Train Cab Ride Luino - Bellinzona

Journey from Luino (Italy) to Bellinzona San Paolo on a cloudy day. You can hear the locomotive struggling a bit during accelerations and dynamic braking due to the poor adhesion, nothing that couldn't be handled luckily as this isn't an excessively demanding line.
A relatively uneventful run is depicted here, save for the few temporary (/on paper at least/) speed restrictions and a train meet in Pino - Tronzano, after which we cross the border from Italy and get into Switzerland. The line is subject to swiss regulations in its entirety, although on the italian side is operated by the italian infrastructure manager RFI.
Don't forget to turn on captions if you want to see station names and some other bits of info!

Thank you for lighting the tunnel. Lovely ride

Thank you for the lovely video. My aunt had a flat in the small village above the lake, Agra, and I often train spotted the cargo trains at Luino station. However it was usually quiet during daytime whereas there was more transport activity during the later hours. I parked in the car park to the left of the first level crossing getting out of Luino. Great memories. Thanks again.

Guten Abend, ich habe noch nicht verstanden, warum angesichts des europäischen Systems namens ETCS Level 2 die Zwergsignale geschlossen bleiben und die entsprechenden Lichter blau werden. In Italien werden sie auch in Anwesenheit des ETCS Level 2-Systems eröffnet (zum Beispiel zwischen Desio und Bivio Rosales).

An excellent cab-ride video on a fascinating route. It's no fault of anyone but a pity it wasn't a sunny day as this is one of the most beautiful parts of Europe when the sun shines.
I look forward to many more videos from you.

Buonasera, non ho ancora capito per quale motivo in presenza del sistema europeo denominato ETCS Livello 2 i segnali nani rimangono chiusi e le relative luci hanno assunto il colore blu. In Italia vengono aperti anche in presenza del sistema ETCS Livello 2 (ad esempio fra fra Desio ed il Bivio Rosales

Spettacolare anche con il brutto tempo!

[@leonardoeusebio5231]

Video notevole ma sarebbe stato bello vedere completamente l'incrocio...

[@TuukkaVarjoranta]

Really interesting cab ride! :-)
Do you know why this line is equipped with the Swiss signalling system inside Italy?
Best regards, Tuukka

[@Mr_casaralta]

Only for convention

[@danamack7405]

Could you kindly tell me what sort of locomotive or multiple unit this video was shot from ? Beautiful !

[@velarod3961]

The loco in this video is a Siemens Vectron :)

[@luigibrunomanzini253]

Beautiful video. Interesting the fluid transfer of supply between 3000 VDC Italian and 15,000 VAC 16.6 Hz Swiss and the perfect continuity of signaling between ERTM and SCMT level2 !

[@marcodamasio]

The transfer from 3 kV DC to 15 kV AC happens in Luino station, therefore it is not shown in this video

[@autrichecapture181]

Super Bahnstrecke

[@briancooper562]

Has the statues of the line increased as a bye-pass route due to the complexities of Lugano area and the timetabling of higher speed trains and freight? I ask because of the extension of the double track at the crossing point mid route.

[@mirko8951]

Al confine c'è stato il cambio pantografo?

[@Mr_casaralta]

No, tutto avviene a Luino

[@maurogianoncelli9227]

sarebbe anche più opportuno se le didascalie fossero anche in lingua italiana , visto il transito nel Cantone Ticino. Grazie!

[@Mr_casaralta]

Ma probabilmente lui stesso è Ticinese. Lo fa per attirare gente interessata dall’estero
