rail is specallt built to carry the heavy loads the öre trains. To build thees kind of tracks is expensiv. In Luleå they make steel around Kiruna is the mines and in Narvik is the port were the ore is exporten. Narvik has a icefree port due to the golf streem who carry varm water from the mexican golf up to the nothern Atlantis ocean In Luleå they load the ore to smaller trains and keep the steelinustry going on several steelplants futher South in Sweden. In some cases they produce fossilfree steel
I am grateful of this channel as I can take in the wonderous Swedish countryside and meditate to the rails on the tracks and all the fittings groaning and moaning...very relaxing. Cheers Swedish RR!
I was on a ship, the MV Orecrest back in the ’60’s loading cargos of your iron ore for Port Talbot in Wales! we were told that the ore came by rail from Sweden so it is nice to be able to follow the route all these years later…Thank you! We also loaded ore in Kirkenes but I believe that was mined locally.
Back in those days there where no direct road from Narvik and into Sweden instead cars where loaded onto trains through the roadless terrain. The road opened in 1982.
Excellent ride along was glad to hear a lady engineer at the controls. Other than some Russian trains these are longest train I've seen in Europe, you have a different coupling system standard buffer and chain like in other Euro countries. I noticed the old diesel locomotive as you pulled into the final railyard it doesn't look like any locomotive I've seen in Europe before, once again great video.
Härlig och bra film! Kul att få se lite andra delar av Norden. Annan linje som vore kul att få se är kusten mellan Umeå och Gävle. Snyggt filmat och vacker resa! Det var värt att vänta!
All freight possible should be moved to electric trains pulling power from overhead wires. We won't get people to consume less, so only solution is too consume smarter, by using trains instead of cars, ships, and planes whereever possible.
G’day from Australia. Thank you for uploading this. I am in hospital; this is wonderful escapism from the hospital bed. The scenery is amazing; they sky stunning. How long is the train? Best regards 🚂 💨 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 👍 💜
Thank you Anthony! :) The train is 409 meters long. We hope you will be well soon and are happy to be able to give you some ecapism! Our best wishes from the entire team
So I take it this was filmed one morning in late May, or early June? Amazing (a) how slowly the dawn turns into day; (b) that there's still a lot of snow inland.
Odd that there's no videotape/photo of the train, locomotive or hopper cars . . . are these the same as the static equipment that appears in the yard during the last two minutes? Always nice to catch a glimpse of the train first, if only to put everything in context. Otherwise, nice video - thanks for the upload.
Tack för den vackra videon!!!Toppen!!!Naturen i Sverige är mycket vacker och fantastisk!!!När lämnade du Narvik?Vad var lasten?Finns det bara godståg som körs på detta avsnitt, eller finns det fortfarande pendeltåg?

