The Harmelen train disaster was the worst railway accident in the history of the Netherlands on 8 January 1962. Harmelen, in the central Netherlands, is the location of a railway junction where a branch to Amsterdam leaves the Rotterdam to Utrecht line. It is common at high-speed junctions to avoid the use of diamond crossings wherever possible — instead a ladder crossing is employed where trains destined for the branch line cross over to the track normally employed for trains travelling in the opposite direction for a short distance before taking the branch line. The accident happened 1.5 year after the Warden train accident, the derailment of a Bri...

The Harmelen train disaster was the worst railway accident in the history of the Netherlands on 8 January 1962. Harmelen, in the central Netherlands, is the location of a railway junction where a branch to Amsterdam leaves the Rotterdam to Utrecht line. It is common at high-speed junctions to avoid the use of diamond crossings wherever possible — instead a ladder crossing is employed where trains destined for the branch line cross over to the track normally employed for trains travelling in the opposite direction for a short distance before taking the branch line. The accident happened 1.5 year after the Warden train accident, the derailment of a British furlough train nearby. Previously the Weesp train disaster of 1918 had been the worst railway disaster in the Netherlands.

N198 Utrecht - Woerden, NL

Provincial road N198 between Utrecht and Woerden in the Netherlands. This road runs parallel to the A12 motorway, but is certainly not a good alternative

Recorded: 16 February 2014

Utrecht-Papendorp, NL

Confusing route to get on A2 from Utrecht. The video begins at the Prins Clausbrug (Prince Claus Bridge) and continues through the Papendorp office park which is only partially developed. Then onto A2 at the Leidsche Rijn Tunnel.

Havana Cuba City Tour 4K

english / deutsch:
A sightseeing tour through Havana belonged to us for the Varadero holiday. The lively capital has plenty to offer. The tour of the old town was very impressive, especially the Plaza Vieja (Old Square). Other highlights I got before the camera. These included, among others, Plaza de la Catedral, Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro, San Francisco de Asís Square, Plaza de la Revolucion, Castillo de la Real Fuerza, Museo del Ron Havana Club. From Fort San Salvador (Castillo de San Salvador De La Punta) we had a nice view of the city. The busy streets with the many bars and restaurants and the colorful oldtimers rounded off this sunny day.

Eine Sightseeing Tour durch Havanna gehörte für uns zum Varadero Urlaub. Die lebendige Hauptstadt hat jede menge zu bieten. Der Rundgang durch die Altstadt war sehr eindrucksvoll, vor allem der Plaza Vieja ( Alter Platz ). Weitere Highlights habe ich vor die Kamera bekommen. Dazu gehörten u.a. der Plaza de la Catedral, Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro (Festung El Morro), der San Francisco de Asís Square, der Plaza de la Revolucion, Castillo de la Real Fuerza, Museo del Ron Havana Club. Vom Fort San Salvador (Castillo De San Salvador De La Punta) hatten wir einen schönen Blick auf die Stadt. Die belebten Straßen mit den vielen Bars und Restaurants und die bunten Oldtimer rundeten diesen sonnigen Tag gelungen ab.

Bicycle trip - Zeist - Driebergen - Doorn and vice versa

This is the bicycle trip of 2010.12.20. The temperature outside was -6 degrees C. The route started at the Schaerweijdelaan in Zeist following the Utrechtseweg (00:00:05) and then the Driebergseweg (00:05:00) in the direction of the Driebergen - Zeist train station (00:13:00). After the DZ station the route was along the Hoofdstraat, passing under Highway A12 (00:15:55) towards Driebergen. Then onwards to Doorn following the Driebergsestraatweg (00:30:00), and just before reaching the center I decided it was time to turn around and via the Berkenstraat (00:38:37) I took the Oude Arnhemse Bovenweg (00:41:25) and followed this road all the way back via Driebergen to Zeist. The last bit of the trip lead through the city center of Zeist (2e Hogeweg (01:14:15), 1e Hogeweg (01:15:38), Oude Arnhemseweg (01:16:55). The video ends near the de Genestetlaan (01:20:50).

The conditions of the cycle lanes are a mixed bag. In some places it is fairly good, in some it is really bad and bumpy. What I don't understand is why often the left side of the lane is better than the right side of the lane. In NL we ride on the right hand side of the road, and a lot of the bicycle lanes had only one direction.

Zeist really could do better in the direct vicinity of the train station. And Driebergen could do better in the cleaning of the cycle lane of the Arnhemse Bovenweg in the direction Zeist.

And oh, the short breaks in the video are because the camera that I have can only save files that are about 2Gb in size, which comes down to 8 minutes 20 s of video.

Although the videos were shot at 1280x720, the maximum that works is 480 at the moment. I don't know why it doesn't work. YT, is it still processing?
