In February 2002, REOS visited Andermatt in the midst of winter. As the sun sets the snow starts to fall. The wind picks up and adds to the atmosphere of the scene. Despite the severe winter conditions, the railway staff of the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn ensure the trains run to time. In the early morning we encounter the snowplough in Willer ,the "new" area of Andermatt on the hills of the Oberalp Pass. In Andermatt we film on the platform and at the bottom of the Oberalp Pass where trains enter the rack and pinion section. Durring the winter season there is only one Glacier-Express in each direction a day; at 13.30hrs,the trains meet in Andermatt. The dining car is shunted from the Zermatt train to the train bound for St. Moritz. At Nätchen station we filmed in a "small" blizzard . Descending down towards Andermatt the weather improves while we make recordings of Andermatt from the Oberalp Pass.

I was impressed with the precious video footage 19 years ago.
And I felt the value of this video from the information I learned on WIKIPEDIA.
"In January 2003, the year after this video shoot, the BVZ Zermatt-Bahn and the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FO) were integrated. It became the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB)."
I watched this video in Japan about 3:00 pm on Sunday, March 21, 2021 [JST].
Thank you!
Best regards, Remco REOS
Lovely footage, Andermatt has changed quite a bit in the last 19 years. Lots more apartment buildings and some new ski lifts too.
What a memory provoking adventure! Reminiscing about winters spent in my birth country Austria, taking trains to various locations. Love winter, love trains . . . and loved watching this, so magnificently filmed, video! Subdued, quiet 'action' throughout the entire 75minutes. I feel enriched! Thank you much, from Canada :o)
Very nicely filmed, giving a clear impression of the varied and quite complex operations on the former FO.
The last five minutes with the shots of the trains in the dark with the lights of the passenger cabins shining brightly were just stunning. Loved the slow pan over the valley below as the last train disappeared. Well done.
Thank you for your comment. There is more FO to come. I also have filmed the line to Disentis in winter wen it was still FO.Best regards, Remco - REOS
This video has to be one of, if not the best rail related video on YT. Both the filming and the editing are superb.
Have subscribed and this video has gone straight to the top of my favourite list.
Hello Fred,Thank you for you're comment. I agree :-)Remco - REOS
Beautiful shots !
I love winter . I am from india
Schöne Winterlanschaften 👍👍
It's like a toy village and train set around the Christmas tree. I keep getting surprised when someone walks by!.
mas
Thank you!

Thank you for the video! Now this is a proper beautiful winter.
It looks like there's a lot of activity for such a relatively remote place as Andermatt; Swiss railway network is simply the best. How long did it take you to film all the scenes? I'm assuming it was all filmed in one day.
Hello Juan, Thank you for your comment. Think it took 2 (long) day's in total.Best regards, Remco - REOS
Are all the locomotives rack (zahnrad) equipped or only some?
All FO, and BVZ, now MGB have rack's. But also ALL wagons on one axxle.
Best regards, Remco
What happend at 26:16?
Wow, never noticed that myself. Looks like one of the brake shoes stuck, and had to be released by giving it a good poke!
