- Hey! You ready for the ride of your life? You'll climb on board the first, the fastest, and the most luxurious trains out there. Along the way, you'll find out why trains can't go uphill and how some go without wheels! But are you sure you’re ready? We’ll board a couple of ghost trains!
Empty trains travel around the UK all the time. They pass through stations that have long been abandoned. So, why not close them? Well, you're about to find out. By the way, do you know anything about a train, which wasn't destined to reach its destination? The most famous ghost train ever! According to rumors, this train didn't just vanish - it passed through time and space...

SUMMARY:
- Horses and people were used instead of an engine. Later, they started connecting trolleys with each other for greater efficiency.
- The first steam engine train. Thick sooty smoke pours from it. You ride at a measly speed of about 30 mph.
- You transfer to a comfortable modern train, and it’s one of the fastest types in existence - Maglev.
- You're sitting on a soft chair as the train travels so quietly and smoothly that you wouldn’t even know you’re currently moving about 268 mph.
- We’ve arrived in Edinburgh. You go to a special station to catch an equally special train. In the restaurant, you'll be served local dishes of the region you’re currently passing through.
- We’re in England, at the railway station in the small town of Snaith. There are no ticket machines, no ticket offices, not even taxi parking.
- Tracks and train wheels are steel. There's very little friction between these smooth steel parts. It's less than between your car’s rubber tire and the road, in fact!
- As soon as the train rises uphill, its weight distribution changes, the frictional force weakens, and the wheels begin to spin in place. It can go up an elevation of only 2°.
- You, along with 250,000 other daily commuters, enter the Stockholm Central Station. And this station is extraordinary: it recycles all those people’s body heat!
- Japan. You arrive at the station with pinpoint accuracy. Seriously, the average delay time is under a minute for the entire year!]-
- Cambodia. If you love adventure, then you'll appreciate a ride on the Norry bamboo train. People gather wide bamboo slabs and lay them on a square frame with wheels.

Omg, bright side highlighted my comment
Thank you so much
Thanks from India
Thanks! Love from America!

Thank you
There are trains that go 'uphill' and have a very difficult time doing so - I have been on them!
Sri Lanka and India. The driver had such a job, it was raining and the train slowed down and started sliding and going backwards for a few seconds! Scary, train was loaded with people as usual.
Bright Side: Trains can't go uphill
Polar Express: HOLD MY HOT COCOA
I am not
Simply amazing
Darjeeling Himalayan Railways: Hold My Tea.
L0L
Gets Scott's man : hi :/
Plus, those ghost trains aren't bothering anyone 😂😂😂😂
You missed the tunnel of love!The route will be covered around with a scenery of beautiful trees!🤗
4:32 Answer to the Real Question.
There was one more train in hill station in India darjeeling...in ghoom station.....BTW lot of love from india
Bright Side and James May: Trains can't go uphill
Gordon:
*Hold my express*
TrainBoy227 YT XD
Finally someone said something about my country!
Uhh trains can go up hill
You can take a train UP mt. Washington
I've heard some trains go uphill, like up a grade or climbing up before heading down a grade,
They can manage light short grades with light loads on the consist.
Y'all missed the Jet Trains of CN/VIA/Amtrak
Bright side: Trains Cannot Go Uphill.
Polar Express: Mike with Sulleys face
i'm from Ottawa.
We just had a new light rail train system incorporated in the city. Forget about going uphill, our trains have trouble going horizontal !!!
Nariz del Diablo, Ecuador. That's a place where trains go uphill
And no gears
I've heard of Devil's Nose before
When I was really young and I didn't even know something called maglev exists, I thought what if we use magnet inside of a train and do it like ++ so the train hovers and moves forward. That trash idea is related to maglevs tho. I'm glad
Sheldon cooper would love this one 😋
@@Mike-wt7jq 😂Yeah
The narration was spot on, the graphics were normal, but the animations were not your normal standard quality. :(
I really do not need to be looking at this video for me to know why it can’t go uphill
Also everyone, please stay safe around railroads. You have no idea how many people fail to recognize basic railroad safety procedures, and to railfans like me, it’s so frustrating since some people tend to do the wrong things around railroad property.
United States and we LOVE all trains!
