★ 4K 2x🎥 🇨🇭Brig - Kandersteg - Basel Cab ride during winter [02.2020]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- For the first time on UA-cam, experience the Lötschberg alpine pass in 4K, with many interesting facts about things you see along the way, including abandoned tunnels, junctions, former stations and more.
Station names are complete with their altitude and gradients are shown in the top right corner, to give you an idea of what the locomotives are dealing with.
Today we're travelling with 2 Siemens locomotives belonging to the Eurosprinter family, specifically ES 64 F4, equipped to operate in many countries under AC & DC supply power. Leading is a Swiss owned Re 474 and behind it, a leased MRCE Br 189. This is also the first video with a bank locomotive (which pushes from behind), which is required for trains over 1'400t at these gradients to avoid breaking the couplings. See if you can spot it in the rear view camera - although it will be tricky because it's quite a long train.
For those who aren't familiar with Swiss geography, the north is generally hilly with flat parts here and there, whereas the south lies in the middle of the alps, which span from Austria to the east right across to France in the southwest. The first alpine crossing was achieved through the Gotthardbahn in 1882, which runs from central Switzerland to the southern most tip in Ticino.
In 1906, the BLS (Bern - Lötschberg - Simplon) was founded, who pioneered the alpine crossing over the Lötschberg pass, where we will be travelling today. In 2007, a base tunnel was opened, avoiding the steep ramps of the mountain pass and cutting time off the overall journey, however only one third is double tracked, reducing its capacity.
This has led to most northbound freight trains taking the mountain route, while southbound trains tend to be routed through the tunnel, hence most cab ride videos on youtube showing the mountain route being northbound.
Unfortunately the sound was ruined by the air conditioner about halfway into the journey. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I love the rear view camera!
@@marianandnorbert Glad somebody does!
@@lorirocks777 Me too!
The rear view thing is cool. As a tunnel lover I love to see the entrances and exits of tunnels!!!
Me and my wife are looking at this jorney from our bikes bihind a computer... We say: What a different country from northern Sweden...... Tunnels and viaducts... what a fantastic work from all kind of workers. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful trip. Danke schön! Tack så mycket!
Thanks for your comment and for joining us. I'm a big fan of Sweden too =)
One of the finest videos I have ever watched. I have always wanted to become a locomotive pilot, but ended up in a different profession. I don't know how tough is to get a railway job in Switzerland but in India its like getting a Nobel prize. I don't know whether I will ever be able to make it to Switzerland or not but thanks to you I am living my dream of becoming a loco pilot. A ton of thanks to you for making my dream partially come true.
Thanks for your comment, interesting.
🥰 😍
Best wishes for you and your family 💖 what profession do you have, if I may ask so curious?
Greetings from Germany
😢😢😢😢😢
Doesn't matter how many times I've watched this journey on YT, it is still one of the most extraordinary climbs and engineering feats on any railway. That said, this is by far the best version of it. Thank you for a very informative and entertaining video!
Wow, that's a big compliment. Thank you!
My son was living at Kandersteg when you filmed this. We could not visit him due to Covid, so thank you very much for such a beautiful video of the area.
Doing army service there long time ago in artillery mountain fort, pretty depressive when weather is awful
Thank you for sharing with us these dream landscapes seen from your driver's cab. And above all thank you for allowing us to dream. It's a real moment of pleasure to follow you on your journeys
What a huge amount of work you have done labeling all those tunnels. Even short 50m tunnel is labeled.
Thank you. Best wishes.
From the old Kingdom of Aragon (Spain) Merry Christmas and good health for the year 2021. Thank you for taking these interesting routes, I really enjoy it.
Congratulations!

Lorirocks777 dear, greetings to you from Russia! I watch your videos with great pleasure as feature films on the big screen! Thanks to you, it's like I've been in your area. You live in a very beautiful country and give this beauty to the whole world! Thank you for your work!
Thank you for commenting in english, nice to have you with us :-)
Hi dear how are you doing today?
