As an old born and raised Chicagoan now living half-a-century in Germany, I surely appreciate seeing electric rail lines in the US. But I was only acquainted with them personally in Chicago and vicinity, and I only recognized the South Shore Line and some Metras; all the others and their localities I'd not seen before. I was especially mystified with the way some of them went down the middle of residential streets with their 3-4 chime air horns in full cry (I grew up with them, so they're in my blood, but the neighborhoods must cry the blues!), and where in the wide-open countryside those electric freights were. As someone else remarked here, Germany is far in advance of the USA in this respect, although Germany is universally in bad need of repair. JAT

@SeverityOne7 жыл бұрын
"Thank you for being supportive and not making fun of us like other Europeans" To me (as a European), it's probably some sort of inferiority complex. "Hey, you do almost everything better than we, but at least we have better trains!" Or something of the sort. 😉 You cannot really compare railways in the USA to those in Europe. The 1435 mm width (forgot what it is in feet and inches) is about the only thing they have in common. You can sail around Europe (there are seas to the south, the west and the north), you can sail through Europe (major rivers go from the North Sea to the Black Sea), so a lot of cargo is moved by ship. Also, railway companies are still largely state-owned, and their cargo divisions used to be inefficient, so either they collapsed or got bought by Deutsche Bahn Cargo, which is now a very large world-wide transport company. State ownership also means that the state can decide to build high-speed railways with taxpayers' money. They /do/ have economic benefits, as can be witnessed by the economic region created between Denmark and Sweden with the Øresund bridge and tunnel, but using the word "tax" in the USA and not putting "lower" immediately before it, means that your political career has come to an end. Then there are the distances in the USA. Electrification is expensive, and the USA is a /really/ large country. Having said that, the Russians have completely electrified the Trans-Siberian Railway, and that is considerably longer than the longest possible distance in the lower 48. But again, state ownership. Finally, freight will always take precedence over passenger traffic in the USA. In Europe, it's the other way around, except on dedicated freight routes, such as the one going from Rottterdam in the Netherlands to Germany. The result is low passenger numbers. It's a bit comparing apples to oranges, because Amtrak is largely for long distances, but Amtrak, supposedly serving a country of over 300 million people, has just over 30 million passengers a year. CFL, the Luxembourg railway company, a country of just half a million people, has just over 20 million passengers a year.
@jamesbensch67 жыл бұрын
digimaks I don't live in the US but I do know that their passenger service is owned by the government. In the 70s they amalgamated all of the private companies into the government owned entity called Amtrak. The regional governments also set up their own commuter/regional brails lines too. Like Amtrak, they are owned by some form of government. The UK on the other hand has actually privatized all of their railways and now they're owned by a mish mash of private companies. I'm originally from the UK and have experience with British trains. As far as the US needing a long way to go to match Europe railroads, I will give you that one. The US is substantially behind
@ericjamieson6 жыл бұрын
Most of what little electrified lines we have in the US are owned or controlled by some govt or quasi-govt agency, whether it's Amtrak or a local commuter rail agency. However the vast majority of the US rail network is owned by private companies, and there is little incentive for them to electrify, since they'd end up paying higher property taxes since electrification is considered an asset. In fact several North American mainlines have been de-electrified since WWII since selling off the copper and reducing property taxes made too much economic sense. Black Mesa and Lake Powell is sort of an exception since it exists purely to haul coal to a huge power station, so there's a ton of cheap electricity available and it's in an area where hauling in diesel is fairly expensive. In Europe the tax issue doesn't arise since most of the rail infrastructure is owned in some way shape or form by the government. If the US govt every took it into its head to make rail electrification tax-exempt, you might see a lot more of it.

This video was a welcome diversion from the North American diesel hauled freight railroad, and gives a good overview of different railroads that are active in passenger transport and the types of locomotives, trains and DMUs they operate (sadly the ASEA locomotives are history). The film makes clear to me, as an European, that at least the most populated part of the whole of the US in the North East has a passenger rail transport system that looks to what we are used to over here, trains running very frequent with good average speeds for the type of service they are operating in. In freight operations electrics are more an oddity now, local operations like the Iowa Traction, or specialized operations like the NdeM (was this formerly known as the Mesa Railroad?) coal trains. A very positive comment can be made about the stations along these passenger lines, they are very welcoming looking places without the ugliness of many stations and halts in paticularly the UK, with an overkill of adverts, bright colors and ugly 1950's and 60's buildings looking rundown, your stations instead have a very calming visual impact with nice architecture and toned down colors. Liked that part of street running, looked like a streetcar on steroids!

MS&T Subway & Rail Videos + Right electrifying Busy lines or coal lines will allow higher horsepower locomotives on to trains csx should consider electrifying the pope’s creek branch it carries heavy coal loads and passes on the NEC which is electric.

Possibly, I will have to review the footage. If I did, it should be in this video.

It's possible but as of right now, probably not. I try to use all my original material for Train Talk and since they no longer exist, it may be difficult to get enough material for a video on them.
@CoasterFan21057 жыл бұрын
Well, it's not a train talk, but I do have a full "AEM-7 Farewell" video I did last year that is kind of like a longer version of Train Talk.