I bet you do.. lol
hello, i wanna request want you create a video about a corona virus? i want to know deeper about that. thanku
I'm from Edinburgh and it is pronounced "edinbruh" and trains are no where near like that and never have been for a good few decades and the train is really famous and called the flying scotsman !!!
4:58 THEY LIED TO US IN THE TRAIN SHOW
Shanghai, China 1:20 to Scotland, United Kingdom 2:00 was about a 7,000 Mile Drive.
Alternative title: a completion of great train topics
Aww?! :( What about Gordon’s hill from Thomas and Friends? :( XD
Apparently, the engines are extremely strong and heavy if they are able to climb up Gordon's Hill.
I would assume you're just having fun--since "Thomas" is nothing but a fictional animated character in a children's television show.
@@jb6712 Your assumption was correct.
Joyce Blodgett Of course! ;) :)
Trains are able to go up hills more than 2 degreees, but they do need momentum and it is hard
Thomas the Tank engine wants to know your location.
I learn things ever day on here love the video
It's bright side broi
Go for it.....🤙🤙
There are some very fast trains that have traction that can go uphill, at about 400 miles per hour
@brightside one question ...Certainly the maglev trains run on electromagnets, but what would happen if due to some failure the electric supply is cut-off ?
I guess it just skids and collapses, making sparks
That whistle was Thomas's railway series whistle
When I first watched your video about the Zanetti Ghost Train, It gave me a lot of nightmares and my fear of the dark go 📈
I def dont fear u if I did I would be right where u are ... hiding
You mostlryl explained op about trains
no one:
That kid: fIRsT yAy!
Well actually, you said "no one" and That kid is Someone therefore it is not actually no one because there is someone.
Bet someone is gonna attack me after this...
The fun fact here is:
*train can go uphill
but a roller coster can go upside down
rollercoasters have trains
trains have rollercoasters
This is the first time I am watching your video with headphones and your intro music is Fantastic 😍 I so enjoyed listening to it again and again. 😍
Love the train videos, keep them rolling
oh yeah! The Zanetti! Ghost train! Ever since i saw your video about it, I've been a bit obsessed with that train and thinking of if and when we may see it again.
Me too! We should all form a club regarding the research on the trains myth
IM UR BIG FAN IM WATCHING U FOR YEArs
I been BRIGHT SIDE fans since summer of 2018
Ive been BRIGHT SIDE fans since October 2017
Yay! I was thousandth like!
Riding on a train in Scotland for a week? Going in circles.
The Bright Side team should definitely visit India
Depends on the design!
Trains can ge made that go up hills incline railways are used in some places.
*cough*saluda*cough*grade*cough*
N&W 475 productions my thoughts exactly
In France usual maximum gradiant is 2% for plain lines, 3% for mountain lines and 4% for high speed lines.
Of course it's much more for cog lines like there are many in Switzerland.
I would love to see the author's face.
me too
ME TO
I do. I love them a lot we have the great western railway near by an mainline
I'm pretty sure we have an uphill train in my city.
Hey wt about the train which runs on ocean (India)
Bright side: Trains can't go uphill
Gordon: Am I joke to you?
I love this channel He’s such a great narrator and make such great videos
Today's fact: The Netherlands is so safe, it imports criminals to fill jails.
Very old fact
Muslims you are talking about
You're in burnt fen, UK, at a station called Shippea Hill. However, you can not only see any hills for miles, but you can't see any civilisation here either, only three farmhouses. This was once the least used station in Great Britain.
I missed the notification because I was at school
Video:trains can’t go up hill.
Me:lies I’ve been on a train that did exactly that.
Same
7:23 Thanks for talking about Cambodia.
I love bright side
Exactly as I figured. Trains have no grip to fight upwards gravity, they only roll.
Love it thanks for sharing.
2:23 well it's English pronouncation not Scottish because it's hard bruh
Its because trains wheels dont have very much friction on the rails, and because of how much weight they have behind pulling them down when going up a gradient, even a minor gradient 0.5 for example can have huge effects on locomotives. Also steam locomotives cannot go up gradients too high or the water will go over the crown sheet. Also the Zanneti story has been retold on many famous channels, but no evidence to back it up, I cannot find any sources of locomotives, carriages or entities called Zanetti.
im from america
also talk about the hyperloop
Well Done! This was a great video, little bit click baity even though u did answer the question at the end, I did thoughly enjoy the way you presented in-short the entire history of rail travel and transportation
There was trains that had slanted boilers so they could go uphill and they had traction wheels so they could go uphill and extra wheels in the middle with spikey rails and ropes so they could go uphill
I’m from Canada. And I like the trains here
Where I am from, a helix (loop) was constructed around a pond to draw out the elevation change distance. The Trinity Loop.