When I was a kid, we were shown photos of Switzerland. Tall snow-covered mountains. Big lakes surrounded by. You guessed it snow covered mountains. To get flat land you had to go to another country. I have learnt a lot in the last 60 years. Our tallest mountain is Mount Kosciuszko coming in at a terrifying height of 2,228 metres.
I've been on that mountain before :)
Put this at 8x speed and its just AMAZING!!!!
Every time, Thank you for upload the wonderful scenery.
The display of the explanation is also wonderful !
Hello, I am from Romania! Thank you!
165 years have passed since the inauguration of the oldest railway on the current territory of Romania, between Oraviţa and Baziaş line was originally built to transport coal from Anina, Bocşa, and Oraviţa to the Danube, in the Port of Baziaş (built in 1795 by the Austrians, the second most important after Constanţa), where it was to be loaded on ships, and from there, transported on the Danube to the Empire, hence the name Koklenbahn (coal line).
GREETING FROM MACEDONIA.
Beautiful video with so many recognizable places for me where I used to go on holiday as a child
War eine schöne Fahrt. Nur schade, daß der Ton wegen der Klimaanlage so gestört war.
15:15 I searched for the location of "Unterbäch" in the video "★ 4K 🇨🇭 Unterbäch --Raron cable car ride [04.2021] Wallis, Switzerland" released on June 12, 2021. Google Earth has revealed the location of the mountain area opposite the power transmission relay tower on the left side of the railway track.
The mountain opposite the line of sight beyond the transmission tower in front of this Ausserberg station.
I really like to look at this kind of videos when I'm High
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen und eine tolle Strecke inmitten durch die Schweiz nahezu.
Die Bildqualität in UHD ist sehr toll in 60Bilder/Sekunde.
Grüße aus Deutschland, Bremen.
Weiter so!
Schöne Festtage noch soweit und beste Gesundheit sowie Erfolg im Jahr 2021.
The explanations on the screen are great, also the 4k quality makes it feel so real.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and No Covid. Greetings from MoraviaSilesia region in the Czech republic
As a scout, it's nice to see the campsite at Kandersteg from the train. A new perspective on a familiar place.
enjoyed riding on the high speed lines and seeing the flatter terrain cantons .

Thank you... love your content. My favorite quiet time.
Many of my ancestors came from Switzerland, I would love to visit one day
La Suisse est le pays du chemin de fer superbe vidéo. Bonne année 2021 sans Covid.
Merci Beaucoup, bonne année 2021!
Meu País governo atrazado,,, Que Maravilha uma estrutura de dar inveja PARABÉNS 👏👏👏👏👏 👍
What IS it about these train videos! I love them. I always wanted to ride up front with the train driver, even on my daily suburban commutes to work and back on the Lilydale line in Victoria, Australia. Of course our suburban routes don’t hold a candle to the amazing railway systems of Europe, with their scenery etc. Thank you so much to all of you folks like Lorirocks and “railcowgirl” … and all the rest of you enthusiasts who bring your art and adventure to UA-cam.
Thanks for your comment =)
"All those others lied!" All the TV train shows show Switzerland as nothing but mountain sides with valleys just wide enough for perhaps 1 or 2 cows. But, here I am at "
Thanks for your comment. Glad youcan join us on our trips :)
Thanks! Vielen Dank für die Aufnahme und Eure Arbeit. Ich bin inzwischen ein riesen Fan geworden. Die Strecke habe ich mit Euch bereits umgekehrt von nord nach süd gesehen. Immer wieder interessante Einblender mit Informationen zur Strecke. Ihr macht echt gute Unterhaltung und es ist cool dass ich so doch noch irgendwie unterwegs sein kann. Danke dafür. Gruss aus Brugg.💚
Herzlichen Dank! Für mich ist es auch eine freude, die Strecken die ich teilweise selber Fahre, zu teilen samt alle interessante Fakten die ich entdecke.
Von der Strecke kommt irgendwann nochmal ein 4K Video von Basel nach Brig via Kandersteg mit 2 Re 6/6 gespannt vor einem Autozug.
Viel vergnügen beim zuschauen!
Wonderful Footage 👍
Very nice video.
