Guest imported_Tesseract Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Originally posted by T.T Boy germany would ship goods to say italy by ship? I think that this conversation is becoming more interesting than the original one. To tell you the truth i dont really know what freights are really used for. I supose food, mostly meat, cheese and sensitive stuff in general. I dont really know what i'm talking about here but based on common sense i'll tell you what i think. 1st, europe is not that big and europes market aint that free (although its planned to be) meaning that everycountry likes to consume its own goods.Every european country has its own goods so the imported amount of products isnt that big and can be easily done with trucks and ships. Germany for example has some very large harbors as i know, mostly used for shipping products as i know. Imagine that if you want to travel from belgium(which is the center of europe geographicly) to any country in europe the distance aint that big. So, i dont really know what i'm saying but i think that some points are valid and make sense, if anyone knows better, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Originally posted by T.T Boy you guys ship your goods on passenger trains now? hahahahahahaha probably do... who knows whats changed since ive been there ;) still Imagine that if you want to travel from belgium(which is the center of europe geographicly) to any country in europe the distance aint that big. id say thats about right not much point in germany shipping stuff all the way around by boat when they can just use freights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Europe Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 About Europe in general: 1 Most passenger trains are as hard to hit in Europe as they are in the states. In a few systems stuff will run for a long time without being buffed. Most systems all graff will be buffed very quickly. 2. Freights are used for shipping goods here too, but alot of stuff gets shipped by trucks. Cans for example goes by truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cabin fever Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 I'd wager that Europe uses a lot more trucks than they do freights. The distances they ship are probably generally smaller than in North America (ie: where fruit comes from California to...everywhere else). Plus, from what I know, which is very little, it seems like their freight network is not as extensive as here, like not every city has freight lines running into it. I"m probably wrong, but thats the impression I get. I think ships and trucks are probably more on the go than freights.. As for painting, I think European freights look cool at least, those little ones that look like houses? Craziness. It would be interesting if someone just started steadily crushing that shit, like on some 1000-2000 freights just to see if people would start putting euro freight flicks in mags.... anyways, fatso paint some more fucking passengers and put me up jigga!

T.T Boy Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 all that i know is that alot of goods are shipped by truck in europe. something about switzerland and road damage. i might be talking out my ass here. any one know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid_Cologne Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 As for Trucks, this really depends on the city where you are. Here where I live I can rarely see trucks but when I was in Berlin I saw a lot of them in a few days. From what I heard of Paris they are hitting Trucks a lot. Most of the stuff is painted. Here in Germany we are hitting freights, but the most peoply are going out to paint Subway/Passenger or even High Speed Trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vynlone Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 euro freights.... I am starting to like the sound of doing a couple of freights where I could take my time and it would last a lot longer than a BR. If any UK writers post here and know any good freight spots then drop me a mail. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
