★ 4K 🇨🇭 Niesenbahn cab ride, up to 68% incline, Switzerland [07.2022] Führerstandsmitfahrt Niesen lorirocks777 2024-05-18 | In this video we'll be heading up to the Niesen peak on one of the world's longest scenic funiculars, climbing over 1'600 metres (5'250 ft.) alongside the world's longest staircase. The Niesen is the first of a range of mountains stretching from Spiez through to Adelboden in the Bernese Highlands. From Spiez, it almost has the appearance of a pyramid, earning it he nickname "Swiss Pyramid". The top offers a breathtaking 360 degree panorama of the surrounding alps and lakes, especially on clear days like this one. The video also includes a walk around the top, with the views it has to offer. The Niesen has been a popular spot for visitors for hundreds of years, leading to the opening of a hotel at the top in 1856. Around the same time, the feasibility of building a railway to the top was examined, however the plans were for a cog wheel railway from Wimmis (in the adjacent valley, on the otherside of the mountain). This was not perused due to it's high cost, but in all, 3 main attempts were made to realise the railway. With the new Spiez - Frutigen railway opening in 1901, the potential for a Niesen railway from the Kander valley grew more appealing. It was this variation that came to fruition, with the funicular proving to be much more cost effective to build and maintain. The line was opened in the summer of 1910.We have already driven trains through both aforementioned valleys, namely passing Mülenen in the Kander valley on the Lötschberg railway in our video from Basel to Brig and in our journey from Spiez to Zweisimmen through the Simme valley (Simmental).

★ 4K 🇫🇷 Bayonne - Toulouse-Matabiau, France [08.2023] Pyrenees Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2024-05-07 | It is in the Pyrenees that we meet for this new video, more precisely on the Bayonne - Toulouse line. For those who don't know, the Pyrenees is a mountain range in south western France, separating the Liberian peninsula from the rest of Europe.It was in 1913 that the relatively early electrification for the time of this line began, at 12 kV - 16.66 Hz due in particular to the steep gradient of the line, and the large number of pilgrim trains heading to Lourdes. It was only from 1923 that the more typically French 1.5 kV - DC appeared. Astoundingly, many of the original catenary posts and yokes are still standing and in service today. Also note the way the catenary lines are mounted in the curves - an older slanted technique which requires much more skill to accomplish. There are only a few lines left in Switzerland and France that have maintained this older design. We will cover the 321 km today aboard a Régiolis Z51500 which will easily tackle the Capverne ramp and its 33‰ (3.3%) ramps.Still partly equipped with manual block signals, you will be able to observe some of the last mechanical signals still in service in France. As you will see, many stations and branch lines connecting to our main artery are unfortunately closed today, to our great regret.The beauty of the landscapes crossed by this atypical line in France and not yet available on YouTube strongly encouraged us to make this video, we hope that you will enjoy it and that you will tell us in the comments what you thought of it.We wish you a pleasant trip through the Pyrenees!For those of you who only enjoy riding in the sun, you might want to skip ahead. After the first hour there is a lot more sunlight.Photo: Christopher L.NWe hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to contribute, please click the following link.

