[bask185]

where stand bst for from the blue one

[SisterhoneyTS]

1:11, it looks like they were kissing; train porn?

[nik418]

Amazing train, fantastic soundtrack - makes current uk trains seem outmoded!! Great video too

!

[krakenwave]

The most epic train ever.

Thank you, execbase, for putting together this wonderful film.

[MS407]

Is this hydraulic?Thanks a lot

[stromajerradek]

Beatufull train .. nick name Dolphin

[tommyderhund]

Eternal masterpiece.

[ohneEisen]

Okay, kein Film, dafür ein Feuerwerk an Bildern.

[MsTexas73]

This song and the line dance was a Cleveland staple.

[takeit2thelab]

@MsTexas73 i from medina, oh.......this song/dance was a sat night must!



[MsTexas73]

@takeit2thelab U know it!

[razvanlaurm]

Trip by train is very interesting in Romania.

[Jens010761]

I love the music and enjoy the best pictures of TEE ever seen....

[SimonRaahauge1973]

What an era! I hope that international trainservices will return to Europe!

[asilviooo]

@SimonRaahauge1973 I suspect that there are more international trains now than there were in the TEE era

[pingpongpung]

@KeeleyHalinafb826 FUCK YOU STUPID SPAMBOT!!!!

[TheMaceymacreary]

Salt Lake CIty, Utah has enough train tracks they should really do this for the state !

[SimonRaahauge1973]

@TheMaceymacreary trains are safer than planes and more comfortable than cars! But they require a wast number of travellers to fund them!

[Furrydandy]

TEE ... a myth that will never die ... most stylish ever train ...

[pacopichi]

sehr schöne Bilder, leider stört die Musik.

[fishybishbash]

@TheCleaner001 WHAT?! Kraftwerk crass? Get an education

[luckyowl249]

He is the uncrowned king; many thanks!

[LadyVLR]

Beautiful!

[alfajet777]

Przepiękna maszyna

[extremeSHADOW199]

jeder ist schöner als der andere :D ich würde echt gerne in der zeit leben in der, der TEE noch fährt... hab es leider nie mitbekommen... (bin 15)

[ralphcraddock]

top video for a great train.

[diegobras]

Trains are so very awesome, danke execbase!

[chiccawhite]

13 peoples don't love trains....

[BF6ct]

Will the TEE ever come back?

[Dokker62]

@BF6ct Probably not. After relegating one stock of VT 11.5´s into operable status was aborted in 2005 due to rising costs most cars and spare parts were scrapped by Deutsche Bahn rail museum - just a scandal ! Only one and a half stocks and a single power car are left in static exhibits today.

[PrekiFromPoland]

@Dokker62 - that's very sad! I've seen photos of one unit as a special train from Köln to Kaliningrad via Polish part of so-called "Ostbahn". Is that unit you've mentioned?

[Dokker62]

@PrekiFromPoland Yes, this stock was Deutsche Bundesbahn's historic VT 11.5 unit using the power cars 601 014-4 and 601 019-3. It quit running passenger charters in 1999 and sadly later on went into inoperable status.

[Gluchina]

In the last frame I saw the tragedy of this idea, but this train....

[Gluchina]

Without any words...

Just feel emotions...



[tigrius]

Conserning yhe name of the video, It is BR601 not VT, VT stands for Verbrenungs triebzug - Train with combustion engine!

[DerLokVogel]

Super Video super Train, I hope the Velaro (Br 407) will be also famous at once and somebody writes a song of it.

[Roweiblueser]

Sensationelle Zusammenstellung und sogar im Takt der Musik. Klasse gemacht. 5 Sterne dafür.

Gruß

R.

[EMDSD14R]

i like this vid..great job on it....i have the TEE in my ICE train series on my page... check them series out sometime

[luckyowl249]

Dieser unglaublich elegante Zug hat eine Hommage mehr als verdient. DANKE!

[killandy572]

THATS MUZIK. killandy572

[lunupe83]

Can someone tell me how long ago when the T.E.E. was in operation?? Must have been an incredible diesel train and an awesome experience to travel across Europe...

