Be Amazed: what is this building? Railway History on the Delft - Amersfoort journey! 13/10/2024

[@johnlang4198]

Hi Vince, Elevated railway in my suburb opened in 2022 and it, like quite a few examples, opened up previously unavailable views of Melbourne Australia's natural beauty. Also, when not using the rail network, it has transformed traffic flow and opened up recreational space, so the benefits flow to everyone.

[@JASchut]

Alweer een mooie rit. Dank je.

Great ride and excellent history lesson about the line through Delft!

Lovely ride. Thanks

[@theobrattinga500]

Weer een hele mooie video meester.

[@ruawhitepaw]

At 1:25:36 the sprinter has an arc flash on the back right wheels. It seems that it created a strong enough EM pulse for the camera to pick it up, because you hear a snapping sound right at the same moment.

[@CabviewHolland]

Hm, at the small screen I am watching now, de flash is not at the wheels but higher. Looks more like a reflection in the windscreen, but that would be impossible as the camera would block that. Hm. I will check this out on a larger screen with the original video. Very well spotted!

[@CabviewHolland]

Hi @ruawhitepaw, I analyzed the original video frame by frame and what you see and what you hear is a bug, probably a wasp, crashing into the windscreen. It didn't stick so it is only there for one frame. It does look AND sound like arcing.

[@mmsmits2868]

Hele mooie rit! In antwoord op uw vraag, nee, ik zou niet graag een verhoogde spoorlijn door mijn stad willen. Maar een station in de stad zelf zou wel mooi zijn. Ik woon in Albany, NY, met het op-acht-na drukste Amtrak station van Amerika (1670 passagiers per dag). Dit is de route van de 20th Century Limited trein van de New York Central, maar na de jaren vijftig moest iedereen in de auto en is ons station verhuisd naar Rensselaer, aan de andere kant van de Hudson rivier. Ik zou graag weer een station hier in de stad willen zien.

[@Ztbmrc1]

Prachtige rit! Leuk dat de conducteurs over de portofoon in Amsterdam CS nog de term "geknipt" gebruiken! Bij 1:37:42 na Hilversum en de onderdoorgang van de A27 zie je rechts weer dat ding aan de bovenleidingsportaal. Ik heb dat al eens eerder gevraagd of iemand weet waarvoor dat is. Ik heb op google streetview vanaf de overweg aan de Doctor Albert Schweizer straat gekeken, en dan zie je een zwarte kabel naar boven gaan. Dat lijkt coax antennekabel te zijn. Wellicht een extra basisstation voor de GSM-R?

[@CabviewHolland]

Ja dat zou kunnen. Ook deze keer geen antwoord op je vraag... Geen idee ook waar ik dit zou moeten navragen.

[@Ztbmrc1]

[@AlpheNoord]

Mooi hoe we de DDZ kunnen volgen vanaf 18:17, en daarna op 25:03 😎👍🏻

[@Kromaatikse]

The dark signal shows a big difference between British and Dutch practice. British signals, even automatic ones, are "lamp proved" so that the previous signal in sequence will revert to Danger if the commanded aspect cannot be displayed. Some installations can also cause the signal to show a more-restrictive aspect, if it is unable to show the correct aspect, minimising disruption. A dark signal must be treated as displaying the most restrictive aspect it is ordinarily capable of, which is usually Danger, and permission must be obtained on the spot to pass it (either directly over the radio or telephone, or from a stationed handsignalman).

[@CabviewHolland]

Over here, in short, if the dark signal could have been red (when the previous signal was yellow), we stop. Unless the dark signal is an automated block signal, in that case we continue on sight, max speed 40 km/h.

[@geoffreymoore1510]

Hi, Vincent. Thanks for another great ride. I am looking for Ede Wageningen that I am pretty sure is on one of your regular routes. I am keen to see if the expansion they were working on, got completed, yet. At Schipol were we running on the newly opened extra line? Glad to see the improvements at Delft, also. Not sure we went through there this time.

[@CabviewHolland]

Hi Geoffrey! Most recent video of Ede-Wageningen is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYjKap-Ar7eHaKssi=8fpxhuq4sqyWuwCI at 22:50. What extra line at Schiphol? Do you know what that purple text balloon icon with a heart in it is, next to your name?

[@remko2]

One problem, apart from the noise for the people living near it, was that below the tracks was car parking, and the rust falling down was pretty nasty for your car Also the Phoenixstraat and the viaduct impeded pedestrian traffic from the center of Delft to the west part of Delft and the whole environment was pretty inhospitable. I think the only reason they moved it underground as there was just no room for doubling the number of tracks to four. Mind you, Amsterdam and Rotterdam also have elevated rail lines running through the city (Muiderpoortstation) ... it's not so much a problem there imho

[@remko2]

And most rail lines in Tokyo like the Yamanote line are elevated and don't form as much a barrier as the line in Delft did, the city flows under and around it In Delft the problem was mainly a wide (kinda high speed) road combined with an elevated track I haven't been in Delft for years and had to check Google Street view .... to be honest, still pretty much a wide inhospitable gash for pedestrians and cyclists through the city ...

[@treinspotterdelft]

yay my city!

[@Jules_Diplopia]

The elevated track through Delft always felt a little unsafe, with the curves and such and was such a bottleneck for the rail traffic. It was quaint, but I am so pleased that they now have a modern station and I am sure that the residents next to the track are delighted. The tracks outside of my window are elevated, but on a proper embankment, in fact you just passed me on your approach to HS. I am on the forst floor and at the same elevation as the tracks.

