🚆 TILTING TRAIN CAB RIDE with high speeds and fast corners (Switzerland | IC5 Zürich - Biel/Bienne)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Welcome to a different and somewhat special cab ride! Today we find ourselves in a SBB RABDe 500, better known as ICN. ICN is German and stands for InterCity Neigezug, intercity tilting train.
The idea behind tilting trains is to allow for faster cornering speeds than regular trains. This reduces travel time without the need to build new high-speed lines or heavily modifying existing tracks. Just compare a regular train to a car and a tilting train to a motorbike. Cornering fast in a car is possible, but wears the tires faster, is more dangerous than ordinary driving and the lateral forces are unpleasant to the passengers. On a motorbike, it is normal to lay into curves, which results in a little bit more pressure into the direction of seating, instead of lateral forces. Tilting trains are usually lighter than regular trains and the center of mass moves into the curve while tilting, reducing stress onto its own wheels and the infrastructure when compared to the same speed without tilting. But it is a fact that the higher speeds do cause more wear, even if it is reduced by the tilting motion. Everything comes at a price after all...
Our ICN takes us from Zurich to Biel, where it will be driven further to Lausanne by a colleague. It runs with a braking ratio of 180%, which is the highest of all trains in Switzerland. Most regular passenger trains run with 135 or 150%, cargo trains can be as low as 50%. The higher the number, the better a trains brakes are compared to its weight and the faster it can come to a stop. To show you the differences in speed between tilting trains and regular trains, the speeds will be displayed in the upper right corner, if applicable. If no speed is shown, tilting trains are not allowed to go faster than regular trains.
As always, sit back, enjoy and don't miss the action! The tilting motion is clearly visible at speeds above 60km/h. No worries: Most passengers are perfectly fine with the ICN! There are very few that get motion sick, since the ICNs tilting system does it's job very quick and precise, resulting in a smooth ride.

Man erkennt unschwer, dass die Schweiz ein wohlhabendes Land ist und......ein Bahnland. Es sind keine Rückbauten von Bahnanlagen zu sehen, wie in Deutschland und Frankreich. Auch kleinere Städte haben viele Abstell- und Rangiergleise. Vorbildlich für andere Staaten in Europa, wenn man denn will. Danke für das informative Video.
On my journey from Zurich to Lausanne I was intrigued to hear the language order of announcements change, at Biel, from German to French. The train I was on also had a noticeable tilting action, in 2001. Thanks for another great trip.
That's an interesting moment 28:14, a train approaching on the same track, then you realise that, fortunately, you're both turning off to the right.
And another very fine ride. Lots to see during the journey. Thanks for the video!
Tolles Video, die langen Intercity Fahrten mit wenig Halts mag ich immer am liebsten!
I took exactly this train, Graf Zeppelin, on my first SBB ride from Zurich airport to Lausanne. Sweet memories... Thanks!
fantastic journey so early on a clear morning! So they have trained you on the pendolino! Lovely quality video. Well done.
Another fantastic vídeo! A big thank you from Portugal!
Wonderful video. What a beautiful train and countryside. I just wish we had rail servide like this in the United States. Unfortunatlly we do not! Your video(s) make me feel as if I was actually there. Thank you for this recent post, keep up the great work. You are so appreciated by me! usmale49 in Denver, Colorado
Encore une excellente vidéo. Merci et sincères salutations.
Vielen Dank für das super tolle Video
Danke vielmals für die schöne Mitfahrt - und das noch bei so einem Bilderbuchwetter!
Beautiful video quality! Big thanks from New York.
Wieder eine beruhigende Mitfahrt. Klasse😊😁😊
Lovely video. I travelled in the opposite direction from Lausanne to Olten on the same train, just 2 weeks before the world gradually was put in lockdown. I really miss Switzerland right now, especially when watching videos like this one :) Stay safe and thanks for keep on sharing those great Swiss train rides. Greetings from a fellow railway employee from the Netherlands :)
Thanks for the great ride.

I'm looking forward to it !
Great journey, made my day and lifted my spirits
Thank you for sharing this great trip through your lovely country , most repressive .
Very interesting and different video for a change. The real fun is those few sharp curves where other trains are cleared for 80-90 and you are doing 115-120 kmph. Judging from your stop position, I guess there were 2 units coupled together. It reminds me of the time I travelled in an ICN in 2011 from Zurich to Lugano, that time it was across the Gotthard pass. A couple of members in my family did feel a bit sick due to the tilting, but I personally enjoyed it. :D Thank you for sharing this!
Great video train, thanks from Buenos Aires.
Dieses Video habe ich mir zum Dessert aufgehoben - die IC5-Linie ist meine absolute SBB-Favoriten-Linie: St. Gallen - Zürich - Olten - Biel - Lausanne (5-10 x pro Jahr). Und das alles wie im Flugzeug - tolles Video, die Neigung des Zuges kommt sehr gut zur Geltung - Gratulation und ein weiteres Mal: herzlichen Dank für Deine Arbeit!
Werter Herr! Wieder eine beruhigende Mitfahrt. Klasse😊😁😊 Herzliche Grüße aus Österreich!

