- Mega Pit Stops - Episode 2: The longest high-speed train in the world gets the biggest overhaul of its life.
The Russian high-speed train Sapsan is the longest of its kind. Based on the ICE 3, this gigantic machine travels at over 250 kilometers per hour.
Sapsan means “peregrine falcon” in russian. Both, the falcon and the train are true long-distance-specialists. However, after 1.2 million kilometers, each Sapsan is due for its big R3-revision. Since the Sapsan trains have only been launched in 2009, for the first time ever now a Russian high-speed train returns into the depot for the biggest overhaul in its entire life span.
Every single part of the train is inspected and, if necessary, replaced. A highlight of the revision: disassembling and replacing the bogies. A critical part in the procedure - they are essential to passenger’s safety. Each of them weighs around 8 to 12 tons and yet have to be handled by hand! To do so, the massive train is separated into two halves. Now, 5 coaches (which means: 125 meters!) have to be lifted at a time. A delicate maneuver! All of the massive carriage jacks have to work accurately to a millimeter so that the heavy train won´t buckle sideways.
To meet the incredible tight schedule of only 34 days, every little detail of the R3 needs precise planning beforehand. “Smaller” repairs such as the change of pantographs or substitutions of interior can be quite time consuming. To double-up the speed of the R3, the engineers work parallel on both halves of the train, before the Sapsan gets a brandnew painting in the end.

Russian guy: ( *talking for 3 minutes* )
Translator : "Everything looks good."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup, as a russian I can confirm that translation often doesn't match the original at all. But oftentimes what is said in russian doesn't carry too much information and/or is hard to translate any close to the original so they just ended up saying anything suitable.
Yup I confirm.
What minute?
@@josuaerick9670 here 23:25
44:32 Aah, that nostalgic feeling! The Legendary Windows XP. :)
I've heard it said that US Aircraft carriers and a good portion of thier government is still on XP. Microsoft keeps people around specifically to service them.
13:28 Worker: i work in this company for a long time. I inspect the train. I know almost any screw. My duty is to lift the train safely.
Translator: If we forget a screw its' very bad. It could cause things to break down which could cost a lot of money.
I feel cheated
@@sharkey086 i remember how british ship was near Crimea with BBC TV on board. They were saying that Russians got slow navy cause they don't have special gas-turbine engines for ships ! that was a lie. in that moment i started watching British TV. I was wondering what kind of slop they pour on their viewers ...
@@goodstu wow, really makes you wonder why they do this. I mean for drama I get to an extent, but there's such a thing as too much.
Can we stop with the cliche 'running against the clock' nonsense in all these documentaries please? The content is interesting enough by itself without this manufactured drama.
Sigurd van de Wiel sadly it’s the norm for American documentaries
Hear hear!
@Lew Rodd lol
Nah, I don't feel the drama... I think I'm just used to it.
Besides, tight schedule are the reality at most sights.
It's not about American thing or African thing - it's done on purpose to create an illusion of heightened sense of tension, pressure and suspense. After all, this is meant as TV documentary and they need to keep their audience' full attention all the time.
All the complicated machinery, jacks, and stuff, they lift the important last millimeter of bogies with wooden beam manually. Massive props to these worker, they really know what they're doing
The translation skips like 70% of what the project manager says.
And it's also wrong and the other guys were translated badly too
That's really really bad, sorry i don't even understand your name, but thanks for providing that info, this comment just confirm what I though, the translation leaves a lot to be desired.
@@S4nt11PC lo siento, necesitas estudiar idioma ruso :)
Most of what he says is meaningless filler in bureaucratic style just to say something.
For sure he does, translation´s dicked what a surprise!
Excellent broadcast. So refreshing to see the exquisite German ICE performing well in Russia. All to the benefit of the Russian people. Whoever made the intelligent choice of buying these high-speed trains in the first place should definately receive a medal of some sort. The beautiful ICE-trains are indeed the pride of all Europe.
Thumbs up to the service personnel at Siemens St. Petersburg. Great job.
Definitely and for sure Brian!
What is also worth noting is that these Siemens Velaro RUS trains can all run at 350km/h, probably without major modifications. They managed to push it past 400km/h on a test track. And they're more advanced than regular Siemens Velaro/ICE3 trains because of the more rugged design of the Velaro RUS trains to cope with the extreme weather conditions of Russia.
Siemens and Russian Railways have very close business relationship between each other. The Siemens Desiro RUS, aka Lastochka, are being assembled in Russia - more than 85% of all parts are made domestically. Those trains are typically used for suburban transport between the cities and towns that are 150-500km away and have a cruise speed of 160km/h. That's not to say that Russia can't develop fast trains themselves, there's a train called Ivolga that is made with 95+% Russian parts, which has a different purpose as a city train that can accelerate and come to a stop fast between the stops that are 2 minutes away from each other, and has people primarily standing. Because it's a domestic design (and because it's got less advanced technology at the core since there's no need to compete with the Lastochka), Ivolga costs considerably less to produce, and it is supposed to replace the trains that you would normally see at the German S-Bahn.
We will be replacing them with the superior and faster Chinese trains soon.
13:25 Viktor actually said: "I'm on this duty for a long time and I konw literally every screw in that train. My responsibility is to lift it safely." - and not that bullsh*t you've 'translated'. Shame.

