@Blue Pearl I only understand English as well. Just didn't have an expectation of English comments when watching a German video. Hard to determine tone sometimes with the written word and I may have misunderstood yours in the first post.
In England you'd have all sorts of regulations to worry about, In Germany people are obviously sensible enough not to get in the way. Excellent video and a very impressive locomotive.
I guess it is a regulation there that the steam locomotive enthusiasts can meet. The tracks are not used that much I think but are still in a maintained state.
I so miss seeing this since I left Frankfurt, not very often it runs but when it does everyone stops and looks epic Loco makes the hair stand up on your neck when it goes by.
It just seems so surreal seeing a locomotive rolling through a modern city Street like that... It almost looks super imposed onto the video... You don't expect to see one of these roll down a city block like that... It's like a residual ghost train.. !! It's awesome to see these locomotives still in service today. : )
I would agree that it looks odd seeing steam and an older diesel shunter moving through a modern city, even more weird since I'm not aware of European railways doing steam excursions like we get in NOrth America. I wonder what some of the older people where thinking when they started seeing the once familier plumes of smoke and whistles in the distance only to be greated by the sight of a big black steam locomotive puffing along, something that hasn't been seen on european railways for decades now.
I would of loved to see my city back in the 30s had 3 operating companies if one wanted to get from the west station to east station and goods station they had to street run. Becuse the mainline tunnel was owned by another company. All gone now apart from the mainline.
Ganz toll, dass es diese Hobby Bahn wieder gibt. Ich kenne diese Strecke, als ich in Mühlheim/Main wohnte und arbeitete, oft Frankfurt besuchte. Dankeschön für das tolle Video. Grüße jetzt aus der Nähe von Sydney, Australien, wo ich als Rentner lebe und mich eines sommerlichen Weihnachten erfreue.

Steam excursion trains are very popular around the world. In Germany in the winter the air is so cold the steam hangs in the air. This steam engine has been converted from burning coal to diesel oil. Cheaper and much cleaner. This train has a diesel on the back end to pull it back so it doesn't have to turn around. East Germany (DDR) was still using steam trains when the wall came down 25 years ago. They were surprised so many people want to still ride steam trains.
@@dfirth224 I think that this 52 isn't convertet to a diesel steam engine I think it would be convertet to a heavy oil loko but to my researches it is a normal coal engine but you can change my mind by sources showeing my mistake sorry for my english
@@dfirth224 I don't think the diesel is pulling the train backward. The steam engine is definitely steaming backward in several scenes. They usually have the diesel for electric power for heating and light. Very few rail coaches are equipped for steam heat.
Ich fand’s genial das die Lok bei der Eröffnung der neuen alten neuen Neuen Altstadt auch gefahren ist. War für mich komplett neu dass da so eine Lok fährt und hatte mich Minuten davor noch gewundert warum da schienen am Mainufer entlang gehen.
I went to Frankfurt a couple years back and remember seeing this lone track cutting through a lot of parts of the city with no boundaries, just assumed it was never used anymore because I never saw any trains go by the entire trip!
Superb video! Is this railway line a siding and is being used often? Quite extraordinary to see the train there I suppose, steam train was even a bigger shock for those passerbys and drivers... ;) Thumbs up and best regards! Mike
There is no regular traffic since al lot of years. In the 80s i cant remember that there was regular traffic. A few times in the year this railway is used by Historic Railway Frankfurt.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_City_Link_Line). i think many of young drivers a shocked if their car was passed by steam train (;-). At some sections they installed barriers to prevent accidents with cars.
Oh was seh ich bei 8:44? Einen VW TDI? Und das bei dem ABGASSKANDAL? Und dann noch diese Dampflok?😂Scherz bei Seite. WUNDERSCHÖNE AUFNAHMEN. Einfach KLASSE.👍👍
Тот самый редкий случай современности, когда знаки паровоза действительно означают паровоз. Да и вообще, очень необычно, когда посреди города с его многоэтажками, машинами и светофорами едет самый что ни на есть настоящий паровоз.
Son gente que aman a su país, un amor que empezó hace varios miles de año.... que se fue fortaleciendo con el transcurso del tiempo con las epopeyas de sus hombres y mujeres... un ejemplo para la humanidad.... en cuanto a estas máquinas... son las mejores..
I personally find Class 52 to be the most beautiful steam locomotive in the world of all times... I'd be even better if the engineer blows the whistle more often.
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen mit toller 52 und geiler Location . Hätte gerne wieder mehr davon . Dank Behördenwahnsinn ( und noch dämlicheren Autobauern ) leider immer weniger zu sehen .
@Jack Liberman я не знаток, могла и ошибиться. Просто первые паровозы напомнил. Ну, а так как они во второй половине 19-го века появились, то поэтому именно об этом веке и упомянула. :-) Спасибо за пояснение.
‘Unser Deutsche Reichsbahn’....makes a return to Frankfurt am Main! Must be quite a sight in real life....pretty cool. Quite different to the Bundesbahn....a tad more romantic the age of steam...
I am so used to railways been 'isolated' platforms, stations, fenced railroads. But here steam is one with the streets. Extraordinary. Wonderful to see, but dangerous?
After 15 minutes of watching in complete bewilderment; I wonder If I get a resident visa, will they let me live in the class 52? BR 50 and 52 (along with the 9F) are my favorite locomotives.
Snow on the ground and a steam engine through the city streets, what isn't there to like. Lovely footage and well put together :)
Agreed. Beautiful german engineering in a great setting
Yeah. Very Charles Dickens.
@Blue PearlThis is a German video so what's the problem?

