The worst rail journey in the world (curves of the rails, wavy rails, train, undulating track, Dangerous railways world, snow removal from railway,bad railroads) #railway_videos
Time-lapse movies shows trains that are actually moving very slowly and carefully. It is amazing how reliable 1800's railroad technology still is today, even when tracks are not properly maintained. Buckling of continuous steel tracks happens when temperatures change throughout the seasons, causing expansion and contraction of the tracks. Proper tracks are laid in sections with breaks between the sections so that expansion has room to occur. When expansion has this room, there is no buckling of the tracks. This applies also to some pavements and roads for cars and trucks.
The newest railroads didn't have breaks (CWR - Continuous Welded Rails), but much more expensive than normal rails. en dot wikipedia dot org/wiki/Track_(rail_transport)#Continuous_welded_rail
Nope, there were peat/turf - railways in Germany. The rails are loose on the ground in marshland without ballast, cause there are moved in daily/weekly shedules some times. But that ist no problem for theses little trains. The Tram was always the same line in eastern europe und the green loco that came fourth might be in Russia. Only the second train was third world. The rest were some US-railroads....
Lol, I love how most of these are in Eastern Europe. "Miroslav, are you ofs the thinkings we should of put foundation BEFORE we are of putting dis tracks?" "Nyet, Ivan, u r of stupids. If we are of buying cement for foundation where will ve get money for of Wodka?"
Cheese Grater I guess European trains have a certain look to them. I also noticed the adverts in the background were in Cyrillic, that slavic looking script
Nah, I've had a far worse ride than any of those and it happened in England! What happened was that my through-ticket to Exeter was not properly honoured and I was evicted into the street to wait for my connection which was at twenty four minutes past five in the morning. (The station closed at half past one in the small hours) It was winter and in my opinion it was bitterly cold and there was nowhere to shelter as the accountants have done away with Waiting Rooms. There were not even any cardboard boxes to shelter in or use as insulation as the Council have made everything as unfriendly as possible for "street people". Result I got Frostbite and a blister filled with yellow liquid formed on my big toe. OK the blister has almost gone after three months but I am still suffering pains elsewhere as a result of that fiasco. Furthermore the "24 hour McDonalds just down the road" did not exist according to about six taxi drivers so I would surmise that the McDonalds story was just the station manager's ruse to get passengers out of the station. I SHALL NOT BE RENEWING MY RAILCARD as from now on I won't be using the train anymore. It is better to use a decent motor-coach if one has to go up-country to buy a fresh car etc. On no account use the so-called bargain basement type of coach operation as these are truly dismal. Bad coaches (1) The drivers usually only drive for less than an hour before hopping-off and driving another coach back to where they came from. It is nobody's coach. (2) If the coach has a bad fault such as a bent prop-shaft that causes the floor to buzz with intolerable vibration, the driver doesn't care as he will be changing vehicles very soon. (3) It is common for these dreadful coaches to have bad engines with misfires. In fact a "cheap" coach that was only a third full was struggling with hills. It was so bad that on the Trans-Pennine Motorway, lorries carrying massive steel girders and heavy loads of stone were overtaking it! By the time that the coach reached the North East it was three hours overdue! That's another company that is now on my blacklist. Take care!
I think the big thing is most train tracks in U.S.A are laid in rebarbed cement / compacted ground which don't have permafrost in them. In the USA, we haven't laid tracks in sub-tropical environments and when it happens, we re-enforce the ground with gravel and numerous other things to prevent the tracks from buckling..
I never thought such winding crooked rail load existed.........looking at Shinkansen in Japan.........how such train possible???? You need a help.............
Thank you for this very funny video, The TOP! It made me laugh so much, couldn't believe that it's possible for those trains to still go from A to B and transport people in (relative) safety, but thoroughly shaken on arrival. It also increased my confidence in humanity, that no matter what mad shapes the rail-track shows up with , the train will ride as long as the track is in one piece. It's not very different from how many of us lead lives along a track that has lost shape. Still, life goes on, it can only become better and in the end.... it will ;)
Well where I live at the public infrastructure is just fine, railroads in the U.S. are privately owned and it`s up to them to fix their own infrastructure.
How to NOT have done a Railway Track laid out. No Leveling, no adequate embedding, no stable Base Grounding, lacking enough Wooden/Concrete Bars embedded into a bed of Pebbles. No Levelling and Stuffing Machines in Service obviously for regular Servicing of the Railtrack. Derailing is highly imminent here.
Bernd J P in the UK they have all that but the lazy staff haven't got the balls to get out of bed and work that's why nearly all British trains are late or break down all the time. No good having the equipment if you haven't got reliable workers
mine rails need to be able to be put down fast so I can understand those as for the commuter rails come on, even if that country doesn't care about safety too much surely there's a point where you go "we should maybe fix this"