[JensMarquardt]

@lunupe83

The TEE era ended in 1987. From 1977-1979 I travelled sometimes with this train. Awesome experience.:)

[lunupe83]

@JensMarquardt wow! thanks for sharing! I first heard the track in '77 when I was in high school, didn't really know much about Kraftwerk let alone a real train that traveled across Europe.. wow!!

[tigrius]

@JensMarquardt the BR601 era ended in 1967 with introduction of E01(BR103) electric locomotive and little by little the BR601 started to be forgotten!

[JensMarquardt]

@tigrius

I referred to the TEE era in general, with its special trains.This era was from 1957-1987 and was replaced by the EuroCity.

[pablof59]

Can't find anywhere VT 602 videos...:-(

[toonmag50]

love Kraftwork-the locomotive looks like it has passenger accomadation within its body-why was this.? Locomotives look much better as the machine-not as a seat

[Collinss525]

What's the name of the song?

[krakenwave]

@Collinss525

Trans Europa Express (its like a tribute song) by Kraftwerk

(Please please don't tell me you don't know who Kraftwerk are because I'll cry).

[Collinss525]

@krakenwave I know Kraftwerk don't cry)

[krakenwave]

@Collinss525

(dries her eyes and cheers up)

[cyberOwwwOecho]

I loved this trains when I was a Child. Wating on the rail platform and this characteristic vehicle running in. I couldn't await traveling through Germany with the VT11.5.

[Hansepans68]

@Koplopermau Het lijkt er in ieder geval verdacht veel op dat deze foto op het traject Lunteren-Barneveld is genomen.

[sUpErShIeFbOy]

where are the fotos made on 1:01 and 3:51

and the foto on 10:15 was the train in service

or did it go to the scrapyard cause its really sad to destroy such a awesome train!

[fredfoster100]

WE DONT ask

[KoploperMau]

5:55 - Is that "De Kippenlijn" in Holland?

[Galacticmaster]

i must say that i had a little train book, very old one

and i much prefered the really old diesels, they look really shiny and almost mystical the way they were shaped,

todays diesels seem dirty and boring - still ok to look at and watch, but the early diesels were like steam locos except without the steam but with the plating and heavy duty metal used

[mormel76]

If those trains were still around I would even had a good reason to go by train.

[mariosapm]

magic....

[megatwingo]

Schönes Video. Daumen hoch! :)

[Duncan038]

was this diesel of gas turbine?

[adtonko]

@Duncan038 BR601 was the one with a Dieselengine (1100 PS), the BR602 was the one with the gasturbine with 2200 PS. In the Vid they are mixed

[Duncan038]

@adtonko Ahh ok thanks for the information!

[luccaopa]

Auch auf meiner Eisenbahnanlage schön anzusehen! also nice to look at my railway system! 5*

[josecarlosfarina]

Wou!...LOve. Beautiful. bom. good .i like. i have movie trains in Youtube. Digite "Train farina".

[buhlw]

O weh, ab 10:21 Der Lack ist sehr blass geworden, alt und ausgedient auf's Abstellgleis gestellt. Bereitgestellt zum verschrotten. Ich habe ihn auch kennengelernt diesen TEE. Sie sah schon sehr bullig aus die Lok.

[BF6ct]

Now this is a smooth jam!

[luckyowl249]

Many thanks: One of the most beautiful trains ever!

[diegpiz]

Me gustaria saber q paso con todas estas formaciones, si fueron al desarmadero o fueron todas restauradas a parar a un museo ferroviario ahi por Berlin o alguna ciudad importante de Alemania

[klippspringer]

naja, das ding war schon ein gewaltiger stinker.

was da heute als nostalgie durchgeht war damals aber nur das vorzeigeprodukt einer durchgeknallten konsumgesellschaft. wer morgens mit dem nahverkehrszug zur arbeit musste und wegen nem TEE mal wieder irgendwo in der pampa warten musste, bis der durch war, der hat das gerät gehasst.

aber egal, die lok ist ein gutes beispiel dafür, dass fett und gutaussehend auch locker zusammenpassen kann.

