Prime example of 156s running under the wires from Edinburgh then branching off after kirknewton onto unelectrified section through Livingston onto glasgow
great video!!! simply beautiful scenery.....man that was straight rail for awhile! a train is a train steel on steel....it doesn't matter if it is powered by hamsters....a train is a train......5 stars
Dont talk Shite! You Cant tell just by a stupid noise in all my life! hahahaha!! I Actually had to ask my brother on that! Hes a Virgin Driver and Said "The Lads Talking Shite Mark" HAHAH!
Well you must have an Acute Hearing then, Because ALL Trains Sound the same, Nothing to do with the wheels. Its all to do with the Railway track which gives the Noise. Honesty I Cant Be Arsed having this argument with a Train Anorak that thinks he can tell what type of train it is with the noise of the wheels on track. Its... Its DAFT!
yes you can tell which train it is, if it has a ringing like sound, it will be a mk1 or mk2, if its a dull one like this it will be on air suspension like this train hes on here
@MrLamabama Diesels can still run... with diesels if theres track it will run on it! doesnt matter on electrified routes it will still run on it, say theres a branch line coming off a main line, the branch is not electrified but the mainline is, to save money the operator will run a diesel train on it. Jesus christ didnt think people were this dumb
@bronzeonion its an spt route and there trains are electric.i58 dont do spt routes so rules that out.156 are hardly used there but are on route that have no wire like glasgow central to edinburgh or the west highland lines.oh and guess what i am a train driver for scotrail
@MrLamabama Just because there is OHLE above the train doesnt mean that Diesel trains can't go under it....... where i live in East Anglia Class 170s are used on the Electrified mainline to Peterborough and Lowestoft......
@Inkyminkyzizwoz Besides the point. Weather Into Consideration, Metal will get tighter, stonger and more prone to stiffness in Snow, so it will make another noise altogether. I dont know how somebody could tell that.
Thats like saying I know what type of car that is because of the noise of the tiers on the road!
it's nothing to do with that, it's to do with the poor adhesion and the train going into a slide dosen't neccesarly mean it's been the emergency brakes, step 1 can make a train slide, so can nothing up from a station too fast!
I was planing to be pilot but it didn't work because I'm not rich and my sight is low, so I turned into trains, How beautiful it's when you drive a fast train^^
Hm. Did you take this video yourself..? My partner filmed himself in the cab before, put it on youtube and came very close to getting fired.. be careful if it is yours.
They can. Locos, carriages and wagons have traction tyres for extra grip but sometimes they can get flatspots. This is why some trains make banging noises as they pass, especially wagons. Watch the video "66057 on Horfield Bank" and you'll see what I mean.
They don't have traction tyres dude, you're thinking of model trains. Most real trains have tyres because it's much cheaper to replace an outer steel tyre (as it wears or gets damaged wih a bad flat) than the whole wheel. It has nothing to do with traction or grip. However some stock has one-piece wheels with no tyre, I think Voyagers do for example.
did you hear the 3rd beep? That's the AWS system. The first 2 mean yellow/red. The 3rd being different means the signal in front is green. Besides, this seems to be an approach signal so the driver would know it would go from yellow to green.
ah how did he know the next signal would be green?would he or she have stopped if it had been red.the train appears to carry on at same speed after single yellow!
I'm not sure about trains in Scotland, but many trains have info display, that shows engineer the track ahead with signals and so.
Usually yellow means reduced speed limit before stopping to next red. It's possible that this train was already driving about that reduced speed before the yellow, and didn't need to slow that much anymore.
It's just between Mossend & Whifflet. The second bridge you pass under is the A8 next to the old Shanks & McEwan at Carnbroe. Carnbroe on left. Rosehall on right.

Actually the train is slowing down. Also, the next signal is green, so no need to slow to a stop.