C'est super sympa à regarder, c'est top les vidéos cabine, on s'y croirait dans le train ! 👍🚄🚂🚂🚄🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭😍
Prima Video, wie immer-Danke für´s hochladen! Bei 28:20 die Situation mit dem entgegenkommenden und dann noch abbiegenden 460 geführten Zug ist schon speziell, wenn man das so im Video sieht.
Thank you for a most interesting trip a great train and thank you for sharing .
Looking forward for the video - still remember the very hard brake (harder than Stadler Flirt 1st batch) of ICN sets entered in Neuchatel north bound to Biel many years ago - but it’s pretty stable in Gotthard arm
Exciting. Cannot wait until this live event happens.
loved the ride thks for sharing
Yay endlich Zeit für einen ICN :)
wow sehr tolle Mitfahrt👍😊🌸
That green mirror glass tower block just as you come over the flyover at 1:56 is very interesting. Fascinating overhead view of the complex of yards and sidings outside Zürich.
This was a fun ride! I watched at 2x speed. Even better!
Awesome 👏
My daily commute Zurich-Solothurn, but always with a 'side-ways view'... its now 8 weeks since I was on the IC5 and I am looking forward to ride it again this week.
WOW! Cooles Video!
Another awesome video, thank you. I am from Canada and am impressed by your trains and your beautiful country. Clean fast trains, beautiful stations and scenery. It is a bit like the aliens have swallowed up all the people as normally stations are packed with people. Keep the great videos coming and be safe.

I travel this stretch 40-50 times a year though not once since February 2020. The unusual lack of human activity you see is largely due to the lock-down - for I'm almost certain this video was shot in the past few weeks... Curiously enough there was no radical reduction in train traffic - this IC5 continues uninterrupted service in both directions once every hour...
Bello, bello, bello, bello !

Interestingly the British APT made susceptible people motion sick because the tilt system worked too well. It was so smooth when tilting passengers did not notice the movement but then what they could see happening did not match what they were feeling. The key to solving the problem was to tilt half a degree less than the optimum for each curve so the passengers can feel something. Half a degree is just enough to stop the motion sickness. I believe all tilting trains do this these days.

@@petercallomon9681 It had its faults, but it's hard to call the train that basically laid the ground-work for all future tilting trains an unmitigated disaster. It was too advanced for it's own good, people tend to forget that. It's just a shame that, like with so many things, the Brits were close to pulling off an incredible technological innovation, but failed on the home-straight, so due to their self-loathing press they don't get any of the credit. Actually, the very first (though a lot less developed) tilting train was developed by Talgo here in Spain, but today it's the Italians (FIAT) that end up getting all the credit for making marketable version of a tilting train with their "pendolino" series. Still, hats off for finishing what engineers in Spain, Japan and Britain all failed to complete...

The RABDe 500 does not use a fixed tilt, instead it has an electronic control system that calculates the optimum tilt angle at all times (based on a gyro in the leading bogie).

Anche questo e bello
This was the first time I got involved with the premiere and the limited-time aftershow - it's a winning formula that really makes the most of the event - thanks for answering my questions on the day. There's one thing that only just hit me and it's been in front of my face all along : because the fast tracks go through Altstetten on the North side, the opportunity to shunt in and out of Swissmill is limited - what window is allowed for this in the regular interval timetable? Thanks again for everything \m/

They have no trouble to get wagons in and out, since there's a little freight yard to "buffer" the Swissmill traffic. However I do not operate their trains, so I don't know when they arrive or leave. There's generally always some space to squeeze a train in, either after all intercity and local services, or easily during the night

I like the humming sound of that particular train. Sounds like the train plays a flute or violine. I'm just a bit disappointed that you were on that IC5 that stops in Oensingen and doesn't speed at 200 km/h between Rothrist and Wanzwil overtaking the IR37 on the way.

Nice video! What a lovely sound the ICN makes! It reminds me a little of our Renfe 102 series trains, but those are a lot higher-pitched I think. Also, it's interesting how the train appears to wobble around a little more than "standard" trains. Maybe that's also result of the tilting mechanism? Greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Not directly the tilting mechanism, but the way the center of the body is mounted to the bogies makes it feel a litle bit different.

Hi ! Very interesting video, as always. A question please : with this tilting train, how many minutes do you save on the Zurich - Biel route ?
@RailwayEmotions

There are no such numbers, because the timetable was made specifically for tilting trains. Small delays can quickly grow bigger, specially when a slot on the tracks is lost.

Bei diesen Kurvenradien hätte ich bei gleicher Geschwindigkeit mit dem Töff auch nicht mehr Schräglage. Ab 36 Grad Neigung schleifen ohnehin die Trittbretter. 😀
Super Mitfahrt, vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Woher weiß der Triebfahrzeugführer, welche Geschwindigkeit er fahren darf ? An manchen Stellen sind die Signaltafeln mit den unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten ja zu sehen, aber an anderen Stellen konnte ich bei Änderung der Geschwindigkeit keine Hinweise erkennen. Erscheint das dann auf seinem Display ? Auf jeden Fall weiter so und Daumen gaaaanz weit nach oben 😄

Does the tilting train alter your driving of the train ?
is the speed through Aarau 160 km/h? Despite the engineering work going on on the adjacent line?

Since there are no regular trains on this exact route, I can't tell. But when the tilting mechanism fails, the do accumulate quite some delay over the whole run. It's not much, but a minute here, a minute there already makes a difference of 10, 15 minutes overall.
I have a question: how does the train know when to tilt? It has sensors or is it programmed before hand?
