Brienz Rothorn Bahn (Switzerland) - Drivers Eye View
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 гру 2015
- With the mist lifting on a warm still morning we catch the first train on the last operating day of 2015. The train crew are very friendly; keen we should enjoy their railway on this wonderful autumn day. We start climbing through autumn gold woods with shafts of sunshine breaking through the leaf cover creating an almost magical atmosphere, before passing through a series of tunnels, between which the line is perched on a narrow ledge, with occasional stunning views over the lake far below. We pass the tree line onto the rugged mountainside for more dramatic vistas across deep valleys and snow covered peaks. Take a seat and enjoy one of the most outstanding rides in Switzerland.
The railway is 7.6 kilometres (4.7 mi) long and the track gauge is 800 mm (2 ft 7 1⁄2 in)
Filmed - 25 October 2015
It should not be taken for granted how much engineering and labor went in to building this stunning railway in such difficult terrain. Just beautiful in the Fall. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, this wasn't an easy railway to build, but I'm glad those early entrepreneurs risk so much to enable the general public to see what only intrepid climbers could see before the railway was built. I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.

Marvelous! Thanks for offering this to those of us who will never be able to get to your country. Real time, real view and no background music, the closest to "being there"!
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed it 😊😊
A glimpse of Heaven from a railway.
That's a great description for a ride on this delightful railway.
Can you imagine building this? Hats off to those who did. Great ride.
I thought the same thing. From stone to other it had to be built well 🛤👌
I agree. Hats off to them.

Freude herrscht! 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Good evening I'm from Algeria
I m from Mumbai Indian
Its like riding through an enchanted forest! So beautiful and I can't believe the track is less than 3 feet wide. Its better maintained then most railroad tracks here in the US!
I couldn't have picked a better day, the weather was perfect, the colors were magnificent, it was the last day of public services before the line closed for winter. I'm hoping to return to Pikes Peak Cog railroad (USA) when it reopens with new Swiss trains and upgraded track.
UNBELIEVABLE JOURNEY ...... I SAW SEVERAL COLORS OF THE NATURE ......
Hi, I'm please you enjoyed the ride, the glorious autumn colours and wonderful Swiss scenery combined to make this a very memorable experience.
Switzerland is a country gifted with panoramic beauty, landscape, really wonderful and really fortunate citizens to be born in a country of Peace, No corruption, lots of greenery and neat and organized nation. Thanks. Pronam.
Your description is spot on. Take care. Tim.
You can watch these videos again and again - still always seems like the first time. Great sleep therapy. Thanks Tim!
The gentle rhythm of a train sends both my daughter and father to sleep in minutes, it seems that videos taken from trains are nearly as effective as the real thing for inducing sleep. I'm glad you enjoy these videos, even if they do send you to sleep 😉
Rode this line nearly 3 years ago. A superb railway with some magnificent scenery. A trip which will still be in my mind in the years to come. If you're in this area, well worth a ride. Excellent video.
That last stretch is a killer! New definition of BREATHTAKING BEAUTIFUL!
Hi Deb, the air gets thinner towards the summit and the train doesn't even stop to let people get their breath back, the views really are breathe taking both visually and physically :-)
Einfach wunderschön, bezaubernd,das reale Traumnaturparadies.Das werde ich gleich Speichern.😍😍😍😍😍
Switzerland is God blessed country - sooo beautiful !!!
Mother nature with a little help, certainly blessed the Swiss with a wonderful country.
Blessed I dont know but the people are sure industrious and yes the location helps.

