India has every gauge in this video and Standard Gauge high speed rail is in construction ❤ btw informative video

Good video. One more (9th on your list) usage of tracks is to aid signaling. tracks are segmented electrically. One rail carries a low voltage while the other rail is grounded. The axles of the train using that segment short-circuit the rails and causing a relay to trip and indicate the presence of a train on that rail segment. Please correct me but I think they are being replaced by axle counters. Thanks.

I like the way the thumbnail doesnt even have the flag of the country that came up with standard gauge

can you get off and explore the city?

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲

I didn't know this. Thank you. ☮

Guard rails are provided on bridges and other vulnerable locations to prevent derailed vehicles from hitting nearby structures and falling off. Also they give stability to the track over the girders. Check rails are provided on sharp curves along with the inner running rail to prevent derailment. Also they are provided in level crossings for flangeway clearance. On certain bridges on sharp curves both guard and check rails are used.

When you look at the pictures of train derailments and accidents it is indeed doubtful if these check rails / guard rails (by whatever name you call them) serve the purpose they are there for (to prevent wheels from slipping laterally). In many an accident the bogies / trucks have entirely flown off the rail. The wheels are lying several meters away from the rail. I think the check rails only help to keep the sleepers firmly below the rails (or conversely the rails on the sleepers) at the turnings and on bridges so that the sleepers and rails do not move laterally due to the centripetal force generated by the trains at the curves. I find it hard to imagine that they are there for the same function at road level crossings also. Now carefully look at the stretch of rail in a bridge (@2:21 where a lineman is inspecting the rails) in addition to the check rails there are other serrated structures running on both sides of the rails. The rails are so heavily secured that the purpose of the check rails clearly seems to be to provide additional lateral stability to the rails in the bridges.

You could also argue that the additional rails stabilise the position of the sleepers, giving additional strength to the track and helping to reduce the chances of buckling and movement.

Philippines uses Narrow Gauge, but we also use Standard Gauge for our metros.

I think countries with a lot of mountain always have narrow gauge.. indonesia is narrow gauge too

Rzd is blocked

5:10 How did you get this image?

Thanks❤

Yet Americans Finds A way to Overlap the standard gauge rails with 11ft wide locomotives.

Hi Branco, can you explain to me, how to buy ticket online? I am planning to travel from Ulan Bator to Moscow by train. Thanks!

You forgot in Spain (and other European countries) we have trains with bogies with variable gauge sizes, where at "slow speed" (10kmh), you can switch between them.

Argentina we have 4 different gauge. 750mm., 1000mm., 1435mm. and 1676mm.

link is broken :(

Australia has three different track gauges - Irish Broad Gauge at 1600 mm - Standard Gauge at 1435 mm - Narrow Gauge at 1067 mm

THANKYOU FROM VANCOUVER, CANADA...ALL THE BEST...🙏

Sweden has had a high speed train derailment

Traveling on this train will be the best trip ever. Such beautiful scenery. Wonderful video. I want to be friends😀😀👍👍

9:04 I finally know what this is from

If you say that narrow gauge is not very efficient, why do some countries still used it, even develop it as their main line gauge. The example is my country, narrow gauge track has been developed through years & now developing for the high speed 160km/h for narrow gauge track. Maybe the efficient point for some countries is different. For my country standard gauge is the most not efficient due to lack of all resources.

Fun fact - Train gauge widths are originally defined by 2 horses asses. As the width of two horses that pulled carts (I believe in Rome) was the standard charter, and the grpup of people that designed the carts, designed the original trams. So they just used the same axel width.. and therefore the tram gauge width was the width of what 2 horses could pull. Don't believe me. - just goole it

Good piece of information 👍

Irish Gauge (1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in)) in Ireland and Victoria.

India also has many track gauge

Then there’s Australia with narrow, standard and broad gauges. It differs by state.

Now I know

In the former russian empire the 5-feet gauge (1524/1520 mm) came from Confederative States of America, before their fail in the American Civil War. After win of the Northern States all US railroads were converted into Stephenson gauge :-).

