This is really interesting. The train runs from the countryside into the big city. There are some interesting stretches of track with some rather interesting grades. The signaling system is interesting too. They use a combination of color-light signals along side some position light signals similar to those found on the old Pennsylvania RR. The catenary is similar to that found along the Northeast Corridor today as well.

RocketBoy1950 has some Japanese ones on his Channel too, even though he's a Melbourne Pacific National driver, find it interesting that he has Japanese ones too.

Cheers.

I'll have to check those out.

Thanks!

These signals are pretty interesting, I grabbed a pic of one (shown below) but this one doesn't seem to have the usual circular shape. Not sure if this is used as a position light signal though.

Thanks for the clear photo at least I can see what I was looking at. The ones in the video looked like they were round. I don't know what they are either. I couldn't find any information on them anywhere.