From Avaré,São Paulo. Brasil
Danke für die großartige Einstimmung auf Weihnachten. Frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein gesundes neues Jahr 😊
Vielen Dank, ebenso!
I really liked the video, I am interested in how houses in villages and towns in the middle of the mountains will be heated.
Either oil, wood, gas, heat pumps or village central heating.
@@lorirocks777 Thanks for the answer. Very good travels to Switzerland
Woohoo 🍾🍾🍾
Thats what I call the perfect Christmas gift 😊
Thank you so much & all the best to you!
Jochen
Aww thanks =) Happy holidays.
Üdvözöllek! Nagyon szuper felvétel!
Gyönyörű a táj is!
Köszönöm hogy láthattam!
1:06:31 ich liebe solche Ortschaften wie hier links wieder zu sehen 😻 die meisten Städte hier in Deutschland sind damit verglichen nur graue Betonwüsten 😢
Magnifique vidéo et ligne mythique! Étant enfant, j'ai passé de nombreuses vacances à Kandersteg, dont j'ai un souvenir inoubliable, tant par les randonnées que par le trafic sur la ligne (alors à voie unique). J'admirais en particulier les anciennes mais puissantes Ae 6/8 (la 205 est conservée), les modernes Ae 8/8 et ces automotrices bleues aux formes originales. Un sacré souvenir!
Eine sehr schöne Fahrt, danke für das Video
Excelente para esta época de pandemia!!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Excellent,one of the best Swiss railway videos I have ever seen. Danke.
Many thanks!
Nice ride. Looks more like early spring, no snow. Looking forward to seeing this high speed line link.
Desde el antiguo Reino de Aragón (España) Feliz Navidad y mucha salud para el año 2021. Gracias por pomer estas interesantes rutas, disfruto mucho con ello.
Amazing video - thank you for your efforts putting these together for us!
My pleasure!
I really like the new camera view
Fantastic ride across the country with great weather, thank you for sharing....Happy Holidays 🎉🥳 for you and your family...
I took the lower route from Milan to Olten. I was wondering if trains still used this route as I was looking above from my seat. It looked real cool seeing all the viaducts and bridges and tunnels. Great video, thanks
Vidéo d’exception ! pour un chemin de fer d’exception !
Extraordinaire voyage à travers la Suisse.
Merci!
Hallo lorrocks 777! Das war die aller schönste Mitfahrt, die ich je mit Ihnen gemacht habe :-))) Super
Video und bestens beschrieben! Herzliche Grüße aus Bad Vöslau, Niederösterreich!
Das ist sehr nett, vielen Dank. Hat Ihnen die zweite Perspektive auch gefallen?
Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz
wonderful😃👍👍👍
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from Italy. Good luck !
Aqui do Brasil, viajo com vocês. Obrigada pelas imagens.
Hi dear how are you doing today?
@@richardbittencourt8515 Anca io sói Brazile le piedo que qua qua qua qua qua qua qua qua 🇧🇷
Genial, immer wenn ich Zeit haben schaue ich die BLS Cabride Videos. Danke fürs virtuelle Mitnehmen
Freut mich =)
Like! 👍 ☺ 💙 💛 💚 ❤
Excellent video Sir!
You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!
" All aboard"!
The night train is the only means of travel in and out of the twilight zone. It is not so much a place as it is a time. For every passenger the experience is different. Tonight many will feel the need to sleep but before they do....the Night Train may have something special instore for it's passengers!
"Excuse me....Mr. Conductor"? "What stop is up next"?
" The town is called 'Anywheresville' mam".
"What kind of name is that for a town..... I've never heard of it"!
"It's everything and anything for everyone mam".
" What do you mean by that"?!
....." Mam....if you get off at Anywheresville you can just make a wish upon stepping off the Night Train and it will be so".
In this episode everyone on this train wants to just 😴
But imagine if you will, a place where you can grow up again. A place where you can change your life as you know it. Anything is now possible if you step off! But be warned..... there's no coming back. So if sleep is all you need then I suggest you close your eyes and by pass the next stop. This stop is a place that also exists in your dreams....or a Night Train going anywhere....in the twilight zone.