Usually, all passenger trains coming from the direction of Bern as we are, continue on the main line to Lausanne. We, however, will be taking a very special connection line from Puidoux down to Vevey, with a 3.8% decent. The line was nicknamed "the vineyard railway", as we pass directly through a unesco heritage listed region of Vineyards overlooking lake Geneva (lac Léman), notably the largest lake in Switzerland. Hopefully we'll be able to show you the line at a later date in full daylight.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Schöftland - Aarau - Menziken cab ride, Switzerland [11.2023] Führerstandsmitfahrt WSB lorirocks777 2024-02-24 | We're looking at another unique line in Switzerland in this video. During the railway boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, railways were not only built between major cities and industrial hubs, but also to smaller profile regions. This seemed to have been the case worldwide, with most of the smaller railways being phased out when larger investments were needed, or when cars and trucks gained prominence. Switzerland too lost a few of it's smaller railways, but no where near as many as other European countries. This is one of those railways, that may have been abandoned in favour of other services in another country, but it continues to be maintained and optimised to meet the demands of the present. The major portion of the two railways we'll see in this video, used to share the road with other traffic, however over the years, as you'll see labelled in the video, the tracks have been moved to reduce crossings and increase the overall safety of the line. As a result, we will actually be travelling on two former SBB trackbeds, one between Aarau and Suhr, the other between Reinach and Menziken (the former line from Seetal to Beromünster). The line was formally also used to freight traffic, with special facilities that allowed normal gauge wagons to "piggy back" on narrow gauge bogies. The stations Suhr & Oberentfelden both had the necessary equipment to allow these transfers. There are still some remaining narrow gauge railways that continue the practice today. For anybody wondering, the two blinking lights inside of a Rhombus tell the driver that somebody would like to board at the upcoming station. Some stations are request stops only, and have buttons to press near the platform to stop the train. Another little note, the inclines shown in the top right corner are the maximum inclines on the line until the next station - unlike in other videos, where they usually only apply to the section of track following the signal. The other lines we have looked at that operate in a similar fashion (in close proximity to the road) are listed here for those who are interested:Seetalbahn: youtu.be/TjgQ0dJaAkA?si=5Xf9I-2OuHktXsd6youtu.be/vl-Ex2BmHQM?si=bT7x6BnNgWj2bJjMWaldenburgerbahn: youtu.be/vwNqAzweHaA?si=lC35eu9SMR1DJ6Hnyoutu.be/nrw_yImHPQo?si=8pNHTo2ZHmowo4geWe hope you enjoyed the video.

We start the year by saying goodbye to the BB67400 series of locomotives of SNCF Fret (freight). After 54 years of service, their final hour has come. We join the driver on the very last train pulled by this iconic workhorse on a beautiful line we haven't seen before through rural southern France. The line has a few considerable inclines which are noted to the lower left of the screen in promille. We will also be crossing a famous bridge built by Gustav Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel tower.Throughout the video, there are snapshots and videos of the train passing as it was driving. Many thanks to the photographers and railway friends who shared their recordings for this video!Unfortunately, the windshield wasn't quite up to par for this recording. Usually we would record the line again for a nicer viewing experience, but considering the rarity of this composition - that this is the very last BB67400 headed train of SNCF Fret, we considered it worth while to share.Music at the end: Savfk - For TomorrowTéléchargement gratuit : Musique proposée par Audio LibreWe hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇫🇷 Clermont-Ferrand - Sibelin cab ride en BB75400, France [06.2023] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-12-25 | Cette nouvelle vidéo en France va nous mener cette fois-ci de Clermont-Ferrand à Sibelin, en périphérie de Lyon, à bord un train de FRET. Après avoir remonté jusqu’à St-Germain-des-Fossés la ligne du Bourbonnais, nous bifurquons plein est en direction de Roanne, et quittons désormais la caténaire : nous circulons désormais en double voie traction autonome. Cet itinéraire a d’ailleurs longtemps été utilisé pour dédoubler la ligne de Paris à Lyon pour le trafic FRET. Après avoir parcouru une longue partie de cette belle ligne au caractère rural, nous traversons Roanne, sous-préfecture de la Loire, Loire que nous traversons juste après avoir quitté la ville, et qui nous détachera également au Coteau de la ligne vers St-Germain-au-Mont-d’Or et Lyon.Le trajet se poursuit alors vers St-Etienne, où nous retrouvons la ligne plus directe mais en partie fermée de Clermont-Ferrand via Thiers.La caténaire est de retour ici, et nous retrouvons un trafic péri-urbain, St-Etienne et Lyon étant deux périphéries très connectées. À Givors, on bifurque de nouveau et on traverse le Rhône, pour s’insérer dans la PLM et ainsi rejoindre le grand triage de Sibelin, en périphérie lyonnaise, point but de notre voyage.Nous vous souhaitons un bon visionnage, ainsi que de bonnes fêtes de fin d’année!Merry christmas.

