I went to school in Baarn along the railway, I use Soestdijk as a station, my parents are buried in Soest along the railway, I live near Soest Zuid, I go shopping in Den Dolder, my mother lay in state in Bilthoven, I went to school in Overvecht along the railway plus I studied in Utrecht using this train. This line is my life.
I was born in Soest-Zuid, went to school in Baarn only by bicycle, but from 18 yo, studying in Utrecht, I used this railway during winter. In the rest of the year (only without rain) I used my bicycle to go to university in Utrecht. We had friends near station Soest at the Middelwijkstraat so we sometimes took the train from Soest-Zuid to Soest which covers 1 kilometer without paying for a ticket. Two minutes of anxiety but never caught by the train conductor.
@panlomito Nice story though. I usually take this line everyday when I'm going to school in Utrecht. (At Utrecht Science Park) Even though its a bit faster if I would go by bus, I like going by both train and tram as it travels comfortable for me. Sometimes when I have to go to Amersfoort I always doubt how I would get there as going by public transport to Amersfoort is not the fastest way for me. (I live nearby station Soestdijk so yeah) And as I'm too lazy to cycle to Amersfooet I mostly take the train towards Baarn and then exchange for the train to Amersfoort or I take the bus/train to Soest-Zuid and then the bus to Amersfoort.
@@SLT2609 Ik had destijds een Peugeot racefiets waarmee ik gemakkelijk 30-40 km afstanden kon maken. Maar wel mooi weer rijden dus met regen met de trein. Overigens woonden wij op de Braamweg in Soest-Zuid. Tegenwoordig woon ik op Curaçao waar ik van mijn pensioen geniet.
High video quality, speedometer, background statistics, this is on the same level as Don Coffey's videos in the UK. Top notch. The moving position on the route is a nice touch 👍
Trains have to run in all weathers, so I think that it doesn't matter if the view is in the rain or in fine weather. What matters is showing an interesting driver's eye view train run. Thank you. 🙂
I am a retired streetcar motorman. Rainy days were my favorite days to work. I just found it to be relaxing, not just for me, but for the passengers too.
Just filmed one, Amsterdam to Arnhem, soon to be posted - if you don't mind the window fogging up along the way for a couple of minutes (new to these filming conditions..).
This has always been my favourite part of the Netherlands railway network - it's a very compact line and away from the big cities. Some great videos again this year, Vincent. Keep up the great work. Vrolijk Kerstfeest!
Hello from a British driver! That was a nice run. :) I have to be honest, I was waiting for the extremely slippery bits and wondering where they were... I guess you have an expectation of better leaf-fall track quality than we do! I mostly drive class 170 DMMUs, which are atrocious on damp rail - most of those stations, I would have been struggling to get more than notch 2 (~25%) power from a stand without wheelspin and more than step 1 brake (~30%) would have been guaranteed wheelslide. Unfortunately it's not possible for me to make an equivalent leaf-fall video as on my company it's been made very clear to us that even having our own camera in the cab is a sacking offence. :( (Any UK cab-view videos posted on RUclips have been taken with the company's agreement, likely by a separate cameraman who's accompanied by a driver's manager and so on. They're not the driver-using-their-own-equipment that we see from mainland Europe. If they haven't then the driver's either no longer working for the company concerned or is in big trouble if they get caught.) Happy New Year, have a great 2024 - and stay safe! :)
Hi, thanks! This SNG has a superb anti lock and anti spin system. Our Virm and Icm also are a disaster to accellerate during these conditions. Happy New Year!
@@CabviewHolland I enjoyed the video. I think that I heard some occasions when the motor increased speed faster than normal for just a moment before settling back to normal acceleration. Were those wheel slip or my over-active imagination? Cheers from Australia.
enjoyed the rainy content a lot, it reflects what the Netherlands can be like and also shows the nice autumn day very well. Those fluctuations in the speed of the driving wheels was really obvious too. For sure a slippery track!
If the rain is not so heavy as to hinder visibility, the only negative is the noisy windshield wipers. Very scenic overall. The texts are informative and add a lot.
This specific line is sometimes an absolute life saver when I need to go to Utrecht/Baarn without my parents. Love it so much, to the point I've basically memorised when a train arrives at the SZ station XD (live really close to the Soest Zuid station myself)