I wonder if the people from Switzerland are loving people???
I feel like I stepped back in time!! The beauty is beyond epic!!! 😊🇺🇲😍
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, Brienz is a beautiful place.
I watched this video for years, and I finally live in Switzerland and now I have taken this actual train. Thanks! Way better than you one can imagine BTW.
Hi, I'm glad you achieved your ambition to live in Switzerland, it's a place I'd love to be able to call home. The video gives an impression of the ride, but it's not a patch on doing it for real. Good luck and all the best in your new home.
I clicked on this with no intention of watching it all - but I couldn't stop. Every few minutes I'd think to myself "Wait - - We're going up There?!"
Hi, I'm glad you stuck with it, the ride is mesmerizing and the views are stunning, I hope you enjoyed it.
Every time I'm pissed off, I watch this video, it helps me to calm down and relax( by the way it's 13th time....) Thank you🤗👍
We all get a bit Peed off at times. I like to watch something with no story line, just scenes that remind of the things I enjoy. I'm glad this video has a calming effect.
Beats getting pissed on...lol
I feel the same as good or better at times than rain or snow relaxation videos.
l'm up to my 25th time. . .oozzfraabaa..
have you been pissed off again since?
Tim thank you so much for sharing this video. I've wanted to see what Switzerland looks like and its beautiful. I've always been interested in trains and love sound of trains. I've never been on a train trip. Would be wonderful to be on one for a few days to a week. Eating, relaxing, sleeping, and looking at beautiful scenery😅
Travelling by train is probably the best way to see Switzerland, There are plenty of tour companies offering rail tours around Switzerland at sensible prices. I have also toured by coach and train. Another way to experience Switzerland and its railways is to stay in Interlaken and buy a "Regional Pass Bernese Oberland" giving unlimited travel within a specified area covering many Of Switzerland's iconic railways and boat trips. Most trips are included, but travel on some private lines is at a heavily discounted rate.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I agree about trains being the best way to see Switzerland. I've taken 2 trips there where I got around mostly by train, with some boats and buses mixed in.
@@annealt9060 I'm pleased you enjoyed your trips to Switzerland, I visited earlier this year, just in time to ride some of the older trains, before they are replaced with new air conditioned units with no opening windows. I hope they keep running some of open carriages in the summer months, because its hard to take good photos through the glass used on modern trains. The new units are well designed and comfortable with large panoramic windows, but I'll still miss the older trains with their opening windows.
My dream is to ride the trains in Switzerland. How Beautiful. What a magic place.
Riding the trains of Switzerland was a long held dream of mine, eventually it came good and it exceeded all my expectations. I you get a chance to chase this dream, I'm sure you will enjoy the experience.
No worries about "Leaves on the line" there !
What a construction ! What scenery ! Beautiful.
You could be onto something with regard to leaves on the line, they'd have to find another excuse for the trains being cancelled or late. I'm please you enjoyed the video.
💕 Switzerland is incredible. Amazing culture, people, hospitality, innovation, beauty... God bless all of you!! Tack Schweiz!! 💕
The Swiss are friendly. I always look forward to my next visit ❤

i love this kind of videos, beautiful scenery + no annoying fellow passengers around
Hi I'm glad you liked it. This was the first train of the day, well before most passengers had arrived. Everything looked fresh as the morning was still young and the mist had only just lifted.
Thank you for posting this vid. It took me back to several train trips I took thru Switzerland many years ago. I missed this one, but your vid was almost as good as being there in person. Beautiful! Thanks again.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful scenery in this video, thanks for sharing..
+Bill Mathies
Hi Bill, this was a wonderful experience and the staff were great fun too as it was their last operating day before the winter closure. The weather was a real bonus coupled with the golden colors of autumn, this was probably the best day of the year to see the line.
Timsvideochannel1 hallo tim ein super video gratuliere dazu. alle sprechen vom indian sommer in canada aber wir haben auch schöne herbstliche farben nicht wahr .?
Hallo und vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Die Farben waren wunderbar, genau wie Herbst in Kanada
But the Basques can take an inhospitable Pyrenees mountain village and make it into an industrial powerhouse.
Amazing country. Small in size but big in importance. ❤️❤️
That's a good description, Swiss engineers are the best.
Reminds me of the snowdon mountain railway beautiful trip very relaxing thanks 😊
The Swiss mountain railways have a lot in common with the Snowdon Mountain Railway, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
Excellent! The autumn colours makes the scenery a wonderland. Thanks, Tim.
Hi Phil, the Autumn colours really enhance this already beautiful ride.
Great video and what a rail line. Man, right out of the station, that is one steep climb, you can see why this has to be a cog rail road. The style of ties on this line are interesting as well. Thanks for posting.
I love this 💖 cog railway 🚂 trip the beautiful scenery and the sound the train makes, thank you ☺️ so much
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
From John Marshall. Congratulations once again Tim. A fitting companion to "Steam on The Oberalp Pass." I never cease to admire those early Swiss for their foresight in building these beautifu railways.
+John Marshall
Hi John, I am very grateful to those who had the vision to build these incredible railways, as it makes the awesome views from the peaks available to everyone, not just well equipped walkers and mountaineers.
Thanks Tim for refreshing my memory of when I went up on the railway many years ago. It is one of the great train journeys.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, not only is it one of the great train journeys, I bet it has hardly changed since you made your trip.
I remember in my childhood I was there - Living two weeks in a guest house - half way at this mountain.
They are also diesel driven trains there, for service and transportation. The steam trains are for tourists.
Thank you for the video.
Nice memories to have, I was fortunate to travel behind a steam locomotive, some of the other trains were hauled by diesel engines.
Basically, it is a special kind of railway. slowly climbing to the top of the mountain !!!! Engineering miracle Made in Switzerland !!!! Wunderbar !! Danke shone !! What a panoramic excellent view of the mountains. WoW ))))
This railway is Switzerland at its best, awesome scenery and outstanding engineering. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Honestly .... I am impressed so much !!!!
New Year Greets from the pandemic Canada in 2021 for you.

