I, to my shame, have only used the TGV 3 or 4 times, and all in the early-mid 1980s, so for me, this is the only TGV as I haven't been on any of the later ones. After travelling from Porto in Portugal to Hendaye on the Spanish border by very slow trains, the TGV was like a spaceship by comparison. And I once remember a very proud Frenchman determined to have a conversation in French about the relative merits of French and British trains with me. I have a soft spot for the old TGVs. And despite once driving through the Czech Republic, I never got to see Brno as we drove past at about midnight in 2008.
Trains and especially bullet trains are designed in this way on purpose, as they aren’t consumer goods like cars. Some trains stay in regular service for up to 70 years but at least a good 30-40 years.
It seems a tramway line, but it is not, even if it runs in a street. It is a regular industrial branch railway line with no sharp curves and with heavy rails geometrically designed for trains. It is 3km long and it crosses two tramway lines and several roads with heavy traffic. In USA these lines are not rare and it is possible to see trains with more than 100 goods wagons running in the street.
Street running was apparently really common before cars took over streets, theres a bunch of photos of massive streamlined steamers running on streets in New York
@@ChaplainDMK It used to be quite common in The Netherlands as well. Many industrial areas had lines that ran along streets, usually incorporating special signals for motorists to close down 1 lane on a three lane wide road so the train could pass without hitting anything. Those trains were never really that long here (usually only local freight services) and many lines disappeared from the end of the seventies onwards.
Actually, streetrunning freight and heavy rail trains are becoming more rare now. Interurban transit was all the rage back in the 1900s until the 1960s. Cars, trucks, planes, and highways took over the interurban rail networks in this country, and now Chicago is one of the few places that still has it. The South Shore Line in nearby Northern Indiana is now removing its street-running segments of the line between South Bend and Gary.

@@CST1992 That's no tramway - otherwise the track would have been destroyed. The spur from the freight yard to the Brno exhibition centre happens to be running in the street and crossing a tram line. But despite its tram-ish appearance is built to heavy rail standards of course.
@@CST1992 the squeaking is probably because the bend of the tracks is too sharp/tight. the tighter the turn, the more squeaking you'll hear, from any train, let alone one not designed for tight turns, but for high speeds in straights and very long turns.

Damn i didnt know they still had the original first TGV, when i was 9 years old this High speed train was one of my favorites its a piece that left us country alive for the train company and all TGV/LGV thank you so much greetings from France !! Merci
Lovely to catch this, a very special visit too. The Orange TGV the original and such a powerhouse when it came online. Ive never had a train ride a hill watch as my drink curves up and down so effortlessly. As an enthusiast i had to ride this to Lyon and back in a day. And they go believe me, proper power, and a French achievement that still is lovely to see. Thankyou for catching her on her way.
It’s great to know that several pieces of tie old TGV are being saved for future generations to enjoy and learn. The orange paint scheme is the basis for the LEGO 10233 Horizon Express train set, which I am fortunate to have.
I had commissioned a mobile rail car mover to which the wheel flanges were designed for heavy duty rail. At one point while towing new a light rail train (streetcar), the wheels never came into contact with the rail for it were the flanges coming into contact to the rail grove. The towing began well in the first 300mm, then slippage took over. Eventually, the wheel flanges were trued for light rail requirements.
It is heavy rail track, not grooved tramway. But the TGV wheelsets are designed for stability at high speed rather than going round tight curves, so the flanges are probably doing a lot more work than you'd normally expect.
@@joegrey9807 Industrial railway lines usually feature tighter turns than normal lines, so this always leads to strong sounds. It's usually also why the speed's so low.
@MVG2 X : The creaking and cracking has nothing to do with the size or weight of the rail. It is only due to the sharpness of the curve for this type of rolling stock.
Creeking and groaning is due to the curve radius being less than the minimum those wheel sets are designed for. Flanges are rubbing against the outside rail and the inside wheels are slipping on the inside rail (the creeking sound). The empty boxcars are for weight distribution. The diesel locomotives could have been coupled to the TGV directly but this would have exceeded the weight limits of the sub bed under the road with the weight of the diesels and TGV locomotives next to each other.
The box cars also act as mechanical interfaces between the TGV's power cars and the locomotive, the first having automatic couplers and the latter, hooks, shock absorbers and standard air lines 😃
Wow it's an incredible sight to see The TGV being towed like that and all the railfans to be there. Wow the scale models I have from Lima to Jouef in HO scale. Way to go TGV from America I love trains. 🇺🇸 GREAT VIDEO.🎥✅👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Quand je vois ça, je suis heureux d'être français, la fierté et la puissance de la France ! On avait le TGV orange, le premier en 1981 en France, Paris-Lyon, le train le plus rapide du monde ! 🇨🇵 La France c'est : le TGV, le Concorde, le luxe, la gastronomie (la meilleure au monde), l'histoire, Louis XIV, l'empereur Napoléon 🇨🇵
Le Concorde est franco-brittanique, l'Historie de France n'a pas plus de valeur que les autres, Louis XIV ? Sérieusement ? et Napoléon, faut arrêter la pignole sur ce dictateur
Sérieusement chauvin. Concorde n'a jamais vraiment été utilisé et s'est volatilisé ; le TGV fonctionne rarement à l'heure sans compter les grèves ;la gastronomie oui, sans les rappels de produits des différents magasin ;, l'histoire n'a pas été toujours brillante spécialement sous Vichy, ses collaborateurs francais. Ah oui, Napoléon, surtout se souvenir de sa perte avant d'envahir la Russie de nouveau.
To my knowledge, and I'm no expert, high-speed trains wouldn't be able to run on the 480VAC that the locomotives generate, that is if they even generate power for passenger trains, or the typically 500-1500VDC used by light rail, but I don't see overhead wiring on this branch. Most high-speed rail uses around 15000VAC traction current on an overhead catenary. Trolleys and trams can be powered by portable generators, so they can run in areas without overhead wires, or third rail, but in my opinion, even if it were possible to generate the necessary power, it would be too dangerous, and I don't know if these trains were designed so that the lights could be powered separately from the rest of the train's electrical system. But, I do agree, that it would have looked great with the lights on.
the tracks are built into the road.It is a link between the train station and the exhibition center, where international engineering and other exhibitions take place. This connection is over 4 km long and is close to normal tram transport... crosses it in two places at the crossroads. Steam locomotives and old trains also run there for the exhibition.It is amazing when a steam train runs through the city center. It is a lot of video at youtube.vriting at youtube - VLAK NA VYSTAVISTE or vlecka na vystaviste ..and you weill see a lot of amazing video.