I really like the scenery, especially the Dutch Mountains as portayed in this particular video. I have visited here a few times and tripped over one when I wasn't looking...
Actually, in Soest, to the left of the track, there is a Dutch mountain called the "Engh". That's why the line makes such a bend to drive around it. When I was a student and had to cross it twice a day, it really felt like a "mountain"...
Hi Vincent. The scenery was beautiful in its autumn colours. Rain is OK, but the wipers need to be cleaned so that we don't get the scraping sound. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Xmas and all best wishes for the New Year.
Leuk om dit eens vanuit het standpunt van de machinist te zien. Ben in Bilthoven opgegroeid, maar woon er al jaren niet meer. Ken vooral het stuk tussen Den Dolder en Utrecht, maar niet vaak richting Baarn geweest. Erg mooi, doet bijna niet Nederlands aan zo’n enkelspoor lijn.
Prachtig ritje en goed te horen hoe moeilijk de SLT het heeft met deze omstandigheden, ik wist helemaal niet dat er een spoorlijn liep vanaf net boven den Dolder naar Baarn.
If rain should be a problem, we never got any videos from the Netherlands or the other countries with a similar climate. I love your snippets of 'touristic information'.
We mogen toch best trots zijn op zo'n fantastisch spoor netwerk ondanks dat mensen die er nauwelijks of nooit mee reizen er zo heerlijk over kunnen mekkeren als er iets misgaat (ga ik een keer met de trein en gaat het helemaal mis: meneer of mevrouw ga veel vaker dan merkt u dat dit zeer uitzonderlijk is....)
Hallo, Bedankt voor een fantastische fantastische reis en een prachtig landschap. Ik hoop dat je een geweldige Kerst hebt gehad en dat je GOEDE INGANGEN hebt, maar vooral een Uitstekend Jaar. Rust goed uit of werk veilig voor u.
Het is leuk om trajecten onder optimale condities te zien maar net zo leuk zijn de video's die de seizoenen laten zien. Dat laatste mede ook om de omstandigheden te zien waaronder je moet rijden en wat de effecten kunnen zijn. Fijne feestdagen en het beste voor 2024 gewenst.
13:17 en 13:44 Ik dacht dat het sein richting Utrecht bij Den Dolder(rechtse spoor)het laatste sein was dat vroeger dubbel geel kon tonen, ik had het mis. Wel maf dat Prorail tussen Hilversum en Utrecht nagenoeg alle seinen heeft vervangen en deze laat staan. Nog gekker is dat de nieuwe seinen in de richting van Utrecht voor de splitsing met het spoor naar Baarn de oude kleurindeling hebben(bijna hetzelfde als dit sein met dus groen in het midden). Het Stichtse Lijntje is wel een van de mooiste lijnen die er is in Nederland vooral station Soestdijk is een leuk stationnetje. Mooie video!!
Ik heb een traject als deze niet vaak gezien. En dat de rails glad waren is duidelijk te horen. Het weer is duidelijk Nederlands.😋 Als ik de waarden mag zien van stroomverbruik was U (volgens mij) heel energiezuinig rijden. En knap dat U de vertraging van 2 min. heeft weten terug te brengen tot 1 min. Mooie rit meester. Ik wens U hele fijne kerstdag en een plezier 2024.
Railtrotter ( France) has some way to go to match your quality, clarity of picture and information about the route. Don Coffey in England comes very close and is good on line-side interests worth mentioning as well as the advice to drivers by their trainers on prudent techniques when following the line..Marvellous opportunities for recording when the rail system is so comprehensive with a dense population to make use of it. I regret the loss of long distance trains which took the ferry passengers land at the Hoek van Holland across Europe as far as Moscow.. Now only a suburban tram line it seems.
Surprisingly it isnt. It is "only" the least used NS Station but there are more stations whixh are smaller. However, they are being operated by other companies.
Probably the only reason the station is still open is that it's the only place for trains to cross. During weekdays, there will be train coming from the other direction. And if the trains have to stop and wait for each other anyway, you may as well keep embarking and disembarking passengers.
@AbiGail-ok7fc Yep, exactly. In the weekends and in the evenings the train drives only 1 per hour so then it's not necessary but om regular weekdays then indeed yes. (I might as well have tomorrow to wait one hour on Utrecht Central Station due to annoying school finds it funny to have an exam till 8 pm 😐 and then there are barely any buses too.) Fun fact: Line 70 is the only line which drives through my town on Sundays. 😂 but the good part is that they drive now 2x per hour again since December.
I enjoyed the ride. The autumn colors and Dutch countryside were beautiful. The sprinkles along the way kind of added to the atmosphere. One question. I noticed an occasional chime, in the cab, between stations? Is that some sort of notification to the driver? A great video! ❤😂