[pablof59]

It's amazing that only 5 years after the war ended a German train was crossing former enemies frontiers. Time heals quickly, they say.

[Taurus717]

TEE war'n super zug  schade dass es ihn nicht mehr gibt...

[iamaraincloud]

Mein lords!!!

[granskare]

I recall these from 1959-60 when I was in Germany...I never used them but I remember that they were really big...

[pablof59]

Is there any video on the web of a gas turbine vt602 ?

[handyproll999]

super viedeo aber die letzten bilder zu schade um den schönen triebwagen

[Gian2812]

I treni TEE sono stati una classe elitaria di treni che viaggiavano in tutta Europa; purtroppo treni come questi non se fanno più. Ci sono treni veloci e confortevoli ma come i TEE non c'è più nulla, purtroppo. Grazie per il video fotografico.

TEE trains were an elite class of trains that traveled throughout Europe. Actually there are fast and comfortable trains, but like TEE nothing, unfortunately. Thanks for the video. Gian

[Abschluss2014]

das letzte bild is traurig der schöne vt 11.5

[Deftoneskid1]

Wow video did just like when I was a very young MESMORIZED ME!!! I will never stop playing KWerk ... Great better understanding on the TEE!!

[tigersim303]

We shall never see their like again :(

[tieknul]

Very nice pictures! Thanks a lot!

[theonlyhalo]

lol

[sUpErShIeFbOy]

I LOVE THIS TRAIN

TEE FOREVER!!!!

[lslavychecker]

LOVE THE CONFORT ON TRAINS...

[XxBec3509]

cool vid 5*s

[MERCATOR68]

Super Musik for these wonderful pictures one train is in the station oh Hamm for restoration. Thanks for this event

[sonofthedestroyer]

SSu!

[Grzesiusiu]

Great music and great train. Thanks!

[Santana2163]

1:08, where is that song taken from in a movie? I know I heard it on a movie somewhere...

[GermanBarca]

I know, that there is a TEE Train ar Verkehrsmuseum Nuremberg

[SrRailes]

Hello, Can you tell me how many trains of this class were manufactured? Is posible to visit one of this trains at any museum?

Dis this train roll only al Germany or it was used for international services (TEE were usually international)

This train is amazing. Where can I find more information? Please, in english or french, I can't speak or read german.

Thank you

[jolf1245]

Hat sich doch glatt ein 602 dazwischengeschummelt.... ;)

[jolf1245]

Nein, ein Zug der nicht lokbespannt ist kann entweder selber ein Triebwagen sein, wie z.B. ein Schienebus oder GTW, oder es ist wie hier im Bild ein Triebzug der an jedem Ende einen Triebkopf hat. Das ist auch beim ICE1 so, andere Triebzüge wiederum haben keine Triebköpfe sondern die Antriebsachsen sind im ganzen Zug verteilt, wie z.B. bei der Baureihe 420.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

OLD TRAINS are THE BEST-Those STEAM TRAINS are best classics

[richterswil56]

TEE will return

[riefi66]

I hope so ;)

[granskare]

I was always impressed by them in them stations but I don't think I used them...the DDR Vindobona was the closed thing I recall, in 1975

[krakenwave]

4.49 - beautiful

[tgv3000]

Cette vidéo est vraiment magnifique...tous ces beaux trains...

[elilove6]

let us all thank him for kraftwerk

[Jean793]

what's the name of the song in backgroud?

[Schenker1067]

Trans Europe Express von KRAFTWERK

[Jean793]

Thanks Schenker1067!! I have a question..... At DB museum in Nuremberg they have this Tee?

[josecarlosfarina]

this is movie is the best. good. i like. i loved.

i have movies in the trains in de Brazil. see.

[ufn489]

I guess that you could say that TEE was forerunner to Britains 125 Intercity and Australias XPT and others as well cos of power cars fore and aft etc.

[turi25birre]

bel video qst treno era in esposizione a cuneo nel lontano 1990

[technik56]

I love these TEE-trains. And I love also the background-music you used.

[whokidd112]

this is the skate at partys

[ichtl]

Wie fuhr dieses rückwarts?

