As an ex rail worker, these sounds bring comfort. 😊

Thanks youtube recommended, this is exactly what I wanted to see at 2:07 AM

Seeing the track dip and the sparks fly as every wheel passes puts me on edge.

As a child, I lived a street away from a railway crossing in suburban Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tracks were so terribly maintained that I could hear this same characteristic "thap-thap" all the way from my home everytime a train passed by. This video is actually nostalgia material for me lol.

If a Japanese Bullet Train *_(Shinkansen)_* technician saw this I think they’d cry... the tolerances they work with are *_insane !!_*

I need an 8-10 hour version of this. Just love this particular sound collection of railroad operation.

That one rail bolt hanging on to his life is the real hero in this clip @ 1:25 .You hang on there little fella

Placing stones on tracks just before train could come and watchin that stone breaking and flying plus the hearing of sound of it was my CHILDHOOD FAVOURITE TIME PASS.

1:48 the righmost bolt: "I'm helping" - lol

This also shows the tremendous forces at work every time any train runs over any track. Train tracks definitely really take a pounding wherever they are.

Very interesting, now I know how this noise is generated. I always loved that noise of clapping, it somehow makes me sleepy

So I know this is old now but still awesome. I cant believe though it took me several years to realize how dangerously close you were to a bad joint each time. I'm left with a realization that whether it gives out or not its the next track end downrange that might cause a derailment right next to ya. At least with a simple quick physics crunch.

this sound took me back my childhood train trip , I miss those years

Its crazy how well they work even when damaged. Could you imagine all of the accidents?

Now i am satisfied to know how train makes those accent 🙌🏼❤️

Huge train masses on bad rail joint! Sweet sound! 15M people : interesting

0:44 Yes, trains go through puberty too.

I like how this comment section is an argument between Serbs and Americans over who has the shittier rails

I had never thought that the 'sweet sound' was actually the sound of a broken joint ! Thanks !!

I love videos where people say a strange sound was coming from the sky. The strange sound always sounds similar to things I heard growing up, in a house close to the train tracks!

2:10 This looks like one of those scenes in movies where they dramatically zoom in on a piece of machinery that's about to fail and kill everyone.

Am I the only one that finds these sounds kinda cool and relaxing?

So interesting. And very special. Dangerous? 😵💥

The sweet sounds of bad infrastructure 😂

I saw a train video that was made right around World War II of how much missing track it would take to derail a train. The findings were actually astounding. The trains they tested would jump a 3-foot section of missing track with no problems. If I could find it I would post it here.

This is a fracture.. please do inform to authorities after finding those..

Thank you very very much to KZfaq channel and the staff to show us this great things keep it up friends.

I finally know the source of that thap-thap noise Always wondered in childhood why train makes that noise... I thought our governments 's maintainance was bad😅 Edith :thanks for the likes

Fortunately the area around the Rakovica station has been renovated recently, including (I think) most of this: new rails, ballast, concrete sleepers etc.

0:10 so that is how drugs are made

I lived next to a railroad and heard this noise all the time. I never knew it was bad rail joints... lol! My favorite noise is when the train is stopped and starts going. The horn and then the "boom, boom, boom, boom" as each connection in the train gains tension with accelerating.

For me (I was railwayman) these sounds were, are and will be all time very pleasure music...

Although it is obviously very desirable that the track be maintained and repaired, it does show how (at low speeds) trains can manage on very rough track which is why they can be useful in emergency situations and have worked well on battle fronts.

I needed a rough joint. Ooooosh I feel so good with this rough joint. It makes me feel like I want to connect-up.

It is a good thing that the end post between the to rails with this insulated joint to separate track circuits is still holding up. If not, there would be some signal and possible indication Problems for the Dispatcher / Operator if this CTC REMOTE CONTROLLED section of the railroad.

Great & epic rail work....I like IT!!!! Big like from Romania

Don't be Japan Railway. If this had happened in Japan will hold a press conference.

Had my volume maxed out and almost had a heart attack when I heard the loud screeching

The sound of trains is simply wonderful! I love this! Very nice video!!!

The house I grew up in is right beside the tracks, every morning you would hear a loud popping sound as the sun warmed up the tracks. In the evening time it would make a popping sound as the rail joint cooled down for the day. This happened for several years until they finally resurfaced the track.