Crazy that a German train from Siemens drive in Turkey

The German Train is NOT called ICE like the ice you can eat in summer.... you should spell it I C E (InterCityExpress)

Seriously japan is the best and most safest country I never heard any Japanese shinkansen accident. Hat's off to Japanese government

Why not trains with variable guage chassis?

It's not just track gauge, that's only part of it loading gauge is the main problem as trains may be the same gauge, but cannot run on all tracks of the same gauge. Loading gauge however means weights and clearances the trains can pass, past platforms though tunnels, under bridges, trackside buildings etc. before a train can run a section of new track special trains have to be run with probes to check the loading gauge set to that particular train or trains dimensions which will run that line. That's just a brief explanation by the way.

The train accident of India which occured in June is the worst train accident in the world nearly 1000 people lost their life's 😢😢😢😢😢

I have given a thumbs down. You can make it interesting by posting some live videos.

The Selby Rail Disaster... Is a strange one.. Because its really a road traffic Accident, that caused a Rail Disaster. The Russian Terror Bombing... Is not a Rail accident. An accident is a series of problems that accumulate in something going wrong. For the bombers.. Everything went right. For the people involved.. Everything went wrong. But it was intentional, not an accident.

alright i will never travel on a high speed train on a February

Japanese is world class and safest trains.

Habibi come to india🤣

日本では新幹線がきっかけの事故は起きていませんが，事故の原因になるような事例はいくつかあります．最近のものであれば，東海道・山陽新幹線を走るのぞみ号の台車亀裂などがあります．

But Sorry To Say , After A Useless Big Lecture - The Main Thing That Is Sizes Of Of Narrow Gauge & Braod Gauge U Hv Not Mentioned ! Which Is Must . People Don't Want To Know The History Or Geography - The Sizes Of Gauges R Most Important To Know , Which U Hv Not Mentioned . An Useless Video Ultimately !! - Broad Gauge Is 5ft 6Inches & Standard 4ft 8.5 Inches - Meter Gauge 1 Meter - Narrow Gauge Is 750 Sometime 760 mm wide ! .....

This is why India chosen Japanese shinsaken train system we had option of German bullet train !

Most railroads in Japan have a gauge of 1067mm. On the other hand, the gauge of the Shinkansen is 1435mm, the international standard. In contrast to the high-speed trains in Germany and France that run through into conventional lines in city centers, the Shinkansen cannot connect to conventional lines, making it a separate and closed system. (The introduction of variable-gauge trains like Spain's Targo is being considered, but has not yet been put into practical use.) The fact that the Shinkansen has a completely self-contained system is thought to contribute to its safety.

majority of accidents occur with driver error, signal error or poor maintenance which can be avoided by automating it and funneling the money saved into proper maintenance, for automation to work it needs dedicated lines IE: no road crossings... ever, natural disasters are tragic and understandable but majority or natural disasters can be engineered around to either minimize if not eliminate these issues, which is why I am all for automation, it's high initial cost but savings will come back in droves when set up correctly, especially when it comes to insurance.

Regarding the Santiago de Compostela derailment, there are a few notes I'd like to share: - The Alvia was not the actual high-speed train service in Spain. It was the AVE. The Alvia was intended as a mid-way solution for extending high-speed trains to cities where proper high-speed rail network was not yet readily available. And it was done with many comprimises. - The partiticular train model involved in the accident was an adaptation of a true high-speed train, coupled with two electric generating wagons. Those add-on wagons were needed so that the train could run through non-electrified parts of the railway line. And they were the first to go off track as their centre of gravity was much higher that the rest of the composition. In fact, the head locomotive almost made the bend. - Due to the nature of the service, making use of both high-speed and regular speed network, the most advanced ERTMS safety sistem was not implemented in the bend. The accident could have been avoided if autobrake would have been available. - Engineers trade unions had already warned about the bend being too sharp, needing an abrupt deceleration, and right after a series of tunnels that could produce situational unawareness.

As a German I need to say something about SAFETY to all the other countries: Please use train control systems! We have all of our passenger lines in the country equipped with "Indusi" since the 80s (now called PZB90) and high speed lines with LZB. The PZB90 prevents any accident involving excessive speed or crossing red signals. THIS IS NEEDED EVERYWHERE!
