#Taiwan #تايوان Alishan Forest Railway cargo train (Feb.6.2018) Section 1: at 2nd Switch Station Section 2: at No.60 bridge. Section 3: at main line 64k+400m
@Alco Power - Did you notice how well the trees are 'maintained' - nothing on, or, 'over- hanging' the tracks. This part at least is what I would call a "Farmed Forest" with all the trees neatly spaced out and not masses of 'undergrowth' to allow them to grow to their maximum.
@@r.w.7232 You do realise there are different gauges for rails right? Not everything is built to the scale of what is seen in North America or Major lines in Europe.
It looks like a narrow gauge logging railroad. There are still a few like this in the US, many operating as tourist railroads, such as Cass Scenic RR in West Virginia. Narrow gauge railroads have rails closer together and smaller rolling stock, and for logging they built them like this. The train you see in the beginning is using a switchback, where the train pulls into a spur, then backs up through the switch to continue uphill or downhill. It's not an efficient way to climb mountains for a large railroad but it works for small ones like this. Mountain railroads like this will use several switchbacks to climb up and down hillsides.
The train was fascinating - more or less human scale rather than the industrial behemoths elsewhere - and the forest is like a fairytale setting. There is such charm in this video. Thank you for sharing it!
i love everything about this, the whole aesthetic is mind blowing to me. the rocks, the moss, the surreal trees, mini-train and multi-grade tracks, and those neat little stone drainage creeks next to the track. i could live in this video
Nice video. Thanks. I Rode this train up to Ali Shan and back in spring of 1988. I remember lots of Wasabi growing very thickly at some elevation. A wonderful experience.
This looks like the tracks that go through the woods a few blocks from my house. The trees are different but they arch over the tracks like a tunnel. I love walking it. If you go the other direction there's hundreds of acres of forest to explore off the tracks.
Bravo ! Vous avez l’œil. Très beau cadrage. Et qu’elle belle région. J’imagine ces plans en photos 3*2 mètres, juste avant que le train ne prenne trop de place... magnifique...
I like the way that Japan incorporates technology into nature without destroying it. Someday I'm going to visit and take railroads to a mix of large, medium, and small cities/towns. Best wishes from USA.
@@fpk1234 It doesn't exist except in a book for children with imaginations. By an author known only as BB. Worth trying Amazon if you're intrigued! Written in the 1930s I believe.
To look at the tracks you would think that nobody ever uses it. It's so quiet and peaceful then slowly but surely the train comes trundling along but even then it still looks quite surreal.
@Derrick M As far as I know, the bamboo railway is in Cambodia and Philippines. However, in recent years, Cambodia's railway equipment has been updated, and it is unknown whether the bamboo railway exists.
There is a light switch on the caboose. The station in the video has no signal lights, and the train conductor will give instructions to start the train. This is in Taiwan.
An adorable rail system. Be nice to see one in Britain like this. I would love to see less lorries on our roads and goods going by rail instead. It would be less of a carbon footprint!
@@fpk1234 I feel Taiwan is the real successor of the Great China Nation because it is the one who still carries all the virtues and values of it in spite of great belligerence by Communist captured main land. Hope, one day the Taiwanese thoughts will prevail over all of China.
I'm curious what they were hauling. They load it in what looks like a garbage or tote bag with handles. I notice the gondolas were empty towards the end of the video. They were unloaded somewhere along the way. Do you know what cargo they were carrying?
Thank you for your watching. The train is loaded with sand, gravel and cement, and these cargoes are carried to the construction site. Those white bags are commonly called "Space Bag(Bulk Bag)" in Taiwan.
Wow why did I think this would be one of those miniature train set videos because from the look of how the train is in the thumbnail I thought it was one of those miniature train set videos
Thank you for not adding music.
Thanks for your watching 😊😊😊
I wish I could thumbs-up this comment 10 times!!
This is outstanding. It is literally in the middle of the forest. I love how the trees are very close to the rails. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for your watching and appreciation 😊😊😊😊
I think the trees were there first.

This looks and feels like a real-size train set. I'd have fun driving on that thing all day long.
bro this is a real train lmao
@@10kados52 not full scale
Yes this is a real train, not model layout. 😁
@@r.w.7232 You do realise there are different gauges for rails right? Not everything is built to the scale of what is seen in North America or Major lines in Europe.
@@masterenos Um... Duh!
I seriously though this was a model railroad until I saw the guy in the train move.
Thanks for your watching. This is the real railway in operation.
And wear a face mask in forest two years ago. Corona started this year. 🤔
same😊
@Edrick RounsavilleJust wonder why people wears mask in empty forest. Nothing serious. Rail in forest is really interesting to see. 😀👍
What an interesting low-footprint railway concept!
looks idyllic and peaceful. hope it is.
Thanks for your watching and appreciation 😊😊😊
I can just imagine this scenery in the modern Legend Of Zelda world after the Industrial Revolution...
How low footprint?

Yeah I was thinking it looked pretty nice. My luck I would go there the day China started some conflict.
This is very nice. We love Arishian Tea. Love from Japan.
Thanks for watching.
If you have a opportunity, please come to Alishan again
Forest of Boland light railway!!! If you're British go search!

I was expecting an elephant to stop the Motorman.. any ways the forest area was so good and gave a feast to my eyes.
Thanks for your watching and appreciation 😊😊😊
Wow, it's not a toy model train. It's amazing.
😁
Great video ! Thanks.

Very cool! I never envisioned a caboose like that though. That one car is my favorite thing about trains.
Thanks for your watching
The caboose is very cute.
うちの国では現役の森林鉄道はもう殆ど無くなってしまった。とても貴重な風景だと思います。
この鉄道が世界の文化遺産に含まれることを願っています

Awesome vid. As a rail fan I always enjoys seeing smaller gauge railways. It would be nice to see more make a comeback
Thanks for your watching and appreciation. There must be many videos about Alishan Forest Railway.
@@fpk1234 Ive seen a few. I think the bamboo railway is really cool in Vietnam

A plane can only fly in d air A ship can only sail on water but a train can take u everywhere
Great description, I like trains
It could be a possible heritage site.For a while I was lost like a child who is playing with his first train.
This railway should have been registered as a World Heritage, but it could not be realized because of Taiwan’s diplomatic difficulties. 😢

This is a real railway in operation, located in Alishan, Taiwan
Incredible stunning shots! great work I have subscribed.
Thanks for your watching and subscribing.
Those are very straight looking trees.
Yes, The characteristic of this tree is that it is tall and straight
I am sure you can some very good quarter sawn lumber from that with minimal waste.
Where is this ?
This is in Alishan, Taiwan

Interesting railroad. Steep grades with switchbacks!

This is a 1:1 layout
It's a beautifully maintained permanent way.

This railway is one of treasures in Taiwan

Amazing how the trees grow right up against the track like that. Creates a 'Harry Potter-esk" scene.

I I wonder if the masked compiler is it related to the coronavirus or another purpose? Another year, only 2018!
The conductor used to wear a mask 😅
