You too!!! LOL!!!. I love watching these in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. If you have a large monitor and lean in close, you'll swear you're riding the train.
Never ceases to amaze me how quiet smooth and fast rail is in most of Europe. Such a difference from N America. Over here the most commonly replaced part in a loco is the air horn. Because they are leaning on it every 2 minutes.
@@acmenipponair Yes I realize that. In Europe they are sensible enough to realize the only way to idiot proof the interaction of rail and automobiles, its to ensure it happens as little as possible. Here? The Automobile rules. And many people die every year because they think they are faster than the train, and they can see a path around the blockades (if any exist that is).
On the other hand, our Swedish trains stop operating when there is a leaf on a track or a little bit of snow. A third common reason is migrants who steal copper wires and stop traffic. We call them zigenare. On the bright side, American trains derail every second day while our trains tend to stay on the tracks.
One of the most critical parts of true high-speed rail is complete grade separation from any other traffic, so horns aren't needed, because there's no crossings, at all.
Thoroughly enjoyed my trip through good farming land and timber forests at a steady but safe speed. Sweden has certainly some delightful scenery and some parts reminded me so much of parts of the UK and also of my time living in New Zealand in the North Island. A lovely video and thank you for providing me with an interesting ride on a very smooth express train.
@@acmenipponair I think I"ll have to disagree with you, that would almost be impossible. There are joints, it's how the joints are joined together, matched and welded some how. I've seen how they are "cad welded" in the states and I used to cad weld in the electrical field to ground buildings.
@@jayharder2598 There is another type of expansion joint for long welded rails, it is a longitudinal oblique shunt which causes expansions or retractions to take place in a sliding manner. This is why the rides are very smooth.
I love this footage. When i go to full screen on the computer it feels like i'm actually there. And thank you for recording this and not adding silly music. Just the low rumble of the train speeding along.
The pre-spring weather in Sweden can be somewhat..tricky. and confusing. one day little sun and blue sky the next some snow and next even more snow..and rain and then sun again..and repeat..haha u really never know how to dress if u dont look out the window😂 Good ride..=)
I lived in Sweden for 5 years (Gävle and Stockholm) travelled a fair bit and I can tell you the trains are so much smoother than the ones here in Canada. I'm born and raised in Toronto I still live in Toronto and this country of mine is going to shit. Shout out to Sweden sending love from Toronto 💙
Thanks for this. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The country side, the towns, the stations and rail yards, every bit. Now I want to take this trip in person!
Well, howdy back at y'all from San Antonio! Only 6% of Texans use "howdy" as a greeting anymore... I'm loving this ride through Sweden. Reminds me of parts I've seen of Canada and Alaska. I remember the part of that movie where Temple was mentioned. I've been through Temple many times. Folks there are very proud of their High School Football Team!
I watch cab view train videos from all over the world (one of my favorite things 2 do) and there isn't an ugly continent or country, but the Scandinavian nations are one of my favorite places to see the world from the rails.
This is now my fave video of yours that I've seen so far. I like to watch these vids at night- it's a nice way to ground yourself mentally and to unwind.
I believe that train has a speed of 125 mph? The DC northeastern corridor, which is the only electric section on that eastern line, is limited in speeds because of tight turning radius, tunnels restrictions. Even the Aclea is throttled back for most of its route, if it hits its top speed is for very short token distances. It's a problem of old infrastructure not upgraded for decades. Trump cut the funds on California's high speed train, it's been restored. The California line, diesel electric is extremely popular. He is also responsible for the Acleas delays as for 4 years the railway had zero support. They have open new long routes, one a 2 day trip, I believe from up north to Florida. Updating... The Aclea can only hit top speed for 48 miles, in short sections, because of infrastructure.
Why don't they have train systems like this in the USA, we're the richest country in the world , yet we have one of the worst rail systems in the world. Really sad. Sweden is a beautiful country, and Kudos to the person filming this Video.😊
Because the big auto manufacturers, 60 years ago didn't want people rail transport, so they could sell more cars, to run on government provided interstate highways, 80 years ago in the north east, bus companies drove the tram companies out of business