I'm a native Russian speaker. Just wanna say that sometimes the translation is far from accurate, even the meaning completely misinterpreted.
I am learning russian (beginner level) and even I laughed once. But that's the american documentary style.
You should hear when they translate Putin speaking...The translation is never anything he says and they put in their own words and that's why people in the west fear and hate him.
I took the train (3BC 2-03) from Moscow to St. Petersburg on Sept. 9, 2019. It was a smooth and pleasant ride. =)
The worker says in Russian:"I have been working on this company for long"
Translator: "If we forget a screw..."
WTF? Why have you even took this interview if you use your own words?
Filmfair award of 2o17
Annoys me so much when they go awol with the translation :(
Hahaha waaaa
I am amazed to see the dedication of each of the workers, how much of effort and sincerity which goes in, just imagining if everybody were in the race of getting rich who would have done these routine yet important work. High Five to these engineers.

Well, let´s think about that. What would Wharton Business Schooling think about your ideology that "The Project Manager" should´ve verified the integrity of each seat?

A perfect example of team work , lead by the Project Manager. Congratulations!!

I found this video on heavy overhaul of high-speed rolling stock very interesting. I've previously paid a significant sum of my own money to visit heavy maintenance work-shops of high-speed pax trains in several different countries. Many uninformed comments about window-damage from vandals; but that's OK. To clarify, in winter conditions, the aerodynamics at speed cause snow to build up as an accretion beneath the under-body. Eventually these snow-lumps fall off at speed, throwing up sharp-edged ballast that chips paint, dents the body-side, damages windows, cuts rubber components, etc.
It's great to see how professional they are and what a great job they've done this is a great video I've been a mechanic for 45 years and I enjoy watching things like this the Russians are doing a great job of keeping the fast train running
Engineering-wise, this is a stunningly good video ..well done the producers!
& thank you to the uploader. Well worth watching not many annoying ads or stupid music that prevents people from hearing/understanding what's being said.
As a train technician I laughed through the video and the narrattion. It's so much bullshit.
@@Salpeteroxid Can you please explain more? I want to hear what is right.
@@minhtan1248 They make everything so dramatic. The bolt that was a little bit hard to remove, to lifting the train and basically everything. Working on trains is just like working in a car shop, only different tools. It's not dramatic or tense, just a lot of safety. Imagine seeing a discovery channel car show and then go to your local mechanic. Same difference.
25:49 "High tech equipment coming through!"
Yeah, sometimes, the best tech is the simplest tech.
It's not like they used it since WW2
Like current TGV Sud-Est in France, only 2 small seven-segment displays and everything else is analogue in the cabin. But it still goes up to 300 km/h. Old high-tech.
@@paname514 A Sapsan can travel at a speed of 300 km per hour, but the speed is limited to 250 due to rail tracks not quite suitable ( google translate)))
Trere're scribblings on the beam 26:08 that says "DO NOT TAKE" , so it's really a sacred beam used to lift the bogies.
Informative! One of my favorite high speed services is the Sapsan!
And Russia is one amazing country!!
p
but the train is actually a Siemens Velaro, assembled in Russia for its specific rail gauge
expansionone that I am aware of!
As Russia’s high speed project (SOKOL) was cancelled in 2002,they have decided to get Siemens to design trains for Russia’s high speed train service.
aha... and it will be even greater when comrad Putin sets up his own wikipedia for Russia! Know what i'm talking about? Putin has big plans for your internet and as specialy for wikipedia! Read the news...
In a reciprocal gesture Russian will design and supply all of Germany's requirements for rockets.
Siemens is an incredible company; they actually saved my life. Using a Siemens body scanning machine, doctors discovered a weakness in my heart. If that hadn't happened, I would have had a heart attack and probably died.
nice to hear from you then @johndunbar7504 and stay cool
If someone facies a ride in one of these things without having to go to Russia, the Siemens Velaro is also running as ICE3 in Germany, where it has an even higher top speed of 320 kp/h. If you book a ride from Munich to Nuremberg, or Cologne to Frankfurt, you'll experience them routinely running at 280 kp/h and above.
The actual top speed of the ICE3 is 330kph. On the stretches you mentioned it's allowed to go 300kph. In France between Forbach and Paris most of the track has a 320kph limit, so there it goes that speed.
this is a different train though, yes it is from the velaro familly but it is completely different in various systems because of the russian climate and other adaptations, also russia runs a wider rail gauge
For Russian railways the train was absolutely redesigned. It is no longer like its european relative.
At the end I actually gave a round of applause to the team. Excellent Job
thanks for the Mega Pit Stop videos
Great documentary, thank you for posting it!
These trains are more sophisticated an better equipped, than the ones in the UK!
Great upload , very clean place and nicely done , good work .