[@CabviewHolland]

Must be a great view :-)

[@Jules_Diplopia]

@@CabviewHolland It sure is... until they park a train on the siding. Currently its an SLT, but the DDZ is the most annoying with its constant humming, followed by occassional whoosh, sounds like air brakes, and then increased electric engine whir, then hours more humming.

[@Consequator]

In regards to 'getting a new railway close to the home' A railway close to the house would really depend on the amount of traffic .. 10 trains a day is far less disturbing than 200+ trains a day and night traffic .. rail would need to be 'special' so that it has less gaps and thus less noise. Also something to reduce vibrations. The rail operator should, together with the municipality, offer free noise isolation to the houses too. But that all really depends on how close it will be. Then there's the question of freight trains and dangerous cargo.

[@CaffeinatedFingers]

I think if you can promise a walking distance rail station to residents, pitching a raised rail installation shouldn't face too much resistance.

[@bryantsanders6869]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@skodass1]

Elevated rail is a good idea if you're space constrained otherwise i would rather see either tunnel or better yet sunken rail. When it comes to Railfaning sunken rail also lets you take overhead photos/videos.

[@daanwolters3751]

Elevated rail is a lot cheaper than tunneling tough. Personally, i think sunken rail is the best of both worlds, much less disturbing for the people living there, yet still far far cheaper than tunneling. Especially in the netherlands where the ground is quite swampy. (If you sink the rail, you remove a lot of weight off the ground below it, meaning you can get away with far less foundations).

[@CrazyDivisionMusic]

mooie rit, hele intressante geschiedenis les erg leuk. en over de "elevated railway", hier in Zoetermeer heb je ze al een tijdje ;)

[@ruudvanpel5215]

Ik heb een vraag: aan het begin en aan het einde van een brug over water, en niet bij een viaduct, zie ik altijd een soort punt in het spoor. Waar is dat voor?

[@CabviewHolland]

Dat is om eventueel ontspoorde wagons op het spoor te houden. Juist bij dit soort gevaarpunten zinvol.

[@MrPeerum]

links was dat,foutje,bedankt.🤣

[@ilex471]

Ik heb zelf tussen 1980 en 1993 in het oude KPN-kantoor in Rotterdam aan de Botersloot/Binnenrotte gewerkt (20 meter van het oude treinviadukt tussen de Nieuwe Maas en het Hofplein, er zit nu o.a. een Loetje steakrestaurant in het pand) dus je zal wel begrijpen dat ik geen fan ben van stalen treinviadukten dwars door de stad. In Delft verbaasde ik me altijd dat het zo dicht op de huizen stond. Weet iemand misschien nog of er toendertijd veel oppositie tegen de bouw was?

[@CabviewHolland]

Daar ben ik ook benieuwd naar. Ik denk het niet omdat het juist de overlast van de langdurig gesloten overwegen wegnam.

[@eddys.3524]

Het valt mij op dat je na het vertrek uit Delft tot Den Haag slechts max. 90 kmh rijdt... is daar een speciale reden voor, want bijmijn weten is de trajectsnelheid daar hoger(max. 120 resp. 140)?

[@CabviewHolland]

Als ik op tijd op Den Haag aankom betekent het dat er genoeg rijtijd was tussen dt en gv om lekker zuinig te rijden. Bedenk dat te vroeg aankomen ook geldt als zijnde nìet op tijd.

[@eddys.3524]

@@CabviewHolland OK, er is dus een plausibele verklaring voor wat ik waarnam... het NS tijdschema viel echter daar buiten, blijkt uit jouw reactie. Weer wat geleerd.

[@Wizardess]

Ah, absolutely not. While I'd love the view of the trains going by it would be impossible to live here during the construction and the electrical noise would kill my other hobby, ham radio. Some years ago L and I learned that construction that involves the street that feeds our driveway makes it very interesting to get into and out of this house, particularly for things like fire equipment. In this case it was much needed storm drains. The street itself used to be a part of the US Corps of Engineers' flood control system. Yeah, "low desert" can get very wet in the rain season. With 8000'+ mountains just a few miles of down slope from your 1100' elevation home rain in those mountains get right frisky by the time they hit the flatter terrain on the way to here. It also did the nasty to the large airport a little farther downslope. So it was deemed time to fix that. They built a smallish train tunnel size storm drain down the side of the street we live on. That took a while. We came in and out via a "slippery when wet" steel plate with about 20' drops on either side. So, no elevated or tunneled trains on my street. Of course, my street runs perpendicular to any sane train route (a bit South of the former Pacific Electric tracks in the area now a walking trail.) So I doubt that would be a problem. And the closest cross streets where a train route might go are far enough away our access here would not be reduced to nearly zero. However, I get the giggles when I consider the reaction to such a build on the street to the south, old historic Route 66. Yes, that one in the movies and on TV. {^_^} Life's decisions are not always related to one issue. It would be interesting to see nice clean electric trains whooshing by outside the window nearly a football field away. BUT....

[@roboftherock]

Ah, yes. Interesting how there is always a 'But…'.

[@Wizardess]

@@roboftherock Well, in the US that "but" could involve the FCC intervention for EMI limits. The FCC's fairy godmother department might be open the day my complaint went through. Unfortunately it is only open sporadically about once a decade on a random date usually "second Tuesday next week". But if that happens the mitigation effort might cost a horrid amount. So maybe I am doing the railroad a favor by acting proactively. {O,o}{
