Unfortunately, only now UA-cam notified me about this channel. What a pity! As a trains and railways lover it's a gift to me. The channel's name is perfect, as traveling by train, is always very relaxing a huge pleasure even though virtually. Congrats for your good job and thks 4 sharing it with us. Greetings from Belo Horizonte, capital city of the state of Minas Gerais, Southeast of Brazil!
@edisonmirandarocha8568 Thank you very much for your kind comment. As a train lover, I think you will find some more interesting railway lines from different parts of Europe on this channel. I hope you will enjoy watching them. Grande abraço de Liubliana, Eslovênia, para Belo Horizonte. Tenha um ótimo dia!
@javierguidounicaud6621 Glad you enjoyed it! This winter days are short and we don't get so much sun ....hopefully I will get to film a snowy cab ride soon...
@Paolo Monteverdi Grazie. I am trying my best to improve the quality...I found this ride very interesting. I was travelling on Slovak train for the first time. Definitely want to go back and record other lines there.
Some say that this route is not interesting but believe me I do think it is interesting, especially on an old ZSSK 240! Really great and I find the route arrows also informative such as ‘to Bratislava NM’ etc
@simonpilk thank you for your comment. I would say, different people, different opinion. There is always something that suits someone better....and I am glad that it is like this.
Thank you very much for your videos, I really enjoy them. Yesterday I watched the Ljubljiana-Trieste one and it was awesome. Besides, the "ride" gets you relaxed and calm! Please make more videos!!! Greetings from Chile.
@@RailRelaxation In Chile, we used to have an interesting railway network (although not as intricate and complex as Argentina's). For example, from 1914 through 1975 we had the Ferrocarril Longitudinal Norte (we friendly called it "Longino") which ran from central Chile to the northern city of Iquique. It crossed the Atacama Desert! It took passengers about 4 days to get to their destination. We also used to have the Ferrocarril Transandino, which crossed the Andes mountain range and connected us with Mendoza (Argentina) and then Retiro station in Buenos Aires. Would you imagine yourself here, making videos like yours if you had a time machine?
@SouthernSoul2014 for sure I would love to film those lines...time machine would be great....but, anyway, I have a plan to go to South America and film lines around there. Can you give me some ideias of lines that are still operating? It is possible that I will go to Chile too.
@@RailRelaxation Well, in Chile railways are operated by EFE which is divided into 4 branches: (1) EFE Valparaiso which is in charge of Metro de Valparaíso, a service that connects the port of Valparaíso, the touristy city of Viña Del Mar and other cities in Valparaiso Region. (2) EFE Central which is in charge of the suburban service between Santiago and Nos, and the services Santiago-Rancagua and Santiago-Chillán (both cities in central-southern Chile). (3) EFE Sur which operates the Biotrén (a service that has 2 lines in the city of Concepción and surrounding cities and towns, with a 3rd line to be built soon); and the service between the cities of Temuco-Victoria. (4) EFE Arica which operates the Chilean segment of the line between Arica (the northernmost Chilean city) and La Paz (Bolivia), this line used to transport passengers in the past and it crosses the impressive altiplano (a high plateau in the Andes) to reach the Bolivian capital. In Chile, the railways tracks from Santiago to the south are 1,676 (Indian gauge), while the tracks from La Calera (which used to be the starting point of the "Longino" train) are 1,000. In the past, Chile had the Longitudinal Sur service which ran from Santiago (Alameda Station) to the city of Puerto Montt in the far southern region of Los Lagos. In Santiago, there was another station called Mapocho (a really beautiful one, please check photos here on the Internet) which provided a service between Santiago and the port of Valparaíso. Halfway in this line, there were 2 stations: Llay-Llay, where a branch line connected to the city of Los Andes which was the start of the Transandino (train that crossed the Andes mountains and reached Mendoza and Buenos Aires in Argentina); the second station was La Calera which was the head of the Longitudinal Norte, an incredibly long line that reached the far northern city of Iquique (this trip took about 4 days!). The service between Santiago and Valparaíso was closed in 1992 but years later the segment between the cities of Limache and Valparaíso was renewed to create the Metro de Valparaíso. In the past, lots, lots of branches started at different points of these longitudinal services (northern and southern, here we call them "ramales"), the only surviving one nowadays is Ramal Talca-Constitución, a picturesque service between the southern city of Talca and the coastal resort of Constitución. In the north, there is another peculiar railway service between the cities of Arica (Chile) and Tacna (Peru). In Santiago, another railway service is being built between this city and the cities of Melipilla and Talagante, reviving an old "ramal" that existed from Alameda Station to the nearby port of San Antonio and the resort of Cartagena -this service will be called Melitrén.