HaHa, loved the "sweet sounds of bad rails" !! very interesting video about "bad tracks"

Great sound - wonderful !! Zgrzyt wspaniały.

❤ indian railways just keeps making this beautiful sound ❤❤

I’ve changed them rail joiners once. It’s one hell of a job. But it has to be done. Great video very original

I listen to theese sounds for hours when i travel in these trains

If enough trains run over, it maybe get cold welded

Worked at a company for 40 yrs that had about 25 miles of railyard & 110 switches . I inspected & helped maintain the yard. This was a familiar sight..

Almighty lord, What the hell am I doing with my life!? Nice camera work though. And and those loose bolts, holy crap, I'm about to have an anxiety attack lol

Few first seconds, the part with stones on track. As a dumb young kid I've done it with friends, until I've seen on my own eyes as splinter of much harder stone (I think we accidentally put a piece of granite on track instread of a sandstone) blew from wheel and literally cut down young tree measuring ~4cm in diameter. Thank god it did not hit us, it would equal shooting someone to the head with shotgun slug from point blank range. Me and my friends matured in an instant. Seriously, at least STAND THE FUCK OUT if you plan on playing that game. It will at least give you time worth half a blink to dodge projectile...

Amazing what people are into. Taking train spotting to the next level.

Starting at around 8:20, all the remaining video footage is of broken rail that has been repaired. The standard procedure for a quick fix is to bolt an angle bar across the break. I worked at a railroad yard as a contract employee for nearly 21 years and saw this over and over.

Omg finally I know what happens if u put stones on track. I always wondered, but was afraid of putting rocks on a track

The fish-plate ( the name of the bar connecting 2 lengths of rails as seen in the points (switch in America) does not carry any load when a train passes over the joint. It's sole purpose is to keep the 2 rails lined up with each other. The bolts through the fish-plate are not fully tighted as that would prevent thermal expansion occuring (in the UK the gap between each rail is set at 3/32" (or about 2.4mm) with a rail length of 60' (about 18m)). A broken fish-plate is a serious matter. As is the moving sleeper (ties to the Americans) that are moving along with the bolts securing the rails to the sleepers coming out of the sleepers. I thought for a moment that the wagons at the 05:00 mark were British bogie steel wagons (BR TOPS Code: BBA); they aren't but they do have a passing resemblence.

Another great video. Thanks for posting. Great angles.

This is so cool and studied the sound where it was coming from

O my God...its too much risky track.

Great video. that is a derailment waiting to happen.

Так звучат только плохие рельсы? Мне кажется, в детстве я только такие звуки и слышал на протяжении всего пути😄 шикарные звуки😍 в будущем, когда будут только поезда на магнитной подушке, в них следует добавить генераторы этих звуков, как добавили звук затвора в цифровые камеры😁

I remember a level crossing that had an intersection between trains and trams on it, the crossing was so poorly maintained you could see it bouncing up and down under the weight of the trains, making a very distinct sound. It had a tendency to derail trams aswell

From the look of the rail heads this has been going on for quite a while.

10:07 recommended

I pointed out to our local RR guys that parts of the track had split and they we’re running on half a rail. They said it’s okay, when we derail they fix it.

I thought: well if it derails at least he can zoom out and have a nice shot of a freight train derailment, and suddenly he strts walking like 4 feet away from the rails. Lul

When half the comments consists of different languages

Did you report this to authorities after you got it on video?

Nice seeing they fixed the joint in some of these clips

Great video including sounds 👍

That's horrific. Broken fishplate, sleepers pumping badly in the ballast and sleepers so rotten the bolts have nothing left to grip. And looking at it, it's been that way for months on.

This reminds me of the flight from Los Angeles to Baltimore, sitting in the window seat above the exhaust end of the engines, watching dozens of rivets loose in the wing's sheet metal panels. They constantly vibrate, wearing away the holes. I felt like William Shatner in the Twilight Zone "Gremlins" episode, when he kept seeing a creature outside his window, trying to destroy an engine :) It would take a pretty large linear gap in the RR track (along wheel's path of travel) to cause a serious problem, but a lateral gap, such as a skewed rail...... bad day at the office for sure.

