wasnt this when the bridge was 100 years old and the ''rälsbuss'' was going to haparanda because people in haparanda and tornio could ride it over the bridge and also school kids including me (sorry for bad english)
In this video the train was a private charter for British rail enthusiast. The 100 year celebration happened few months after this in October 2019 with the rälsbuss (or kiskobussi in Finnish). Here are some pics (not mine) from that day: vaunut.org/sarja/4780
Nice video. By the way ... what is the max speed allowed nowadays in that track? More than 20 km/h I assume? Has Dr12 normally done visits in Haparanda when the model was in active use?
On the Finnish side max speed is 40km/h but since operations can only be done as ''switcher'' max speed is 35km/h. On the Swedish side max speed is still 10km/h for Finnish trains. About Dr12s, in regular use they never visited Haparanda. They where used on mainline services only.
Niin...jos pikkusen nähtäs vaivaa ja korona loppuisi, olisi varmasti matkailunkin kannalta hyvä. Paikalliset voisivat kyllä panostaa konseptiin...Nyt kun Pohjanmaan rata nopeutuu ja sama Ruotsin puolella, niin liikennetä voisi saada lisää.
Nowadays only Finnish locomotives cross the border to Swedish side (excluding some heritage trains) Swedish locos stopped crossing few years ago when bogie changing for freight cars in Finnish side ended.
@@dv42 oh i didnt know, its kind sad, i though that Finland is Europe lol. btw this is the main border line between finland and sweden? :D it look alike you guys hate each other ahaha
@@Schweizerleague Finland is definitely part of Europe, and a member of the EU. And not even the only country in the EU where the track gauge is not the so-called standard gauge. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all have 1520 mm gauge (though the new Rail Baltica will be built on 1435 mm). Spain and Portugal have 1668 mm gauge (except the Spanish high-speed tracks that are 1435 mm). Ireland has 1600 mm gauge. As almost all of the trade between Finland and the rest of the EU is maritime transport and only trade with Russia would go by rail in large quantities, there isn't much point in even considering a gauge switch.
40rokov som robil rušňovodiča tieto krásne videá pozerám denne i keď som už 10 rokov na dôchodku!!!
Thanks for the interesting video! I was there in 2016. I see a lot has changed ....

Nice cabride video! 👍🏻 I checked this train when it passed Kannus.

@@dv42 Thanks ; )
Tuonne kun pääsisi vielä joskus aikataulun mukaisella matkustajajunalla. Ja Ruotsin puolella kuulutus "nästa Haparanda, tåget fortsätter till Torneå"
Toivotaan parasta! :)

Does the Dr12 locomotive switch direction to go back to Finland?
Yes it did
Mikä tuo räpätysääni on tuolla ohjaamossa?
Ääni tulee vanhasta Hasler nopeusmittarista
Do Swedish and Finnish diesel locomotives cross that bridge?
The Swedish track appear to be very little if at all used.
Nowadays only Finnish locomotives cross the border to Swedish side (excluding some heritage trains) Swedish locos stopped crossing few years ago when bogie changing for freight cars in Finnish side ended.
Miten sä pääsit tonne ohjaamoon
Oli tuttu kuljettaja ajamassa
1524mm????? o_o
Finland still uses 1524mm gauge which is the original Russian gauge. Nowadays Russia and ex. CCCP uses 1520mm gauge
In Sweden there is standard gauge and therefore four rails between to make traffic possible both and.
@Pehr Sundbergh That is Finland uses a 5 feet gauge, originally from the US southern railways that traded their system into Russia.