Enjoy the trip as we slowly gain altitude from Landquart at 523m above sea level to St. Moritz at 1775m above sea level, passing through the longest meter gauge railway tunnel in the world (Vereina) and through many beautiful Swiss mountain villages.For those of you who are more train saavy, you'll notice that a lot of the older RhB rolling stock is still in service. Since this has been shot, all of the Ge 6/6 II, Ge 4/4 I & ABe 4/4 IIIs have been retired, and most trains have become push pull, no longer requiring the locomotive to change sides at the end station.Here are video links to the lines that branch off from the line in this video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Zweisimmen - Montreux cab ride, Switzerland [09.2023] Führerstandsmitfahrt Goldenpass lorirocks777 2023-10-08 | Recently we had a look at the BLS line from Spiez to Zweisimmen (youtube.com/watch?v=D1rfamuO2_A). This video is a continuation on the narrow gauge railway to Montreux. Recently a new train was developed which allows travel between Montreux and Interlaken via Spiez. This is achieved using a regauging system in Zweisimmen, in order to allow the specially developed coaches to travel on the normal gauge rails. The train we're travelling with today is a conventional narrow gauge train. We will, however, be passing a couple of the new trains on our journey.It's a popular train for tourists as we pass through the scenic Bernese alps and in Vaud and also a portion on Fribourg, on our way down to Montreux on the lake of Geneva.

Today we're taking a line connecting the two, along the border Switzerland shares with Austria and Lichtenstein, which is defined by the river Rhein. In Switzerland it is known as the Rheintalbahn (Rhein valley railway), not be be confused with the Rheintalbahn in Germany (which will also be covered on this channel). Apart from the section between Heerbrugg and Oberriet, the land we see to the far left until we reach Rüthi belongs to Austria, and from just past Rüthi to Sargans it belongs to Liechtenstein. In a future video, we will travel from Buchs through Liechtenstein and on to Feldkirch in Austria.The line is currently closed (February - October 2023) due to construction of a second track in certain sections to allow for an increased frequency of passenger services. Furthermore, a few stops that were closed over the years are to be renewed and reactivated, as labelled throughout the video. This is one of the reasons we love documenting railways in this way - when everything has been changed and looks different, we still have something to look back on.We hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇮🇹 Ventimiglia - 🇲🇨 Monaco - 🇫🇷 Grasse, cab ride on the French riviera [09.2022] lorirocks777 2023-09-01 | It is on the famous "French Riviera" that we meet for this new video. 259km long, the Côte d'Azur line connects Marseille to Ventimiglia in Italy, and is famous for the beauty of its landscapes, skirting the Mediterranean Sea for a large part. In a previous video we have discovered the line between Nice and Marseille before continuing to Paris via the LGV (link: youtu.be/0m3eOstD30A?si=OxvyTtjlJYdloUkK).Today, we're looking at the line leading from Italy to Nice, departing from Ventimiglia, crossing Monaco, before passing through Nice heading to Grasse on a branch separating from the main line after Cannes. So we'll be journeying through 3 countries in this video.If you aren't familiar with Monaco, it's the second smallest country in the world, behind Vatican City. The train line was formally above ground and was moved underground to free up space in the city. As we enter the tunnel, you can see the route the railway used to take to the left.We hope you enjoyed the video.