Wanna know why? Because Gordon always got stuck on it
Actually! That's very interesting topic. In India every train requires 3 banker engines if it's going uphill(we call it Ghats)... 😉😉😉😉❤❤💞💞💞
Why Yes, they can. Many Locomotives have Sand Compartments that provide sand as Traction for The Train.
Exactly! Sandboxes, sand domes, and sanders (workers who sand the rails, usually also the driver or fireman) are an excellent solution!
I want to ask. Why is the sky during the day light blue when in dark outer space, then why white clouds have no rain potential than gray clouds or black clouds. Thanks
You could easily just go onto any browser and look up that information.
The atmosphere and the sun make the blue sky somehow, and when there is no sun, there is no blue sky.
Gray clouds have more rain because they store more water in them, making them more opaque
hi we have train that go uphill in my country malaysia which is in penang it climb bukit bendera (bedera hill) you should try it
Why can’t trains go uphill?
Me: Because they’re scared of heights!
What about the Tirano Viaduct in Italy near the Swiss Border train go up it is a spiral track. The Bernina Express from Chur, St Gallen, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy It climbs to 2000 ft
Hi BRIGHT SIDE
I want to tell you about a channel that copy your videos and change the voice to Indonesia language
The name of the channel is SISI TERANG...
Just like russia
In NYC the 7 trains goes uphill
Yay I saw this vid before a hour
Why trains can't go uphill? I believe it's called traction. Trains have a box filled with sand. The sand is sprayed in front of the wheels to give it traction for climbing hills. I left St. Paul yard going east and they forgot to load the sand. We ended up taking only half the cars up the hill and going back for the other half. This was a ferry slow and costly trip until we were sent extra engine loaded with sand to climb hills. That is why I know that sand is a very important part of climbing hills.
I'm sure Thomas can do it
I loved this video! Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
>Trains can’t go uphill
*laughs in Salude grade, horseshoe curve, Cajon pass, Marias pass, Yosemite lumber company slope, Allegheny portage railroad, Donner pass, Sherman hill, the hills in polar express, and Madison incline*
Mexico has a train called, chepe express. It drives through copper canyon. Copper canyon is as big as Grand Canyon.
💙 this video
Nicely explained.
They can go uphill, but they need assistance from helper units
Here is a question you can do a video on
When you have a birth certificate or something similar why does it always have your name backwards on it?
To make filing documents"easier, among other reasons.
Filing by first names would be utter chaos. Try to find someone by using their first name, such as "Mary;" your chances of finding the one you want would be so miniscule, it'd be nearly impossible. But if you look by "JONES, Mary," then you can find the one you want very quickly, using a couple of additional identifiers to make sure it's the person you want, if necessary.
I like the Train 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃
The most amazing💕😍 means of transportation inspired by Snake 🐍 😂
Time has its own beauty
Bright Side: Trains can’t go uphill.
Lego Trains: *_No._*
Edinburgh- Ed en bru
The first train could only go 6 miles per hour. The Hogwarts Express is also in Britain not Scotland
Bright side: Trains can’t go uphills
Snowden mountain railway in wales: hold my tea
Trains can go up hill
Some of the steepest standard railroads in the U.S is the Cass scenic railroad in Cass west Virginia which has an average grade of 5-6% (that means 5-6ft in up in elevation for every 100 ft traveled forward) but can reach grades of 10% at some parts, they use special geared locomotives called she's, climaxes, and Hieslers that have better traction and pulling power than a standard steam locomotive.
The geared railways are called cog railways they use a gear and cog in the middle of the track to pull the locomotive and cars up the hill. They can tackle steeper grades with the steepest railway running on a max grade of 48%.
Then how on India train travel uphill??
Example 'New jalpaiguri to Darjeeling toy train' 'Shibalik expres kalka to shimla'
When I drive a car in Edinburgh at forza horizon 4 I always try to stop the train but it always pushes me away
I’m surprised if Stockholm train station doesn’t need heating
4:30 here you go bud. Thank me later
I've been in the combodia bambo bambo rail
