#2Fun and educational video!

#3That video turned out way more interesting than I first thought. I never really considered why the 380 makes that noise, i assumed it was a maintenance issue.

#4It's a mystery to me how the camera is mounted for the video at 7:55.

A drone ?
The camera follows the train so precisely that it seems it is mounted on the train, but it passes on the other side of some objects so it cannot be mounted on it.

I believe this is an example of ludonarrative dissonance. The camera is simply at a fixed offset from the train model.

That’s not a real life video. Is a capture from a train simulator app.
Like Microsoft Flight Simulator, but for trains.

The secret behind this camera is that it exists within a virtual world, and therefore can freely float anywhere ;)
An easier giveaway might be the floating teal icons on the station platform.

I think that's game footage, but not sure what game it is. The train game or sim genre has a bunch of folks who go incredibly deep and accurate in their representations of real trains.
If you want an incredibly detailed 3 hour history of the genre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vwE_p9SCXw

Your example is the exact answer.

#10Fascinating video! One of my favorite train vids is a Taurus starting up in frigid conditions. As the wheels slip and the PWM modulation on the individual motors varies to keep traction, it makes beautiful music.