@@dasboot5903 Hi, I am in the UK where the pandemic has caused another lock-down to be enforced, I'm sorry to hear that it is also causing serious problems in Canada.

Beautiful no word no painter can describe this scene as every word is short God is the best painter poet craftsman thanks
Mother nature and the Lord got together to create a true masterpiece 😊
Amazing amazing, beautiful beautiful, splendid and delicious. I thought about the people who built this all the way up. OH MY GOD. What a wonderful world we live in
to watch this from my couch in little Mt. Vernon, Wisconsin, North America , in a small village of 80 souls . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU EVERYONE. Peace&Love.
Switzerland is an awesome place and I love your comment. You Tube can take you anywhere and show you anything whether you are on a couch in Wisconsin or a chair in Bognor Regis.
Lucky you, it would only take you about eight hours to get there, while it would take me nearly two days from Gore New Zealand. Maybe one day :-)
Hey, Gore's a nice place, I love New Zealand's South Island, I'll be passing Gore in Feb 2019 on my way to Te Anau to visit Milford Sound and Fiordland. New Zealand's Southern Alps are awesome, great fun in a glider, although some Swiss style chalet houses would be a welcome addition, a cog railway to the top of Mount Cook might be asking too much. Of course I am not being serious, New Zealand is wonderful just as it is. I hope you get the chance to visit Switzerland again, there's nowhere quite like it and the people are so friendly.

you will be very welcome in my house next year. looking 4ward meeting you. keep in touch, cheers Markus
That is a very kind offer, I will be travelling with my sister on this occasion because she wants to see some of the amazing places featured in books I have bought back from New Zealand.

The Swiss love to construct railways up mountains to share the wonderful views from the summits, there is nowhere else like it, within 25km there are another 5 of these incredible railways, although this is the only one that features regular steam operation.
Thank you so much for this train ride in Switzerland. It was beautiful. Please put on more of these all over the world as it is the only way I'll ever see the world-again thank you and bless you.

Hi, I'm glad you joined me for this awesome ride. The world never ceases to amaze me and I get a lot of pleasure from sharing my adventures on UA-cam. I can never work out whether the people who built these railroads were mad or just incredible engineers and entrepreneurs, I think maybe they were a bit of both, but the world is a better place as a result of the things they did.

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, living there would be awesome, taking a holiday in Brienz is the next best thing.
I love how common sense is allowed to dictate safety measures. No 8' fences or huge warming signs. Reminds me of where I live now. Love it.
I live in the UK where massive fences are normal along railway lines, they look aweful when new and even worse at ten or more years old. Roads are really dangerous, yet they are not fenced off. I agree that reality should dictate safety measures. Another thing I have noticed about fences ... between the railway lines and the fence is always a mess, yet in most of Europe where there are no fences there is no mess. I'm guessing you don't live in the UK.
Good morning my love are you single

Beautiful trip, can't help to think what if a cog broke a tooth or the track had broken teeth. Would be some kind of roller coaster ride down that mountain!!! Great video, thanks for sharing
+vettebecker1
Cheers, it would make a brilliant roller coaster, but think it think it would be a one off. The reason it should not happen is that the carriages are fitted with cog wheels as well, so it would take a really catastrophic failure to turn a rack railway into a roller coaster.

Great cog rail, I like the wishbone sleepers, excellent way to anchor rails on that steep grade. Lovely scenery and the winding nature of the track was great. Thanks for another superb video.