This line, which is more than famous in France, put into service between 1847 and 1855, connects the three largest cities, namely Paris, Lyon and Marseille. It is still called the "Imperial Artery", it was the main line of the mythical Le Mistral train, and was used in 1954 to set the first rail speed record. 863 km long, it is electrified at 1500 volts DC, and is complimented by the high-speed line in its entirety. Today, there is no longer a train linking Paris to Marseille directly via this historic route.It is between Marseille and Lyon along the Rhone Valley that we will cover the route in this new video. On this beautiful summer day, you can admire the beauty of this line bordering the left bank of the Rhône, after leaving the beautiful city of Marseille, and crossing the city of the popes.We wish you a pleasant viewing experience, do not hesitate to like this video if you enjoyed it and to leave a little comment.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Spiez - Interlaken Ost cab ride [06.2023] Switzerland Führerstandsmitfahrt Thunersee lorirocks777 2023-08-01 | Happy Swiss national day!Today we're on a picturesque line along the lake of Thun, between Spiez and Interlaken. Interlaken is a popular tourist destination in Switzerland. The name literally means "between the lakes" as it is situated between the lake of Thun and the Brienz lake. The normal gauge network ends there and narrow gauge railways continue on to various locations in the alps. We've been on this line before, on a longer journey from Vallorbe to Interlaken: youtu.be/L-O0k1oF9_YSince then, the 3 stations between Interlaken and Spiez have unfortunately been closed to passenger traffic and are served by buses instead. Here is a video showing the old BLS rolling stock stopping along the line: (youtu.be/b9Ljbc98V6c?t=443) and also the regional freight train (which no longer serves Interlaken): youtu.be/Z8ab-q7L2VMOn a side note, there used to be a narrow gauge line on the other side of the lake, providing a link to the Beatenberg funicular. It resembled a tramway and also connected Thun to Interlaken, with a further line in Thun to Steffisburg. The line was different to this one in that it had to gain 60 metres in elevation due to the terrain along the lake. As cars gained popularity, the railway lost passengers and slowed traffic due to the fact that it often shared the road with them. By 1952, the trains were replaced by trolleybuses, after just 38 years of operation. The line between Interlaken and Beatenbucht was already closed in 1939.I hope you enjoyed the video.

Operating at 1500 V DC from Paris to Le Mans then in 25 Kv single-phase beyond, this line with a fairly simple profile has seen many trains pass due to its direct link between the capital and Brittany (Bretagne).It notably crosses in the part that we present to you today the departments of La Sarthe, Orne very briefly, Eure-et-Loir before arriving in the Paris region by crossing Yvelines, then Paris.It is therefore a new line with a very interesting route that we present to you today, starting from Le Mans, and heading towards the capital, which we see taking shape as the video progresses after leaving the more remote regions of the former Center region.We wish you a pleasant trip, and do not hesitate to send us your comments.Photo: Aurelien GuiotWe hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Basel - 🇫🇷 Strasbourg cab ride [01.2023] Führerstandsmitfahrt im Elsass lorirocks777 2023-06-02 | In this video, we'll be starting on the first railway built on Swiss territory and continuing our journey on one of the first railways built in France. This line beat the first Swiss railway (The Spanisch Brötli Bahn) by 3 years, with the section connecting Basel in Switzerland and St. Louis in France, opening in 1844.The first parts of the line opened to traffic in 1840, 13 years after the first French railway. At this stage, the French network only consisted of about 500 km of rails. 1841 saw the majority of the line complete, with the remaining sections being completed by 1846. The whole region was given over to Germany after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, until the end of World War I in 1918. This led to the line being optimised for right hand drive operation, which is still the case today. Germany also opened a connection line between St. Louis and Weil am Rhein, allowing transit from Germany into the Elsass region without the need to pass through Basel. Parts of the line still exist for the industry and docks.I hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.

