Thamks Tim, the Map is a great help and the footage amazing .I read about these lines in the 1940/50s and never forgot its "Unusual" name 😊😊, and now we can all see it . Top Quality Tim
As a child I remember being given a ladybird book of trains in which there was a photograph featuring a Swiss cog rail locomotive climbing the Brienz Rothorn railway, everything about the photograph enthralled me, the little engine was climbing at an impossible angle, the track was on a very narrow ledge and the scenery was simply stunning. At that young age the chances of ever visiting Switzerland seemed about as likely as my chances of walking on the moon. I still haven’t walked on the moon, but I have been lucky enough to ride many of the Swiss mountain railways and every one of them proved to be as enthralling as that childhood photo. I'm pleased you found the map useful and I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.
Firstly, another Merci Vielmal to the staff of the Rigibahn for allowing Tim to mount his camera at the front of the train. Secondly, thank you Tim for another spectacular video.
I was up there during Christmas a few years ago and there was quite a bit of snow. People were tobogganing, hiking and just enjoying the view. I am from Canada and I have seen my share of snow but that visit was my first time in Switzerland . I fell in love with Switzerland right then and there and I knew that someday I would go back again and this past summer, I did just that. I spent 3 days in beautiful Lucerne ....Beautiful country ....
Hello Robert, I'd love to see the Rigi Railways in winter, it must be awesome, although have visited Whistler and Jasper in January, that was a wonderful experience, are Canadian kids able to ski before they can even walk? Switzerland is an easy country to fall in love with, I'm glad you enjoyed your recent trip to Lucerne.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Hallo, frohes Neues Jahr. Ich flog in die Schweiz als der Euro rauskam. Zur DM- Zeit unmöglich. Was ist denn mit dem vorderen Zug 23:06 los, sind die Abfahrt-Abstände so kurz oder sitzt du in einer Lok ohne Waggons?
@@christianehagen9557 Hallo, vielen Dank für die Neujahrsgrüße und ich hoffe, das neue Jahr ist ein gutes für Sie.

Bonjour, merci pour les voeux du Nouvel An et je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo. J'ai déjà réservé des voyages ferroviaires intéressants pour 2023 en commençant par la vapeur à voie étroite allemande plus tard ce mois-ci. Bonne année. Tim.
Hello, it's nice to hear from Kyoto, UA-cam allows us to travel 'virtually' with ease, something that just wasn't possible when I was young. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Another great video from the Rigi cog railway, and another engineering gem - 11:36 a cog switch of a similar type to the previous video, but this time with an adjustable crossing frog and only the bottom part bends. One interesting thing after another. Totally amazing!
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, the switches have caused a number of people to question how they work, I'm grateful to this guy for his video showing them in action, because it would be really hard to explain in words - ua-cam.com/video/7fkx-SHnM50/v-deo.html
@@Timsvideochannel1 Yes, I know that, but this switch is little bit complex, bending only lower part, and in crossing frog middle V part moved on side where is switch setted. Like in high speed switches on standart track.
Hi Roger, it's hard to think of a nicer way to spend a day, especially as you also sailed there from Lucerne on one of the magnificent paddle steamers.
Hello my friend, long time since I seen a video from you. Ty for sharing with us. I needed something to pass the time this did it for me. Hope all is well with you and yours. Be safe out there in your travels and thanks for this great video. I will share it with my train group I am sure they will love it too. God bless safe travels ahead.
Hello. It's nice to hear from you. This was taken on my first overseas trip in 3 years due to Covid, I had a great time filming quite a number of railways and I’ll be posting more videos over the coming months. Catching Covid seems to be an unavoidable risk when stepping outside of my home these days, I caught Covid towards the end of this trip, although I didn't feel ill until I'd returned home. I tested positive the day after I got home, it took a couple of weeks to get over it, I'm well again now and looking forward to my next trip in October. Take care and stay safe. Tim.

Thank you for this video. Very nice and interesting cab ride with splendid landscapes in a very beautiful day. At the start beautiful view overlooking a lake. The two lake seen are Zugersee and Lauerzsee, this almost on arrival.
Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed the video, I looked on Google Earth to find the names of the Lakes, but I wasn't sure enough to include the lake names in the video. I beleive the lake in front of the train at 00:42 in Lake Luzern and the Lake visable above the train at 00:27 is Zugersee, Lake Lauerzersee can be seen at 35:57. I could be wrong.
View is very very beautifull of the journey. Thankyou sir for this good surprise. 💚 I like for visiting to there. I Like this beautifull railway.. I am from India.. I really impressed by your this video 💚😍