Sucesso sempre amigo em sua vida sempre Deus da as grandes batalhas somente aos grandes guerreiros o sucesso está em suas mãos 👐🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤝🏼🇧🇷 .Deixando aquele GIGA 👍🏼

Outstanding video BTW

Makes me want to get some big wrenches and a sledge hammer and go about fixing things.

wonderful, gorgeous train ray sound 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

To all those saying that this was Indian railways. We don't use wooden slabs, all of them are made up of concrete here .

Watching the track bounce puts me in a soothing trance. Weird

The broken joint is still working, great !

Дайте лайк что бы иностранцы подумали что я что то годное написал.

For no reason I find it so satisfying watching it fully at 0138hrs 👀

That movement is free energy. Wow!

It would be funny to watch that screw finally fall over and some one come over and push it back in then say all fixed now no problem.

0:20 who else when they was little did the same thing

Waow, thanks for the recomendation youtube 👍

These sounds r our child hood memories 😍

Funny story, at 3:25 you can see an empty area on the left, between two sets of tracks. There are two more set of tracks that go there, but during the filming they were in the process of being replaced with now ones. Funny part is that the tracks shown in the video are not being replaced as the state's railroad infrastructure company stated that only main TWO (of total 6) tracks in the Rakovica station need replacing.

Believe me, the engineers already know where these spots are as their train passes over these same bad spots everyday. Nothing will get done until there is a total failure (derailment). Near my house in the late 70's in northern NJ, we had these failures and huge rail gaps on a daily basis. The fast trains were going 70MPH and were over 125 cars long and made a huge racket 5 times a day. We, as kids, (about 10 of the usual gang) removed the J bolts that hold the square wooden railroad ties' metal plates and hammered those metal plates down vertically into the gaps between the ends of the rails. This left about 10 inches of the heavy metal plate sticking up. We did this on every rail (each rail back then was about 25 feet long) for about 300 feet of a curve. When the next train came KABLAM, CRASH huge derailment and almost all cars would come off the tracks or flip over leaving their goods everywhere. We stole whatever we could get our hands on. (Schlage locks, Schlitz beer, Nekoosa paper, Aunt Jemima french toast, huge crates of veal and pork, orange juice etc etc. Police come, but we're already hiding in my house (about 200 feet from the tracks) going back and forth getting more goods. Understand that all neighbors hated the noisy trains and we as kids had a love/hate relationship with them. The RR crew had to fix all broken rails and support pieces. The whole cleanup took abouit 1 week. Nowadays, the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI would be swarming all over due to us. We derailed the trains twice in a 5 year period. The 2nd time, we removed all the J bolts for about 20 feet of rails and used a huge hydraulic jack in between the rails to separate them about a foot. Next train derailed easily. The good old days. Let the nasty comments begin, LOL. At least we called attention to the bad maintenance and got things fixed. And no one got hurt either, not the train conductor or any others.

Sunt foarte frumoase aceste videoclipuri cu trenuri și sunetul rotilor de tren este foarte plăcut 👍🌍

So I guess it’s safe to say that the TGV won’t be using that section of track just yet....all joking aside, I enjoyed seeing how the rails and sleepers reacted to the weight. Thanks!

7:25 That fish plate is broken.

Seen joints like that right in bergenfield n.j. 10 yrs ago told police wouldn't even come out.or call them .

Any aircraft pilot would easily dismiss it with: "any joint you can walk away from, is a good one."

FELICITĂRI pentru postare .

First of all... NEVER put rocks or anything for that matter on the railroad tracks. There is always a chance of a derailment or flying objects. The safety of others is very important! Other than that, great video! Keep it up!

Aw just stuff some old magazines under that track joint , it will ok....

Jointe....Subject,Vedio, highliting the main point....👍👍👍 Made this Vedio special.👍

Im glad this was recommended

The first scene I did that as a kid 45 years ago, we put rocks sometimes for a 100 yards like that, man the sound....

I've seen some weird track joints. But this is beyond extreme.

I remember back in the 60's when I was a kid, we lived almost next to tracks, had to go around building to get to them. anyway I remember going up to box cars left on tracks and pull this bar that stuck out, and the car rolled a bit. so I/we did that to all of them, lol.

Heard lots this noises when I traveled with trains. Still loves trains and stuff.

Beautiful!