We've already featured Breil-sur-Roya - Nice on this channel, this time we're travelling in the opposite direction, but instead of stopping in Breil, we'll continue to Tenda. The line has a very interesting history - some of which you'll learn about throughout the journey. First conceived in the 1860's, it was met with opposition in France for security reasons. Finally, construction started, but alas, a few years later, World War I broke out and it came to a halt. Finally in 1928, the line from Cuneo (Italy) through Breil-sur-Roya (France) to Vintimiglia (Italy) was opened, including a connection line from Breil to Nice. The line suffered a lot during World War 2, with some structures being destroyed multiple times. Most of the line was left in a state of despair, but miraculously, it was restored and reopened in 1979.More information to come. Enjoy your journey!We hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Liestal - Waldenburg cab ride: The 2nd last day of operation [04.2021] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-05-05 | This cab ride was recorded on the 2nd last day of operation for this 750 mm gauge railway - the only one of it's kind in Switzerland that served passengers daily. The last day was overcast, making this the last sunny day of operation for these trains.The railway is beloved in the region - made apparent by the large number of people who came to ride on it one last time, take photographs or stand by and wave. The trains were decorated with reefs and running in longer configurations than usual for the weekend.After the final public train in the early hours of the morning on the 6th of April, it was farewell. The trains were sold to a 760mm railway in Slovakia and the tracks would be rebuilt with the more standard 1000 mm gauge. This would make it cheaper to produce rolling stock and allow a possible connection to the tram network of Basel in the future.The new railway is now in operation. During the construction process I filmed a video from a car to give viewers a glimpse into what was happening. It will be released on this channel eventually too - as well as a video of the new line.I hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Spiez - Zweisimmen cab ride, Switzerland [05.2021] Führerstandsmitfahrt Simmentalbahn lorirocks777 2023-04-28 | The line we're looking at today was originally two lines, built and run by separate operators. The Spiez - Erlenbach railway was opened in 1897, after the Thunerseebahn between Thun and Interlaken had been inaugurated in 1893. The line aimed to link markets, especially the trading of livestock in Erlenbach with other parts of Europe.In 1902, a second railway company (EZB) built a railway from Erlenbach to Zweisimmen, where a narrow gauge connection would be opened in 1905 to Montreux. In 1942, the two companies merged, before merging with the BLS in 1997.As with most of the Swiss network, freight traffic has seen a decline over the past decades, with currently only 1 or two stations still being served on the line. There is an hourly commuter train serving all stations and also an hourly RegioExpress, which couples to the RegioExpress from Brig in Spiez and continues as one train to Bern - thus allowing the direct connection to Bern from Zweisimmen. The line is also part of the Goldenpass service, which is a connection from Montreux directly to Interlaken, with special coaches that can are adaptable for both gauges.At the start of our journey, you'll see the Niesen summit to the left, a popular destination for tourists that allows a panoramic view of a large part of the Bernese highlands. The Lötschberg line runs in the valley on the other side of this mountain. In a future video, we'll be boarding a funicular that will take us all the way to the peak, from the valley station in Mülenen.I hope you enjoyed the video.

The section from Neussargues to St-Chély will be covered in a future video. The line we're travelling along has gradients of up to 3%, allowing us to appreciate the famous purr of the V16 Pielstick engine of the BB67400, in one of the few 4K videos in this locomotive on Youtube. In case you missed our first video with a locomotive of this type, including a view of the cab and engine during starting, it can be seen here: youtu.be/UOFIiPnT1e0 (Argentan - Granville).The lines we're travelling on today are between 150 - 180 years old.

★ 🇧🇪 Dinant - 🇫🇷 Thionville cab ride from Belgium to France [02.2020] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-04-07 | Dear viewers. Welcome to our first venture out into Belgium. Before you go into shock about the low quality of this video, let me share some background. Don't worry, we won't be taking steps backwards in regards to quality. This is a video I have been editing on and off for the past 3 years. Back then, most of my videos were still Full HD 1080p. The plan was to see if there was any interest in Belgian railways and if there was, we'd start recording in 4K.Well, we'll be getting 4K videos from Belgium now if you like it or not - but I still wanted to release this as a teaser and because a lot of work went into it. Whether or not it was worth it is up to you - but I think we'll be covering this line again in the future in 4K. So for the viewers with large 4K televisions - stay tuned.Our train today started in Muizen (roughly between Brussels and Antwerp) and will continue to Gallerate in northern Italy. It's interesting seeing the places they run through, before they transit through Switzerland on one of the two alpine crossings we're familiar with - or possibly Austria. If you're wondering about the changing colours and curved text on the bottom of the screen - this isn't a professional camera. It was just a test. Future videos will be in the quality you've gotten used to until now.We hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.

