@@TrainTRAMLover37_yt oh right that is a shame and yes it is quite a drive to foxton near cambridge as me and mum and tony lives in comberton it only about 1 hours to get there by car.
@@TrainTRAMLover37_yt You're welcome. While not a special interest of mine as such, I always loved railways and trains, of which we also have a lot in Denmark. And ferries, for that matter; luckily we're an island nation. An interesting combo was until the late 1990s when trains still boarded ferries for trips across the straits. As a side note I still play "Railroad Tycoon II" on my computer, a nice fun game though from 1998. The CD installs on any modern Windows system and works immediately without use of Dos-boc or anything else. CD is only needed for the installation itself. This upload of yours happened to hit the algoritm and be suggested to me. Unusual but nice for a small channel. For its short size and unusual topic I grapped the chance and was pleased to watch it. And it led to a new suggestion of a similarly sized channel's upload with the same topic. I'll fine it in my history...
@@TrainTRAMLover37_yt Yes, in the peninsula of Jutland we have land border to Germany. But Denmark consists also of many islands small and we have ferries among many of those. But now we have bridges in more and more places incl. between the larger islands. We have a 20 km bridge over the widest strait "Storebaelt". Before we had ferries carrying trains as well. We still have ferries over larger stretches, but none that carry trains.
@@TrainTRAMLover37_yt We had train ferries from Nyborg (Funen island) to Korsør (Sealand island). Since 1996 we have the Storebaelt car and train bridge, 20 kms. I believe we 50 years ago had train ferries from Aarhus (Jutland) to Kalundborg (Sealand island). We still have a ferry, but trains take the bridge. Trains from Copenhagen (Sealand) to Malmö and onwards to Stockholm (both Sweden) would take a train ferry, now we have the 20 km Öresund Bridge. Trains from Copenhagen to Hamburg in Germany took the Rødby-Puttgarten train ferry across the southern Baltic Sea. We still have a car ferry (undersea tunnel will be ready in 2029, also for trains I believe), now trains to Hamburg go via the Storebaelt Bridge to Funen and Jutland, then down to Hamburg. So train ferries are a thing from the past now, but has been part of our seafaring life for 150 years. 😊
Man, I love that! As someone in America, I kinna wish our crossings where the same. The Hi-Lo chimes sound very nice! How loud are those crossing bells? In America, they are not very loud... (as I have stood RIGHT next to one when it rang, you can see on my channel.)
@@TrainTRAMLover37_yt Thank you! Would you say THAT one was... Mayyyyyyybe... a smoke alarm noise level? Lower? Higher? Bc when i see vids of those, those things seem LOOOUUUUUUUUD

It depends on the crossing, because some are slightly louder than others, but I don't really know what it would be in decibels
