- People aren't the only ones that need to travel. Our way of life has always relied on the transportation of cargo, freight and raw materials. Transport has needed to evolve to keep up with the demand.

Many of mankind's ideas to build big seem impossible. It's an inescapable aspect of progress: things just keep getting bigger. This is the story of dams, highways, bridges and buildings that have transformed cities and even countries. This riveting series explores a hundred years of engineering the biggest, heaviest, tallest structures, and looks at what was supersized 10 or even 100 years ago.

This is not about trains until about eighteen minutes in. Before that, it's about shipping. Title is misleading. The thumbnail picture is misleading.
Thanks, you saved many of us 18 minutes of filler
Thanks! also they said the Falkland war was in '76 so would double check any info from video if important.
i thought this was about "How Humans Built The Biggest Cargo Freight Ships" but shows like a 30 second clip of people building something then talks about trains/aircraft/random stuff?
If you're gonna name your video a certain way, make sure the video is mainly about the title.
That was the intro bruh
The Longest Cargo Train In The World.... TRAIN.. not ship :) If you're going to point out the video name... make sure you're reading it right :D
Yup and most people just don't notice or don't care. Most people-------------- nope, not saying it.
Howard Hughes inherited from his father and uncle, a business which developed, first, the rotating , triple head rock drill that revolutionised water, gas, and oil recovery. They leased them and further developed that. When he flew around the world he flew into the USSR without permission. He was worth more than that entire country.
That’s right about the well tip and we designed the technology to build these worlds largest ships ...so where’s my money,
Bigb anbiger
Is a "football pitch" the standard unit of measurement these days? I had a beer for every time they mentioned it and I'm fucking spastic drunk.
Really just enjoyed learning about the big trains, and watching the big trains go around the big corner.
A wee general geared cargo were the best for me. In the Pacific there were so many good times. To be on a tanker was shite. Thank you Andrew Weir AKA Bank Line.. My first trip.
At 26:37 bhp train with near 700 cars is impressive . Andrew Forest has a electric train that uses the weight of load to recharge it's batteries on a slight decline 400km into port then depleting batteries returning empty cars requiring no extra charges then load and repeat . True free energy
No such thing as free energy
@@AAAA35345 No free energy, but this is work that requires negative energy to perform, so with the right technology it doesn't require any human-produced energy inputs. It's a very specific transportation use case that isn't broadly applicable
When I was about 13 I had the opportunity to be one of the last of the public to ride the historic Tehachapi Loop rail route in Kern County California USA. Many many years ago public rail service was discontinued with only year round freight service.
Great and informative content by Spark! However, it would be great if the year of creation of the video is also added. It seems that the video is 7-8 years old and some of the information is outdated. Giving the year of creation of video will give viewers an idea of what to expect :)
When I was a kid I got special access to the museum that houses the Spruce Goose when it was being put back together. The wings weren't on yet, but the main bit was. I got to walk around the cockpit, sit in the piolet chair. I got to see every last bit of that plane from the inside out.