[Incredimail]

an beiden enden ist ein führerhaus von dem gesteuert werden kann

[lunupe83]

Wow! what was that like to ride on this train?? I first heard the song back in 1977 so when did they retire the T.E.E?

[rosjerp]

Great train, I worked on it as restaurant staff (in kitchen), Based on Zurcih (SBB) we used to go from Zurich to Milan every day and return

[palomino73]

@rosjerp

Lucky you..., I hope you enjoyed it !!!

[zombiesonacid]

one of the most strangest looking loco's in history! Had no idea what they were called untill now. Classic record over the top btw!

[donat1964]

danke für das tolle video und diese erinnerung und wie bitter was man jetzt an dehn bahnhöfen sehen muss!!!

[agebee]

Was für ein wunderbares Video!

[miamisunkrokodile]

The most beautiful train ever - and a masterpiece of early elektronik music!

Great Video

[trenoking]

Bravo! This is awesome! Sad ending yes, but superb tribute to this memorable train. Thanks!

[Treldman]

I wish TEE was still here

[Kartoshka1978]

What a tragic ending of this video. It is sad

[vega2ooo]

The danish railways (DSB) used to have them in the ´7o-´80. I think they were sold to Poland

[PrekiFromPoland]

Yep, they were sold do LKR, a local private company. In 1993 LKR bankrupted, and those trainsets were scrapped :(

[steamy1225]

Where did you get the images? I like to know if you don't mind. i want to use them as my desktop pics.

[Treldman]

You can google them most likely

[gaycowboy31]

I allways wondered what the DB on the front stood for your explination in the top of the video explaind it thanks

[steamy1225]

Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB).

[gaycowboy31]

thanks yah I see that here in the video I actully ment in the past I had seen the DB before on models and other Europian railroad related items this and DR I have a video on the Harz Mountain railway that mentioned the DR...I appreciate you comment and comeback on it

[mjarail]

Please correct me if I am wrong, but are the trains retired from service?

[ShubYoggoth]

Yep. The TEE was retired the engines when they retired the TEE service in 1984.

[HarniCubaClub]

Dieser Zug ist legendär und wunderschön....... Für mich das mit Abstand schönste Schienenfahrzeug, das die Bahn jemals eingesetzt hat............

[roadworms]

Schöne Diashow über eines der schönsten Fahrzeuge, was je auf Schienen unterwegs war. Leider hatte ich selbst nie das Vergnügen mitzufahren ...

In Hamm/Westf. stand bis vor ein paar Jahren eine Garnitur. Es hat mir jedesmal beim Vorbeifahren einen Stich versetzt, dass Vandalen selbst vor so einem wunderbaren Museumsstück keinen Respekt haben und es mit Schmierereien versauen.

[palomino73]

@roadworms

Ich habe diese Garnitur im Vorbeifahren auch des öfteren gesehen..., und wenn ich solche Schmierfinken auf frischer Tat erwische würde, bekämen sie selber eine Kostprobe ihres Lacks ins Gesicht, mindestens !

[rheinklangmeister]

Ein komplettes Exemplar steht im Deutschen Eisenbahn Museum in Nürnberg. Wurde bis vor 3 Jahren detailgetreu und in Handarbeit für einen Wahnsinnsbetrag bis knapp zur Hälfte restauriert, bis die Bahn meinte sie habe jetzt kein Geld mehr für dieses Projekt !!!

[miamisunkrokodile]

Das ist für mich der Zug der Züge!

Welcher andere kommt an dieses Design heran?

[thelegendeofzelda]

Dieser Zug ist eine legende,legende auf schienen!

[rammergramps]

wow and great music as well

[PBallroomBlitzK]

phantastisch !!!!!! dieser Super-zug traf ich vor 15 Jahre auf 'm Bahnhof von Winterberg, in der Schnee! Das Photo prominent an der Wand. Thnx for posting

Paul-Rotterdam

[elefou]

Such a beautiful train...

[ka8b800]

Super Bilder vom ästhetischtem Triebwagen der Welt, dazu die passende Musik von Kraftwerk.

Was will man mehr ?

[Dannyder7]

Super bilder

[cin3maphiliac]

Sehr gut!

