Thank you very much Swedish Railcam for making this video, let me understand the connection between the railway and the seaport, and also give me fond memories, thank you, I am a Hong Kong seaman, WING TANG👍👍👍
Thank you very much of downloading this. All northern train-trips are welcome.... but most of all, like the routes ~~Kalix / Kiruna, - Narvik direction.
We need notes and better labeling on this very nice bit of train video. Let us know something about the spots and places we are passing/visiting. Teach us something. You have viewers who want to be educated.
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.
A lovely ride. However, the names of each station mentioned on the map were written in small print which were unreadable. Can you make a list of each station we passed in bold letters?
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.
I always courious about the purpose of that extra tails beside the tail tracks, are they for emergnecy, that needs temporarily quick fix ? Nice video by the way, i enjoyed the trip....
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.
Outstanding rail video, excellent camera work! Had to ride it all the way through. Sounds like you have a very irate and unhappy baby monkey in the cab with you. I assume all that chittering are railway signal alarms.
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.
Just wondering: Can it be done on sunny day along summer - autumn and/or after days of new snow with quality 4k camera and memory card? With cleaned window from inside and outside and when driving away from sun? Just to present it in all it's beauty and full explosion of nature with it's colors. 😉 ❤ Stay well, drive safe.
Enjoyed the scenic vistas especially the Norwegian section this video because of mountains and fjords views. Here in Florida there's no mountains, fjords or snow so getting to see yours is great. On the other hand I can see rocket launches at Cape Kennedy. LOL
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.
According to OSM, the lines are connected in the tunnel at 3:22:50, but there are no rails on the old line anymore. Whether the tunnel is still open, I don't know.
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?
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.
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.
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
Woo hoo, the next trip is on.. I´m seating comfortable and enjoy the landscape... ;) And how do you make it when you´ll have a "business meeting" with the restroom (toilet) ? :) Maybe when the next switch is coming and you´ll wait for the other train?
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).
@@zaphr89 Thank you for your reply. My point was that it was unlikely they would send out a train with only 18 wagons. According to the figures you quote, the hauled weight would equate to 36 loaded wagons.
Two cars are coupled as a pair with a draw bar and are considdered as one car. The pair have one common brake valve only. hosting.photobucket.com/albums/c63/bengts/gsv/Northland/.highres/IMG_2857.jpg ruclips.net/video/jxxspw-K5GA/видео.html
Was that a waterfall or an avalanche at around 3:23:25? Off to the left I think it is an avalanche because I didn't see where any water would go to my husband thinks it is a waterfall. Please settle this dispute before we end up in divorce court! LOL Just kidding about the divorce, maybe LMBO
99% avalanche. A waterfall would appear less dynamic, you can really see how sometimes there comes more snow down, sometimes less. Also you can see how much snow is whirled up into the air, that can't be water.
WOW what a landscape...

Nice trip ... Beautiful land ... Thank you for this ride...greetings from Croatia...
Very nice views along the route! I bet during the winter with snow is even much better
Fantastic scenery. I really enjoyed this video, then again I enjoy all of your videos.
My maternal grandfather worked on the line and my mom was raised in one of the small villages along the line. Lakaträsk. Interesting to see.
Tell us something about this small village … just its name would be better than nothing.

Parabéns pelo vídeo. Gostaria muito de conhecer esses locais próximos do polo.
Most beautiful landscape is from Abisko to Narvik (my opinion).😍
Been up and down this section many times on a test train
is or was problem with sound?
4K please ! 🙏
Outstanding rail video, excellent camera work! Had to ride it all the way through. Sounds like you have a very irate and unhappy baby monkey in the cab with you. I assume all that chittering are railway signal alarms.
Sounds like the sound is intentionally distorted, may be for priveacy reasons?

Differnt company. IORE locos is the LKAB iron company, this is Kaunas Iron a competitor...

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?

Thank you for the info. I have one more question. What do the triangle signs with 90 or 100 below the triangle mean? Are those speed limit signs?