Eurostar: Am I a joke to you?
16-car shinkansen: I feel insulted.
The ever ominous BS narratives... "The bogie frame alone weighs almost 10 tonne" - pan to shot of crane with SWL of 8T.
Well, they did say ALMOST. Though I doubt it ways that much
I saw that as well.
I’ve been on a TGV going at around 320kph
Great video. Thanks for posting ...
I thought its a ship cutting techss..den its a train..hehe. wow. Such assets to feature friend. Love this channel
44:32 I was NOT expecting one of the most advanced trains in the world to have the Windows XP startup chime play when it starts up. LOL
"The main part of one bogey, the frame weighs almost ten tons alone" - shows eight tonne crane in use. In soviet Russia, crane bogeys you!
:))))))) in soviet Russia, crain stronger then appears! Because crain works harder for socialism!
Yeah, I picked up on that too, figures he quotes, something's not right
But at 19:45 the gantry crane was only being used to lift the bolster, not the whole bogie. So the lift is well within the Safe Working Load posted on the crane.
Well, 8 tons is “almost” 10 tons. Kind of like a pastry at 7-Eleven baked fresh daily
Bogie*
The Velaro series trains are from Siemens (German engineered & built) and are sold to many countries around the world. It's great to see that they are able to service the trains in Russia instead of having to send them back to the manufacturer. I would love to see these running in North America, but I'm certain that Bombardier would have some pretty sweet competition too! 👍 😎
Excellent documentary, well done
Matatan ™®™ Ribirin HS,
interesting work done by this maintenance team. thanks for sharing
Wow, what an interesting and educational documentary. Nice work and clair explanations.
I'm guessing documentaries like Accent of Man and Civilisation would blow your mind if you think this educational. Modern documentaries are trash.
19:56 - Ten tons bogie, eight tons the crane limit... :)) Usually, a motor bogie weights 6 tons together with axles and wheels. The frame (main beam) is less than 2 tons.
This is Russia my friend , române . Totul e masiv la ei.
@@Cristip Să trăiți, domnule! Am lucrat cu astfel de boghiuri, are până în 6 tone un boghiu din acesta... Ce voiam să zic este că prezentatorii au umflat masa unui boghiu la 10 tone, când pe macara scria 8 tone... Hai să fim serioși. O zi bună!
again, wrong translation from the original...
the Windows vista startup sound though, made my day
Wow super thorough overhaul kind of surprised how much work replacing those windows requires not a clean job
2.28 in and they've already called the Bogies the Chassis.
Dipshits
"some bogies have a motor. that's known as: motor bogies"
what a surprise
booggy booggy 👀🤡👻😂
translation is wrong. some bogeys have a - generator- that produces electricity when the train is running.
@@benediktmorak4409 No, the translation is correct. Some bogies are motorized (usually around half of them), others are not. Electric trains don't need generators, they just transform and convert whatever they need for propulsion, air conditioning, air compression and electronics from the overhead power.
However, an electric motor and generator are basically the same device anyway, just operated in reverse.
Some electric trains/locomotives (incl. variants of the Velaro which this is) support regenerative braking in addition to traditional friction braking and sometimes inductive braking. The motor acts as a generator turning kinetic energy (motion) into electricity and feeding it back into the power line.
Axle generators were used for lighting and heating on trains in the past where the locomotive was either non-electric or not designed to support electric amenities. Most diesel and of course all diesel-electric trains/locomotives today have generators attached to the engine.
You are, all workers done it awesome job. This workshop " DEPO" is very clean and regular. I wish you have nice drive all the times. love Russian peoples.
I'm so glad I found this channel

45:22 "Once Emergency Stop is engaged, the Train stops in 1600 meters" that's a 1.6 KM stopping distance 😯
that's why when the railway crossing flashes, DO NOT CROSS !
they can see you, but they can't stop at that speed and next thing you know is "meat bag" spread across the rails for the entire stopping distance after you ...
250 km/h 320 tons weight... normal car need about 300m whit that speed... And car's weight is about 1,8t...
At that speed do you thinking will stop in meters ???
F=M×A.
Not that bad if you remember that it is steel on steel. Not rubber on asphalt...
"The worlds longest high speed train"?? 10 cars and up to 600 passengers and 250kph. Japans high speed trains are 16 cars and can carry 1050 passengers at 320kph. Rather misleading title
Isn't it faster than that? The French TGV cruises at 320kph with passengers but can go even faster. And I know the Japanese is much faster.
Yes, it's completely misleading for a Documentary Channel that is "informing" people.
Traction max running 250kmh without compromising the speed ad they run in two set of 10-car set , making it 20-car set as the longest in service in the world , even China and Japan only run max 16-car set in 350km/h and 320km/h respectively.
Coincidentally some of Japan's trains go by the same name too
It has 20 cars, not 10, that’s why it’s the longest one
Loved the Windows XP computer startup sound in the cab.
The amouth of advertising is shocking, but the documentation is very good!