Because of the environmental impact of losing all that green space that wouldn't be able to recycle the carbon monoxide. Not to mention the fact that politicians can't build anything without making. It cost billions of dollars and taking 1020 years to complete. Remember Obama wanted to start at California's been working on what the same rail system they've spent billions of dollars for 15 years and they finally stop doing it. Besides, why would I want to take a train from? Ohio to California, who wants to go to California? I would just take a plane.
I have never been in Sweden and this is the first cabview experience that I have seen of your country. I must say that I am impressed. The ride is extremely smooth, I have seen only a few level crossings, near Stockholm construction seems to have blasted quite a few hills to make way for the tracks (my topographical knowledge is lacking I thought Sweden was mainly hilly inland and not near the coast) and overall it is an idyllic picture to look at with the countryside moving past. There are a few odd things looking at this footage from my Dutch perspective. First trains drive on the left, I assume this is a remnant of the past? Very few station on the line (maybe this is the high speed line and there are other more rural lines or the Swedish interior is very sparsely populated?). And some discontinued small railyards which always hurts my soul, I assume there was more rail traffic way back when and that most of it moved to trucks. Overall a beautiful depiction, thank you.
Sweden is hilly at the coast too, but the region this train passes is very flat by Swedish standards (maybe not by Dutch standards). This is a high speed line that doesn't stop at many stations. A lot of stations that are passed in this video is used by other trains. But yes, Sweden is sparsely populated everywhere.
wish we had beautiful smooth fast passenger rail in the US. Most of ours shares tracks with freight trains and the track is so beat up that you'd never travel at these speeds.
It's a carryover from the old convention that applied to the road system as well. The roads were changed to right hand in 1968 was it? And there may still be some awkward spots, like the roundabout south of Skanstullsbron in the Hammarby district of Stockholm. I used to have to pass through there by motorcycle back in the 1980s and it still gives me the shivers.
That's hardly a blizzard. If it were, you wouldn't be able to see 10 feet in front of you and it would be a complete white out. THAT'S WHAT A BLIZZARD IS.
why are there 4 rails every time they enter/exit a tunnel? starts with a little "V" shape and its almost like dual gauge but its ONLY in the tunnels. Ive tried to google it but im coming up short. Beautiful country, looks a lot like home. i need to visit sometime. going to be watching more of these
Я пишу из России, Москва. Я 30 лет работал в строительстве станций и сооружений на железной дороге в России. Россия горда, что у неё один из лучших в мире железнодорожный транспорт. Страны Северной Европы как и остальная Европа имеют очень мощный железнодорожный транспорт. Поэтому меня очень увлекло это видео из Швеции. Я много жил в Мурманске на Кольском полуострове. Там рядом Санкт-Петербург. Это рядом со Швецией. Думаю, что, когда восстановится мир в Европе, наши страны будут много сотрудничать как и раньше. 👍👍
Hi! I just scrolled past here, no real connection to trains. The X2000 trains operate at up to 200 km/h. This trip covers 398 km (according to sources) and takes 2:58 h, for an average on this trip just under 140 km/h.
Does the amount of snow match the elevation gain or loss? It seems that way. It's also fascinating to see the railroad ties "recede" as a function of camera ISO speed. It's like the stagecoach wheels spinning "backwards" in old American western movies.
You call that a blizzard? I live in Georgia, USA and we've had worse than that many times and not called it a blizzard. In a real blizzard I would have at least expected to see snow accumulating on the windshield, and visibility reduced to less than 100 meters. Except for the click-bait title, this is a great video.
This makes me think of the thousands of Swedish immigrants, many of whom likely followed this same path on their way to Gothenburg, to depart for the US, Canada and elsewhere.

Amazing! Train is the best option🤩😆
I had to look it up; 125 mph is how fast that train goes. 😮
Yes, I calculated it at exactly 200 kph or 125 mph too using the kilometer markings.
Thank you for sharing this and the other videos of your beautiful train systems. Signed, a jealous American.

Beautiful train and wonderful landscape! Right now, with 32°C at 8 PM this is the best thing to see
I can't believe how smooth the ride appears to be.... the rails are so straight, no gaps between the joints... amazing.
There are no joints its continuous welded rail.
Thats gold filigree laid into the handle
"joints" - the only joints most European tracks nowadays have are at switches.

Hi Jay from Mississauga !
Totally agree !
I'd love to get a summer home there. But too many dangerous islamistst and africans.
It's probably worse off with you in it...
So smooth and quiet these rails. Lovely snow footage 😮

Really enjoyable journey but, I would like the speed of the train showed and the signal and sign meanings.
And THIS is the X2000 class electric consist that Amtrak resisted over the Acela. As usual, the American railroad system falls behind.