I have been to Argentina and learned about their former and current railway network. Argentina is a much larger country so, believe me, their past railway network was impressive. Impressive!!! There used to be trains to everywhere! They used to have long-distance services that connected to other countries in this region. At present, most of that network is dismantled but there's an intricate remnant (very interesting, for sure) in Buenos Aires. They have 4 main big stations where you can take trains to many, many towns in the Buenos Aires province. There's also a "long distance" service to their coastal resort city of Mar Del Plata. Buenos Aires has one the the biggest railway stations in the world: Constitución, which has 16 platforms. The other main one is Retiro, which is actually three!!! big stations one next to the other (each originally from a different company).
We used to travel a lot, by train when possible. The pandemic curtailed this but we hope to get moving again soon. Until then your videos are the next best thing. They are indeed very relaxing. Thank you.
Hallo, ich sag auch vielen Dank für eine weitere tolle Mitfahrt. 👍🏻 Ich weiß, es ist nicht immer möglich, aber die Aufnahmen aus dem Führerstand heraus ohne Windgeräusche ist einfach am Besten. Dankeschön und machen Sie weiter so.👍🏻 Viele Grüße 🙋🏼♂️
@A G danke. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your patience. I will try, always when possible, record the sound form the interior, as I managed in this video. Regards.
Thank you for a great ride. That's not one of the usual routes in Central Europe (swiss, germany, austria, france). What I have noticed. The platforms are extrem narrow and with zero comfort. The passangers have to walk over the railway track and wait there. At one station there is waiting a train direct nearby on the same track. Here in germany, if there are people on the track, it will closed immediately. Crazy.

@@ZvonimirZelenika it doesn't come very near to it, but yeah, you can definitely see it from the train, but is it really interesting? Maybe to some people. I find our nature, mountains and lakes way more interesting.
@felicemonzeglio3945 I can only show the speed that I obtain via GPS. Sometimes it is not accurate. But it gives us a pretty good idea about the actual speed.
Sorry if my comment is very long : Class 240 electric locomotives (formerly known as class S 499.0) were originally built by Škoda with the maximum speed set to 120km/h, particularly because the then ČSD (Československé státní dráhy a.k.a Czechoslovak State Railways) defined 120km/h as the max speed for trains on trunk railway lines (including those in southern part, which were electrified with 25kV 50Hz AC). ČSD did ordered 25 additional units of these locomotives to Škoda in 1970, and they were fitted with modified traction motors to allow them running as fast as 140km/h. Due to this, they were assigned new number that was known as S 499.1, allowing ČSD to differentiate them from earlier 120 units classified as S 499.0 (which are original locomotives that could run only up to 120km/h). However, they were later downgraded by ČSD (in term of its max speed) and incorporated into class S 499.0 (as S 499.0121 to S 499.0145) in 1978 due to lack of track section that enabled them to accelerate up to 140km/h. When Kryšpín numbering system then used by ČSD was officially abolished on December 31st, 1987 in favor of UIC numbering system (the current ones), both original S 499.0 and former S 499.1 locomotives were unified as class 240. The original S 499.0 that comprised S 499.0001 to S 499.0120 were renumbered as 240.001 to 240.120, whereas ex-S 499.1 (S 499.0121 to S 499.0145) became 240.121 to 240.145.
