I have done this journey many times for skiing holidays. The most memorable was when an old duffer drove his Subaru into the train just after we left Chur railway station! Train was delayed for 40 minutes or so while it was sorted out. Happily, the only injuries were suffered by the old boy's motor car...
Absolutely lovely, despite the glare. I love the metadata you edit into the video. Most of us “rail riders” are also geography nerds and it enhances the experience to be able to pinpoint your location. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
WOW What a great video.No obnoxious music no voice overs and no propaganda telling us to be 2 m apart.Well done.I will certainly put Switzerland on my bucket list.Greetings from Toronto Canada where we are constantly being brainwashed by the "experts"
How my heart leapt when I saw you had filmed the Arosa Line. My enjoyment was not spoiled by the sunlight. I keep a rail map of europe and shade in the video cab rides I find here on UA-cam, and your films add to a big gap of my coverage of Eastern Switzerland. An absolute delight. MAny thanks. Greetings again from Port Moresby PNG.
The world is having a hard time with covid19, but after overcoming this crisis, I will definitely travel to Switzerland. Good luck everyone. From Tokyo, Japan.
Amazing video, brought back some great memories! In 1976 when I was 8 my grandmother took me to Switzerland and we stayed in the hotel in Litziruti and everyday we caught the train to travel to Arosa or Chur. I am from the UK and seeing this I would love to return when this Covid business is all over. Again thanks for posting, reminded me of being a young boy again having an amazing adventure with my grandmother! She died in 2011 with Alzheimer's, a horrible way to end your life, but this video helps me to remember her as the amazing woman she was with a love for travel and life and the friends she made on her trips to Switzerland. She loved Switzerland and this beautiful country always reminds me of my grandmother.
Oslo's T-Bane takes passengers from the centre past Holmenkollen ski jump up to Frognerseteren, and in winter it's full of skiers. City to mountains, on a regular suburban train. It's a beautiful ride, too, like this one :)
Thank you very much for posting. This must be early Spring. We were on a tour with John Rogers 2 years ago, “LGBTOURS “ and since we arrived a day early from Baden-Baden, we took this ride from Chur. It was beginning of August, and very warm. Arosa is a beautiful place to visit. A cable car lift right next to station. Thanks again for sharing with the world. After Covid-19, we hope to be back there in late April, early May 2022. All our best to you from the states.
A long time ago I made this journey to and from Arosa in late February/early March. Lots of snow! I would really like to see it again in winter. Meanwhile, I really enjoyed this and thank you for showing the whole thing without edits.
Nice video. Beautiful scenery. Also, I want to commend you on adding information when us viewers make requests to do so. It shows thoughtfulness, and should go a long way to increasing your subscribers. Keep up the excellent work.
Absolutely amazing as are all your videos but the Arosa line is my favourite on the RhB network as it starts as street running and Chur and then keeps climbing to one of my favourite ski locations. Thank you.
Thanks for a wonderful trip. Well done, only saw one spelling error for single instead of signal. Near the end. Would have loved to have done this trip myself. Look forward to more.
I really enjoy watching these (as we can't travel on the RhB lines at the moment!). Thanks for putting all the information in the vid too. Greetings from New Zealand!
Thanks for posting the return journey, it's added a few more days to my life, as I have no intention of dying before I get to travel on this line! The information is great and getting better as time goes on - thanks for all your hard work preparing these videos. It is much appreciated. I hope that the line is able to get back to its normal passenget traffic soon. Stay safe.
Happy memories for me. In early 1960's I used to ski every christmas and new year in Arosa and this great line was the way we travelled there. All Swiss railways are so well organised co-ordinated and punctual regardless of which train companies are operating the services. It makes me very jealous considering the shambles we have in 🇬🇧
