★ 🇨🇭Bellinzona - Göschenen - Wassen Gotthard cab ride [08.2019]

This time we have a look at one of Switzerland's most famous railways, the Gotthard pass, starting from the south in Bellinzona and ending in Wassen, about 10 minutes short of Erstfeld. It's amazing to see this feat of Swiss engineering, constructed between 1872 & 1882, winding through mountains, spiral tunnels and the central 15km Gotthard railway tunnel.
With gradients of up to 2.8%, it was a challenge getting heavier trains over the pass, especially in poor weather conditions. Switzerland repeatedly broke records in constructing powerful locomotives to do the job, both for the Gotthard and Lötschberg passes.
Since the base tunnel opened in 2017, most traffic has been redirected, eliminating the need for bank locomotives and making single locomotive intermodal trains possible (via Luino).
In the future, the trip will be re-recorded and made available through to Erstfeld.

Danke für dieses wunderschöne Video! Landschaft und Bildqualität fantastisch!

[@polysmart]

I marvel at the precision of the surveyors and engineers to create those corkscrew tunnels with such precision in the 19th century., amazing.

[@lorirocks777]

Me too

[@dereuregioman]

Was für eine Landschaft? So wunderschön. Auch von den Gebäuden. Wahnsinnig. Ein Traum die Schweiz!!! Danke für dieses Erlebnis was ich mit erleben durfte!!!!

[@luschu5487]

This is the best travel video I have ever seen. The beauty of the scenery is breathtaking. I watch this all winter long to cure winter blues and it does lift my spirits.

[@PU2TRG]

I did this trip a lot back in the 80's as a passenger seing all this spectacular view by train's right side or left side, now you gave me the oportunity to see this on view as cab ride.What view! Thank you very much and do the same all back to Bellinzona.

[@KevinYu0504]

I really enjoy your video , so beautiful scenery ,
and the most important thing is that every bridge, every tunnel, and station has a detailed name and length.
Thank you for your hard working , bring such high quality videos for us . :)

[@m.9243]

Absolutely fantastic trip!
The scenery is breathtaking at times and I made a point of following the route on Google maps on another window.
So, in every little town the train stopped I paused it while the train was in the station and I took a virtual Google street exploration, a bit like being there!
It's great because it opens up for me new destinations in Europe on my next trip there, places that I never visited before.
Thank You so much for sharing your trips with the Y.T. crowd. Much appreciated.

[@CHE113A]

Great idea! I never thought of that..
I should try that myself : )
Thanks 👍

[@m.9243]

It's a virtual visit and, if the town looks interesting, why not stop there in real life and catch the next train further or even, spend the night there!
Google is a very useful tool! Happy travelling CHE (..when this Cov19 settles down..)

[@Territet]

A fantastic video in perfect weather conditions! Thank you for uploading it even if it is not as complete as you wanted. It is sheer delight to watch it. I understand Sudostbahn will operate the route starting next year, presumably focusing on tourist trade.

[@lorirocks777]

Thank you. Yes, I'm interested to see how that turns out.

[@julianbristow4793]

An excellent video, thank you! The old Gotthard Tunnel is truly impressive with all those colored lights inside of it. I felt like I was in the train taking part in the adventure. You don’t see tunnels like that anymore. Switzerland has some great tunnels👍🏻👍🏻🌼😃🌺

[@lorirocks777]

I like the old tunnels too. New ones are not as interesting with their smooth finish.

[@julianbristow4793]

lorirocks777 ....Exactly, like the new Gotthard Base Tunnel. The lights are mostly turned off during the 57 km journey. I hope they keep the old tunnels in service.🙂🌸👍🏻

[@cosmos7492]

[@lorirocks777]

[@HeartlandTuber]

Fantastic video. I have driven these this route both ways in Microsoft Train Simulator, and your video lets me see the actually scenery every step of the way. Plus, the entire nine minutes through the tunnel. Amazing feat of engineering over 130 years ago. Some of the most fascinating engineering solutions, the many spiral tunnels, on both sides of the Gotthard.

[@rwboa22]

Probably equalled to that of the Brooklyn Bridge, which opened only a year after the Gotthard Tunnel.

@@lorirocks777 One of the other train driver videographers on UA-cam (HinduCowGirl) said the other night on her chat stream that she switched lenses on her GoPro to film in 4K without the distortion. Not sure what equipment you have, but maybe that's an option? I've never used a GoPro; my camera is a decade-old Nikon DSLR that doesn't do video.

Absolutely wonderful cab ride. One of the best I've seen anywhere. Stunning scenery ! The Northern Italians and Swiss must be one of luckiest people in the world to live in such beautiful surroundings... And everything so *clean.* I know this from experience, having travelled the Bernese Oberland by train - all the way up to Kleiner Scheideg!
.
54:30 - Gotthard Tunnel - Train goes into 'high warp' - fantastic.
//
*The Gotthard Tunnel* is a 15.003-kilometre-long railway tunnel and forms the summit of the Gotthard Railway in Switzerland. It connects Göschenen with Airolo and was the first tunnel through the Saint-Gotthard Massif in order to bypass the St Gotthard Pass. It is built as one double-track, standard gauge tunnel. At it's highest point, the tunnel reaches -1,106 m (3,629 ft). Between1882 and 2000 the Gotthard Tunnel was the longest tunnel in the world.
//wiki refers.

[@wyqtor]

And now the Gotthard Base Tunnel is the longest :) (You can see its southern portal in this video, right after Biasca station).

[@luigidamore949]

NO, it wasn't the longest, the Simplon Tunnel (Galleria del Sempione) was much longer : 19.824 m .