A country that needs more regulations than Germany? I can't believe that this would exist...

Not just for running it but for running along a road
It was more a case of concealing the motion parts and limiting emissions. Not a problem with the average tram
Wie geil ist das denn wenn du ganz normal Autofährst und dann plötzlich ne Damplok mitten auf der Straße an dir Vorbei rattert ☺️🚂

English comment coming through here : POLAR EXPRESS ANYBODY?
You are right, there is a slight similarity BUT in this train, there are mostly old people instead of children.
this is nothing like the polar express
Steam engine
Driving thru city
Snow
Nothing like?
MrOrzech The locomotive in this video doesn’t look anything like the Polar Express engine.

мне не понравилось, всему свое место. здесь круче бы смотрелся современный красивый поезд.
Tolles Video dieser Straßenbahn der etwas anderen Art :)
Danke
Very nice video, thumbs up :)
Wow das nenne ich mal tolles Video der BR 52. Freue mich schon wenn die als Modell über unsere Anlage fährt. LG Björn
Wonderful! When I am in Frankfurt next, I so want to buy tickets for this!
if you will buy tickets: only a few times a year Historic Railway Frankfurt will use this railway!
Wow ! Such a beautiful video
Quite unusual to see a locomotive such as this in the streets. Here in the UK it must be almost unknown. Nice video, danke schon.
eine sehr schöne bahn Unterhaltung klasse Gruß micha 👍 😀 und Frohe Weihnachten
Geile Zeit gewesen,frohe Weihnachten!🎅🎅

Beautiful whistle. Gives me chills.
This is really cool to see a vintage loco amidst a modern city.....
The whistle at 2:00 is absolutely beautiful
Polar express?
What is the pinkish overhead pipe's purpose? It’s in many locations.
Great vedio. Very nostalgic to see steam trains
Always great to see foreign preserved steam locomotives in action.
Excellent video! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
What a beautiful train!
Thanks for the great video
From the USA, this is fantastic.
Very good video ... steam in streets !
Some of these buildings are just creepy looking though ...

Are those light rail tracks? Seems like there might be some weight issues. Great video and event.
No, old industrial trackage.
Impressionante essa ferrovia com a Maria-Fumaça passando bem no meio das ruas. É um ótimo atrativo para o turismo.
Really nice steam engines
No fences or barriers. Clearly the German people are a lot more sensible when it comes to behaviour around big pieces of kit emitting steam!
What a goodness to see such a beautiful train on roads of city
Он из 40-х годов 20 века в 21-й приехал!!! Какой важный паровоз!

Паровозы 52-ой серии строились с 1942 по 1950 гг. Если интересно посмотрите pro-parovoz.ru/index.php/component/k2/905-br-52-voennyj-parovoz.html.
Wunderbares Video!! Ich vermisse allerdings ein paar Textangaben dazu: wer war der Betreiber ? Evtl. Verlinkung dorthin...
Da hat sich aber einer ausgetobt :) und hinten dran der Bierwagen für alle Fälle sehr geil
Ich denke das ist der Hauptsponsor!

Pure magic.

Amazing. How do they put a huge mainline steam loco in an urban area?
It was a passenger train special on the Frankfurt Harbour Railway. The train is operated by Historische Eisenbahn Frankfurt
Looks like a fun ride
WOW! Nice & interesting video!
That is gorgeous!!
Классное видео. Спасибо
Wow nice, like it (from India)
Fantastic video steam loco sounding good
I like how they added little armor plates at the very front of the locomotive so that when the P-47's strafe you, you have a bit of protection.
Wind screens for aerodynamics ;).
Immediately gives the cold city a soul
warum sind vorne diese längsschilde angebracht?
海外の蒸気機関車も良いですね。それにしても、こんな街中を本線級の機関車が走るって新鮮！
why are german steam locomotives painted red on the underside?
Необычно видеть паровоз на улице города, иущий по портовой ветке.
Where in Frankfurt is this? How do you ride?
Bin damit schonmal gefahren, im tiefsten Sommer. Im Winter bei Schnee aber möchte ich dies auch gerne mal machen.
Wow absolutely amaizing real loco👍
What I would like to know is: Why are they hauling that diesel engine along at the end of the train?
That's crazy! I like it. Greetings from Ukraine & Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, guys! :)