6:22 bro dude just wanted to do a selfie and the other guy just ruined it like there weren’t no room left to take his shot 🤣 on a real note, when I think about something French didn’t mess up, it’s TGV. best way to travel long distance trips in my opinion.

In a sense yes the turn it was taking was tighter then minimum curve recommended for the wheel flanges which keep cars of the train on rails they were rubbing outer rail which was the groan an popping noise. Any tighter they would just went up over rail poped off

A TGV. On tram tracks. Towed by a diesel loco. How cool is that!

The biggest thing the tracks have ever seen. As you can also hear 😂
That creaking and cracking is probably caused by the deeper wheel flange of that heavy train coming into contact with light rail grove.
But it only occurs at the front and rear with the heavy locomotives. Perhaps the railbed?

They could have powered it up to have the lights on, even if unable to use its own traction system. It would have looked grand!
To my knowledge, and I'm no expert, high-speed trains wouldn't be able to run on the 480VAC that the locomotives generate, that is if they even generate power for passenger trains, or the typically 500-1500VDC used by light rail, but I don't see overhead wiring on this branch. Most high-speed rail uses around 15000VAC traction current on an overhead catenary. Trolleys and trams can be powered by portable generators, so they can run in areas without overhead wires, or third rail, but in my opinion, even if it were possible to generate the necessary power, it would be too dangerous, and I don't know if these trains were designed so that the lights could be powered separately from the rest of the train's electrical system. But, I do agree, that it would have looked great with the lights on.
The 16 consist is the one of the 1981 record (380 kmh).

The peapole in the tgv want to get some flowers...:D
Absolutely healthy for the tram rails.

Was it for an exposition ?
Yea high speed train convention in Prague only way to get the visiting locomotives to the location this route so.
@@Ravenheartless322 thanks!
6:22 bro dude just wanted to do a selfie and the other guy just ruined it like there weren’t no room left to take his shot 🤣 on a real note, when I think about something French didn’t mess up, it’s TGV. best way to travel long distance trips in my opinion.
Awesome! But that sounds like expensive repairs to the tramway tracks
Inception 2? 😀
Scary sounds. Hope tram tracks got some maintenance after that
just passing the info on from previous posts - these are train tracks that connect to the exhibition hall - so no not tram track but heavy duty train tracks :)
Are we just going to ignore the man with a Sans shirt.
When it’s moving it almost sounded like it’s gonna derail
In a sense yes the turn it was taking was tighter then minimum curve recommended for the wheel flanges which keep cars of the train on rails they were rubbing outer rail which was the groan an popping noise. Any tighter they would just went up over rail poped off
C'était notre patrimoine Français qui est parti.
Juste le temps d'une exposition. La rame 16 est revenue en France depuis.
wow
Mr. Incredible: Rail is Rail !!

А что TGV делал в Брно да ещё на трамвайных путях, каким ветром его туда занесло?🤔 Глазам своим не верю! 😮
