It is a pleasure to share with our english speaking friends !

There are so many places and railways I have to see in my lifetime and this route is one of them. One of mankind's wonderful achievements, definitely on my bucket list.

then you should also take the Glacier Express and watch the waiters at work.

The scenery is spectacular, and also amazing is the amount of labor that created this route. Yet we saw no other rail traffic on this video. Seeing those power lines that swoop across the valley impressed me.

this may have to do with the fact that the base tunnel was opened at the beginning of June and the video was uploaded at the end of June, if the recording took place on a Sunday in between it would be normal to see no freight trains and also the passenger trains only travel the mountain route when they have to serve the small railway stations, all others have since travelled through the base tunnel

Thank you so much for this video. I reside in Glendale, Arizona, USA, just outside of Phoenix. I've always dreamed of visiting the Swiss Alps, but at age 60, I haven't had the means to do so, therefore, these videos that you create is the next thing to being there.

Wonderful. Happy memories of 1950's motor holidays. Living in a Third World country, a mess called Great Britain, the cleanliness & efficiency of Switzerland makes we weep with shame.

worth the trip.... the region is very picturesque ... i strongly recommand it to you if you have a chance.

Fascinating video. I did the return trip from Zurich to Locarno via Bellinzona in 1987. Terrific scenery, and the 3 circular tunnels were both a big surprise and quite spectacular. The change in height near the church was amazing. I have been working my way through my 35mm photo collection from that period and digitising it. I found some photos from where I was working in Locarno, and also from a trip around Lake Maggiore, but so far haven't found any from the rail trip. During the 80s I also visited Montreux several times and took the train from Geneva. One time I was their for a week, and commuted from Vevey. Excellent train service.

I've been through from the other side. We went from Locarno to Goschenen then took the narrow gauge train to Andermatt and Brig. Fabulous journey. You could see the narrow gauge train departing on the right as the train the video was taken from left Goschenen. It was winter when I travelled on that route so everything was covered in snow but the trains still ran immaculately to time. Swiss railways are brilliant.

Hello, fantastic this trip seen from the locomotive cabin. The landscape is breathtaking and so is the railway. The locomotive is a beautiful gem very well preserved. The video was very well done and even makes us feel like being inside the cabin. Of all the cab rides I've seen, this one is by far the best. Congratulations on doing it so well.

We invented railways, but the Swiss engineers pushed alpine railways to the limit of the envelope, then redrew the envelope. And now we have the Base tunnels. :D

Thanks for video. Brings back memories. I lived in the Ticino canton and took this trip many times both ways. I traveled out of Zurich International airport and always took the train to the airport as the morning train would have a special car which would be detached in Zurich and then taken to the airport.

Beautyful sights on a beautyful piece of railway. I only would like to see the same film without changing the speed in tunnels and variation of camera positions. A real ' watching forward' in real speed. But that 's my opinion. Still love it though.

Many thanks for your nice comments. I hesitated, but first it is almost all black and secondly, this can take some time. for instance only crossing the top tunnel, the Gothard one, takes about 20 to 25 minutes... maybe I can also upload the other version... i will think about that. Anyhow, many thanks and best regards

But when you drive through the base tunnel, you won't be able to see any of the beautiful mountain route. Even today, there are still swiss people who only travel on the mountain route in order to be able to see the church in Wassen three times on each journey.