Great video; I agree with the comments about the low-key commentary (no rap music etc.) My ONLY disappointment was that at the 0m55s mark we didn't go around the roundabout (grin!) Chris
It must be very tall mountains getting the sun that low;-) Lovely ride. And as Graham Nancledra mentioned a few posts earlier, your vid fills a gap. There are only a few. Most of them with flaws, unstable mounted downwards dropping cam, grainy hand helt '90's. The sun issue fits into a tradition, perhaps even an Arosa cam curse;-)
Thank you once more, always a pleasure to watch one of your clips. At around 12:20 and 32:20 we see clear signs of the route having been realigned away from the hillside, presumably for similar reasons to the alterations above Brusio Spiral - how much rockfall do you expect on this route? Are those non-public passing stations ever used for special sporting events or only for signalling trains? Final thought, the sun will always be in your face on this route unless you come downhill in the mid afternoon, doesn't worry me one bit, look forward to every new post \m/
Great video, and the extra information in the video is really well done and appreciated! The "special type of point" as you are passing the old depot is called a Spring Switch or Spring Points in English.
Stunning journey but what a shame about the direct sunlight which meant you missed so much of the beautiful scenery. Hope the same journey can be done again without the sun !
Hello CalandaMountain. I am Pedro, I am from Lisbon and i am (i hope) a future train driver in Portugal. I really like your videos for the stunning views but also to see how signalling changes for country to country. I was in Zurich as a planespotter for the Davos 2020 summit, and of course I spent some time taking photos to trains and trams in and around Zurich HB. I have some questions about Swiss train rules. There is any way I can make them to you? One more time, thanks a lot for your amazing videos. Pedro.
UA-cam doesn't have private message, and I don't use Twitter so I don't know if it has Private Message. In general from what I see, in Swiss you have to know the speed limits of every km you drive, because only specific places have the speed limit visible correct? And the most confuse part for me as a Portuguese train driver "wannabe", how do you know (not in this line but in general), in what station platform will you enter? Other words, how do you know the route is made for your way? Here we house route indicators in places where track diverges. Thank you for your answer. If you use Instagram, i am "busorganist" there. Cheers
Like it despite the bright sun. On an operational note on the RhB, when 2 trains have to cross in a station that has no passenger tunnel. Does one train have to come to a complete halt before the other train is able to come into the station and stop? Passengers have to cross behind the train nearest the station exit unless it has moved away. I notice that Poschiavo has been remodelled in recent years so trains unload singerly then cross outside the station.
Really great quality work. Loved the Info provided - very clear. With the Start Signal, would I be correct that if it were RED the train would need to stop till it turned green? You mentioned a coming upgrade to the very old signaling system - will still make use of the red and green lights, yes? Are you using a GoPro Camera? What model. Personally, I loved the light - many cameras could not have shot what you did because of it. I will look for more of your work. Thanks.
Hello Paul, Thanks for your feedback. Yes, trackside signal's will still be in use with the new system (ZSI127). I use a GoPro camera at the moment (HERO7)
Hello. The yeollow square means: change from the overhead cable of the station to the overhead cable of the tracksection. Shortly after the sign you will see two cable above for some meters.
the whole line was built between 1912 and 1914, including the bridges and tunnels. hard to imagine today. this line was originally not part of the ratien railway, the original company Chur-Arosa-Bahn merged with the ratien railway during the 2nd world war.
tuxli86 thank you very much for the information. I’ve watched a lot of "in the cad" rides and amazed at how the builders managed to cut tunnels in granite with such precision, the equipment used today makes it a lot easier but boy, they certainly knew hard work... Thanks again...

