Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Welcome to the first Seetal Cab ride on youtube. This is a unique line in many ways. For starters, the line is constructed much like that of a tramway, with many intersections without barriers and reduced clearance for standard rolling stock due to the close proximity of the road. Usually tramways of this caliber feature light rolling stock. The Seetal railway however, was run with the normal heavy, standard gauge rolling stock of the SBB, including Ae 6/6 locomotives for freight, Rbe 4/4 motor coaches, De 4/4s & the specially produced De 6/6. These do not have the braking capacity of their lighter, narrow gauge counterparts, which poses a risk when crossing intersections without barriers.
During the past 30 years, many changes have been made to improve safety, including a massive reduction in crossings, installed barriers and the rerouting of the line at certain points. Beforehand there were over 500 crossings without barriers or warning lights. In 2009, the number could be reduced to 85, all fitted with a warning system, many with barriers.
Moving the entire track or fitting each crossing with barriers would have meant the end for this line due to the high costs involved, keeping in mind that it has never been profitable since it's conception in 1882. Closing the line in favour of a bus service has been debated in the past, notably in the 1950's and again in the early 90's due the safety concerns. Thankfully though, the line has been preserved and solutions were found.
Over the years, locomotives, wagons and trains have also been specially produced and adapted for use on the Seetal line. Notable examples are the De 6/6 Seetal crocodile locomotive, the reflective yellow strips used on many locomotives to warn cars and the more recently produced RABe 520, which we are riding in today, produced with a narrower body than standard SBB stock, to avoid the strafing of cars.
Freight traffic is also a very interesting part of the history of the railway. There still is occasional traffic from Hochdorf in the direction of Lucerne, where the clearance for standard trains is given. Unfortunately local freight traffic has been declining nationwide, especially in areas where only small amounts of freight were being transported. A search for "Seetal SBB" on google image search will produce some interesting photos of how things used to be.
And now, enjoy the ride on this historic railway!

There are so beautiful railway lines in Swiss. Wonderful :-)
I just love to watch these videos of train trips. It's like to be onboard. It's a wonderful way of making a trip without leaving the sofa, while quarantining. Thank you for posting and for the information about this historic railway. Greetings from Southern Brazil!
Eine schöne und ruhige Fahrt ohne Gequatsche in der Lock und lästige Nebengeräusche. Interessant ist auch, dass die Bahn überwiegend der Straße folgt und dadurch durch die Ortschaften fährt. Da gibt es einiges zu sehen als immer nur Feld, Wald und Wiese. Auch die Einblendung der Gewässer finde ich gut. Ein rundum gelungenes Video. ♥️lichen Dank 🙂
What a wonderful way to tour Switzerland. Thanks for taking us on the byways, not just the main lines.
Bin ich grad heut wieder gefahren, nach E'Brücke und dann wieder zurück in die Stadt. Ja, ist 'ne schöne Strecke, der Zug fühlt sich zwischen Rothenburg und Luzern wie ein Tram an. Besonders auch dass der Zug halt durch Reussbühl und der Baselstrasse entlang fährt, ein problembeladenes aber extrem spannendes Quartier.
Thank You for taking us along!! What a beautiful country you have!!
I love this line, because it runs on the side of the road or sometimes even on the road, like a tram. The units that run here are narrower than normal trains. It's a unique and interesting line! Thank you for sharing this cab ride.

It's similar to NJ Transit's RiverLINE that operates between the Camden Waterfront (near the Battleship New Jersey) and the Trenton Transportation Center (for Amtrak NEC trains, NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor and SEPTA's Trenton Line commuter trains). Most of the line runs on former Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Line (PRSL) and Conrail trackage, however there is some street-running, especially in Burlington (near the Burlington-Bristol Bridge), with some of the line hugging the banks of the Delaware River between Roebling and Trenton. Biggest difference is that the RiverLINE uses diesel-electric equipment instead of overhead electrical traction.

12:48 Small town with a small roundabout...and a RAILWAY going through it! I've never seen this kind of an arrangement before, and it's one of three on this line; the others are at 26:04 and 55:34
Gorgeous high quality video with awesome landscapes, just as you'd expect from Switzerland
An unfamiliar and most interesting route. It's really good to have something new to see at this difficult time. Thanks for posting it.
Une ligne originale et très intéressante. Très différente du réseau traditionnel. Merci beaucoup et prenez bien soin de votre santé durant cette mauvaise période. Sincères salutations.
Wonderful !! I didn't want the journey to end. Thank-you.
Thank you for refreshing my memory ,I have traveled on this line.
Wahnsinn was für eine unglaubliche Strecke. Hier gibt es soviel Besonderheiten das es einfach immer spannend ist. Danke für diesen tollen Upload 👍
A lovely and unique video. Great to see the railway line and road so close together for most of the journey.
Wunderbar mal eine Fahrt mit der Seetalbahn mit all ihren Besonderheiten erleben zu können! In Deutschland wäre diese Strecke spätestens in den 60er/70er Jahren wegen "Gefährdung des Straßenverkehrs" stillgelegt worden. Mit Geld und pfiffigen Ideen hat man es in der Schweiz geschafft, den "Kundenmetzger" zu erhalten.
I could have watched this for hours! Great video!
It never fails to amaze me what a beautiful country it is. It amazing how the transportation system works so well. " Great Video "
I really enjoy the rides like this on the single track lines through the countryside and small towns. It allows for a chance to see things that you might not see on the mainlines. Thanks for a nice video!
Eine andere schöne Mitfahrt, wie immer! Ich bin gespannt auf die nächste Reise! Vielen Dank!
Excellent video, lovely to watch, thank you Mike UK
Eine interessante Strecke. Es ist schön, dass das Bahnnetz in der Schweiz so dicht ist.
Das war aber wieder schön!!!! Danke fürs Hochladen!
Great ride! Big thanks from New York.

This is what I love about Swiss railways. There are so many of these branch lines, which are designed with serving the community uppermost, and many of the wayside stations still have sidings and goods yards.

Wahnsinn ! Ich bin in Zetzwil (Wynental) geboren und lebe jetzt schon über 20 Jahren in Surin (Thailand) . Da ich früher LKW Fahrer gewesen bin , kenne ich diese Gegend sehr gut . Jetzt nach so langer Zeit wieder mal mit dem Zug die Strecke zu fahren ist für mich ein besonderes Erlebnis . Einfach nur schön und genial das wieder mal zu geniessen .
Thanks for your videos😂Its always amazied to see the scenery of the other side of the world for me
Ein wunderschönes Video! Ich danke fürs mitnehmen, die Schweiz ist super :-))) Beste Grüße aus Österreich!

Finde diese Trassenführung so unmittelbar an der Landstraße sehr interessant. Kenne in Deutschland nur ganz, ganz wenige Orte, wo das aufgrund von Platzproblemen ähnlich gehandhabt wurde, zB auf der Insel Usedom an der Ostsee. Aber gut, so wie ich das immer mitbekomme, ist es ja um freie Flächen in der Schweiz meist nicht so gut bestellt, alles etwas mehr beieinander gerückt. Aber Props an eure Planer und Ingenieure, dass die es trotzdem hingebogen bekommen haben, diese dicht besiedelten Ortschaften an die Schiene anzubinden :D
Wow pemandangan sangat good sekali👍👍👍👍😊

@@MethosFilms not sure, but it's ~50km/30mi and takes ~70min, so average speed including stops would be just under 40kph/25mph. On long, straight stretches it'll go max 80kph/50mph I'd say - but don't quote me on that.
