Unveiling the Mystery: What Are These Chimneys? | Scenic Train Journey Through Holland

[@RTWest-kn5fr]

The strange objects are part of a USA-CIA sponsored Deep Black Project counting device. They wanna know how many They probably saw the YT video. as I did, on the counting problem tipoff clue... i.e. the number of passengers per day always shows an even number. Señor Cabview, you will hear different explinatios. Those Intel guys are pretty good at deception. Here it's just after midnight. I´m goin' back to sleep. RT sends, envía, Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México.

[@CabviewHolland]

I expected only you to know the right answer :-)

I just saw them, they do house total stations. So they will do automated measurements on a schedule to check for subsidence.

[@CabviewHolland]

Thanks

[@mrtnsnp]

Those objects are at 1:51:41, in the area of the connection with the Betuweroute. I have no actual clue, but I can make guesses. The whole line between the Lek river (Culemborg) and the Maas river ('s Hertogenbosch) appears to suffer from bad track conditions. This may be some monitoring equipment to make sure the track is good here. Or it is more directly related to the freight connection, but axle counters and axle temperature sensors are lower down, at axle height.

[@newsgodaz]

I thought they were weather monitors but just another beautiful video! Thanks!!

[@thbe51]

In my town we had a similar device, looks like a speedmeter for roadtraffic. It turn out that it checked for worn out phantographs of passing trains. It was mounted on a bridge.

[@CabviewHolland]

We have such installations but they are way larger. I hope of the viewers will explain.

[@theobrattinga500]

Weer een hele mooie video meester.

[@bertvanmunster]

Tijdje geleden dat ik een video heb gekeken, vandaag aar eens een lekker lange video kijken, wel gaaf dat je een hele sprinterdienst hebt van 2 uur, dat is wat. Zag inje dienstbaarheid dat het een avond dienst is, ga er van genieten. Heb vandaag toch niet veel te doen 😊❤

[@Consequator]

Just before those chimneys start there are what appear to be 'mobile' camera pods with the diagonal solar panels. Those chimneys are open and look to be recently placed, as well as they have some 'temporary' fencing. At first I thought they might be train detection for rail workers as it also appears the track has been worked on recently but there's no obvious sensor there. There's also 2 on the right and 1 on the left. Maybe they put foil under the track in the track bed and the chimneys are to vent gasses out from underneath ? Or it's not actually a chimney and it's some sort of ground water level measuring.

[@gspeed0689]

When I was riding my bike near the HSL in Rodenrijs they had automated total stations making measurements to various reflectors, and they had weather proof housings kind of like these, but these look empty.

[@frederique.michelle.louise]

A nice video, showing what appears to be a weather or CO2 monitoring beacon to the final destination 's-Hertogenbosch in Dutch, Bois le Duc in French.

[@cynthiakeyes7197]

What a beautiful ride I love when you slow down so i can see more but i know the passengers are eager to get on..lol not sure what those stacks are some kind of monitoring gases? Anyway thank you for a great ride ❤

[@bartrazin]

Zeker een lange rit mede door het stuk net na Culemborg na de niet zo geslaagde spoorvernieuwing aldaar. Wel in en in triest dat dit anno 2024 kan gebeuren het lijkt de laatste jaren wel alsof we niet weten hoe we moeten bouwen als land neem de Hsl. Wel een mooie video!

[@SpotterCrazyperson]

Mooie video

[@johnw.6758]

Ik heb altijd al treinmachinist willen zijn. Ik kijk heel graag naar jouw video's. Doet me veel denken aan mijn oom die ook treinmachinist was. Daar heb ik goede herinneringen aan over gehouden.

[@CabviewHolland]

Leuk om te horen dat je om deze reden mijn video’s kijkt. En wat houdt je tegen?

[@johnw.6758]

@@CabviewHolland Ten eerste, ik vind die video's met de aanzetgeluiden heerlijk om naar te luisteren. En ten tweede, is het nog wel mogelijk op mijn leeftijd en met mijn vooropleiding? LBO-metaal?

