Nice ride, especially through the mountains and tunnels.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

This is one of my favorite rail trips, it's nice to see the line from the cab, thanks for posting.

Je me rappelle que dans les années 70 je m'étais rendu de Sofia a Florina,via Thessaloniki.j'arrive au quai de départ,le wagon grec se trouvait juste derrière la locomotive (à vapeur !),un contrôleur des BDZ se trouvait au bas du wagon et a bien vérifié que j'avais bien un titre de transport pour au-delà de la frontière.Nous n'étions que 2 ou. 3 ans ce wagon,qui était isolé du reste du convoi,on ne pouvait pas aller plus loin que ce wagon.Les autres voyageurs étaient entassés comme des sardines dans les 4 ou 5 wagons qui suivaient. Arrivés à Kulata nous avons attendu au moins 2 heures en plein soleil.Les douaniers et la police sont passés,une petite locomotive à vapeur grecque s'est accrochée au wagon et nous a emmené en Grèce.Arrivés à Promachon,notre wagon a été accroché à un train qui venait d'Istanbul et le voyage a continué. Les contrôles étaient très sévères,c'était sous le régime des colonels,le militaire voulait voir ce que j'avais enregistré sur mon magnétophone,ce n'était que de la musique folk bulgare.

I have added this video to the playlist 'long cab rides'. I have reviewed hundreds of cab ride videos and added the ones I think are the best.

[@martinmanolov4427]

Мечтата ми е да стана помощник машинист някой ден.

[@DaveK183]

6:06 wow.

[@lewisdoherty7621]

I wonder what the grade is? It looks quite steep. Going up it looks like it would be a struggle. Going down it looks terrifying.

[@maciekpowaga6317]

As everywhere - the railway in the mountains is the most beautiful 🚞. Such an observation - in the Balkans at many stations there are no plaques with the name of the town at all. This for a tourist can be a big obstacle. 🤔 Thanks for the beautiful trip.

[@RositsaPetrovarjp7]

not true. all have names. they are just not visible on arrival

[@Cockroach2008]

What do they do at the new underpass at 4:00? Build up enough forward momentum & coast through the unpowered section? What is with those dark brown ties at those intervals? Do they remove the ballast from locations where a rail joint is made? Sure is good they got rid of the steam power that used to move up & down the tracks here 60 years ago. Electrification is much cleaner. Looks like a fairly smooth ride.

[@alexbarac]

I think that you're right, even though it seems that the brakes are activated before the underpass. The same tactic is used in Romania near Arad, where a railroad crosses a tram track and, since the power line for the tram is lower than the one for the train, the locomotive is required to lower its pantograph until it passes the tram track. Those are actually wooden sleepers, they provide a more elastic fixation base for the joints on the ends of the track segments, when the tracks are subject to the thermal dilatation during summer and compression during winter.

[@tubarata_na_val]

Cockroach The section is unpowered for safety measures because Struma highway is still under construction, you can see the trucks moving above.

[@Cockroach2008]

Val Atnv They use forward momentum to "roll" through? Most systems, remove the power completely & the coaches go into emergency stop! Unusual & different!

[@pega17pl]

+Cockroach To roll without electric power was (is?) usual at changing electricity network. E.g. at Austria-Italia border at Brenner pass.

[@Cockroach2008]

+pega17pl That is about 400 meters without power! Normally when doing so, these machines use adaptive cross phasing transition power control for those coaches having a pantograph mounted on them! The break without power is usually less than 2 meters. On the newer equipment, if the power is removed for anything more than 7 seconds, the brakes are automatically applied for it is detected as an "off the rails", (OTR) & "not under the centenary" (NUTC) condition which would be a "wreck state" for the controllers! In this condition, brakes are applied & not removed until the equipment is power applied again & goes through a complete startup process again which can take as long as 120 seconds.

В Кресна трябва да сложат противошумни огради.

На минута 4 защо няма контактна мрежа под моста???????

[@jeanmariezzombory6202]

Surtout que les conducteurs n'oublient pas de nettoyer les pare-brise,c'est très désagréable de voir d'énormes traces d'insectes écrasés sur les vitres... Merci,

[@joannemack4674]

? locomotive class - 46 ? Thanks.

[@antonandonov2652]

No, that loco is class 44 or 45 😁

[@Dimo_Dimchev]

Много хубаво клипче, браво! Ако съдя за времето за което изминава 200м излиза че се е движил със 180 на 25тата минута

[@antonandonov2652]

Mисля че всички Шкоди са ограничени до не повече от 130 км/ч.

[@georgigoranov4445]

Какво беше това спиране на Симитли за 10 секунди хаха

[@user-cn7dn6ii9f]

Каква е скоростта?

[@TC-Rail]

95 км/ч отначало, след това 90 км/ч, 70 км/ч и накрая 75 км/ч

[@dvdvideo1234]

Защо е само една линия ?

[@victor_sr5]

Еднопътна линия просто, може би..

[@user-fu8ft6fs3c]

м-да!прикольно контактной сети под путепроводом нет!

[@kg99ism]

Ето наверное что то временное.

[@vladkoomarko4845]

ама само как набира скорост а направо велико