Hi Peter, this is one of the most spectacular railways I've ridden and again I was lucky with the weather. Thanks for taking time to comment .... Tim.
+Andrew Gems
It is interesting that countries sharing a common language still end up using different words to describe the same thing, "sleepers" and "ties" describe the same item, there are many other examples such as "hood" and "bonnet", "trash can" and "dust bin", beautiful still means the same thing both sides of the Atlantic. Many part of Canada and Switzerland are very similar, featuring high altitude glaciers and skiing. Whistler has a noticeable Swiss feel to it.
Do those wishbone sleepers add a bit of stability and rigidity compared to the normal straight-across ones? Are they particularly indicated for a cog road?
@@b43xoit no. the "schynige platte railway" nearby (other end of lake brienz) is about the same age and steepness as the "brienz-rothorn railway" here and has straight metal sleepers. It's from the era around 1900 right at the beginning of tourism in our region here, when every railway was a one-off and no standardised system existed. All tourist railways here in switzerland from that era developed and use theyr very own system of cog, steam, electricity with different numbers of volt either AC/DC, one-phase (or two phase, only the kleine scheidegg to jungfraujoch railway!) etc. in our region this is the only railway with wishbone sleepers, and we've got many tourist cog-railways...
Watching this because I am so stressed out right now. Thank you . It's magnificent !
Hi, I'm sorry to hear you were stressed, I'm glad this video bought some much needed light relief.
Just as beautiful as the first time I watched this, and just as captivating. The Swiss have a magnificent land, and I thank all involved in bring it to us to see.
Hi, I totally agree with you, the guys who built this line took massive risks, both financially and physically, I'm glad they did, their amazing legacy is a real credit to all the people concerned, past and present, we mustn't forget those who keep it operational today.
More than 100 yrs ago, with less tech such an amazing rail route has been built. People were selfless and more hardworking then. But these days even simple flat roads are costing billions of dollars for no valid reason
Our forefathers had vision and a determination to see things through, they were not restricted by a health and safety culture that makes projects uneconomic before they start, add to that a plethora of regulations such as accessibility for the disabled etc ( BTW I do believe the disabled should have access where possible at a cost that does not kill the project). In the past, if someone wanted to build a railway up a mountain, it was only the physical mountain they had to conquer, today officialdom has become more of a challenge than the mountain itself. People still have vision and drive today, they will still take a gamble with their own money, it is often over regulation and the not in my backyard attitude attitude of a few people that makes projects uneconomic, a great example of this is the proposed high-speed railway from London to the North of England, it has already taken close on 20 years, cost an absolute fortune and nothing much has happen yet. In China, where government does not face constant re-election, they can just get on an build the railways. I do not propose that country's should be run in the same way as China, but somewhere in between Chinese and Western style government there is a sensible compromise that would allow things to happen, whilst adequately compensating those directly affected by new projects. Switzerland is a very democratic country and its people are sensible enough to know when projects should go ahead, they can see the big picture, hence why new transport projects both road and rail get the go ahead, there are a number of very expensive tunnels under construction or recently completed that will intimately cut both journey times and pollution, the Gotthard Base Tunnel being a good example.
Hello, Goat! 35:55. Thanks for the beautiful video!
The goat was very curious, it followed our train for a mile or more.
We call this a Gämsi (Chamois, a kind of goat antelope). They life in flocks above the tree line and are very shy, except for this one.
Good morning are you single
I was wondering how many others would "catch sight" of the goat...it was just trotting right along with that train for a bit. Very funny and cute!

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed this beautiful train ride.
Ich war vor fast 40 Jahren dort und fuhr mehrere Tage mit verschiedenen Zügen, um dieses wunderschöne Land zu erkunden. Ich sprach zu der Zeit fließend Deutsch. Vielen Dank für dieses großartige Video.
Die Züge in diesem schönen Teil der Welt sind so gut, dass es keine Notwendigkeit für ein Auto gibt. Ich bin mit allen Von Interlaken ausstrahlenden Bahnen gefahren, ich kann mir keinen interessanteren Bahnstandort vorstellen. Ich spreche nicht fließend Deutsch, aber ich bin Google Translate dankbar. Glücklicherweise ist die Schweiz mit der universellen Sprache natürlicher Schönheit geschmückt, einer Sprache, die jeder versteht.
Google Translate - The trains in this beautiful part of the world are so good, there is no need for a car. I travelled on all of the railways radiating from Interlaken, I cannot think of a more interesting railway location. I am not fluent in German, but I am grateful to Google Translate. Fortunately Switzerland is graced with the universal language of natural beauty, a language everyone understands.