Is there snow on the ground year-round this far north? I grew up in New York State near Canada & we sometimes had snow fall in May & October. Thanks for posting this.
That's quite the climb out of Narvik, what is the grade? I sure would like to see a trip from the mine to Narvik, must be a spectacular view with lots of Dynamic braking!
Ofotbanen är väldigt spännande. En mycket vacker järnvägslinje. Den svenska delen till Torneträsk är också vacker. Den här filmen förtjänar en stor komplimang. Vänliga hälsningar från Schweiz.
Thank you for uploading really good videos!!😊👍👍👍 I love all videos that you upload, and your channel too!👍👍 I love locomotives and trains! I think this is very calming to look at!😉👍 Kind regards from subscriber johan.😊
Great historical line. Looks like they made new line on the right side from Norddalsbron bridge. I am not sure where new section starts, but it ends after Sosterbekk. At 45:20 it joins from the left side. Could be interesting to explore old section of the line on foot.
The BR185 are used for trains for Kaunis Iron (they're operating a mine in Pajala). The Iores are owned and operated by LKAB from the Kiruna, Svappavaara and Malmberget mines.
There are regular passenger trains Narvik-Luleå and Narvik-Stockholm, tourist trains Narvik-Bjørnefjell-Narvik and regular cargo trains (including Narvik-Oslo via Sweden as this line is isolated from the rest of the Norwegian network), but the iron ore trains dominate the traffic.
Most trains in Europe are no longer than 800 meters or so, or about 40 cars. This is because they often have to share tracks with frequent passenger trains. This far into the North of Sweden and Norway, there aren't many passenger trains (some local trains and some sleeper trains), but the distance between crossing stations is smaller (due to the many small villages), so it's perfectly viable to just use multiple short trains rather than one long train. Also, if you make sure that there's always a train going uphill and downhill at the same time, then the power generated from the brakes of the downhill train will be fed back into the system and can power the uphill-going train. In fact, the system creates more power than it uses, because full, heavy trains go downhill while light, empty trains go uphill.
with 68 cars, length of 700 meters and weight of 8,160 tons iron ore trains up there are already way above the average in Europe. In Germany freight trains used to be limited to 670 meters, however up to 835 meter long trains were tested on a track going to Denmark where this odd number is the legal max length already. Many freight trains in Germany run with 25 to 30 cars, however in contrast to the US or Australia, these trains are travelling at much higher speeds and there are way more trains on the move at a time.
You alsow maiby have more to transport in bigger contrys. In DK feks, 29 wagons from Padborg to Koebenhavn, non stop. And an nother from Frederikshavn to Padborg, mon stop. And so on. In Denmark they still youse trucks to most of the inland trans, becaus the distance is chort and many rails are pult up. Not god fore the enwirement, but at the Short times god. We are a little black on elektrik trains 😺
Almost. These locomotives uses IGBT modules to drive the electric asynchronous motors. So it´s VFD tecnology meaning it´s the frequency controlling the speed of the electric motor
Can we get info about the date of this wideo? Hope you do not have so much snow during june :) Regards from Serbia!Thank you sharing this video , far north is exotic for southeast Europe ...
Great video from the far north. I was wondering if you have info on the red, white, and blue painted GM streamliner engine parked on a siding in the video.
Thank you! :) Belive you mean the NOHAB/GM class TMY painted in Tree T/Railcare colors? It's a private goods locomotive. Here's some info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSB_Class_MY :)

Aber eine Frage habe ich: Am Endpunkt standen Wagen und die haben so topfförmige Ringe, wozu??? Über eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen! Herzliche Grüße aus Bad Vöslau! Und bleiben Sie gesund!
Hallo, Landsmann! Ich denk, daß die für die Schlaufen beim Kran sind. Das dürften so Kippmulden sein, weil ich hab unten die Blende gesehen. Ich vermute, der Waggon kommt zu so einer Vorrichtung, dann wird eine Schlaufe an den Ring angehängt und vom Kran hochgezogen. Zeitgleich wird der Waggon seitlich angehoben und die Ladung fällt in die Grube.

Der Ring, der im Moment nicht zu sehen ist, ist für den Haken beim Kran und die Mulde wird seitlich angehoben und das Eisenerz fällt in die Grube bzw. in den Trichter beim Förderband Siehst eh die Gelenke an der Mulde.

Very quiet. No activity. What time of the day would this be? If this sis summer, what would the temperature be. I see it is still under snow. Does the snow ever melt? If this is what Summer looks like, it must be hell in Winter. I take it that it must be tough up North. Nice video. I like it. Different from where we are in the Southern Hemisphere. We are in the middle of Winter, and it is cold. It must be worse in your part.
Tvank you Leon! 😀 Indeed it's up north, in fact above the north polar circle so very north. We depart from Narvik at around 02.30 and this was filmed in May so temperatures were still quite low. The snow do melt in the flatlands but remains on the higher mountains

its the suspension according to a reply further down.👍
Does this line only transport Iron ore, or, are there other trains
olling stock that use it? Does NRK have access to the line, in some manner?

Almost. These locomotives uses IGBT modules to drive the electric asynchronous motors. So it´s VFD tecnology meaning it´s the frequency controlling the speed of the electric motor

They are operated by Railcare.
No clear image of the destination on Google Earth. There are a number of areas named Pitkäjärvi, none of which seemed to fit.

i here the village was moved a wee bit because of subsidence from the mines
Open Railway Map (www.openrailwaymap.org/) does a good job, too. I turn on the Mapnik layer (upper right corner) to enhance the view.

Eliminar las imágenes de los cruces con otros trenes hace perder interés a los que amamos los trenes, tampoco pusieron imágenes de las terminales. en fin buen video pero con carencias importantes

Jag mena varför stannar ni inte på någon station förutom Narvik och pitkäjärvi
Tåget kör järnmalm till hamnen i Narvik.
Det stannade ju i Abisko Östra också, för att släppa förbi ett västgående tåg.
Those locomotives almost drive themselves automatically. Very little input from the conductor needed.
From Narvik to Kiruna??
