The amazing bit for me is how they can get the ferry deck and rails so well aligned and still that there is no risk of derailing. I wonder if the situation is different in a storm? Also really cool that the train locks into a coupler to keep it in place.
@@jappedut9009 that's a Scharfenberg coupler. that couplers don't need to be aligned 100% to grab into each other. And well, he don't derail because he is only going 10 km/h. Derailings happen because a train is too fast for the track curvature and gets carried "out of the tracks". So by going slow the danger isn't there, the boogies can adjust to the track curvature
I've ridden this ferry 3x if not more back in 70s might not be this exact ferry my farther was a international truck/lorry driver from Cadwallender,s UK I was7 yrs old and loved catching many ferries most of all train carrying one's they are so rare😊😊😊
I was a guard in the 90,s Train Load Freight based at Bescot. One of the jobs i worked was the Langley green tanks containing very dangerous contents white phosphorus tanks and chlorine tanks they came over on the boat train from Belgium.
I did that route in 1996 with the older ferries. Engine and coaches, the train was so long that once on board they had to split it, pull the rear half back a bit and shunt it alongside on to another line on the deck. The end of the ship was actually open unlike this one and the buffer stops lowered on beams. Interesting experience.
I really miss the trips with trains on the danish ferries. In particular over Storebælt. That was the best part of the whole journey between sjælland and jylland. Now, while the bridge is a marvelous construction, it's also rather boring that the entire crossing is over in a couple of minutes and the train doesn't even cross the hanging portion of the bridge, but just drives through a tunnel.
Puttgarden, been there in 1990 as a child. Great memories for the trains and whole machinery and infrastructure 😊 still got that golden coin with the ICE1 from the tourist shop
Living in the Puget Sound region of Washington State, USA, our car and truck ferries certainly cannot do trains. Amazing technology. Never seen this before and it’s really cool!.
Railroad car floats are not that high tech, they've been around for a while, though they are getting less common as time passes. In the US I think Penn Central had car floats in Michigan and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey still runs car floats across the Hudson between Brooklyn and NJ. In all cases in the USA, car floats are or were only for freight AFAIK. Europe has some that accommodate passenger trains, like this one connecting Germany with Denmark, but there's also a car float connecting Sicily with the Italian mainland that accommodates passenger trains including night sleepers. The main problem is that the ferry has to be specially designed for the service (you can't just use a "normal" ferry) and I don't think it's particularly efficient or cheap to run, hence bridges and tunnels are normally used.
This was the Hamburg - Copenhagen service. It was suspended a couple of years ago to allow for construction of an 18 km/11 miles undersea tunnel (which required closure of the railway that led to the harbours). AFAIK the only remaining regular passenger train ferry in the world is the one to Sicily (Rome to Palermo and Catania). There are still some freight train ferries though.
Though these videos in this playlist th-cam.com/play/PL7L5L0We2UvZXhoZxTZB0mPdKHnVbAP3y.html are from the 60's to early 80's, they have shots of Great Lake Car Ferries. Car ferries of these were originally for train cars and where converted to carry autos on the top deck. I lived in Manitowoc in the 70's and watched them load/unload train cars from their 4 tracks inside.
@@MG-ff8eu Well, the ferry is still running and yes, at the moment there is a bus service between Lübeck and Puttgarden, also the IC services were cut of even before 2022 to prepare for the tunnel building. The other possible rail ferry is by the way Gedser -> Rostock, but it's also not used for trains since two decades
Sad that the line is now closed but for anyone interested in decaying railway infrastructure DSB have allowed the stabling facility north of the terminal to become a nature reserve. Great photos to be had.
@@oadka - there's a rail/road tunnel under construction but it will take at least 6 more years to complete... currently trains go the long way around over the Belt bridges
@@steve1978ger That's for the Tunnel itself. Upgrading the Rail Line and Highway Road in Germany will take anywthing between 20 Years and not at all, because of NIMBYs halting such Projects indefinitely. Germany still is debating where and how to build these Lines, or even if they should be built at all. Meaning to say the Tunnel will be very useless, just like the Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland is right now and the Brenner Base Tunnel in Austria will be, for the same Reasons.
Back in 2001 I was on this EC from Hamburg HBF to Kopenhagen C. Amazing to see a train going on a ship. And what I did not know, that it couples in a Scharfenberg coupling that is fixed to the ships haul. We passengers stayed on board the train until it stopped in the ship. We had to leave the train and went up the deck enjoying the sail over the Femer Belt. This had come to an end now. In a couple of years the tunnel will be ready and trains will whizz underneath the Belt. Tnx for sharing.
Not sure where this is filmed, but at the crossing between Germany and Denmark (Rodby), the ship engages with some giant clamps on the dockside to hold it steady. The dock is well-protected and the seaway looks quite shallow, so it is all possible. I was watching the train pull into the ship on the CCTV on the bridge - fascinating and unreal.
There's a hook or spanner looking beam in the bowgate, with holes through the beams. Where hydraulic ram pins through to secure it to the dock. And ferries usually always have a few procent power towards the dock, to make sure it stays in place. If the crew throw ropes over, then they'll hold it
Per noi in Italia spettacolo comune e giornaliero. Tra Sicilia e Calabria. Fino a qualche anno fa anche tra Lazio e Sardegna. Occasionalmente tra Sicilia e Sardegna. La differenza è che la motrice è in coda e non imbarca.
I have been on a train on a ferry twice in 2000 & 2017. In 2000, we were allowed to stay on the train during the trip, while in 2017, we were required to leave the train and go to the upper deck during the trip.
This is nothing new and trains, or part of trains, have been loaded onto ferries for a hundred years. Back in the 1920's The Golden Arrow train ran from Waterloo station overnight to Paris. The coaches were loaded onto a ferry and collected by SNCF locomotive for the run to Paris. Passengers got on the train in London and got off in Paris. This service ran well into the 1970's.
I wrote this in a school essay that the Golden Arrow train went on to the ferry. My teacher said it wasn't true. Ha! What do some teachers know?! The teacher couldn't accept being taught by the pupil for once!! 😂
@@timhubbard8895 Maybe your teacher (who is probably very old by now) gets to read this! If they are I suggest that they should have checked their facts before making such emphatic pronouncements! lol
The Golden Arrow did not take the ferry. The english and french trains were two seperate trains. Only the passengers took the ship. The train that did go by ferry was the Wagon-Lits Night Ferry that ran from London Victoria to Paris. It was split in two parts on the ferry. A french loco pulled it on the french side to Paris. The Golden Arrow also ran from Victoria, not Waterloo.
If I was that signaller with the radio I couldn't resist going "more to the left, ya, there you go" when the train goes through the curve in the tracks.
I used to ride those trains between Hamburg and Copenhagen. Some days, the weather was so windy, rocking the ship greatly. Some people didn't take it too well and ended up with green faces.
@@ChristianoLord9 if you took the ferry I think it should've been an Ice TD. As you can see in the video there's no overhead wire. The sadly short lived ICE TD was a Diesel-powered ICE and and based on the ICE T. The ICE T, TD, 3, 3M, 3MS and 3neo look sonewhat similar.
The tidal range must be pretty small where train ferries exist. Either that, or there must be some very precise ballasting operations going on while loading and unloading. Otherwise the gradients on the link spans would be too large for rolling stock. I took trains on ferries for granted when I was a child, but when I think about it, they are actually a remarkable feat of engineering getting the track aligned so precisely.
@@johncox2284 Aren't the Fehmarnbelt Ferries moored by Hydraulic Arms; kinda like an Excavator grabbing them? Because "regular" Mooring with Lines would take too long for their 45/15-Minute-Schedule. Anyway, These Ferries are amazingly manouverable, and that's how they line up to the Tracks. Or used to until the Train Line was closed.

