Cabride in Switzerland
Posted by Mario_v on Thursday, January 23, 2014 10:39 AM

Hello all ;

Here's a cab ride I found from a train in Switzerland. It was filmed from an RE460 class locomotive at the point of an IC train. The ride goes from Geneve's airport station thru to Lausanne, and then the Simplon line to Brig, that stays at the entrance of the Simplon tunnel (only the easy part of this last line is seen, since the big grades start in Iselle, and reach 2,5%). One can see that it's a swift moving train, reaching speeds of 140 khmr (160 in short sections), and there's a bunch of trains working on a nicely coordinated schedule. Also some switchers are visible in some stations. Here's the video link :