Vielen Danke.
👏👏🇨🇭🇨🇭
Looks like a great trip that only has to be taken once, it is now on the list 😃
Fantastic ride through the beautiful swiss landscape 😀👍 Thank you for sharing!
Always excellent videos of Switzerland’s amazing scenery! ...I loved trains ever since I was a child with my first HO scale model and then walking down the tracks and some tunnels. ❤️😊
Wow! This is the best ride for me! All the sceneries along the way satisfy my eyes, I am so happy to see how beautiful nature is. The excitement overflows especially while in the tunnel. Such a long tunnel ride :) Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience :)
Greetings for the UK - Wonderful trip if a little scary on the high-embankment for the first hour, but appear to have lost the sound at the end?
Very good video, it's a pity that it's spoiled by the air conditioner noise...
To think, this magnificent mountain scenery was made possible by plate tectonics and the slow motion collision of the African and European plates millions of years ago.
Очень красивые места. Спасибо за видео!
magnifiques vidéo et paysages j'adore merci pour ce beau voyage
Danke für das Video. Wünsche dir noch frohe Weihnachten. LG aus Kärnten
Thanks for the awesome views!
By the way, you forgot to put the video link at 1:24:40 in the description.
Thanks, will do that
The Swiss are blessed with the most beautiful country and developed one of the best nations to maintain and preserve the beauty. Please stay the same and dont turn your country into a useless dump like most other nations did.
Amazing cabview!! Thanks for sharing!!
Der Kanderstegtunnel errinnert mich irgendwie an den Gotthardtunnel. Beide Tunnel sind auch irgendwie gleich. Ich bin aber eher Gotthardtunnel Fan
Thank you for sharing another magnificent vídeo! Greetings from Portugal!
Why are there so many former stations along the line?
Awesome video btw.
They didn't have enough passengers to merit a stop and are now served by buses. Less stops also increases the capacity of a line.
Oh, wie wollte ich wieder in den Kaukasus!
As always, an excellent video, one of the best yet. Many thanks.
Thank you!
La vidéo a de superbes images. Toutes nos félicitations :)
Nice rail videos with some fantastic views! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark - Maxi and Maro :-D
Thank you for sharing nice view of that city, I want to go to this area thanks to you! subscribed 😊💙💛
Thanks =)
That's really cool footage. How where you able to get the camera in the front?
I drove
I saw complete video wonderful so nice
If I had the chance, I would definitely travel by rail in Switzerland ...
انشاءالله
красота)))😊
Thank you Lorirocks777 for your diligence, I appreciate your work. The best quality train videos on youtube.
Many thanks
Absolutely love these videos. About how long does it take for that "auto train" to go from station to station. And how long to drive?
The train ride itself takes 15 Minutes. All in all the car train would save you an hour over driving through the Gotthard Road Tunnel, depending on where your journey starts. Say from Basel to Zermatt you could save an hour, but from Zurich to Zermatt you wouldn't save any time at all.
Thank you the information.
Thank you. Watching this video made a perfect end to my Christmas Day! Beautiful scenery, and lots of very interesting trains 'going the other way' (including relief passenger trains).. The video was clearly taken on a winter Saturday, as there were lots of leisure travelers both on rail and road! I think it was either 22nd or 29th February, as that was 'Karneval' in some parts of Europe.
Thank you!
this brought me successful through studying today, thank u very much
Thanks for your comment =)
I love watching these. Being in "behind the eons" Cincinnati Ohio on a continent far, far, away. I like tracing on a map where the various joining lines are heading off to, or in from The only map I have found so far "SBB CFF FFS" is little help at the junctions [probably meant for tourists], often not showing things like the grauholztunnel route. Interesting construction by the way. Can you or any other viewers suggest a better on-line map of these wonderful rail lines.
Vielen Dank für so ein schönes Video, glückliche Ferien
Another incredible video. A very safe and happy holiday season to you and thanks for the wonderful uploads, and you gained a new subscriber.