Hi Tim! Today it goes down on the left side, really beautiful 👍. Did you know that the two Rigi Railways were fierce competitors for many decades? But at some point they realized that it works better together. My wooden bench will also be finished today. Get a photo. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, thank you again for your help with this video. Whilst I was editing it I logged onto a number of web-sites that gave a brief history of the Rigi Mountain railways, the most interesting fact being that the line out of Vitznau was Europe’s first mountain cog railway. The world’s first cog railway was not a mountain railway, it was the Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, I believe the world’s first mountain cog railway was the Mount Washington Cog Railway in the USA. Whilst there was competition on Mount Rigi in the early days, it wasn't long before the railways, aerial cable cars and ski lifts realized the potential of working together, today they are all marketed as "Rigi". One non-standard railway did close and its route is now a spectacular footpath in summer and a ski run in winter. Your bench looked real quality, I'm sure it will look great in your garden, an ideal place to chill out and enjoy a beer. Cheers 🍺. Tim.
European mountains are among the best in the World. This fascinating video captures their very essence and beauty, and allows us to experience the adventure when we will never be able to physically see it in person. Tim's leading comments are thorough and informative and add to the historical significance of the railways. While watching I was wondering why 2 trains were so close to each other traveling the same direction on the same route.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Your question as to why 2 trains are travelling close together on the same route is one I have asked myself, as it is a common practice on Swiss mountain railways. I typed into Google - why do Swiss mountain railways often run two trains close together instead of running them as one longer train? I didn't find the answer I was looking for, although it is worth noting that many Swiss mountain railways are starting to introduce new conventional multiple unit trains, it is also happening on this railway. The new trains have advantages and disadvantages, from an operating point of view longer trains require less staff than two shorter trains, from the passengers point of view it is becoming more difficult to enjoy the same view as the driver. I will make a guess that modern technology and higher passenger numbers have made multiple unit running on mountain railways a practical proposition, whereas one hundred or more years ago when many of these railways were built the technology and passenger numbers made shorter or single unit trains the choice of the day. My conclusion may well be wrong, if someone knows the answer, please share it with us.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride; I'm not a Swiss local, although I wish I could spend more time there. I imagine it's a whole different world in winter, if I get the opportunity I'd love to film it in the ski season.
I am a local, I live 5 min of walking away from the station arth-goldau and I like it more in the winter.. It is so beautiful to see the trees covered in snow, to see how the snow sparkles in the sunlight and the skiing and sledding is a very, very recommended thing up there! Greeting from switzerland
Absolutely beautiful video, but why no comments? This is not a common train and a lot of people most likely have seen this for the first time, therefore some comments would be appreciated!
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the views. I add captions to the videos, such as the station names and I also give links in the video description for those wanting to know more about the railway. I don't add a commentary because it is not popular (most of my viewers don't speak English as their first language) and I'd also have to do more research which I simply don't have time to do, this is just a hobby, I would like to spend more time researching, shooting and editing videos, sadly it doesn't put food on the table, I rely on my day job for that.
To think. We owe the beautiful Alpine scenery to something called Plate Tectonics. The collision of the Africa and European plates creating the mountains.
Hi "Yes" it is a haystack, the hay will be used to feed cattle in the winter. I searched the internet to try and find out a little more, there are plenty of photos of Swiss haystacks, but not a lot of information, please click on this link - www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1NDCM_enGB719GB719&sxsrf=ALiCzsYekIWRGLUi4GUCN386tfovG65XkA:1660650964095&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=swiss+mountain+hay+stack&fir=mC37e4okd6Kf0M%252CM9cIILaVWrDW0M%252C_%253BNMA-Jx0InWuLhM%252CRsaxU46gI79biM%252C_%253BZ1BG-u5dgMROMM%252CsXuqPTAHt9KdkM%252C_%253Bf8Xpl889vRHlfM%252Cx2iLQdL2llYJiM%252C_%253B1OIPWVnjeUb6HM%252CFEOF_XNmyPcrLM%252C_%253BABl667_jfVm5SM%252CNjR2w4CGOIX59M%252C_%253BY8g5I1MrSFxAnM%252Cx2iLQdL2llYJiM%252C_%253Bc1yYc_xbbYl7_M%252CRsaxU46gI79biM%252C_%253BnyiT-8-Vhs9EiM%252C7vketi5B1NsL1M%252C_%253BEUYnhq6N1ghPRM%252CTrH0wSju3RxOgM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kTFQLmjUUpasKUmRazIMQNUdHewHg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwib9732psv5AhVNasAKHT6pBCIQ7Al6BAgCEFE&biw=1920&bih=937&dpr=1
That Christmas holiday does look tempting, but I'd never get my wife to go with me, she loves the sun and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without her. I think Rigi will look awesome, covered in snow with people enjoying winter sports. My trip to Poland next month has been postponed and my next RTC trip is to Germany in January 2023, I bet that'll be cold. I looked at some of your videos, that coffee pot locomotive reminded of the one we should have had for our trip on the Rigi railway. When you get back from your Christmas trip, please post a video showing the snow covered mountains, I promise to be jealous.
Not even a lonely dog crossing the Railway line ?how this is possible? No passengers are available in the stations. Good video. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 GREETINGS FROM BANGALORE KARNATAKA INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️
Hi, the stations were quiet because we were an unscheduled special train, so there were not many people waiting for service trains, as for the dogs, I didn't see many and those I did see were little dogs on leads, not much bigger than a cat. Wishing you all the best in Bangalore from my home country, England.
The middle rail is a cog rail (Rack rail) that locates with a cog on the train. The train is fitted with several different failsafe mechanisms to stop the train in the event of an emergency.

