You really get the feeling that this is a heavy freight train and not a lighter commuter train. You feel that it’s a powerful locomotive pulling a lot of weight. Fantastic. Many thanks.

Switzerland 🇨🇭 is such a wonderful eye treat, and I know it's good for holidays! Christmas 🎄 there is magical, I know it 😄

Super Video und Danke für die schöne Fahrt durch eine wunderbare Landschaft in der Schweiz

Lovely video as always - the freight train crossing at 39:05 had 4 locomotives, wow!!!

You've outdone yourself, thanks again. 👍

As a retired rail-technical from the UK, who first rode Swiss railways in 1958, I was fascinated by this cab ride. Why? Travelling on NO high speed lines, penetrating the vast yards of Muttenz, plus the gradual change from Swiss rail infrastructure to that of DB was both a revalation and a recall of long-forgotten memories. I have clicked on Subscribe, and look forward to more - on other routes. MERCI VIELMAL!

Welcome! Almost 100 videos are waiting to be watched, plus new ones are released regularly!

Cool that the destination for this train is in the Netherlands It's also cool to see that a lot of companies are linked to the railway lines

Absolutely Love your videos!!! So relaxing to ride along on a freight train.

Very enjoyable watch, one thing that caught my attention was the this was first video of a train ride through Switzerland that this train unit passed by so many other freight trains over the course of fairly short train route. In many countries a lot of fright service is restricted to overnight hours so interfere with passenger service so it was nice to see so many other freight train units out and about during the course of this video. This train wasn't even shunted once to a siderail to allow a passenger train to overtake it.

This is one of the north-south lines that are heavily frequented by cargo trains. A lot of them run during daytime, it's not an unusual sight here. Freight also rolls at night, when passenger trains are less frequent.

Wow! Excellent quality. Sharpness is off the charts. Thank you so much for this most enjoyable journey. This is a keeper.... be safe....

That was a superb journey, always enjoy watching your content. Got quite a bit to try and get through it would seem

Just love your videos. Thanks for the great ride along.

Switzerland is such a beautiful country and the people are quite nice and friendly, I was there just two years ago and we really enjoyed ourselves immensely. Plus there a number of people that have a wonderful take on life, we happened upon a gentlemen who owns a place in the town of Itingen not far from the city of Basel that has put a couple of large Spiderman figures on his place. We stopped to look at these figures and he came up to us and was explaining his like for Spiderman, we had a real wonderful time talking with him and real gem of a guy. Switzerland is the one country in Europe that the people should have a liking toward full size pickup trucks because of all the camping and farming spread throughout the country, we tried to rent one while there without luck.

Thanks!

Great and professional video as usual! 660 meters or 2165 feet in length. I am assuming that’s an average freight length for a large run or delivery in Switzerland. In the US freight (goods) trains can average around 2000 meters or 6562 feet. How many cars were in this run and was it exclusively intermodal?

@RailwayEmotions

2 жыл бұрын

Maximum length for freight is 750m. It can be anything between one single car up to said 750m. 660 is therefore on the longer side. Our country is small and does not allow for extremely long trains, they wouldn't fit into stations. There were 24 cars and all intermodal without exception.

We are also able to combine two trains into one, however it is very rarely used and the 750m limit still persists. Such a train could fit nowhere, neither at the start of the run or the terminus, nor somewhere in between. Freight trains are often put aside in bigger stations and then overtaken by faster trains. It simply would not work with longer trains.

Meines Erachtens nach ist die Strecke Basel-GBT-CBT-Chiasso vollständig als 4-Meter-Korridor ausgebaut. Da entsprechende Züge also nicht betrieblich besonders behandelt werden müssen, würde eine separate Zuggattung keinen Sinn machen. Am Lötschberg/Simplon ist das anders, da gilt nach wie vor die Slalomfahrt. Ich gehe doch davon aus, das „ihr“ auf den BZ genau wisst, um welche Zuggattung es sich jeweils handelt. Im Falle von Störungen bzw. Umleitungen ist das sehr wichtig und die Lokführer müssen sich darauf verlassen können.

They warn the construction workers from oncoming trains. And the other thing is a rescue train with a water tank.

Are you sure this train ends at Geleen (NL)? Geleen has no container terminal only a terminal at Chemelot which deals with chemical products. Also the positioning is a bit awkward cause Geleen has no yard to split trains. At Venlo there is a freight yard to split trains, are quite a number of container terminals. So split trains, eventually combined with others, can go to different locations in the Netherlands, Belgium, etc. Also containers and trailers can be collected and distributed throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany.

Was für eine grandiose Idee, die Auflieger durch Europa zu transportieren. In Deutschland fahren oder stehen die LKW auf der Autobahn. Tagtäglich kracht es bei Unfällen, weil die Fahrer übermüdet oder frustriert vom Stau sind. Wie lange dauert denn so eine Fahrt von Italien bis in die Niederlande?

Vollkommen der richtige Weg. Für solche Wege einen Fahrer mit Maschine fahren zu lassen ist schon Wahnsinn. Das Problem ist auch, dass leider viele auf Auflieger auf der Straße nicht KLV-fähig sind und mit in einem Terminal behandelt werden können. Aber hier gibt es auch Lösungen: HELROM Doppelwagen, die ihre Tasche hydraulisch in einer Ladestraße nach außen schwenken und den Auflieger aufnehmen können; oder seitlich ausfahrbare Tragtaschen (->so könnten die Auflieger auch "umsteigen; Der Hersteller ist mir gerade entfallen) Wenn man diese Auflieger kostenattraktiv auf die Schiene bringt, kann man die LKWs reduzieren, von der Umweltbelastung mal abgesehen. Edit: die Firma heißt CargoBeamer, ob es da mal eine größere Umsetzung gibt, weiß ich leider nicht.

Sicherlich bringt diese Variante keinen Zeitvorteil, denn der Umlad, das Zusammenstellen der Züge, Bremsproben, Länder-, Lok- und Personalwechsel etc. dauern ihre Zeit. Andererseits wird dieser Umstand ein Stück weit kompensiert, da die Bahn nicht von Staus oder Unfällen betroffen ist, wie die Strasse.