Thank you, same to you!
Nice video. The first part with the mountain pass is as close to heaven as you can be. Beautiful scenery, with snow covered mountain tops and front seat to all the beauty inside the cab of the Siemens loco (i think its class 189 in Germany) Also spotted its latest brother, the Vectron in some stations :). Also interesting to see how the train driver was handling the train down the steep slopes 2.5, 3 %, that's pretty big for any train, not to mention a 1500 tons one.
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
This is the best video so far! If you ever ride a SIM train over the Loetschberg ramps, I'd be happy if you can make a video too.
Greets Andy
Merry Xmas to you and your family. Take care and stay safe. Enjoyed this entire journey by cargo train and hope to experience another similar journey before the year end. Thanks for sharing. 😀😀😀
Thank you, merry christmas!
Je n'ai pas bien compris l'arrivée ! Sinon très sympa et très cool de traverser la Suisse des confins de l'Italie à l'Alsace en prenant son temps. Vitesses peu élevées mais aussi très peu d'arrêts, du coup la moyenne est raisonnable. Le paysage de la première heure est magnifique.
This is great! Beautiful scenery!
But, better if it could be filmed in 360!
We travelled this route lots of times as we frequently stayed at Kandersteg for the holidays. I love to travel by train especially in Switzerland. I have some amazing footage of trains on this route.Those were made from the footpath along and above the tracks. I'am afraid that they will close this route in the near future. In my opinion that would be a mistake. I enjoyed watching your video.
A long 🧳 ride on Christmas ⛄🎄. Have a blessed one.
Thank you! You too!
Vielen vielen Dank für diesen erstaunlichen und sehr tollen Film! Sehr schöne Aufnahmen und sehr schön redigiert. Mag besonders auch den Blick in den “Rückspiegel”, der für einen Lokführer auf ein Güterzug zu wichtig ist. In dieser Zeit, wo ich wirklich meinen alljährliche Reise in die Schweiz vermisse, ist dieser Film ein Pflaster auf die Wunde. Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Rutsch mit volldampff ins neue Jahr. Nochmals DANKESCHÖN für Deine Mühe, diesen Film zu erstellen. Beste Grüße von ein dänischer “Flachlands-Lokführer” 😊
Danke für den netten Kommentar! Es freut mich dass der Rückkamera einige Zuschauer gefallen hat.
Ich wünsche Dir auch alles gute für 2021 und allezeit eine gute Fahrt.
In Dänemark war ich auch schon ein paar male.
Falls Du Interesse hättest ein paar von deiner Fahrten auf diesem Kanal zu teilen (falls das erlaubt ist), wäre das eine interessante Sache. Kamera Ausrüstung würde ich schicken und für jedes Video etwas bezahlen.
Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz.
@@lorirocks777 Hallo nochmal aus Dänemark. Hmm... es gibt auf dieser Platform schon mehrere Aufnahmen aus Dänemark, unter anderem von “Togkanal” und “Trainspotter”. Das dänische Fernsehen, DR, hat auch vor ein paar Jahren her, Aufnahmen von sämtlichen Bahnstrecken gemacht. Es gibt also schon Aufnahmen von viele Strecken in Dänemark, damit aber nicht gesagt, das nicht Platz wäre, für ein oder zwei Aufnahmen mehr. Ich bin bei der DSB tätig, und mein Alltag verbringe ich bis auf weiteres nur mit Triebfahzeuge des Typs MF und ER (Flexliner) Grundsätzlich ist der Gebrauch von “nicht Dienstlichen” Elektronik während der Fahrt untersagt - ich denke aber, das ist bei den meisten EVU`s so... Schicken Sie mir doch bitte ein Foto von der Aufstellung des Kamera auf den Fuhrerstand - und ein paar Kommentare zur Auf- und Abbau. Beste Grüße aus dem Norden 😊
拍攝的很漂亮、真真正正的高原鐵路！……🤩🤩🤩
Que viagem maravilhosa as imagens são lindas de lugares que só existem na Suissa, quem dera se no Brasil tivéssemos ferrovias como estas .
