Also i feel very sorry for the Driver. Just imagine seeing someone who you are very likely about to kill and you can't do anything about it.

      1st: I'm pretty sure a plain can't move
      2nd: A normal one could but it would cost too much to rent out an entire passenger plane for this. A smaller private jet plane is quite a bit cheaper due in part to it's smaller size. And no a Propeller plane couldn't catch up to that speed either. Most standard propeller planes reach their max speed around 250-350km/h. A type called a Turboprop (Turbo propeller) would be able to catch up to the train but only just about.

Also, the US of all countries would REALLY benefit from an interstate 300km/h highspeed rail network, not for travelling from New York to LA, but for the travelling between the city pairs that are too short to fly, and too far to drive.

      I’m European and gotta say that Railways are AMAZING. They’re a very comfortable and safe way to travel around EU. If you ever visit, I strongly recommend it. Sometimes they’re even faster than taking the Airplane, because yo don’t have to worry about departure, booking tickets etc. you just get in the train you want and you buy a ticket from one of full automatic ticket machines (or get one on app in your phone) trains usually leave every 15-30 minutes in all directions so there’s no need worry about being late.

      Well, here in the United States, the oil companies and airlines have a tight grip on politics, primarily the right-wing Republican Party. The oil companies want to keep the money flowing, and the airlines want to keep their monopoly on long-distance overland transportation. That, and the Republicans view passenger rail as “communist” because it strips away the so-called “freedom” afforded by privately-owned cars.
      Unless the left-wing Democratic Party gets a super-majority, this sad state of affairs will never end.

Makes sense given that unlike cars trains can't decide to take it on themselves to treat adjacent lines as lanes of the same way they need a new path to be built to connect them so every bit of track is a way unto itself.

    I know some spots around Leipzig, Germany where you can see the ICE passing at high speed. One of them is Leipzig/Halle Airport. There are 4 tracks at that station - 2 with platforms and 2 between them for high speed passing. The ICE from Munich to Hamburg is passing this station. When you go with the IC to Hannover, sometimes it passes and sometimes it stops there. (every 2 hours it changes because one of them is going to Köln/Cologne and one is going to Emden

    0:57-1:01 I actually rode on that one several times on one trip to Italy about seven years ago. If you slow it down and pause it at the right time, the front says Italo. I remember that name well because of how many times I went on it, and it was different coach every time, sometimes we were in Smart class, other times we were in Club, and at least once, we rode on Prima.
    To give you an idea, Smart is an economy class, Prima comes with a small snack served to you, and Club has movie screens at your seat. Basically what ever you would find on a plane, Italo has it.

      @@barrydheil I live in Huntingdon a bit further north on the same line. The remaining 225s are back in their original Intercity swallow livery from the early '90s, they look very good. Unfortunately I only really became interested in trains as the 125s went, and then the 365s a couple of years ago, so never really appreciated them. I remember what I have worked out were first capital connect 317s, and to me they were my picture of the generic modern "brick" train. They have a good sound at speed. And the 365s make cool noises speeding up, which I never appreciated even though I would have in theory seen them the most growing up.
      As a consequence of my recent interest, I don't know anything about canadian railways, other than that UAC turbotrain from the '70s, so I will look those up. I guess I took the speed of our trains for granted as they are slower than the fast ones in europe, but really they are quite fast, especially on the east coast mainline.

      ​@@jasmienkomugi9026 the railjet in the scene is just two indivdual train sets linked together (each has a loco at one end and a cab car at the other, nothing fancy there). But since they are linked you have the situation that you always have one of the two locos sandwiched in the middle and the second loco is either at the back or the front. So basically its emulating EMU as the traction engines are "distributed" along the length of the train and not just at the front or the back, but also in the middle

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp 4 года назад +14

      @@chrisbode2155 I think history is a big part of it. We had an enormous and world-class network of private passenger rail (much faster and nicer than Amtrak) and saw it evaporate as people just stopped riding. Then Amtrak came along and cut it back to only the essentials, and outside of the NEC almost nobody uses it. So i imagine anybody considering a bill for a couple billion dollars of high-speed rail, will have to be asking, "what if we build this thing and no one uses it?"
      Also, the car ownership rate here is outrageous - even the really poor people have an old Saturn or something. Europeans who come here often talk about how hard it would be to get around without a car, because over there "not having a car" is a thing that happens. They've developed into depending on the trains in the same way we depend on cars. Getting Americans onto a train requires getting them out of their car first. That's not impossible obviously, but it does mean that the airlines already have a short-haul competitor of sorts. Of sorts.
      I'm excited that Virgin Trains have had success though. If private rail can operate profitably in the US again, that will help show that rail as a concept is not completely dead to Americans as long as the route makes sense. If Branson can make money from his deal and Richard Anderson puts Amtrak in the black, then it'll be a lot easier to fund US rail projects in general. California's high-speed money pit isn't helping though...

    • @MrMRK11
      @MrMRK11 4 года назад +3

      @@JETZcorp What you need first is a completely new and only to high-speed passenger trains dedicated railtrack. Build this for example in Texas between the largest cities with stations right at the city center. Then you will see a drastic success because it will be much more easier and faster to travel than by plane or car. Success always comes with shorter travel times at reasonable prices. In Europe, not all high speed trains have been successful from the start. It has grown as the network and connections have grown and more passengers saw an advantage of using it over cars or planes.
      In Germany we have many stations within the ICE network (ICE = Inter City Express, German high speed trains) and consequently many stops. Regardless of that it still is a viable alternative to driving by car although we still have motorways without speed limits. But we also have heavy traffic congestions, so ICE can be the fastest alternative for some distances and it is also the most convenient one. That's why the ICE is such a success in Germany because it proofs to be a good alternative to other modes of transportation.
