I CANT ESCAPE GERMANY
Deutschland ist sehr real und man kann ihm nicht entkommen
Surprisingly despite living just up north of Darmstadt in Frankfurt for (almost) my entire life, and even knowing about the Steam-Powered Trams there, I only rode the regular trams in Darmstadt just this year.
I absolutely feel on that. I live close to a Feldbahn museum here but haven't been in the several years I've been here now!
Same in Nordhausen. The HSB and Tram share some tracks there
The Harzbahn region is on my list for a visit!
@@TFTSB Can recommend and on all Lines except the one to the Brocken the Deutschland ticket is even valid. i also recommend taking a visit to the rübeland bahn its the only line in germany using 25kv 50hz Electricity. Sadly on the rübelandbahn there is no passenger travel except some steam trains sometimes. But the Harz is always worht a visit for rail lovers. and if you want to see alot of old Formsignals i recommend visiting the Mühlenbahn Braunschweig-Wieren. its still running with Mechanic Signal Systems like 100years ago.
Omg I've just moved here for over a year and have never known about this🤯
I think it's a really cool place!
I will not comment about broad gauge again I will not comment about broad gauge again
Maybe I'll do a video on Leipzig some time - apparently their trams run on broad gauge!
I have never been to Philadelphia
I think Frankfurt's U Bahn runs on broad gauge.
@@seafighter4False-ish, Frankfurt is using 1435mm standard gauge but the interurban section to Oberursel and Bad Homburg which the U2 and U3 operate as a whole, and the U9 on parts of it, used to have a slightly wider gauge to prevent wear on the wheels.
While I can not confirm it, I'm rather confident that over the years with track replacement and just more modern vehices the gauge should all be adjusted to be standard gauge by now.

It's always special to see Feuriger Elias, i was on it as a kid and was amazing! I love to see that many people out there still enjoy it :DD
Also, it's really not a problem that the Kongresszenturm stop isn't served on weekends, as there's hardly anything relevant around it anyway, theres no Uni and the next stop is just 150m away ^^
All lines that don't run on weekends are overlapping on weekdays so that every station (except Kongresszentrum :D) always has service to the city center. E.g. line 9 and 5 both run to Böllenfalltor and they add up to a 10 min frequency (20+20).
On Saturdays, line 5 doesn't run, but line 9 switches to a 10 min frequency on its own. All that is lost are some direct interconnections between districts that are easily replaced by one change at the city center with hardly any time loss.
And on Sundays, line 9 runs every 15 minutes, as there is no commuter traffic :)
That makes a lot of sense! Thank you tons for that local perspective :)
Refilling the coal bunkers with buckets was a thing on the fullsize railway at certain times and places, I'm told... like, most places had labour-saving infrastructure but an unlucky/inexpert loco crew could find themselves called short somewhere inconvenient and refilling the bunkers by hand
I'm somehow imagining a Big Boy being refilled with buckets lol
@@TFTSB yeah it was old Scottish steam locos in the book I read ("Legends of the Glasgow & South Western Railway in LMS days" by DL Smith - surprisingly entertaining)
I've lived in Darmstadt for ten years now. Never managed to even see the Feuriger Elias. Someday I have to plan for it and jump onboard :D
As a sidenote: the stop Kongresszentrum is regularily only used by the airliner bus, but this one stops across the street as it only goes in the other direction. The stop for the Feurige Elias is only used when trams have to turn around early. For example because of constructions (which we have a lot in the last few years) or accidents further down the line.
this was so interesting! thanks for sharing this experience
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never heard the answer for if it went chug-a chug-a or choochoo 😔 other than that this is probably the 1st steam train that I’ve ever heard of that’s actually in revenue service! Great that you covered this
I talked about the whistle a little! It does also chugga chugga, can confirm
Lovely feel good video!
Thank you so much!
The stop Darmstadt Kongresseszentrum does not get any regular use. But the stop schloß that is right beside it has active tram lines
"and does it in fact go chugga chugga and or choo choo 🤨"
ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS HERE
I GOTTA BE THOROUGH
great vid btw!!
Thank you so much!
I like how every single city in Hessen has better trains than Wiesbaden, the city i live in
Darmstadt also has the best district: Darmstadt Wixhausen
I love Colontown-Jerkinville
Oh yes, the reverse tramtrain! With Steam!!!
I Love how you pronunced Griesheim in a very hessian way
I tried my best!
The molly is also partially in town, its got its own track thi
