Ahh.. my other favourite country in Europe. Beautiful countryside, and interesting railroad for freight. It looks like the poles for the electricity are bent, but also think that it may be because of the setting on your lens?? Wide angle perhaps? Just looked funny to me. Thank you for all that you do to get these videos up for all of us to enjoy. Can't wait for the next one now. 😊😊😊👌👌👌
Dana Chappell They are bent to show that its voltage is 25.000 AC instead of the normal voltage used in The Netherlands of 1800 DC (rectangular portals/straight poles). When you leave Rotterdam Harbor (on land of course) there is a voltage passage (don’t know the English word but in Dutch it is stroomsluis of spanningssluis, literally translated as electricity lock or voltage lock), where you can see the change from rectangular portals/straight poles to bent poles.
@@RealConstructor Here in Canada, we don't have electric powered trains, except a few trams in the massively huge cities. Either we are way behind on technology, or just figure where Canada is so huge, that it wouldn't be feasible. Thank you for helping make this easier to understand.
Dana Chappell Almost all of our train lines are electrified, it’s much cleaner than diesel trains. And our countries train tracks are highly used, it’s one of the busiest in the world. There are distances in our country where there are four tracks on main lines, one for fast intercity trains (only stops at major city stations) and one for sprinter trains (that stop at every station) in both directions. And there are so many trains that there are no timetables. We call it timetableless trains, every 5 or 6 min there is a train so you don’t need to check a timetable.
Non-obnoxious background music, indicating road signage and speed limits and some actual background information and commentary -- I expected far less of this video when I found it. Goed gedaan!
A large share of trees in the Netherlands are planted, there is much more forest area today than in the 1960s, this is particularly apparent when you compare older photos, the landscape used to be pretty empty, with fields to the horizon. It isn't as bad as Germany or Belgium though, where there is almost no view from motorways anymore due to lines of trees planted alongside it.
Rijkswaterstaat (executive service of the ministry of infrastructure) plant a lot of poplars, because they grow real fast. There are other trees but you hardly see them, because they are still too small. After they grown to height, the poplars will be cut down. Poplars use a lot of moist from the soil because of their fast rate of growth, so they need to be cut down to give the other trees the nourishment they need. Trees are also useful to limit sidewinds on the roads especially for lorries. So close to the sea and with a flat landscape, strong winds are (almost) always present.
Best music choice so far
I enjoyed watching road trip thanks to you.
Wow. Awesome video quality.
Ya que estamos encerrados y no podemos viajar pues viajamos por aquí ,me gusta la carretera y nunca estuve en Holanda ,jaja vemos el paisaje👍👍🤓🤓🤓
Me encanta ir en el coche con la música puesta pero con ritmos ir. Viendo el paisaje

You mean the poles for the overhead lines of the trains? It's not the lens, they really are curved like that :)

Whow, long time ago when I drove there frequently - I remember the times when Deil was a crossroad with trafficlights.... 😂😎
can you please make a video of the new E39 from Kristiansand to Mandal when it opens in a few years??
So witch english they use
Me like the tour very.
why does exit 33 such a long lane before you''re allowed to merge?
#Deil
Left lane hogging is something you really need to stop doing..
Elly weird music lol
Lots of planted trees , but sadly they all seem to be the same species. Not much has the semblance of "natural" in this landscape.