I love the side-by-side comparison, at that shed, of the two different track gauges.
The two on the left being the NSW normal standard gauge : 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)
While the two on the right (beside the shed) being what appears to be 7+1/4" model engineering gauge.
In 1996 I rode on an Amtrak train from Tampa, FL to Allentown, PA and back. The ride to Allentown was very nice and uneventful, but as my mother and I were traveling back to Tampa (while we were eating dinner in the dining car) our train was forced to lock up the brakes due to a father and his young daughter fishing off of a very small train bridge that was about 5' tall and 10' long with signs everywhere that said no trespassing, but the father chose to risk multiple people's lives to fish off of it and we had to evacuate the train because the crew feared that the rear cars had derailed. I don't honestly remember where that was, but I remember the police showing up and questioning everyone who was around at the time. My mom has always been afraid of heights, that's why we took the train...good choice Mom! 🤣🤣🤣
My grandmother took me from Chicago to Pikes Peak. 3 days, sleeping in bus stations, I'm lucky to be alive.
wow, life is so unpredictable 🙂
@@happydays8171 scarred, traumatized, BUT alive !! hahahaaa go on 😊
The MSC Osacr was built in 2014 and doesn't come close to the largest container ship capacity of 23992 TEU's (Evergreen/ Ever Ace).
I bet the Osacr can't even block the suez hahaha
I was slightly confused as to why it didn't show up on Wikipedia's "List of largest container ships". Seemingly dropped off the bottom of the list 6th June 2020.
What a load of bollocks this video is!
Ever Ace has now been topped by Ever Alot, which hold 24,008 TEUs
@@yerwol it was uploaded 5 months ago but you can tell by the footage of the msc it's old...
The largest are a series a 18 ships and are identical, The one called Ever Alot holds the record for largest single haul at 24,008 TEU's.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
😙 👌
@@jfrtbikgkdhjbeep9974 WHAT IS WIT NIT ?
I saw a video about a land train sometime that failed. It's interesting that the mining companies only use road trains that are about 10 meters longer. I guess the legal limit is kinda close to the practical limit.
@Anthony Pearce, yes there are definitely limits to length and weights to 'Road Trains' as they are called here.... Those limits vary between areas they are expected to operate.... Even in certain private properties, like mines, there are limits how large & heavy that equipment can be... In the U.S. , the MSHA will designate what those limits are.... Just saying, not all places can accommodate equipment of this size & weight.... It is very specific of where this type of equipment can operate, except maybe, for the MB 'Sprinter' vans that were mentioned here....
Lmao 🤣 i thought my phone orientation suddenly changed 15:48
30:01 Didn't expect to see that JDM legend there lol
24:35 - "The only trans continental railway network in North America, the Canadian National..." Impressive that you failed to mention Canadian Pacific. Which was the FIRST trans continental railway network in America.
When does it end? The madness of consumption. Like Lemmings hearding over the cliff.
Okay folks, this is from 2017 so a lot of the info is out of date and as some have noticed, the Canadians did not get a few things correct.
At my last job as a Pavement condition surveyor we used two Sprinters, 1 as a crew & equipment carrier & the other as a traffic Truck. Great Vans!
I have a windowless sound proof one.
I have the Open with Foot option incase I'm dragging something.
I love it.
That big jet airplane (AN-225) was the one that was destroyed by the Russians in their invasion of Ukraine.
There was another started, but never finished. Of the 2, after the war, another should be operational.
@@happydays8171 Very unlikely. Antonov has announced they are thinking about repairing it, but the company was barely making money before the war i think its safe to say that having the smaller antonovs fly isnt even guaranteed anymore. The only way it gets repaired is if some saudi or Emirates ruler wants his private jet to be the biggest plane ever build. 😂 thats the only person that has the cash.
@@kingofrivia1248
Okay, just repeating what I've read in these comments. Didn't know the facts. That plane looked pretty gone, bombed in the hanger, like maybe the engines were salvageable.
Also made by Russians, so there’s to destroy
@@kingofrivia1248
The only possible way that Antonov could be rebuilt is to find an undamaged component like a bolt, and replacing everything attached to it piece by piece, until they end up with a totally new Antonov with one second hand bolt.
Hmm the elephant in the room is the worlds 16 largest cargo ships combined put out more pollution in a year than a whole lot of western nations car pollution combined, they are not green one bit and horrendous polluters.
I don't care.
Road Train also run in Western NSW Australia as well.
11:21 TIME TRAVELER!!!
That Bike Looks Sick in 2021!
Clip actually begins at 3:38
Can you dial back the techno remix?
Maritime distances are in Nautical MILES not kilometers.
Fascinating stuff.
Now that we know how humans build them, do one about how animals, specifically apes, build them.
MB Sprinter is the same as the VW Crafter, as far as I know, and they are both horribly expensive to repair, even when you can take the whole front off to get at the so-called engine.
Dodge makes an almost identical version as well. They have become very popular in the southern USA for use especially by Amazon. If you see an Amazon delivery van on the road around here there is a 99% chance it will be a MB or Dodge Sprinter.
Good video if you were not expecting 52 minutes about trains.
Good documentary .🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Cheaper than a plane, in every way, but obviously slower.
Logistics.
Interesting.
Hello my sweet friends thanks you'll for sharing I love it all bless you'll have a great day GOD bless you'll
I’m sorry but the big boy footage in trains are all challengers. Bit of a difference
Big Boy 3985 is real. lol
Built by humans as opposed to what? Apes, aliens?
I cant believe the MSC Oscar was so cheap to build! I'm too used to military prices
Not focusing on anything for more then 1/2 second...Two minutes was enough for me and I switched to something else. BHE
are there other species that builds ships ha ha ha
Ants build lifeboats out of their own bodies to either cross rivers or keep the queen safe during floods.
@@Gotten37 fire ants i think
Yeah don't forget the ants!. C'mon Richard.
Termites build skyscrapers
@@AFR0MAMBA and they are extremely good at it and have been for millions of years
