【新幹線が峠超え】スイッチバックの遺構が残る駅を見学しました。 

オススメから初めて参りましたが、男性のRU-vidrさんの場合どうしても声が気になる方が多いのですが、声優さんばりの声で安定していて羨ましい声です。本業なのでしょうか？

映像では冬手前という感じなので、ギリ、冬眠前のクマさんが里に出てくる可能性がありますよね。ナイス準備と思います。

力餅の販売やね。 8個入り1000円。旨いぞ〜

てつおさんの作品はやがて歴史資料になりましょう。国会図書館や、アメリカのスミソニアンに入るに違いない。

マジでおすすめ。めっちゃ旨いで

As far as i know the Ou Mainline was once also in 1067mm like the rest of Japan. These Switchback Stations are the leftovers from this time. The Standart Gauge siding at the Itaya Station might be a simple left over from the conversion time for Maintenance vehicles. Like on the Usui Pass with it´s EF63s Banking engines, the Ou Line used EF71 Banking Engines with the simple task to aid Trains up and down the Pass.

@@Tupolev_Works Thank you for your answer. We have railway lines with banking engines too, but the number decreased because of new railway lines and reconstruction with lower gradients, like railway section Laufach-Heigenbrücken in Germany. New tunnels were build there, they don't need banking engines now.

@@leonbergmann7653 ich weiß, an der Geislinger Steige wird auch ab und an noch Nachgeschoben.

You know for climbing steep slope on trains you need to avoid climb without using rack rail. In order to clear these problems, the rail company needed to build the main line setting the railway to climb along the valley or like that train can run around the mountain with a calm slope without using rack-railed tracks, that is a loop line using short tunnels. You can see it in Hokuriku Main Line or Joetsu Line. But Still big problems are: How do we stop such a heavy, long freight trains or local trains? --- These problems are still at issue at Chuo Main Line, Hatsukari Station, even in the fastest Limited Express Azusa runs there! To avoid the fast express, freight trains go to a side line to go back to a "stand-by" station place to start running again. Electric cars are easy to stop along the slope, however, electric engine driven freight trains cannot due to so huge and heavy luggages! Just after the Expresses or Local passengers cars had a departure, the freights ones start running using a flat place, making a full power, they climbs again! The Ou main line's switch-back station was used just before starting the construction so that Yamagata Shinkansen trains like "Tsubasa Super Express can run easily. (Gauge changed from Japan standard 1067mm Gauge to a World standard ones ) Also Local passenger electric cars were made specially for the Broad Gauge. Thanks to these passenger car without using locomotives, Switch-back stations retired because electric passenger Local cars can stop and go along the slope!

ホンマに旨いんで是非。

一度行ってみたいですね！

ロクヨンが走ってたころの貴重な資料を見たくなります。

食べるとまた食べたくなりますよ

ですよねー。片方だけ切断してしまえば楽じゃないかと思ったんですが、曲げている理由は何なんですかね？。 工務の方が、かつての駅と線路を切り離すのが忍びなかったんでしょうかね。

碓氷峠もあるんですか？ ここは板谷峠ですよ？

@@internationaleldorado1532 由来も味も異なりますが、碓氷峠も1963年以前のアプト式時代は途中の熊ノ平駅で峠駅と同じく力餅を売っていましたよ。売っていた業者さんは今は駅も線路もなくなったので横川側に下った道路沿いに移って営業しています。