[@CabviewHolland]

@@johnw.6758 In mijn groepje zat destijds iemand van 52, en ik hoor wel eens verhalen van leeftijden daarboven. Je kunt op werkenbijns.nl kijken wat de eisen zijn en of er vacatures zijn. Als dat zo is kun je intern opgeleid worden.

Niks is te gek leeftijd zijn maar getallen jij kan heus wel goeie machinist worden met plezier inplaats van thuis zitten, Jij kan het man​@@johnw.6758

[@mmsmits2868]

Mooie video weer. Die palen zijn of buitenaardse afluister palen, of, omdat ze in een bocht staan, methodes om geluid en of uitstoot van metalen deeltjes van de draaiassen in de bocht te meten.

[@Demun1649]

I've seen similar near where I live. There are methane and CO2 breathers, placed on land fill sites, that prevent the build up of explosive gases.

[@TheMateriaalkunde]

Comment 9:59 Hofpleinlijn connected Scheveningen and Rotterdam, with a branch to Den Haag HS station. Not Zandvoort..

[@CabviewHolland]

Oh no.. how stupid. Of course this should be Scheveningen. Thanks for the tip!

[@TheRoadTripChannel]

I've been watching your videos and find them very pleasant 😌. I'm from the U.S. state of New Jersey. I live about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of New York City/Manhattan. I have two observations: - You have a beautiful rail system, but I can't help mentioning all the awful graffiti on buildings, columns, walls, fences that line the landscape. ☹️ Can the authorities do anything about it? 🤷‍♂️ - I noticed your country uses the Highway Gothic font from the United States Department of Transportation on its highways, roads, and I see it at train stations along the routes. 😃👍

[@CabviewHolland]

Same font? Now that you mention :-) The graffiti 'artists' are too quick to catch most of the time. But dumb enough to always use their tag or whatever they call it, so when they do get caught, it is easy to track all their offences and get fined for those too.

[@renebeltman]

1:20:53 volgens mij klopt de tijd niet in de ondertitel of er is sprake van wat tijdreizen.

[@CabviewHolland]

Ohjee.. goed gezien!

2:00 Hoe kan het dat deze SLT in 2010 is gebouwd en in 2009 in dienst is gegaan?

[@DjDaan111]

SLT is gebouwd van 2007 tot 2012, de eerste stellen zijn in 2009 in dienst gekomen.

[@CabviewHolland]

Inderdaad, her materieeltype rijdt sinds 2009 rond in de dienstregeling. Dit specifieke stel is in 2010 in dienst gegaan.

[@Kapparie]

@@DjDaan111 ik dacht het om dit specifieke SLT treinstel ging. 2009 was dus de eerste SLT.

[@Dutchclimbingtower]

Mag je als machinist muziek op via oortjes of is er een radio in de trein?

[@CabviewHolland]

Nee. Gebruik van multimedia-apparatuur is niet toegestaan tijdens het besturen van de trein.

[@mikalaybourn]

My guess would be weather stations

[@christiaanh]

Waarom was de vorige video, waar u door een rood sein reed, verwijderd?

[@SpotterCrazyperson]

De reden geef je denk ik al

[@christiaanh]

Dat zou je toch nog steeds online mogen hebben?

[@ggjscholten]

@@SpotterCrazyperson Dat signaal sprong op rood zeer kort voor de trein het signaal passeerde, dit op rood springen kwam door een seinstoring. De trein heeft daarna een stop gemaakt en is pas weer gaan rijden na overleg met met én toestemming van de verkeersleiding.

[@Zendonium]

De afhandeling van de STS riep nogal wat vraagtekens op. Waarschijnlijk heeft hij de video naar aanleiding van teveel kritiek offline gehaald. Ik heb de video nog wel even snel gedownload voordat deze offline gehaald werd :P.