33:50 that is not much amazing for me, instead the big wheels that it almost doesn't need spring/s as suspension is amazing!.
This programs format is geared to the attention deficient crowd.
The video title is: "The Longest Cargo Train In The World | Supersized Structures | Spark"
The video begins discussing cargo ships, not cargo trains. Please learn the difference between these transport systems before attempting to discuss them.
Next, the video discusses aircraft carriers, which are also not cargo trains. The video discusses the HMS Illustrious carrier commissioned on 20 June 1982. It states that this was the last operational carrier in the Royal Navy, which 8is not true.
Is this a documentary or a rave party? Tone down he doof doof!
Informative and I will join your channel
Australia needs an Aircraft Carrier since we got rid of H.M.A.S. Melbourne which I served on in the 70's we should make one of our Assault ships able to retrieve and fly the F35's I'm sure it wouldn't take that much refitting they already have the ski jump.
Again, this video series goes on a huge tangent and does not stick to the main subject
16:43 video starts at 16:43
First 16:43 is about container ship ;)
Great work 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you 💜💜💜
R.I.P. Mriya
The smallest country builds and runs the biggest ships.
Not exactly. This is an old video.
Don’t worry about mentioning or showing the one operating big boy
why are we measuring the size of items using foorball piches, grandpianos, eifel towers ???
At 26:20 he didn't say how many football fields is that 2.4 km train so now I don't have a clue how long it is. What a blunder. At least I know the other train because I know how many slot-machine casinos it is.
17:45 - That is a Rhodesian Garratt, not an Australian one!
Whats with the background annoying music? Trying to avoid copyright?
This is a cut and paste from different documentaries. The title of this video has no relevance to the stolen footages. It is still entertaining to watch because the original documentaries from which this video was made were all well made.
The title is deceiving, It should only focus on ships as the title say so.....
The title says cargo trains tho
Title says longest cargo trains not boats tho
For Trains they say Longest & for Ships they say Largest
@Ver Pacas, the main title that is advertised on the site (You Tube) that I was introduced to, spoke of large/long trains.... So there it is, something for all interests.... But this documentary program definitely delivered what it promised, large things that move objects.... One thing that was here, but probably should have been featured on an automotive program, is the Mercedes Sprinter van... My guess is the producers of this documentary gave MB a plug, because maybe they provided healthy funding for this program... That's fine.... That is how it is able to be shown for no charge.... But over-all, this was an intensely interesting program that gave some really cool footage and narration...👍
^_^
38:10 - GONE .. ANTONOV 225 - Destroyed by the Russians as it was park for maintenance in Ukraine .. Very Sad
Yes of course,a lot lands i buy for make new project future program 🤴🏻💯☑👍👌🏻🎗✨
Correction falklands war was not in 1976 / but in 1982 , opposed Britain vs Argentina .
The namesake of the video starts at 16:50.
Clicked on this to watch the train video got 45 minutes of nothing I wanted to watch. Please do a video of the subject your thumbnail is about and not a lot of BS!!!
So, according to this 'documentary', the Falklands War started 6 years before history recorded it. The war was fought in 1982, not 1976
This video makes me feel small. Very small!
So the part about the big boys didn't show one. The 3000 class where challengers
6:04 And when it is hit by huge wave all of its containers fall off and pollute the seas.
Group up Australia is in a global hot spot.
Iv rode in the grainer wagons for thousands of kilometers in Canada and the best views ever but very cold and illegal.
38:55 *Was.*
Glad to see informative video, Good work bros!!!
Longest cargo train in the world?? Wtf are these ships??
My heart goes out to the poor narrator. He's plainly English, from his accent, but he's reading a script written by someone who does not speak the same language. He's forced to utter such solecisms as "the Empire State Building laying on its side" and "the decommissioning of the HMS Illustrious". Poor man!
Wdym
@@namename3130 Don't you know your own language or common usage?
I dont see how using an empire state building comparison or speaking about the decommisioning of hms ilustrions conflict with his being english...
@@namename3130 Then you don't know your own language properly. (Or you're American).
@@nicolek4076 I'm a well educated Englishman so stop waffling and explain whatever it is you were trying to say.
RIP AN-225
The backing music was not for me.
Update== Antonov 225 is no more, having been destroyed by the Russians in their invasion of Ukraine.
Title is train, first 13 minutes of ships
Some of that 91 million tons of coal per year produced in Germany ends up on my porch evert time it rains! The wind blows it up into the clouds and falls with the rain. They didn't tell you is that the company that owns this mine, cut down all the forest to establish this mine. This forest have been untouched for 12000 years and now it is nearly all gone!
What's new?
Well, the news is that now Germany plans to do away with all coal fired power plants by 2030! So, I wonder what the future holds for those by-then abandoned coal pits! Who is going to fill those gigantic pits that the coal was mined from?
What is the fate of the Hambach forest?
A pitch field is!
RIP AN 225…..
First 8 minutes is only about boats
The music is annoying
the antonov 225 was destroyed a few weeks ago on the ground in Ukraine
I cut it off at the 3 minute mark, realizing that the video is never going to get to the subject in the video title
I'm sick of following my dreams.
I'm just going to ask them where their going and hook up with them later.👍

Spark makes great content but really is terrible at naming videos accuratly
Just her accent: its amezzzzzzzing 😅😅
there is no tree at the end! militree or territree are not words.
20:00 $400,000 is amazing they only spent 400grand to restore those old trains you need some realy good machean shop engineers guys who can make cast of corse if they built them from iron ore to engin 100 years ago we should be able to restore one today lot of dieing trades I'm that just all the rivets alone
16:47 for trains
RIP Mriya
👍👍👍
38:40 RIP
8:20 1982 not 1976 falklands war
Needs re-titling…..
big boy 3985!!! iykyk

Who else would have built cargo freight ships?
Yes environmentally friendly, 🤔 just like plastic is recyclable ♻️
