kind of nostalgic, I first watched this when I was like 4-5, also one of the first UA-cam videos I watched when I joined UA-cam, (I was obsessed with trains at the time)
This video is one of the videos i watched before i learnt english through youtube, my first ever interest online was trainspotting. Now im fully proficient in english and ready to apply a scholarship abroad from where i live but its really nostalgic to see these old videos. 👍 Awesome video man
I was always scared of this railroad crossing when I was younger, I once stood in the middle part while two trains were crossing past me from front and behind. Nowadays they rebuilt this crossing into a tunnel and now I never have to wait for a train to pass by when crossing the roads :U
Hoewel de situatie voor ons treinspotters wel mooi was, ben ik ook zeker blij voor de omwonende en verdere gebruikers van de overweg dat er nu een tunnel zit. De overweg is hierdoor een stuk veiliger en heel Bilthoven is nu overwegvrij.
Trains in the Netherlands rarely honk their horn. Only in case of danger. It's also true that a crossing should be closed at least 5 seconds, that a train can come over. In this case, the time is short, but sufficiently.
Not sure what you mean, but yes: even sidewalks are protected with gates. Not only because people like to ignore the signals sometimes, but you're looking at a special crossing: the station of Bilthoven has a, what we call, island-platform. You can go left or right if you want to leave the platform, which is why there are so many gates: every track has it's own independently operated set of lights, gates and bells, with additional safety so cars don't get stuk on 1 track while other is closed
Dutch crossing signals are very similar in operation to US signals. There are 3 lights on each gate, and the 2 inner lights flash in sync with the ones on the pole, while the 3rd light on the end is steady-burning. This is exactly what the US DOT has mandated for crossing gate operation in America. Gate mechanisms and lights are very similar to US types as well. The bells sound a little different, but I like the fact that they ring until the gates rise, which is required in California as well.
In Poland, like in Czech, about 2 minutes or more. But in most cases barriers are connected with semaphores and fall whenever a train enters the closest section. In less densed areas it can be quite long and you wait a few minutes.
I don't know why, but when i was little and would watch this video, i remember the frame around the light was soft, i dont know it just looked like it.
It depends on the type of crossing. The crossings with full barriers can be closed to road traffic a lot longer than the ones with half barriers. Normal timing is Yodalarms sound & 3 seconds of steady amber. Amber lights go out and 5 seconds flashing reds. Barriers lower. Entrance barriers first and when fully down the exit barriers. 8- 10 secs per pair. When fully down Yodalarms silenced. Signal clears. Train passes. Time depends on distance away from crossing it was when commanded to close.
Ah, so that's why UK-crossings are closed earlier. Dutch level crossings don't feature a connection with the signals along the tracks most of the time (a green signal will NOT guarantee a safe crossing (for the train that is)) I can understand you want to have it closed well in advance of the train passing if a signal has to clear for the train to be able to pass.
I live close to that railroad crossing, and I go like every week over it. And everytime when there's coming a train you her bels, and you can see the red lights. Its very normal in Netherland, but sometimes some railroad crossing doesn't work, so sometimes does the trains make a sound when that happend. And you can her that very well. And there isn't a horn so far as I know, and the speed is normal for here.
Well, the main reason Dutch trains don't use the horn is the thought that red lights, bells and barriers should be sufficient. Furthermore, the Dutch rail system is one of the most dense and busiest in the world. So at the busy places you would hear train horns all day and that would make it totally unsuitable as a warning device.
It's not so strange that our barriers, gates and stuff look so similar: when our rail-road system was to be modernised around the 1940'-1950's, they didn't want to invent something completely new. Instead, they took a good look abroad, in the US, where they found a good system of barriers and other equipment. The US-equipment was completely altered to meet the Dutch standards, and has become our standard rail-road crossing protection.
In the netherlands they only honk if there is a malfunction with the crossing. There is a special procedure for those events, train stops for every crossing, honks, and take off again. They also honk on crossings without warninglights, gates or bells. But those crossings are rare. In this vid there is a malfunction and they use the procedure: /watch?v=DOs4Y9LUV2s
Thank you for sharing great video. Red and white pattern. Bell sound of high speed roll. I enjoyed very surprised. Thank you. The pattern of yellow and black in Japan. Bell sound of the slow roll. Characteristic of the Japanese railroad crossing this two. It may be :)

Haha ja dat zeker en stukken veiliger. Had eigenlijk al veel eerder moeten gebeuren.

I actually like the arms where the lights are integrated. I wish they had them in the US but with more intense LEDs.
What are the arms where the railroad crossing lights that are integrated?
I love the speed train I wanna ride one of these European train someday.
I REMEMBER THIS VIDEO, I WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS 5 OR 6.

Its so nostalgic :O
Best Video Ever. Approved
Love the sound of those bells!

This is prob one of the first video many people watched
This video is my childhood 🥺
Awesome train..masterpiece of the urban transportation made by mankind, cool..!!
I love this video
0:02 really ?!
hoe kom ik toch altijd op deze video's terecht...
Oh, how interresting. A train went by. Can I have my :48 seconds of life back, please?
Hhhhmmm can i make it better by saying it was a dutch train?
Thats a long koploper!
I know what train is coming without even guessing. It's the ICM koploper!!!!!!!!
That was some cool looking train!!!!

The train did come so quickly!
The Country Is Called The Netherlands.
Someone should put in a GG1 horn as a sound effect for the train in this video, because that horn would really suit the ICM.
Someday when I earn my money, I'll use it to see the sights of Europe.
I have so many things to say.
1) Wow I remember watching this when I was 7
2) How did this get 13M Views?
3) Nice catch

0:20 look dat train
If you put it on 0.5x speed, it will sound like the US has possessed the Dutch railroad crossing
Everything about this is very very fast.
I live close to that railroad crossing, and I go like every week over it. And everytime when there's coming a train you her bels, and you can see the red lights. Its very normal in Netherland, but sometimes some railroad crossing doesn't work, so sometimes does the trains make a sound when that happend. And you can her that very well. And there isn't a horn so far as I know, and the speed is normal for here.
That miment you realize you was watching this when you was 7 years old XD
True
But this video came out when I was three and I probably first watched it at eight.
great video! :)

It got across in only 12 seconds!
@COD04MW only the bells not. The bells like a police sirene in Dutch :-)
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bells+lights - 15 seconds - barriers down - 10 seconds - train passes - I think the 10sec time is increased to 15 seconds in UK, what do people think?
0:02 got me dead on the floor laughing for some reason
I like this Dutch locomotive, so big
its not a locomotive its a multiple unit
Toch gek Frans, dat je hier zoveel viewers mee krijgt. Is dit echt byzonder? wel cool!!!
The gates on the road reminds me to the one in Indonesia.
Wow 🙂

It is funny how the dutch and danish language is related. if you would say this in danish it would be: sporovergang. Almost the same :P
The train went really fast at the crossing
Traffic responsive as lights blink faster. According to Dutch research.