The line links the intersection at Kerzers in the canton of Fribourg with Lyss in the canton of Bern. Lyss is a city along the railway connection between Biel/Bienne and Bern.Just before Lyss, we'll pass through Aarberg, one of Switzerland two large sugar production hubs (the other being in Frauenfeld). What I personally appreciate is the fact that most of the original catenary posts from 1944 are still in use. The old rolling stock parked shortly before Kallnach (9:05) is also interesting.I hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Biel - La Chaux-de-Fonds - Le Locle cab ride [01.2021] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-03-17 | In this video, we're looking at the line from 1874 between Biel and La Chaux-de-Fonds. From there we'll be following the line continuing to Le Locle as part of the line from Neuchâtel to La Chaux-de-Fonds completed in 1860 (see video: youtu.be/Bx8H4gKi2pE). While the line to Neuchâtel was being renewed, regional trains services from Biel were extended from La Chaux-de-Fonds to Le Locle. Our video is of one such train, albeit in another season from La Chaux-de-Fonds onwards.Before the opening of the Grenchenberg line in 1915, that we've looked at previously (link: youtu.be/Wi3QI5VM3Vo), this line served as the international connection between Biel - Moutier - Delémont - Delle - Belfort. Afterwards, it was downgraded to a branch line.Enjoy the scenery as we climb close to 600 metres on our journey through the Jura mountains towards the French border.Timestamps:0:00 IntroLinked videos:2:52 Line to Neuchâtel: youtu.be/exzZIg7S5jE16:11 Line to Moutier: youtu.be/dx5Y7ITIZyU39:13 Line to Neuchâtel via Chambrelien: youtu.be/Bx8H4gKi2pEWe hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇫🇷 Briançon - Veynes-Dévoluy cab ride, France [12.2022] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-02-25 | We looked at this line about a year ago, but the amount of snow made another video worthwhile. This is our 11th video from France. See the others here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWoUS6jbUY-pwPC1C397w8BoG-0bMqr_oLink to the continuation to Marseille: youtu.be/hxxZVQ9ScYw?t=5614We will be travelling from France's highest city - Briançon with its train station at 1'203 meters above sea level to the junction Veynes-Dévoluy. From there you can continue to Marseille to the south, Grenoble to the north or Valence to the west.As most lines in France, this line has an interesting story. Probably the most interesting part for me, was discovering that 16 Km of the original line is now underwater. Due to a history of disastrous flooding, construction began in 1955 of what would then be Europe's largest dam to help regulate the water flow, further enable irrigation and bring hydro-electric power opportunities. In 1956, construction began of a new track section between Chorges and Embrun. It was opened in 1960, as the old line was submerged along with 2 stations, 4 tunnels and 2 notable viaducts. During maintenance of the dam every 10 years, the old line once again becomes visible.What is even more interesting is a branch line that was planned to leave the line near Chorges and connect to Barcelonnette. Construction commenced in 1909 and in anticipation of the dam, elaborate measures were taken to ensure the line would not be hampered by the then anticipated 50 to 80 meters of water. Many structures were completed including about 6 Km of tunnels, a 300m S shaped viaduct and a 680m viaduct crossing the Durance and what was to become the "Lac de Serre-Ponçon" dam. Inevitably works were hampered by the wars and the project ended up being abandoned as the dam was to hold much more water than originally planned, however many of the structures still exist today.We hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Oberwald - Furka - Realp rack railway diesel cab ride [08.2021] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-01-29 | In this video we'll be looking at the wonderful Furka mountain pass rack railway. We've been here once before. This time you have the chance to view it in the opposite direction. Here's the first video in case you missed it: youtu.be/uF0S5NP_vbwThe line used to be the heart of the Furka Oberalp railway (FO), a narrow gauge rack railway connecting the SBB station of Brig in the canton of Wallis with the RhB network in Disentis/Mustér (together hosting the glacier express), with a branch line connecting to Göschenen of the Gotthard railway. Construction of the line commenced in 1911. As a result of World War I, funds and workers were no longer available, putting a stop to progress. In 1926, the remainder of the line was finally finished.Due to large amounts of snow and the danger of avalanches, the line had to be closed during winter months. This included