Hi, Switzerland is a magical place, railways to the top of many of the mountain peaks, the sound of cow bells in the background and glorious scenery. I look forward to sharing more views of this wonderful country over the coming months.
Hi Robert, I love the Swiss lakes and mountains, there is a cog railway to the top of many peaks and a genuine paddle steamer on most of the lakes, everywhere is easy to reach by train. Today was another very hot and dry day here on England's South Coast; it's getting on for two months since we had rain apart from one thunder storm over three weeks ago. I keep jumping into a good size paddling pool to cool down and I've just returned from an hour and half walking in the surf on my local beach. Cheers. Tim. 🙂🍺.

@@Timsvideochannel1 J'ai pris mon pied comme l'on dit en France!! Il n'y a qu'en Suisse que l'on voit çà!! Fabuleux!!
Dommage que ce train n'aille pas un peu plus vite mais bon!! C'est pas plus mal!!
@@Timsvideochannel1 Incroyable cette descente qui n'en finit plus!!
@@jmquintaux92 C’est une expérience inédite de pouvoir franchir la frontière entre deux pays.
Hello Tim, a very enjoyable video, thank you. I am not sure if you are a Swiss local but a repeat journey in the winter would be spectacular.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride; I'm not a Swiss local, although I wish I could spend more time there. I imagine it's a whole different world in winter, if I get the opportunity I'd love to film it in the ski season.
I am a local, I live 5 min of walking away from the station arth-goldau and I like it more in the winter..
It is so beautiful to see the trees covered in snow, to see how the snow sparkles in the sunlight and the skiing and sledding is a very, very recommended thing up there!
Greeting from switzerland
@@EaNasir973 Wow, what an awesome place to live, I'd love to see it in winter. Best wishes from England.
Absolutely beautiful video, but why no comments? This is not a common train and a lot of people most likely have seen this for the first time, therefore some comments would be appreciated!
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the views. I add captions to the videos, such as the station names and I also give links in the video description for those wanting to know more about the railway. I don't add a commentary because it is not popular (most of my viewers don't speak English as their first language) and I'd also have to do more research which I simply don't have time to do, this is just a hobby, I would like to spend more time researching, shooting and editing videos, sadly it doesn't put food on the table, I rely on my day job for that.
Lindo maravilhoso🌿🇧🇷
Obrigado, fico feliz que tenha gostado.
Onde fica esse local. Muito lindo
Olá este vídeo foi feito perto de Luzern, Suíça.
Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas la montée. Peut être à suivre bientôt????? Merci.
Pas de montée cette fois, peut-être lors de ma prochaine visite en Suisse.
SÓ EM VÊ JÁ É UMA VIAGEM
To think. We owe the beautiful Alpine scenery to something called Plate Tectonics. The collision of the Africa and European plates creating the mountains.
You are correct, but I checked it out anyway - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alps The Alps are a beautiful mountain range, I also love the flora and fauna.