[@CabviewHolland]

Ik kom hier later op terug.

[@EngelsNederfiele]

The objects trackside in the preview look possibly like laser emitting deviation sensors, used to pick up either ground movement or anomalous movements in passing trains. There would be two of them to create a 3d computerised output of the data, such that a visual analysis can be performed. Such devices have been used as temporary mobile units in geological surveys, they do not wear the same levels of protection against the elements, static devices outside need greater protection hence their chimney-like appearance. I would see them as being pollution sensors, there would be no logical benefit of putting two that close together unless they were measuring two types of pollution that cannot be monitored within the same enclosure due to negative interaction between sensors. From a distance, as seen, a rake of ICM rijtuig 'top-n-tailed' by a couple of in livery Traxx is very impressive!

[@CabviewHolland]

Sounds plausible! Where do you see those ICMs?

[@mrtnsnp]

@@CabviewHolland The train on the HSL enters the picture @19:08

[@Keikdv]

04:35 reconstruction of the Vorburg stop was to bring it up from ground level (at the right) to eliminate crossings and a bridge (at the 06:16 spot) that needed to be open for boats. The tram tracks are not in use anymore... Utrecht Lunetten (1:13:08): The former stop (around 1:12:40) was a strange one: it could only be used by travellers to transfer between trains of different companies. It had NO streetconnection! Why they are now stop so far away from the tunnel (see the man at 1:14:00 run), I still don't know... (not to remember: I live in Lunetten but still a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes by bike to/from my appartment)

[@gwnlars_8306]

Oh die zijn zeker wel in gebruik, vervangend vervoer en minstens eenmaal per week de Hoftrammm. Er liggen plannen om weer een tram naar Voorburg te laten rijden.

[@CabviewHolland]

I think that trains stop so far away from the exit at Lunetten to avoid congestion near that exit.

[@aleksandersmirnow2157]

These things are weather stations. They monitor the level of moisture evaporation, humidity and pressure, as well as the degree of glaciation in winter. The strange thing is that there are few of them in a country like the Netherlands. By the way, if they had been installed on the HSL about 10 years ago, and the repair indicators had been taken on time, your rails would not have fallen apart

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

These Dutch railways are so much better than here in the U.K. - I just wish that our railways were of this high standard, yet we have very poor standard rail infrastructure, constant industrial action, our trains don’t run on time and train fares are so expensive - then we had the failure of HS2

[@Wizardess]

How did Den Hague pick up the call sign Gvc? (I am giggly at the moment. I just had a "pollster" call me on the phone. "Don't worry, this is about politics." I replied, "Ah, as in Poly meaning many and ticks little flying bugs that feast of you, right." She hung up. Junk phone calls draw out the worst in me. {^_-}) Your signaling problems on this trip prompts me to wonder what has happened for NS from the CrowdStrike induced outages in the US. 1:41:40 - had to look it up, NightJet sleeper trains for long trips across Europe. That was the older style, right? {^_^}

[@CabviewHolland]

Haha! Gvc: The Hague has two names. Den Haag and ‘s-Gravenhage. Gvc is based on ‘s-Gravenhage, the c stands for Centraal.

[@Kromaatikse]

You said "chimneys" rather than "towers" or anything else. It does look as though they are venting something underground. But it's not immediately clear what!

[@snah99]

VIRM of SLT ??

[@CabviewHolland]

Ja, goed gezien, aangepast :-)

[@kevinmottram9491]

I think you have Hobbits living in your embankments, and those are their chimneys.😀

[@MofoMan2000]

When you do that shot of the train saying "my ride", you should do some editing to make it look like the train has some crazy hydraulics and other gangsta nonsense.

[@CabviewHolland]

If I had the animation skills :-)

[@ThatRoadrunner]

[@MofoMan2000]

Could those chimneys be from old bomb shelters left over from WWII?

[@CabviewHolland]

They were placed recently. WWII shelters can be found near the tracks, especially near bridges.
