16:40 During neutral sections if you're actively drawing power when you enter them, you can cause an ark to the pantograph. This can cause damage to the overhead lines, the pantograph, and the electrical systems on the locomotive. Dropping the pantograph ensures you are safely isolated from this. Modern trains have systems to deal with this automatically, IIRC neutral sections exist because the whole network isn't powered from start to end, but there are several sections that get the power supply from their own sub station. So when you enter a neutral section you leave the network powered by one substation and enter one that is powered by another electrical sub station..
Cheers for the explanation! Was wondering about that myself. I presume those neutral sections do have a way to power them in case a train stops at just the "wrong" spot? Or are they not really sections, but more like a gap in the wire that's only a couple inches long?
@@AgentWest Honestly no Idea, I've only read that in some places those sections are insulated and that the different networks can't be too close to each other. I haven't read yet an explanation as to why have overheads on those sections at all instead of empty space, maybe it's easier to convert them to powered section when there are changes to the network.
Seeing Drae hunting a bear with an AK-47 out the window of his moving dilapidated locomotive... priceless! I am glad he showed his outdoorsfolk values and didn't waste the meat.
Hey Drae Love your videos. power engineer here who works electric train, what you drive through is a neutral section, reason for doing it is a phase change there 3 phase ( L1 L2 L3 ). when trains enter a neutral sector, it still has one phase with e.g. L1 and when it exits, it exits in L2 this gives a short this only applies to AC networks. this is made very simple for convenience
@@Spartan9285 no the current is the same but the phase of the phase is different. Yes and no where I work the trains are lowering the pantograph ( the thing that is in contact with the power line).
Draegast i have been watching your channel for years and years and i gotta say, your content never gets old. Keep on being the best you can! Much love!
@@shibby1016 lol Don't get my wrong, I love good ole SkillymcFilly, but Drae is a day one for me. He will forever be top on my list of best UA-camrs. Been watching him for almost 10 years now 😂 crazy
There is a story in Siberian about a legendary cargo train and the alcoholic driver who sometimes jumps out and gets unconscious. But don’t mess with him, a sharpshooter who can take out a horde of deer or a bear on the moving train. And even with a strange rumor that he had killed someone on the trail, but it’s just a rumor with no clue.
Train driver here, Yes at the signal you need to disconnect main switch, from load circuitry. In simple: For electrical reasons the Overhead Powerline Electricity is "bad" at this section, or just not there at all. It can have a variety of reasons in detail why, but sure is you don't want to ignore the "EL" Signals (Electrical) At this magnitude of electrical powers even a small deviation in AC Frequency can fry your XX Million €/$ Locomotive to a brick if ignored.
At 16:46 when the power shorted out that brake handle, you couldn’t get to work lit up like you could use it when you were on the backside of the throttle podium
9:32 What is wrong with jumping off a train at 10km/h? Tried that once, won't kill you, if you land properly, but still got my scars on elbows. So exaggerated, but still not really safe.
I mean, Russia is mostly wilderness so wouldn't the travel distamce imcreasing make sense? Outside of a few clusters, there's generally not much of anything out there.
Hello thou peasants. I am to announce that I am the first comment. It was trial and error working on establishing the first comment, but I did it. I like to thank god, my mother, my father, and me for completing such a task. Get rekt everyone.

Thank you came back to this video just to find out why that happened

priceless?... you say that as if you can actually sell this video at an auction or pawn shop. I bet you use a lot of terms in low intellect statements
6:20 is the part OP is talking about for anyone wondering
@@evilswissyI don’t think he meant to use the word priceless like that
9:53 hahaha I was NOT ready for that call XD
Hey Drae
Love your videos.
power engineer here who works electric train, what you drive through is a neutral section, reason for doing it is a phase change there 3 phase ( L1 L2 L3 ). when trains enter a neutral sector, it still has one phase with e.g. L1 and when it exits, it exits in L2 this gives a short this only applies to AC networks. this is made very simple for convenience
So the power lines have a different current to the train so to prevent a short circuit you cut the power entirely off the train?
@@Spartan9285 no the current is the same but the phase of the phase is different. Yes and no where I work the trains are lowering the pantograph ( the thing that is in contact with the power line).
9:53 excuse me what? lolol

You are clearly not speaking of the gast channel. For better multi player content switch to skillys channel

Hi Sally 👋😅
🤣

drae when you killed a guy he gave you 3$
Homeboy went for the beer in the unconscious toilet man hand ahahhahaha
I started playing Dave the diver and your video have been such a huge help 😊
Lets gooo! Always a good morning with drae
9:52 🤣
Epic! Thank you again Drae, your videos are the literal best
9:53 ok
18:06 ☠
what was that about the fork and Sally??
Drae that one deer ran away, changed its name to MeatyBits and sometimes appears in GrayStillPlays videos to spite you.
Game: "SPEED UP"
Drae: "We should probably start slowing down ". Typical.
This game hurts my brain 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Hey Drae what happened to that poor person to your right at 18:38? It looks like they died, any comment as to what happened?
Spontaneous death is a real problem out in the Russian wilderness, apparently
9:32 What is wrong with jumping off a train at 10km/h? Tried that once, won't kill you, if you land properly, but still got my scars on elbows. So exaggerated, but still not really safe.
Drea murders a guy.... "alright just had to change the track".. yeah sure bud
Watching this on a train
Nice vid brother
"Hey, bear!"
Well that seems to be drae's downfall his need to get loot and his morbid curiosity
Drae when is the next episode of teardown coming out?
Never.
What are the odds you revisit that zombie train game? Zompiercer I think it was called.
Drae your videos are too short but so are koalas. 🐨
I think you can sell meat and pelts to the forest ranger
not going to lie.. that was the most akward toilet scene
Drae please start playing barn finders again I recently beat it all there's alot more main barns
I'm a Drae late and a Gast short.
I mean, Russia is mostly wilderness so wouldn't the travel distamce imcreasing make sense? Outside of a few clusters, there's generally not much of anything out there.
You changing channel name to Sally lmao
Hi Sally, my name is DiiZE 😂😂😂
As opposed to Sky carrots 🥕
Why buy food, when there's free food in the garbage cans?....
if you use your pew pew then everything is free and it's alot more fun too. 😀
Illegal to kill bears. In Siberian😮😮😮😮
Is it legal to blow up trains and stab people?
HI SALLY
🍴 Sally
Drae can I have that fork back that you borrowed last week?
Cool
the reset when you took damage was a bit unfortunate it ruined the magic for me
That is wolf not coyote
❤
drae a murderer lol
I caught it at 23 seconds after release and i still wasn't first
Serial killer
21:34 going into the fence to talk to dimetri a bear had spawned in there for me and i almost needed new shorts but the drako handled it
Day 5 of asking drae to play helldivers2
Beer skin

4 seconds no views bro fell off
19 subs in 3 years? Bro fell off
Damn no views in years? Sad coping attempt
Let this meme go
Actually he didn’t fall off you did
You aren't funny
