Hi Vince, Elevated railway in my suburb opened in 2022 and it, like quite a few examples, opened up previously unavailable views of Melbourne Australia's natural beauty. Also, when not using the rail network, it has transformed traffic flow and opened up recreational space, so the benefits flow to everyone.
Hele mooie rit! In antwoord op uw vraag, nee, ik zou niet graag een verhoogde spoorlijn door mijn stad willen. Maar een station in de stad zelf zou wel mooi zijn. Ik woon in Albany, NY, met het op-acht-na drukste Amtrak station van Amerika (1670 passagiers per dag). Dit is de route van de 20th Century Limited trein van de New York Central, maar na de jaren vijftig moest iedereen in de auto en is ons station verhuisd naar Rensselaer, aan de andere kant van de Hudson rivier. Ik zou graag weer een station hier in de stad willen zien.
The elevated track through Delft always felt a little unsafe, with the curves and such and was such a bottleneck for the rail traffic. It was quaint, but I am so pleased that they now have a modern station and I am sure that the residents next to the track are delighted. The tracks outside of my window are elevated, but on a proper embankment, in fact you just passed me on your approach to HS. I am on the forst floor and at the same elevation as the tracks.
The dark signal shows a big difference between British and Dutch practice. British signals, even automatic ones, are "lamp proved" so that the previous signal in sequence will revert to Danger if the commanded aspect cannot be displayed. Some installations can also cause the signal to show a more-restrictive aspect, if it is unable to show the correct aspect, minimising disruption. A dark signal must be treated as displaying the most restrictive aspect it is ordinarily capable of, which is usually Danger, and permission must be obtained on the spot to pass it (either directly over the radio or telephone, or from a stationed handsignalman).
In regards to 'getting a new railway close to the home' A railway close to the house would really depend on the amount of traffic .. 10 trains a day is far less disturbing than 200+ trains a day and night traffic .. rail would need to be 'special' so that it has less gaps and thus less noise. Also something to reduce vibrations. The rail operator should, together with the municipality, offer free noise isolation to the houses too. But that all really depends on how close it will be. Then there's the question of freight trains and dangerous cargo.
Elevated rail is a good idea if you're space constrained otherwise i would rather see either tunnel or better yet sunken rail. When it comes to Railfaning sunken rail also lets you take overhead photos/videos.
Elevated rail is a lot cheaper than tunneling tough. Personally, i think sunken rail is the best of both worlds, much less disturbing for the people living there, yet still far far cheaper than tunneling. Especially in the netherlands where the ground is quite swampy. (If you sink the rail, you remove a lot of weight off the ground below it, meaning you can get away with far less foundations).
Another save and sound ride. Thx for sharing 👍
Alweer een mooie rit. Dank je.
Lovely ride. Thanks

Hi Cookie (my name for you). We always enjoy seeing your country & the rides you take us on. Thank you for our trips!🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Weer een hele mooie video meester.
Very interesting about Delft station. Thanks

mooie rit, hele intressante geschiedenis les erg leuk. en over de "elevated railway", hier in Zoetermeer heb je ze al een tijdje
;)

Mooi hoe we de DDZ kunnen volgen vanaf 18:17, en daarna op 25:03 😎👍🏻
yay my city!

I think if you can promise a walking distance rail station to residents, pitching a raised rail installation shouldn't face too much resistance.