removing catenary wires and other pieces of infrastructure prone to damage, closing the tunnels and even folding a specially designed bridge down into the valley. The viaduct which once stood in its place was destroyed by an avalanche in 1916 before a train even got to drive on it.The high costs involved with this procedure, as well as the inconvenience of the line being divided for 5 to 6 months of the year led to the development of the Furka base tunnel. This was completed in 1982, upon which the mountain pass was decommissioned and planned to be removed. Thankfully, railway fans formed an association, aiming to preserve the line, which they were successful in doing. Finally by 2010, the line had been restored to the extent that trains could once again travel all the way from Realp to Oberwald. Special thanks the the DFB for allowing us to film and share this special experience of a former electric line with diesel and steam traction. In Gletsch we cross 2 steam trains. Apparently departures are only possible from track 1, which meant shunting to track 1 after the first steam train had left and then waiting for the second on to arrive.I hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇫🇷 Argentan - Granville cab ride, France [Autumn 2022] BB 67400 lorirocks777 2023-01-21 | In this video, we'll be travelling from Argentan, a town in northwestern France with a population of over 13'000 to the costal port town of Granville. The line was opened in sections between 1866 & 1870, allowing a direct connection from the costal town to Paris Montparnasse. The railway enthusiasts among you may have seen a picture of a steam engine that overran a buffer stop in Paris, resulting in it smashing through the station wall and plunging down onto the pavement. The train in question was an express train from Granville.Watching the video, you might notice that the track bed appears to be wide enough for a double track line. This was in fact the case before a line renewal between 1994 - 1999 saw the majority of the line reduced to single track. You'll also notice a large amount of stations that are no longer served. Apparently a stop at one of these stations is possible for larger groups, if arranged in advance. Our train consists of 2 diesel-electric locomotives of the type BB 67400, built between 1969 - 1975. Their main powerplant is a V16 Pielstick engine. Special thanks to "team France" for their great work in getting us the huge variety of cab rides we've been enjoying lately.I hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Lyss - Büren an der Aare cab ride, Switzerland [09.2022] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-01-14 | We're looking at a short but interesting line in this video - what once was the line Lyss - Solothurn. Passenger services ceased between Solothurn and Büren in 1994 due to low passenger volume. Since 2016, the line has been separated in Büren an der Aare due to a bridge that needed maintenance work.The trains serving this line used to continue from Solothurn on to Herzogenbuchsee, along a line that is now also partially missing. The remainder of it is now part of the Bahn 2000 connection from Solothurn to Wanzwil.I hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Zürich HB - Luzern cab ride, Switzerland [09.2019] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2023-01-07 | In this video, we're looking at the InterCity route between 2 popular Swiss cities with the tourists - Zürich, Switzerland's largest city and Lucerne, a city on a lake preceding the alps.The original line between Zürich and Luzern was actually routed via Affoltern am Albis to Zug, one we have looked at before. At that time, Zug was a terminus station like Zürich and Lucerne still are, which required a change of direction to reach Lucerne. Note the right hand curve after we leave Zug. The straight section after that curve formerly continued behind us to what was the terminus station. To assist in turning trains, the loop track labelled after leaving Zug was at that time not a loop, rather a track where trains could reverse left into from the terminus, then pull forwards towards Lucerne and reverse back into the station.When the line was built between Zug and Arth-Goldau in 1897, the loop was made and the station shifted to where it is now. The loop served to connect the line from Arth-Goldau with Lucerne as well as Zürich via Affoltern am Albis. It was taken out of service in 1990. All trains to Lucerne from the south were now forced to take the Gotthard line until Immensee or Rotkreuz, where lines branched off towards Lucerne, and trains towards Zürich would continue via Thalwil.This video is a little different in that the camera was mounted outside of the cab - the main difference being the sound and lack of window reflections.

