Austrian Railways truly giving passengers the treat of the operating speeds that was promised. Quite unlike there being some who advertise of their beautiful high-speed trains' (HST) availability for the experience, but the gimmick pans-out once on the go & all came apparent that they claim to actually operate at safe speeds for that reason or to save, not safe guard anything, but likely their rolling-stock assets or their hide, from having to pay reparations post mishap, shud any happen.

[@baotutubenbenxiong]

This is absolutely nice in China you cannot see this. HSR EMU and cargo running on same track, and at least get 120-160kph. This is low cost solution that to be studied.

[@stephanweinberger]

Yes, Austria decided to focus on high capacity and efficiency instead of high speed. The tracks are built to "only" support 250kph, but designed to accomodate all types of traffic. Travel speed for passengers is minimized by providing integrated synchronized timetables, so transfers are quick and efficient - so overall journeys are not really that much slower, but the lines are much cheaper to build and maintain. But, on the other hand, the situation is very much different from China. We just don't have the same passenger numbers in a country of only 8 million inhabitants; so dedicated lines for high speed passenger traffic just aren't worth it.

[@knarf2570]

Geile Aufnahmen, besonders die Perspektive finde ich klasse. Besonders wenn die Doppeltraktionen der Railjets durchs Bild "knallen" (00:20, 03:28). Heftig auch der Sog der Solo-Taurus bei 1:07 und des Solorailjets bei 01:22 ..

[@claudedarmstadter7774]

Es sind keine Doppeltraktionen, wie sie noch vor 30-40 Jahren gehandhabt wurden (mit einem zweiten Lokführer hinten, der übers Mikrofon auf die Anweisungen des ersten vorne reagierte), sondern Doppelzüge mit einem einzigen Lokführer.

[@knarf2570]

Das ist sicher jedem klar. Ist ja bei nahezu allen Fernzügen gängige Praxis. Doppeltraktion bedeutet aber ja auch nicht, dass es mehrere Lokführer gibt. Doppeltraktion sagt aus, dass es sich ein eine Mehrfachtraktion mit zwei Einheiten handelt. Und bei einer Mehrfachtraktion "laufen alle diese Fahrzeuge regulär im Zug mit und werden zentral vom ersten Fahrzeug mithilfe einer Mehrfachsteuerung ferngesteuert; das ist eine durch Verbindungskabel geschaffene Fernsteuerung vom vorderen Führerstand zum hinteren Triebfahrzeug. Die einfachste Mehrfachtraktion ist die Doppeltraktion, also das Fahren mit zwei Lokomotiven an einem Zugende bzw. das Kuppeln zweier Triebzüge (siehe auch Flügelung)." (Zitat: Wikpedia) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrfachtraktion Und genau das ist doch hier der Fall?

Eigentlich gefällt mir Dein Video, nur der Aufnahmeort ist dann wohl doch etwas sehr nah an der Strecke, da nützt die Warnweste auch nicht viel. Ich hätte von der Anhöhe aus die Züge aufgenommen. Da ist mir mein Eigenschutz mehr wert. Ist meine Meinung. Einen Daumen nach oben bekommst Du von mir. Ich hoffe, dass meine Kritik einen kleinen Anstoß zur Eigensicherung gegeben hat. Gruß Thomas

[@ShazenVideos]

Naja, die Sogwirkung ist jetzt auch nicht so stark, wie viele glauben. Die kann einen maximal ein wenig aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen, und das auch nur, wenn man nicht auf den Zug vorbereitet war. Die rot markierten Sicherheitsabstände auf den Bahnsteigen sind nur deswegen da, weil die Leute des öfteren durch ihr Handy oder Begleiter abgelenkt sind oder sogar mit den Kopfhörern Musik hören. Durch eine "plötzliche" Zugdurchfahrt können sie aus dem Gleichgewicht kommen und in Panik falsch reagieren, wodurch sie in Richtung des Zuges stolpern und ihn berühren können. Auf der Strecke arbeiten wir auf dem Nebengleis während Züge mit 160 km/h an uns vorbeirauschen. Das bringt maximal die Sicherheitsweste ein wenig zum Wedeln, mehr aber auch nicht. An heißen, trockenen Tagen erfreut man sich sogar an dem Wind, den die Züge generieren :-) Grundsätzlich kann man auf der zum Gleis zeigenden Seite der Fahrleitungsmasten stehenbleiben und es würde nichts passieren. Nur wenn die Masten schwarz/gelb (Sicherheitsabstand kann nicht gewährleistet werden) oder rot/weiß (Sicherheitsabstand nicht ausreichend) gekennzeichnet sind, muss man sich überlegen ob man dort wirklich stehen bleibt. Also, nicht alles so ernst nehmen, Thomas.

[@Baureihe1031]

Hi ! Es ist doch wohl etwas anderes, ob man dort arbeitet, oder ohne Sicherungsmaßnahmen die ja bei arbeiten an den Gleisen vorgeschrieben sind am Gleis steht und mit einer Kamera Züge aufnimmt. Naja eine Sogwirkung durch einen mit Höchstgeschwindigkeit fahrenden ICE oder einen Kesselwagenzug mit seiner Höchstgeschwindigkeit ist dann wohl nicht zu vernachlässigen. Gruß Thomas

Trains in Austria manage 200 km/h on some tracks. I think (don't quote me on that) Railjet trains are built for 250 km/h. Some countries have trains that far surpass our high speed trains. Why is that?

[@Franjo5000]

railjet is built for 230 km/h and drives that also in Austria at some places between Salzburg and Wien and 220 km/h between Wörgl and Innsbruck. Well we have the mountains and the distance is pretty close, thats why more speed would not make much difference and sense.

[@china22s]

@@Franjo5000 The speed has nothing to do with the distance. Taurus is making a "wave" on the rails. At some speed, this wave can´t spread as fast as the train is traveling and the loco starts bouncing on the track - this is very destructive for the material (loco and tracks).

[@railenthusiastabhishek1527]

@china22s TGVs have locomotives on both ends of train which are as heavy as Taurus. Yet TGV has reached 574.8 km/h.

[@stephanweinberger]

Because of the mountainous terrain, Austria decided to focus on high capacity and efficiency instead of high speed. The tracks are built to "only" support 250kph, but designed to accomodate all types of traffic. Travel speed for passengers is minimized by providing integrated synchronized timetables, so transfers are quick and efficient - in the end overall journey times are not really that much slower, but the lines are much cheaper to build and maintain.

[@stephanweinberger]

@@china22s That's a problem with any train/locomotive, and that's one of the reasons why high speed lines are so expensive to build and maintain. Forces on the track typically go up with the speed cubed or even to the 4th power; i.e. if you want to go double the speed, the tracks have to withstand 8 to 16 times the amount of force.
