Thanks for this and all your other wonderful vids of train rides in Switzerland. I've done many of them myself, too, and it's great to see them again in the luxury of my chair at home. Also the straight ahead driver views add a unique perspective. If you are planning another trip to Switzerland, I'd recommend the Montreux -- Rochers-de-Naye train, which has a spectacular route overlooking the Lake of Geneva and ending at a restaurant INSIDE a mountain! There's an alpine garden at the top, as well as Tibetan Yurts and marmots on display, and the views are overwhelming.

Absolutely brilliant

+Bob Stinson Thank you Bob, I would like to have left some of the shorter tunnels in, unfortunately the small GoPro cameras I use have a lot of trouble with the transition from daylight to the comparative darkness of the tunnels. I really appreciate the drivers letting me place a small camera on the windscreen, which can be done quickly with the minimum of fuss, to use a bigger, more capable camera would almost certainly result in the drivers refusing to give me permission. As you noticed this train was very quiet and smooth, a reflection of the train build quality and the excellent condition of the track. It is a pleasure for me to produce and share these videos as I know how much I enjoy watching other peoples cab ride videos.

But like I've said before it's interesting to me to see the different types of tunnel construction and how they are holding up as time goes on. Have you ever seen the movie The Eiger Sanction starring Clint Eastwood? If you have does that train tunnel through the mountain with the portals blasted in the rock really exist or is that just all Hollywood somewhere else? Or do I have different countries mixed up?

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, the driver/engineer definitely gets the best view.

Only one correction to your comments above. This line, which was the only narrow gauge line the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) operated, was sold in 2005 to a private company now called the "Zentralbahn". To confuse things even more, the SBB owns 2/3 of the stock, with the Swiss government, the cantons of Nidwalden and Obwalden and the municipality of Engelberg owning the rest except for 5% in private hands. That explains the SBB/CFF/FFS logos on the trains.

​@@Timsvideochannel1 You just reminded me of an old Swiss joke. It goes like this: When God was creating Switzerland, he asked the first Swiss man: "What would you like to have in your country?" The man replied: "Well, I really like mountains." God waved his hand, and lo, the majestic Alps were formed. Then God asked, "Would you like anything else?" The man said, "Yes, I'm partial to grassy hills and meadows, too." Another wave of god's hand, and the countryside was full of abundant wildflowers in every imaginable shape and color [Here a quick aside: if you are ever in Switzerland in early July, you must go to Blumental above Mürren!]. God then asked the man, "Are you pleased now?" The man said, "Well, yes, but there's still something missing. I would like to see cows on the meadows." Once again, God waved his hand, and the grasslands were full of cows munching contentedly. The man, visibly moved, went up to one of the cows, milked it, and filled a glass with the milk. Then he handed the milk to God, who drank deeply. God said, "Are you content now?" The man said, "Almost. You still owe me four Francs fifty for the milk."

The driver on my visit to the MIB spoke to me as I was waiting for a train back to Interlaken, I told him I liked train travel and he said "you have time to take a ride on my train before the next service to Interlaken" so I purchased a ticket from the ticket machine on the train and joined him for a very pleasant ride along the line. The driver chatted to me about the line, it was interesting to note that he knew every passenger by name, there was a real community spirit about this railway. I am glad he asked me to join him, as I would never have known about the MIB otherwise. Best Wishes ... Tim.

I wrote a book on this. ;) It's complicated. Simplest answer, is that in part in Europe in general it developed long before cars so they have much more concentrated towns and homes which makes trains more feasible. When people are really spread out it, it doesn't work so well. It's too hard to get the train station. Someone living on the edge of this town, could still walk to the train within 10 minutes.