We'll be travelling a large part at 300km/h (320km/h at times) during our trip of more than 1000km through France, after proceeding along the splendid Côte d'Azur (French Riviera) to Marseille. We will then see the entire Mediterranean LGV (high speed line) opened in 2001 as well as the Rhône-Alpes and South-East LGVs, which opened a few decades earlier.Please note that the camera stabilisation caused occasional jolty movements during the first 2.5 hours of the video. We're working on this problem. The sun also wasn't optimal, but during the high speed section, conditions are a lot better.We hope you enjoyed the video and the whole team wishes you a wonderful christmas and a great start to the new year!I hope you enjoyed the video.

I ended the recording in Bussigny due to the weather. I was expecting the snow we see at departure to be more present along our route, but a few stations down the line it was just raining. Nevertheless, I kept recording because of the construction works along the way - which show the line in a unique condition. There is construction work at the stations of Montreaux, Cully (1 track missing) & Renens. Between Lausanne and Renens a rail overpass is under construction and 2 of the 4 tracks have been completely removed for their renewal. You also might notice the cable channels along most of the line are also being renewed.For those who don't like the weather, the complete trip from St-Triphon to Basel is coming with sunny weather.I hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇫🇷 La Grande Ceinture parisienne cab ride, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges - Paris-Est [09.2022] lorirocks777 2022-11-04 | Welcome to this new video! We are back in France to travel a very special line today, on board a very special train! Indeed, we are traveling on board the VSOE (Venice Simplon Orient Express) which, after having traveled through part of Europe at night, arrives in Paris from the PLM line. But to get to the Paris-Est station, our train takes a line that is rarely used by passenger trains: "la Grande Ceinture parisienne" or roughly translated, the Great Parisian Belt. This line will be the focus of today's video. It forms somewhat of a loop around Paris and allows the interconnection of all the main Parisian lines and stations.Our journey begins at dawn, at the southern entrance of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges station and ends when the train arrives, at Paris-Est station.You will be able to discover many abandoned stations and facilities, most of which have been barely used and subsequently closed due to the low passenger traffic on the line. Only freight trains, a few inter-sector TGVs and a few special passenger trains like ours today use it.Bon voyage and happy discovering of this essential peripheral line, which is nevertheless unknown to many.We hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Freight cab ride including loading and unloading, Samedan - Preda, Switzerland [05.2021] lorirocks777 2022-10-28 | We join Paolo today on a train responsible for transporting excavated material from the currently under construction Albula 2 tunnel. We'll be seeing the whole process of loading and unloading the train, as well as the journey to and from the construction site from Samedan.It's already an historic video, as the red pilot wagon you can see at one end has since been scrapped and the track we'll be on during loading in Spinas has also since been removed.For those who feel sick travelling backwards, you might want to skip to the second half of the video. At first we'll be looking back on the train on our way to the construction site. On the way back however, we'll be travelling forwards, with Paolo sharing the same view as us. How does this work? Can you really drive a train from behind? You'll learn more about this during the video.Join us for the premier where we will there to say hi and answer questions.We hope you enjoyed the video.

★ 4K 🇨🇭 Laupen - Bern - Langnau, cab ride Switzerland [09.2022] Führerstandsmitfahrt lorirocks777 2022-10-14 | Today we're looking at a couple of interesting lines in the canton of Bern aboard the S2 service. The line we're starting on formerly connected Flamatt & Gümmenen. In 1993, it was decided only to operate the line to Laupen due to the low volume of people that used the section to Gümmenen and the inadequate connects between trains there.In a 2020 video from Geneva to Lucerne, you can see the line as it was being overhauled (youtu.be/1kgmgDbHg1g?t=6481). For this purpose it was closed for a number of months. Amongst other things, the overhead wiring was completely renewed and the station of Laupen (formally a 5 track station) was moved a few hundred meters towards Flamatt and given just a single platform.

★ 4K 🇫🇷 Paris Saint-Lazare - Rouen Rive Droite cab ride, France [09.2022] lorirocks777 2022-10-07 | Welcome to another video in France, this time we're starting in Paris following the river Seine northwest to the town of Rouen. Those who watch our last trip in France from Bordeaux to Marseille may recall that we travelled along one of the first railways in France (the section Sète-Ville - Tarscon). The line we're one today also belongs to that category, having opened in 1843. What I love about the French railway is how interconnected it is (and in many cases was - many lines have been closed.) There are many more options of how to get from A to B than on your typical railways in Switzerland and also a lot of options for turning around. The junctions with former and current connecting lines are labelled during the journey.If you'd like to follow our journey, I can recommend openrailwaymaps.org. It's basically a google map for railways with a great deal of information including where most former railways were. Special thanks to Aurélien G. for providing the photo of the train at the start on the bridge. He also has a youtube channel with cab rides in France: youtube.com/channel/UCj324jmT7aXT3kTRO41VaogTimestamps:I hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.