If the main part of the bogie weighs nearly 10 tons, why is there an 8 ton limit on the crane at 19:56 ??
Ton is not actully a standardized weight in the uk its 1016kg
Us and Canada its 907kg and about 50 other varieties
It's Russia: we don't need a bigger crane. :-)

833 dislikes are from chinese trolls paid by China Railway High-Speed (CRH). The Russian government chose wisely the German ICE which was specifically customized for the rigors of the inclement Russian climate. The engineers and technicians working at the workshop are indeed well trained, motivated and, most important, they know their Siemens Velaro RUS from A to Z. In service since 2009 to present "0" accidents.
Why does Russia not produce its own domestic high speed trains?
@@snnrslnx Russians can do this (and there are russian trains running 200+ km/h), but why should they - it is very difficult and expensive to develop such train from scratch. On the other hand, there are only a few entities in the entire world that offer high-speed rail. One of them, german Siemens, is an absolute leader - it has built high-speed rail all across Europe and in China (yes, China's high-speed rail actually started with Siemens' project). Germany makes it better, cheaper than anyone else, and Russia considered it more rational to buy german trains rather than create their own.

Amazing work gentlemen.
i had my first highspeed ride with Sapsan! :) in 2019....
I like how the train has a Windows startup sound when they test the train at 44:30
Couldn’t t beat the TGV on speed, so Seimens decided to strap on couple more carriages and call it “ The world’s LONGEST HIGH-SPEED TRAIN” ! 😂
As if all TGVs in service run at 500 km/h. Top speed doesn't matter if the rails are old and curvy. This Siemens Velaro RUS train is capable at running at 350km/h continuously and they sped it up to 400km/h once during testing.
@@one_step_sideways But TGV 4402 reached 574 km/h in 2007 during testing
@@haido1000 Yeah, and they had to run it with all safety features turned off, top speed unlocked, as fast as they could, and they also temporarily boosted the voltage from 25kV to 29kV. Let's just say that running it 200km/h faster than the train's cruise speed is going to cause it to break down in flames by the next day. Don't you realize they have reasons not to make trains go faster than 350km/h? Not to mention that some trains have to go slower than that at some points.
@@one_step_sideways yes I see but it was just a top speed test to get a record. Running the same train with the (same safety) features continuously will cause it to break down. It depends on the railways (straight, well installed, no vibrations ... etc) that's why high speed trains can not run all the time in the same maximum speed.
@@one_step_sideways I have never heard of a velaro RUS running up to 400kmh. The only Velaro I am aware of has run to 400kmh is the Velaro E (although maybe also the chinese Velaro).

No its Russia's disregard for safetry to look good and cut corners.
@@okbutthenagain.9402 Well, actually, I think the documentary makers are just trying to impress the viewer with impressive numbers while failing to realise some of the obvious contradictions in their claims.
After all, 7.6 tons rounded up is eight tons and eight tons could be described, not dishonestly as "nearly ten tons", see ?
This is not only what I would *_like_* to think is the truth of it, but that it is indeed, the *_actual_* truth of it.
>
I saw that too, and take it to be the usual lackadaisical attitude towards facts that these documentaries have. Given that earlier the bogie was stated as being 11 tonnes, and now it's just the frame without wheels or axles, the frame is very likely to be well under 8 tonnes.
And anyway, as they stated at the start, the workshop is built for the train - pretty sure Siemens wouldn't screw up on a simple thing like crane capacity.
35:26 So he's cutting the glass window on a freshly painted train, atleast tape off the edges.
Jake Sullivan no, he's cutting the sikkaflex seal and that's mostly smoke from the tool heating up. He looks embarrassed and he stops because the tool is so hot it stops cutting and is melting the seal instead of cutting
It’s not about technical proses.
It’s just because Alexey had days off before train was painted. No one can do this job, only Alex. 😂
This can be done after painting. Even for Airforce One they do it like a rutine.
Great video !!!
Awesome!! Thanks
Nice documentary, in India we are also implementing HSR, would love to know how are they planning the maintenance. Here the team started the work as soon as the train arrived at the workshop.

Korean high speed trains are also 20 cars long, with the newer locally developed one dividing into two trains going east and west each at an intermediate station.
This is a 2009 train ... Get the difference
The cars are probably shorter
