      These locos are so powerful, each easily being able to pull 7000 tons of iron, and using 2 just improves acceleration and enables uphill climbing. The US would really benefit from such locos, instead of their ancient diesel trains, slow speeds, and single track, would really help with the current supply challenges.

      I want to agree with this posting. You should do a much better job of labeling this very nice bit of train 🚂 video. Put in some notes and let the viewers know something about the places they are passing by. Let them know when the train passes from Sweden to Norway. Teach us something with some written messages along the journey.

    3:21:40 If you look to the right after Søsterbekk you can see the old Norddal bridge. The tunnel without tracks before the station leads to that. When the Ofoten railway was constructed, the original path was planned where it is today. However, the government demanded that there should be built at least one bridge that they could destroy in case of a war. When the Nazis invaded Norway on April 9 1940, the Norwegian forces used explosives in an attempt to destroy the bridge, causing only minor damage. The Nazis where able to repair it easily. The bridge was in use up until 1988. The two paths join again in the tunnel after the station.

    I stumbled across this youtube video, I recalled being a seaman when I was a young man, I once visited this beautiful port of Navik,
    and I remembered that it was a Liberian registered ship, the name of the ship was "Donau Ore" GWT 260,000 tons ship Loading ore sand in Navik to Chiba, Japan,
    it was snowing heavily in winter, and the ship left the North Sea with a full load.
    The snow-white mountain tops on both sides of the Norwegian fjord channel were calm, and I have not forgotten it to this day.

    Is the old line across Norddalsbrua still connected to the current line in the tunnel?
    I have tried to find the connecting point in various videos, but so far unsuccessful.
    It's the point west of Søsterbekk I am referring to. The eastern point is in plain view.

    Is this a special move with only 18 cars? Seems very short for iron ore trains. Also, what type of ore? Raw or refined, such as taconite?

    • @mrSkandalpolisen
      @mrSkandalpolisen 3 года назад +1

      It is a unusually short train.
      Usually the trains has all 68 maximum allowed cars coupled, axle weight 32,5 ton, 4 axles per car = 8800 ton.
      The cars are rarely loaded to more than 31 ton per axle though.
      The ore type is magnetite or hematite (the iron is very high, around 70%, in the pure ore).

      @@johnparker7874 I'm not a train driver so I don't know but I found this out in a quick google search (don't worry, I like learning stuff this way):
      - circular sign with black number = speed limit
      - black and yellow triangle above a square yellow sign with a black number = a warning of upcoming speed limit (usually 1 km before the speed limit sign).
      But take this with a pinch of salt, I'm not a train driver.

    • @SwedishRailcam
      @SwedishRailcam  3 года назад +2

      18 cars are the normal amount of cars as these locos can't handle much more weight than 4400 tons. Tests with three locos have been done but traffic not yet started.
      It's a refined powder product (almost 100% pure iron), hence the extreme weight-ratio. The cars are also "short-coupled" so there are two "containers" and 8 axles per car. So 4400 tons are spread on 36 "containers" and 144 axles.
      More info about the cars: ruclips.net/video/jxxspw-K5GA/видео.html

    these freight cars look completly different from those pulled by the IORE twin-locos. Do they still transport the very same freight or are these freight cars used to transport sth different? Or as the question kind of is answered by the video description, then my question rather is: why are these freight cars so different?

    Jag hörde att det lastade malmtågen har förtur mot Narvik och tomma returer och passagerar tåg får vänta på mötesplatser tills det passerat. Stämmer det?

    • @purpliurple
      @purpliurple 3 года назад +1

      Passagerartåg och containertåg brukar ha högre prio eftersom dom har många tider att passa genom landet.
      Ibland måste malmtågen få förtur när dom inte kan mötas på vissa driftplatser.
      Passagerartåg har oftast lättare att köra in tiden om det bara är frågan om att stå ett par minuter.
      Men det är nog sant att returer normalt inte har särskilt hög prio på banan.

      No locomotive will drive 80 wagons in Sweden or Norway. The highest number is probably 68 wagons (the usual iron ore trains).
      The locomotives in this video (Bombardier TRAXX) have much less tractive effort than the IORE locomotives (2 x 300 kN vs 2 x 700 kN with boost function) so they would definitely stall out with 68 loaded wagons (8200 tonnes).

    • @gurugordon
      @gurugordon 3 года назад