Excellent ride through steep climbs and twisting track into the sun - beautiful scenery!
Fantastic Cab ride. If you want to reduce the glare from the sun, I suggest that you clean the windscreen on the inside and outside.
Love that waterfall at 15 minutes in just before tunnel! Like to see a drone fly over it and follow it down!
Excellent, dont be overly concerned with the bright sun. Probably one of the better videos of this line I have watched. Thank you.
Oslo's T-Bane takes passengers from the centre past Holmenkollen ski jump up to Frognerseteren, and in winter it's full of skiers. City to mountains, on a regular suburban train. It's a beautiful ride, too, like this one :)

17:16 Oof, that’s why I am here! 😆👍 this line is the one that made me fall in love with the RhB! Great stuff man!
Very enjoyable! Could you record this exact journey in winter snow? Better yet with snow falling?
A long time ago I made this journey to and from Arosa in late February/early March. Lots of snow! I would really like to see it again in winter. Meanwhile, I really enjoyed this and thank you for showing the whole thing without edits.
Very nice remember it from years ago

But I have only good things to say about my uk travel experiences with trains :).
@@Calandamountain you clearly have never travelled in the north of England!! The lack of any serious investment here is appauling.
Chur , beautiful town !! And a great trip .
Great video; I agree with the comments about the low-key commentary (no rap music etc.)
My ONLY disappointment was that at the 0m55s mark we didn't go around the roundabout (grin!)
Chris
Amazing carbide video thank you very much!!!! I hope Bernina line now......!
Beautiful ! Worth re-doing as I found it too bright.
Another excellent and informative production
que bellos paisajes gracias por subir el video
SUN PLEASE.....!!, I'm trying to enjoy the view here.....
Anyway, It's a great video. 👍👍👍
It must be very tall mountains getting the sun that low;-)

magnifique voyage dans le calme et dans ces paysages sublimes !!!!!!!
In the 40 years I have been visiting Chur, I have never seen it so quiet. Covid-19 is having a huge effect on our lives.
Wonderful cab ride was the Allegra hauling EW1 passenger coaches at all?
Great video, and the extra information in the video is really well done and appreciated! The "special type of point" as you are passing the old depot is called a Spring Switch or Spring Points in English.
Thanks ☺️👍🏻
Stunning journey but what a shame about the direct sunlight which meant you missed so much of the beautiful scenery. Hope the same journey can be done again without the sun !
Encore une excellente vidéo pour une très belle ligne
Fantastic thank you!
Very nice my dear.
Again a very nice video. Although a bit bright :-)
maravilloso viaje ,muy bueno gracias ,desde Argentina un abrazo

Je vs remercie bcp et vivement.
I wonder where the men lived that built this road. Not a lot of level space for a railroad camp.

32:24 what does the square yellow signal mean on the catenary post on the left? Is that an indication for an electric supply station change? 🤔
Hello. The yeollow square means: change from the overhead cable of the station to the overhead cable of the tracksection. Shortly after the sign you will see two cable above for some meters.
Calandamountain Aha! Interesting! Always wondered about that one...
The is so beautiful 😍 my fever please vacation 🌲🌲🍀🍀🍃🌱☘️🌿🌹🤗❤️🎈🎈🎈
Did you have any passengers?
yes, but not many... :/
Are most of these tunnels built between 1910-1940 (except for modernisations)??
the whole line was built between 1912 and 1914, including the bridges and tunnels. hard to imagine today. this line was originally not part of the ratien railway, the original company Chur-Arosa-Bahn merged with the ratien railway during the 2nd world war.
tuxli86 thank you very much for the information. I’ve watched a lot of "in the cad" rides and amazed at how the builders managed to cut tunnels in granite with such precision, the equipment used today makes it a lot easier but boy, they certainly knew hard work...
Thanks again...
19:00 What was that for a phone call? Was that the control center of the line?
Hello. The driver of the oncoming train called me to warn about a rock that was very close to the track.
@@Calandamountain Ah, Thanks! And I heared it was a Samsung phone.
@@swissbrony23ch72 Correct ;)
🥰
Da ist ja ein Video in der Werbung! Dislike!
Danke für den Input. Ich werde versuchen dies anzupassen.
Spring loaded points, with each of the train wheels moving them sideways.
Had to stop watching due to sun washing the video out.
