Cab Ride Glacier Express Disentis-Mustér - Chur (Rhaetian Bahn, Switzerland) train driver's view 4K
In this video, you can enjoy the cab ride - a train driver's view from Disentis-Mustér to Chur in Switzerland on the famous Glacier Express in the resolution of 4K/60 frames per second.
Glacier Express (GEX), known as the “slowest express train in the world” is a direct eight-hour end-to-end connection between the major Swiss mountain resorts of Zermatt and St. Moritz. Operated by a joint venture between Matterhorn-Gotthard Bahn (MGB) and Rhaetian Bahn (RhB) on the narrow (meter-gauge) railway network in the Swiss central Alps it provides (together with Bernina Express) scenic and exclusive experience.
The fourth part of our journey takes us from Disentis to Chur, now on the network of Rhaetian Bahn (RhB), following the Reichenau-Tamins to Disentis/Mustér railway line downhill from the Disentis/Mustér at the border with MGB railway network, following the valley and canyon of Vorderrhine river to the confluence where Vorderrhine and Hinterrhine merge to form the River Rhine at Reichenau-Tamins, after which we join the double-track section of Lanquart-Chur-Thusis railway line for the last stretch into Chur. Originally completed in 1912, Reichenau-Tamins to Disentis/Mustér railway (also called Vorderrheinlinie or Surselvalinie), railway line takes us through some spectacular landscape, primarily through the Rhine Gorge canyon (Ruinaulta), a 13-kilometer and up to 400-meter deep canyon of the Vorderrhine river that has been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, and is best accessed by the Rhaeatian Bahn trains via the stops at Reichenau and Trin. On the last segment from Reichenau-Tamins to Chur, we also follow what is probably the most known dual-gauge track segment, between the EMS Chemie chemical factory and EMS-Werk station to Chur, where a standard-gauge track is interleaved with RhB meter-gauge to enable access to EMS Chemie from the standard-gauge railway network.
Like other lines in the MGB and RhB network, it uses unusual 11kV 16,7Hz electrification. While MGB uses rack-rail sections on it’s railway network, Reichenau-Tamins to Disentis/Mustér is a completely adhesion line, with maximum gradients of 27‰, thus the change of locomotives in Disentis/Mustér for Glacier Express is a common operation (from rack locomotive of MGB to standard adhesion rolling stock of RhB). At Chur, Glacier Express trains turn around to backtrack until Reichenau-Tamins where they continue to Thusis to complete their end-to-end journey from Zermatt to St.Moritz via Albula railway line (Albulabahn).

_Nach dieser schönen Fahrt, hier in Chur auf Gleis 13 angekommen, muss ich jetzt umsteigen, denn auf dem Bahnsteig Gleis 10 wartet schon der Zug nach: Thusis, und weiter nach St. Moritz._ _Hab ich alles dabei? Nichts vergessen? Na dann kann die nächste Reise nach St. Moritz drüben auf Gleis 10 beginnen._ After this beautiful journey, arriving here in Chur on platform 13, I now have to change because the train to Thusis and on to St. Moritz is already waiting on platform platform 10 Do I have everything with me? Do not forget? Well then the next trip to St. Moritz can begin over on platform 10.

If I remember correctly, east of Disentis-Mustér the gradients on the line is much lower, so a rack locomotive is no longer needed, as you mentioned. Also, this part of the line goes through what some call the "Grand Canyon of Switzerland," especially west of Domat/Ems.

Sorry if this question has been asked many times before but sitting behind a UK train driver, I know his speed limits are track-side displayed - how does Swiss system work, in-cab screen, automatically????

Since like 99% of the trackage has ETCS (and probably L2) it doesn’t need trackside markings, everything is displayed digitally
