ÖBB Vectron high power! Starting a train uphill

The uphill climb above Rijeka, Croatia often hits grades of 26‰ (26m every 1000m) or even higher. You can hear the traction motors of this locomotive at max power as it is accelerating a loaded train uphill.

The echo from the horn at the beginning is awesome.

[@Sanginius23]

6400 kW (8400 hp) of pure electric power. awsome

[@uncinarynin]

I love to feel and hear how power unfolds.

[@1061001]

I stopped there once by car, wonderful scenery :)

[@dat581]

26 in 1000 so 1 in 38. That's pretty steep and that was an impressive no slip start.

[@Guirizar]

amazing sound

[@ZugFanTP]

Amazing. Love the Sound

[@jamesburnside3023]

[@viszke2412]

[@SimonTog]

Great Vectron catch :)

[@mejesplit5137]

Hrvatska jedina zemlja na svitu di željeznica stane na pružnom prijelazu sa spuštenim rampama, i pogleda da nije neki krkan ih zaobišao, stane i trubi da propusti krkana koji se isto odlučio u zadnji tren. Tek onda kreće iz mista uzbrdo sa punim cisternama, na pruzi sa jednim od najvećih nagiba u europi.
MALA ZEMLJA ZA OGROMNA ČUDA !!!

[@CroRailfan]

Moram te razočarati, ali Hrvatska nije jedina zemlja u kojoj se to događa. Svjedočio sam tome u Austriji, Nizozemskoj, Češkoj i Slovačkoj, a događa se u još država. Ljudi za svašta misle da toga "ima samo kod nas", ali to misle samo zato jer nisu bili nigdje drugdje.

[@nerkonator]

Moram reči da toga ima i u bosni niste jedini.

[@thetrainhunter]

Super video!

[@marklowe8087]

The traction control must be very sophisticated,has to be AC

[@irgendwieanders2121]

Nice

[@datupersada2479]

Awesome and its so sad to see it already vandalized a little

[@PROTSW4]

Agree

[@Martin_Trainspotter]

Kako je odjekao zvuk trube! 😊

[@poltrum392]

Powerrrrrrrrr !!

[@josedelmontealmansa6259]

Wuauuuu MAX power

[@filip-yj5yp]

I hate people who spray paint locomotives

[@TeimonKauppa739]

Or spray paint anything in general

[@BigTom-ki1lx]

ist ja auch nicht schwer bei einem Wagenzuggewicht von ca. 310t 14 leere Kesselwagen a 22t

[@nohabpapa]

👍

[@nerkonator]

Vučni motori na osovinama urlaju uzbrdo.

[@zlayozg]

Mislim da je ovo prazno, teško da je puno..

[@vladovlado9706]

Da je ovo puno vozna lokomotiva sa zapregom i potiskivalicom na kraju ne bi mogli ubrzati na tom djelu pruge🤷

[@androtrucker]

@@vladovlado9706 ima 8600 konjskih snaga i bez problema je ubrzala...

[@benjibatch]

Why was it stopped there in the first place?

[@CroRailfan]

The railway crossing's control system was throwing some errors so the trains had to stop-and-go in front of it until the problem was resolved.

[@bencns]

As an North American electric freight trains are weird to me

[@WaivexJCI]

You Americans don’t even have any good trains except the acela

[@GerHUN]

Where is it exactly?

[@themazeLE]

Not far from Rijeka: goo.gl/maps/dHDScqPS6KLQWZxS8

[@CroRailfan]

It's a crossing between stations Meja and Škrljevo.

[@GerHUN]

@@CroRailfan Can sy go to this place by car?

[@CroRailfan]

@@GerHUN Yes, easily. My car was parked right behind me in this video.

[@GerHUN]

@@CroRailfan and which hours are ideal for spotting here?

[@NoBody-ht1oh]

Empty train
