#Taiwan #تايوان Alishan Forest Railway cargo train (Feb.6.2018) Section 1: at 2nd Switch Station Section 2: at No.60 bridge. Section 3: at main line 64k+400m
@Alco Power - Did you notice how well the trees are 'maintained' - nothing on, or, 'over- hanging' the tracks. This part at least is what I would call a "Farmed Forest" with all the trees neatly spaced out and not masses of 'undergrowth' to allow them to grow to their maximum.
@@r.w.7232 You do realise there are different gauges for rails right? Not everything is built to the scale of what is seen in North America or Major lines in Europe.
The train was fascinating - more or less human scale rather than the industrial behemoths elsewhere - and the forest is like a fairytale setting. There is such charm in this video. Thank you for sharing it!
It looks like a narrow gauge logging railroad. There are still a few like this in the US, many operating as tourist railroads, such as Cass Scenic RR in West Virginia. Narrow gauge railroads have rails closer together and smaller rolling stock, and for logging they built them like this. The train you see in the beginning is using a switchback, where the train pulls into a spur, then backs up through the switch to continue uphill or downhill. It's not an efficient way to climb mountains for a large railroad but it works for small ones like this. Mountain railroads like this will use several switchbacks to climb up and down hillsides.
i love everything about this, the whole aesthetic is mind blowing to me. the rocks, the moss, the surreal trees, mini-train and multi-grade tracks, and those neat little stone drainage creeks next to the track. i could live in this video
Nice video. Thanks. I Rode this train up to Ali Shan and back in spring of 1988. I remember lots of Wasabi growing very thickly at some elevation. A wonderful experience.
I like the way that Japan incorporates technology into nature without destroying it. Someday I'm going to visit and take railroads to a mix of large, medium, and small cities/towns. Best wishes from USA.
This looks like the tracks that go through the woods a few blocks from my house. The trees are different but they arch over the tracks like a tunnel. I love walking it. If you go the other direction there's hundreds of acres of forest to explore off the tracks.
Bravo ! Vous avez l’œil. Très beau cadrage. Et qu’elle belle région. J’imagine ces plans en photos 3*2 mètres, juste avant que le train ne prenne trop de place... magnifique...
To look at the tracks you would think that nobody ever uses it. It's so quiet and peaceful then slowly but surely the train comes trundling along but even then it still looks quite surreal.
@@fpk1234 It doesn't exist except in a book for children with imaginations. By an author known only as BB. Worth trying Amazon if you're intrigued! Written in the 1930s I believe.
@Derrick M As far as I know, the bamboo railway is in Cambodia and Philippines. However, in recent years, Cambodia's railway equipment has been updated, and it is unknown whether the bamboo railway exists.
An adorable rail system. Be nice to see one in Britain like this. I would love to see less lorries on our roads and goods going by rail instead. It would be less of a carbon footprint!
@@fpk1234 I feel Taiwan is the real successor of the Great China Nation because it is the one who still carries all the virtues and values of it in spite of great belligerence by Communist captured main land. Hope, one day the Taiwanese thoughts will prevail over all of China.
Wow why did I think this would be one of those miniature train set videos because from the look of how the train is in the thumbnail I thought it was one of those miniature train set videos
Where's the train it's only a 5 minute clip . Oh! There it is and now it's gone ☹️. Wait it's coming back 😊 My 2 favourite things trains and forrest's 😁
You know I clicked on this so I could use it to test the 256 color quantization with palette display algorithm....lots of color and reasonably good resolution....