@@josephbennett3482 No no, that's a P-sign for Pfeifen = Whistle. The W-sign stands for Wartezeichen and means a train has to stop their shunting until they get permission to continue. In this case, I guess they already asked for permission when going through the signal at the start.

I couldn't see any floating device to keep the rails aligned for any movement between the boat and the dock. Is there one that I just couldn't see, or are the rails all just fixed?
I'm guessing that the ferry locks into place on the dock so it doesn't swivel and bounce with the water then whenever they're ready to leave the dock workers release it and it can go on it's way.
It seems like this is some small ferry for short voyages (i.e. on the other side of river or canal), so they won't have the opportunity to be on rough seas :P
@@mwitbrot it is over the Baltic sea but the trip takes only 45mins and you just have to place it in Neutral with Parking Barke set even on my 3hour ferry trip to Norway we just had to put the car in neutral and set the parking brake
The Train is Diesel-Mechanic with a 12-Gear Automatic Transmission, the Ferry is Diesel-Electric but with additional Batteries, making it a Hybrid. Reason is that the Ferries there (4 Ships on that Route) spend 15 Minutes in Port and then 45 Minutes at Sea over an over again. So they have high Power Consumption at Sea and low Power Consumption while in Port, meaning to say the Diesel Generators have strong Load Changes every few Minutes. Replacing one Engine by a large Battery allows to run the Engines at steady Load instead, charging the Batteries while in Port and drawing extra Power while at Sea, especially while accelerating and stopping. This saves about 10% Fuel and reduces Emissions by a much greater Factor.
So glad were getting the new fehmarhn tunnel, so we can stop wasting time riding slow ferries, which are so bad for the environment. The tunnel should’ve been built only for trains with 4 tracks though, but at least this will be quite a shortcut, with the train still going almost twice as fast as the cars, though only 125mph from copenhagen to hamburg is just so 60+ years ago, it should be 180mph, with no stops between Hamborg and copenhagen, cause onl❤y they have a decent population size.
Yes we need more speed, so we can be more productive do more and die of a heart attack because we were so efficient! And the new crossing of course had no impact at all on the environment, green concrete, steel and plastics were used for construction.😂 and not a drop of Diesel from all electric powered construction equipment❤ 4:25
Non c'est pas nouveau et c'est fini maintenant, les ICE (TGV allemands) faisaient ça pour relier Hambourg et Copenhague jusqu'en 2019. Un tunnel va ouvrir d'ici 2019 pour remplacer ce service. Les trains Paris-Londres faisaient ça aussi autrefois.

there's not much innovative about it ... by now it's outdated and the line was shut down few years ago

The ramp begins at the red signal and ends at the ship, where the blue floor begins.

That's not the point. The point is that the train can continue the journey on the other side.
