Correction on North American letter codes, they identify the owner of the railcar, and can be two, three, or four letters. If four letters in length and the final letter is "X" then the owner is not a railway company.
Very cool information, like always clearly and succintly explained. I live a few blocks from the railway tracks in my hometown (Central Mexico) and I like to pay attention to the different wagons that are being transported. It makes me think about how trains are vital for a lot of industries and for the economy, in general.
Additionally, in North American practice (i.e. Canada, US and Mexico), reporting marks can have up to four digits. Non-railroad ownership is designated by the final letter being an 'X'.
Nice video and information. Because you mentioned car/auto carrier and Ro-La, next please make a video about why there is open and covered auto carrier and Ro-La Explanation.
For those interested, the channel Practical Engineering has a similar version of this video focusing on US rail. @Railways Explained. Of course I posted a similar comment there directing people to this video :)
They only need to go for maintence once in few years - typically 4-6 with now prolonged to even more. So when revision is about to expire, they are being reported and should be sent to revision. Between that they have no maintence unless something brakes. And thing brake often.
6:53 GE Rail Services Hi(i)rrs wagons. Produced by: Waggonbau Niesky (1998) Over more than 300 of these are produced, since GE is gone, Touax is succescorr to GE, but 70% are acquired by Transwaggon. Spme of them have been rented to Slovenian railways (SŽ) for Paloma toičet papers, and Austrian railways (OBB). Some of them are rented to Lineas. These are my favorite boxcars than any else. Still i'm trying to find where the Touax ones are running since they are on my 'photography' target. 🎯
Here in "Muurica" we have AAR reporting marks/labels. Could you do a video about the development of the coupling systems in use in the world.? Of especial interest to me is why the EU holds on to the antique chain hook coupler system and couplers for high speed trains.😎
Very rewarding video. In Russian universities, these topics are taught using old English textbooks. I would like to see a video on the topic: "Systems for monitoring the condition of the rolling stock on the move of the train." It would be great!👍
Thank you for the detailed video. I finally know what ´Eaos´ means and that all those weird names are actually code letter with difference meanings and functions of the wagons.
Thanks for the video. It was very informative. Good and easy to understand information on rail freight operations is a lot less avaliable than that of passenger operations on the internet
14:33 Some S waggons are 120 kmh rated which are Sggmrrss Sggmrss. Hccrrs or Laaerprs Covered Autorack and can run a Motorail train like the Villach Edirne Uacns Cement transport 58t max load. Learnt these designations from Train Sim World. Does anyone know what is the meaning of Roos-t
As an American, it's strange to see wagons with only two axles (or six, for that matter); we stopped using them almost 150 years ago. We also have none with fabric covers.
well therefore the axle weight in europe is mostly lower than in america you gotta need more than 4 axles. some freights don't need a big car for transport, so 2 axle cars are still common
You know he’s only talking about European rail cars when the holy grail of intermodal rail cars isn’t mentioned… seriously. Do y’all not have any well cars?
@@hrford I've given up on reporting. UA-cam doesn't seem to care, they never take action. So instead I let the uploader know as they can delete comments as well.

Probably the best video about wagons on UA-cam.
Thanks

Weird loud white noise at 1:31

I don't know what's gotten into me, suddenly im into trains.
But it helps when the UA-camr has a passion for the subject.
5:12 that is the railroad reporting mark not a wagon class code NS is Norfolk southern

How are freight wagons scheduled for maintenance? Perhaps a subject for a future video? 😊

Thank you some much for the content ! Could you do a video on the loading gauge ?
Dd wonder about this one, so when I saw this mentioned I immediatly started watching it. Very interesting video!
Interesting topic, nicely covered... 👌
Thank you
7:41 3 out of 4 transport same things in different amounts, 4th does transport cars.😂
Thanks for the video. It was very informative. Good and easy to understand information on rail freight operations is a lot less avaliable than that of passenger operations on the internet
Because to carry lot of freight requires a lot of waggons to put it all in
Lots of information I didn't know I didn't know! Reading out the letter classifications sounded like the two Ronnies' F.U.N.E.X. sketch.
Thanks for a very clear and educational video. I learnt things totally new and interesting.
Glad to hear that

A very interesting programme, REALLY ENJOYED IT . THANK'S. ☺☺☺☺
It’s a very clearly explained video
I’d never remember all those classifications though
European classification system - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UIC_classification_of_goods_wagons
Finally I know what Hbbins, Eanoo, etc means! Thank you! 😁
I like to watch the waggons roll by
How are those called, that transport liquid, hot iron?
8:31 isolating or insulating
I suggest to you make a video about coach classification. 🤔
Very cool video, now I can see what’s inside of the wagons and Know the types!
Do I remember correctly, that Japan only has like 5 types?
It has more, but nowadays mostly container flatcars and tankers are in use.
カ (ka) - cattle car
キ (ki) - snow plow (no propulsion)
コ (ko) - container flatcar (or intermodal)
く(ku) - car transporter
せ (se) - coal hopper (only for coal)
シ (shi) - special car (for oversize loads)
ソ (so) - crane (no propulsion? Unused?)
タ (ta) - tanker car
チ (chi) - regular flatcar
ト (to) - gondola
ホ (ho) - hopper
ヨ (yo) - caboose
レ (re) - reefer
ワ (wa) - boxcar
ヲ (wo) - hopper (I can't tell the difference between "ho" and "wo" hoppers)
@@jacekhozejowski2869 ok thank you very much
14:04 Romanian stuff there 🇷🇴😁 LEMA 010 locomotive from DB Cargo Romania
You missed my favorite wagon, the Torpedo wagon.
Good video. 💪🏼
Thank you!
1:33 rip headphone users
was going to hit like, but, likes were at 666, the number of the beast, so best left well alone !
What about the people's wagon?
Spoiler: Because theres lots of different types of freight. I watched it anyway just to look at the trains.
Those are all for transporting automobiles
Do asphalt cars that need to be sand blasted
Very interesting topic you found here. I learned a lot today. Thank you guys!

Nope. We're Serbs
