Ďalšie prekrásne video, natočené s citom pre železnicu a milovníkov vláčikov. Užívam si pri Vašich videách . Mal by som 1 tip pre jednu krátku trať - z Lučenca do Brezničky s odbočkou do Cinobane a Katarínskej Huty. Držím palce ! Máte krásneho koníčka a potešíte mnohých.
Dobrý deň, som rád, že sa vám to páčilo jazda. Slovensko je krásna krajina, naozaj som si užil svoju návštevu. Cestujem so železničnou dovolenkovou spoločnosťou, dúfajme, že zariadi ďalšie turné na Slovensko, keď je vírus Covid 19 pod kontrolou, možno ďalšie turné pokryje trasu, ktorú ste navrhli.
As the tour progressed our group became very fond of our grumpy diesel. Although the train did get a move on, the crew had to be very vigilant, with so many open level crossings being used by heavy farm machinery. Take care. Tim.
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Hard to believe this tour cover so much in under two weeks and I still have a lot more to upload. The broadband in my area is pretty good, necessary as more and more TV goes over to the internet, even sky is forsaking its satellite dishes to deliver TV via broadband these days. BT, Virgin, Netflix and many others are only available via broadband.
(13:30) Hello Tim, lots of tracks at stations like here tell about better times of railway. Do you know freight trains have mainly transported? - Heinz
Hello Heinz, we did see plenty of freight action, mostly connected with the steel factory in Kosice, both on the standard and broad gauge lines. There is probably less freight today than there was in the days of communism. Many of the stations are close to boarder crossings and I think the extra sidings are there to cope with delays and to allow customs inspections to take place - Tim.
The opening few minutes of the trip showed some flies buzzing around on the windscreen of the loco, but they were a bit blurry so I couldn't tell if they were zippered or buttoned! LOL On a serious note, couldn't help but notice how far back the loco had to travel to get to a set of points to come up and recouple with the other end of the train. That distance would've been the equivalent of Newcastle to Civic station before the line was cut at Wickham in 2014.
It's good to see the jokes are getting worse. The passing loops were very long to accommodate long freight trains, our short passenger train looked lost in them.
LOL, Yeah, I'm always good for a corny one-liner or two, ort three , or four..... ! The trick with the passing loops is to put the passenger train(short, 8 or 10 carriages) on a siding to let a freight or coal, or even a grain train(upwards of 80 carriages, likely even more) to pass through on the main line.
Hi Neil, that works fine until you have two or more long freight trains crossing. A lot of the stations seen in these Slovakian videos are near border crossings where trains are held until the paperwork, customs and all checks are completed. When these country's were part of Communist Eastern Europe the railways were more important than they are today, I'd love to slip back in time to watch railway operations in those days, because of restrictions on photography back then, most photographs are official rather than just random ones taken by enthusiasts.
Ach, the paperwork! Cannae get by withoot the paperwork(er, trying to type in a Scottish accent there! LOL) Yeah, somehow I doubt they'd accept a story of train enthusiast's videos back in the Soviet days!
The Scots haven't gone independent yet, although it could happen soon. I love listening to older East Europeans recount the days of the Soviet era, they'll tell you it wasn't great, but so long as you didn't buck the system is was OK, then they describe life in the EU, nothing much has changed for them, they still have little or no say in there own future, except there was a sort of safety net in Soviet days and they were pretty much guaranteed a job of some kind back then. In places like Bulgaria, the young have left in search of their fortunes in Western Europe, the towns and villages are falling into disrepair, the factory has closed and the ever benevolent EU has built a motorway past their homes connecting Turkey and Greece directly to Germany, taking away any hope these towns and villages once had of benefiting from their membership of EU. TV never shows the full picture, but then some will say TV is part of the very establishment that is the EU. Slovakia is still a nice place and the smaller towns and villages have fared much better than other former East European country's.
Thanks for the lovely ride Tim. This must have been a continuation of the previous video. We passed a cemetery towards the beginning of the video. Seems like it was located in a desolate location in the middle of nowhere. When's your trip to New Zealand coming up?
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. This video did follow on from the one before as we returned to Kosice and on to Poprad via the standard gauge line running parallel to the broad gauge line over part of the route. The standard gauge line is used by both passenger a freight trains, parting company with the broad gauge line in places to serve towns along the way. I will be flying to Australia shortly to take a look at trains around Brisbane, before continuing to Christchurch, New Zealand to see how the Christchurch, Picton line is recovering after the Kaikoura earthquake of 2016. Three weeks touring New Zealand should take me to Auckland where I will catch up with my son and his family for a while before continuing to Melbourne Australia and finally back to the UK. I won't be able to post videos whilst I'm away, but hopefully I'll film some interesting stuff to post over the following months. In the meantime, my wife will be looking after the family at home, enjoying the peace and quiet whilst I'm away.
Maybe it's a little late for an answer, but I'll give it anyway. T478 - "Grumpy" or Bardotka or Cloudy is a locomotive from the times of socialism and CSSR (Czechoslovak socialistic republic). It is kept in "as-built" condition, including paint, markings and even that star on the forehead. At that time it was mandatory, no locomotive could run in the soc-camp without a red star on its head, including steam and electric ones. So it is not nostalgia for socialism, but a faithful reproduction of reality.

That grumpy engine can sure move when it has to. Nice video thanks for sharing your trips with us. God bless

Thanks for yet another wonderful video Tim. Thank goodness your broadband speed is a good one with all that material to upload!

Ufff, VK moje domáce mesto, tade som sa nachodil na vlak.
Ahoj, VK vyzerá pekné miesto k životu.
Another good one!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Konečne vidím ako to vyzerá aj z pohľadu rušňovodiča na Trati V. Kapušany - Bánovce n./Ondavou.
Vodič má najlepší pohľad, dúfam, že sa vám to páčilo jazdiť.
great video 🏆🤴🥇🎥🚆🚂👍 like 16
Thank you :-)

Witaj Tim! W trasie którą pokazujesz jest dużo spokoju. Tylko nie wiem czy to spokój smutny czy wesoły?
Cześć, trasa przeszła bardzo przyjemne wsi, Słowacja jest ładne miejsce i ludzie wydają się być zadowolony.
Super ....
Thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed it.

funny red star on the diesel :D
I wonder if it is significant, maybe someone who knows the answer will reply.

Dobré tgv
Páni, naftová lokomotíva Bardotka s rýchlosťou 300 km / h, to by bola zábava :-)
Wow, a 300 kph Bardotka diesel locomotive, that would be fun :-)