[josecarlosfarina]

Very goog. I like. Nice. Beautiful. I have moives of the trains.

[josecarlosfarina]

Veri good. I like. Beautiful. Confratulations of the BRASIL. I have movies of the trains.

[Clerence1969]

Weiß hier jemand, ob die Fahrzeuge aktuell noch existieren, und wenn ja, wo und in welchem Zustand? Meine letzen (schon älteren) Infos, entsprechen leider den letzten Bildern im Video...

[spur1freund]

In Nürnberg stand vor einigen Jahren noch ein Triebkopf im Museum

[Clerence1969]

Stand? Ist davon auszugehen, daß der (wie leider vieles andere Wertvolle) auch den Flammentod gestorben ist?

Dieser Zug war echt eines der "Paradepferde" der Bundesbahn...

Es ist bedauerlich, daß die DB AG sich so "stiefmütterlich" um diese Vergangenheit kümmert (siehe z.B. auch ET 403), sondern nur noch nach dem schnöden Mammon giert (Strecken: Stillgelegt - Fahrplantakt: Ausgedünnt - Service: Katastrophal.... - Preise: Higher and Higher...)

[BKo679]

Der VT11.5 ist in Nürnberg nicht verbrannt. Er exestiert noch, auch der 602 Turbinentriebkopf ist dort noch vorhanden.

Auch der ehemalige Max Liebermann exestiert noch und er fährt sogar. Er heißt jetzt nur Blue Star Train.

In Italien sollen noch ein paar rumstehen und vor sich hingammeln.

[Hecht103]

Wirklich, ein geiler Streifen, danke!

Eckehard Lüdke, Grünstadt

[romeropablo]

IMPRESSIVE Video: the lastest images are so sad, with the machine abandoned. It's a real museum piece. Does TEE exist today?

[rafalexpx]

Kraftwerk rules!!!

[agebee]

TOLL!2 Dinge die ich mag in einem Video!Kraftwerk und den legenären TEE!Herlich!

[dietra6]

Ästhetik in Reinkultur!!! Ich habe diesen wunderbaren Zug immer wieder gesehen un d bin auch heute noch von ihm fasziniert. An den VT 11.5 kommt auch heute kein Zug ran und sei er auch noch so schnell. Sicherlich waren auch die schweizerisch/niederländischen RAms auch sehenswert, doch dieser ist das Nonplusultra.

Die Bilder sind klasse!!!

[lunupe83]

Awesome! I love this song. First the heard the original version in 1977 in HS. Kraftwerk influenced a lot of artists!!

[plizsnow]

Awsome pictures kraftwerk rules electronic music.

[emelar75]

great video. i wish i could get a diesel logo

[wolframkoegler]

Volle Punktzahl für dieses super Sammelsurium des legendären VT 601. Glücklicherweise konnte ich ihn gelegentlich noch im TEE Einsatz sehen. Die Abschiedsbilder schmerzen, sind aber Realität. Vielen Dank für die große Mühe.

[DardanellesBy108]

This is outstanding, you did a wonderful job with the photos and this is my favorite Kraftwerk tract.

[Kuramochi0214]

Super!

Thank you for posting.

But I didnt wante to watch some photos in the ending.

Once I took the Praedident IC with this great diesel unit...

from Japan

[Brotherman7]

Good pictures depecting the life of the locomotive. Well done.

[Brotherman7]

Neo, I believe.

[CLR600]

Ah ok, well I do know an organisation here in Holland rebought an other TEE train known as the RAm, they're planning to bring it back to it's base since it got customized for the Northlander railway.

[CLR600]

Are the units still in service? Awesome vid btw.

[execbase]

No, I don't think so. There's one working unit left, but just as a historic train.

[JmsDrkx]

i love the German engineering

[ShiningDragon79]

And why? You just want to spam? Idiot. -.-

[hellsbeagle]

If you are so smart figure it out for yourself, bitch.

[2006highlander]

Very Nice, photos & the music!

[Eremita68]

the blue variant of TEE called BST - what is it???

[mureseanu976]

Blue Star Train...