Happy Holidays and all the best for 2024 from Canada.
Thanks, you to!
Dit traject heb ik lang niet meer voorbij zien komen, Wel leuk om weer eens te zien! Prachtig die herfst kleuren!
More rainy rides please! Thank you.
I second that!
I agree!!!
No! Sunny!😮
I love riding through the small towns or areas to drop off the people you guys have a gorgeous country thank you for sharing your friend Cindy ❤

Just like me then, the ticking of the raindrops remind me of the days as a kid, in a caravan at vaccation.
beautiful video. the rain and driving conditions are so completely authentic and interesting. Would like more of it!
Just filmed one, Amsterdam to Arnhem, soon to be posted - if you don't mind the window fogging up along the way for a couple of minutes (new to these filming conditions..).

Dit is by far het mooiste stukje spoor van Nederland. Al die herfstkleuren erbij maken het plaatje helemaal af. Prachtige video!
Prachtige rit langs mijn ouderlijk huis in Soest. Naast de overgang voorbij station Soest. De Molenstraat. Dank u wel!
Leuk! Veel muntjes op de rails gelegd vroeger?
Such a beautiful country.
It’s so cool to see the quality of these videos. When I see it on my phone the brightness and colors makes my phone look like the rest of it is dimmed
Thank you for the great video. Such a beautiful country. Since I live in a desert I love to see the rain!
A beautiful trip, a beautiful road, and the trees are delightfu❤
Super nice Video!

So beatiful line! Thank you for posting The right train at the right Time! 👀👀👍👍😁
Very attractive seasonal scenery, thank you.
Still nicer when you bike around in these neighbourhoods and discover hidden gems in abundance of all kinds.
Beautiful video. Otoño, la más bella estación.
Most enjoyable. Thank you. The Autumn colours were beautiful. 😀
Veel extra informatie!😊

Absolutely beautiful. I love the rain.
Hey, my daily commute! Though I'm not sure how to feel about RUclips recommending me this video out of all of them. Somehow they know...
By clicking it you make it worse ;-)
Fr though! It keeps somehow getting back in my recommendation, help. (Maybe that's why this video has so many views xD)
Thanks for the beautiful ride in the rain , the scenery was amazing. 👏👏👍
😊toch mooi dat de portaalmasten er nog staan zowel links als rechts van de diamant kruising,mooi staan laten.😊
A very nice video, beautiful scenery, captions were very helpful and the rain did not spoil the video
25:18 dit station heeft een heel leuk theehuis/lunchroom, in beeld links bij de tafeltjes.
sir may i ask which camera and model you are using?
Nice video. I found it perfectly okay with the rain. Brings some nice colours into the video. Cheers from Germany, Roland
The rain is not a problem at all. It makes it just that more interesting.
The rain was fine! Love these videos! Thank you!
Love the rain!

More rainy rides please...very relaxing.
Heel mooie route
And the rain worked out great for this video

Chime indicate that the conductor is closing the doors. The ATB ttain protection system also uses chimes to indicate speed limit changes.
@@CabviewHolland- that explains the chime I was wondering about. Thanks for your reply.
Is the Soest station hidden behind a fence of low bushes?. bonito recorrido gracias por el video.
Yes, it has no public function as a station anymore.
A bit of rain sometime, that's the Netherlands :)
😊het was hier vandaag ook droog,eindelijk.🌤🌡11c🧐