I am assuming the lineside feature at 25:38 is a haystack, but why is there a pole down the middle? Anyone?
Hi "Yes" it is a haystack, the hay will be used to feed cattle in the winter. I searched the internet to try and find out a little more, there are plenty of photos of Swiss haystacks, but not a lot of information, please click on this link - www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1NDCM_enGB719GB719&sxsrf=ALiCzsYekIWRGLUi4GUCN386tfovG65XkA:1660650964095&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=swiss+mountain+hay+stack&fir=mC37e4okd6Kf0M%252CM9cIILaVWrDW0M%252C_%253BNMA-Jx0InWuLhM%252CRsaxU46gI79biM%252C_%253BZ1BG-u5dgMROMM%252CsXuqPTAHt9KdkM%252C_%253Bf8Xpl889vRHlfM%252Cx2iLQdL2llYJiM%252C_%253B1OIPWVnjeUb6HM%252CFEOF_XNmyPcrLM%252C_%253BABl667_jfVm5SM%252CNjR2w4CGOIX59M%252C_%253BY8g5I1MrSFxAnM%252Cx2iLQdL2llYJiM%252C_%253Bc1yYc_xbbYl7_M%252CRsaxU46gI79biM%252C_%253BnyiT-8-Vhs9EiM%252C7vketi5B1NsL1M%252C_%253BEUYnhq6N1ghPRM%252CTrH0wSju3RxOgM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kTFQLmjUUpasKUmRazIMQNUdHewHg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwib9732psv5AhVNasAKHT6pBCIQ7Al6BAgCEFE&biw=1920&bih=937&dpr=1
Wishing I'd made the journey and not let the steam ban put me off. Booked with RTC at Christmas so hopefully get there with winter scenery
That Christmas holiday does look tempting, but I'd never get my wife to go with me, she loves the sun and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without her. I think Rigi will look awesome, covered in snow with people enjoying winter sports. My trip to Poland next month has been postponed and my next RTC trip is to Germany in January 2023, I bet that'll be cold. I looked at some of your videos, that coffee pot locomotive reminded of the one we should have had for our trip on the Rigi railway. When you get back from your Christmas trip, please post a video showing the snow covered mountains, I promise to be jealous.
Not even a lonely dog crossing the Railway line ?how this is possible? No passengers are available in the stations. Good video.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 GREETINGS FROM BANGALORE KARNATAKA INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤️
Hi, the stations were quiet because we were an unscheduled special train, so there were not many people waiting for service trains, as for the dogs, I didn't see many and those I did see were little dogs on leads, not much bigger than a cat. Wishing you all the best in Bangalore from my home country, England.
You forgot to tell us what country, what region. ♥
Hi, I've added "Switzerland" to the title.
@@Timsvideochannel1 thanks, you now have many subscribers from many countries :-)
@@mintaka57 I enjoy UA-cam 🙂.
In case your breaks fail how do you address that?
The middle rail is a cog rail (Rack rail) that locates with a cog on the train. The train is fitted with several different failsafe mechanisms to stop the train in the event of an emergency.
@@Timsvideochannel1 thank you for answering.
Where are the cows?
I didn't see any either, maybe they had all gone to be milked.
Живописный маршрут! 👍 В принципе, в Швейцарии все маршруты живописные! 😉
Здравствуйте, я рад, что вы наслаждались поездкой, Швейцария - прекрасная страна 🙂.

Hi, Switzerland is a magical place, railways to the top of many of the mountain peaks, the sound of cow bells in the background and glorious scenery. I look forward to sharing more views of this wonderful country over the coming months.
🙏🙏🙏
😊.
Hi tim, Would have to be one of the most scenic places in the world ,Are you still in a drought in uk cheers bob.👍🤠😁😇🍺
Hi Robert, I love the Swiss lakes and mountains, there is a cog railway to the top of many peaks and a genuine paddle steamer on most of the lakes, everywhere is easy to reach by train. Today was another very hot and dry day here on England's South Coast; it's getting on for two months since we had rain apart from one thunder storm over three weeks ago. I keep jumping into a good size paddling pool to cool down and I've just returned from an hour and half walking in the surf on my local beach. Cheers. Tim. 🙂🍺.
Another double jabbed adventure
I hope you enjoyed the ride. I'm triple jabbed, but that didn't stop me from catching the virus.
Very slow speed! Which country?
Hi, this railway is located in Switzerland.
💓👍🙏

а у них там есть кошки дома?

Hello from Great Britain.
@@Timsvideochannel1 🤣
Zelo lepa pokrajina - in vreme.
Vesel sem, da ste uživali v videu 😊.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Ooo, to pa je velik luksuz zame, da mi nekdo odgovori v slovenščini. Hvala lepa.
Sem na novo upokojen in komaj čakam, da dobim upokojensko izkaznico, kajti potem bom imel vlak v Sloveniji zastonj, kar bom obilno izkoristil. Lepe pozdrave vsem iz Slovenije
@@janezblond5335 Brezplačna železniška karta za Slovenijo je čudovit način za ogled vaše prelepe države. Upam, da imaš dolgo in srečno upokojitev 😊.
obrigado pela carona.
Fico feliz que tenha gostado.
