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.
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
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...
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.
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!
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).
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!
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.
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 :)
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.
Wir Hobbybahn Profis ---- Meistens geniessen wir die Fahrt mit dem ICN im Restaurant mit einem Inbiss und manchmal gibts intressante Gespräche mit fremden Leuten.Und hier eben dann noch schöne Aufnahmen vom Führerstand .Bei Schlechtwetter ausruhend vom Bett aus auf Grossmonitor geniessen.Was gibts schöneres?Eisenbahn Doksendungen etc Dank für das schöne Video
Looking at all the trains you met coming the other way and all the local stations you sped through, I was surprised that you did not overtake a single train in this video.
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
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.
06:48 I LOVE these red apartment buildings, and the other partially red-painted buildings a little earlier. Europeans are so much more comfortable with bright colours than our stodgy builders in Canada. LOL
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!
Bei diesen Kurvenradien hätte ich bei gleicher Geschwindigkeit mit dem Töff auch nicht mehr Schräglage. Ab 36 Grad Neigung schleifen ohnehin die Trittbretter. 😀
First text line is German, the second is French. Happens often in quadrilingual Switzerland, particularly when approaching strictly bilingual Biel/Bienne...
I know you're only do Switzerland trains trip but I was wondering if you're next trip could be on the ICE p.s. please if you can do more high-speed trips that would be awesome
Das unterscheidet sich von Zug zu Zug und Strecke recht stark. Ich habe hier daher den Vergleich zwischen Neigezug (N180) und schnellem Reisezug (R150) aufgeführt.
A radio equipped security guard is responsible for the horn signals. From the train they would be too late. (I know, I've had a track construction site right in front of the bedroom for a week...)
Tolle Reise, der Neigeeffekt ist gut zu sehen. Leider ist die Geschwindigkeitsanzeige teilweise schlecht lesbar (dünne weiße Schrift vor blauem Hintergrund )
@@RailwayEmotions Ich habe es mal getestet: statt vom Tablet auf den Fernseher zu streamen, habe ich mir einige Sequenzen direkt auf dem Tablet (10 Zoll ) angesehen, da sieht es besser aus. Danke für den Tipp.
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
There is the italian Eurocity going from Basel to Brig taking the Bern-Olten line and the Lötschberg Base tunnel! For years and years and years I wanted to see this route with this italian eurocity please!!🙏🏻🙏🏻😭😭😭
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 😄
Die Geschwindigkeiten stehen in der zugehörigen Streckentabelle. Die Tafeln kommen nur sporadisch vor und gelten nur für einzelne bzw. einige aufeinanderfolgende Kurven, nie für einen ganzen Streckenabschnitt.
Du hast dir aber auch nur die geraden Strecken rausgesucht. Besonders Gross sind die Unterschiede weiter im Westen oder Osten, also entweder vor Zürich oder nach Biel. 130 statt 95 ist schon ein Unterschied.
Hey! Thank you very much for the video. I'm always waiting for something new from you. Please tell me why at 53:18 minutes after the name of the town of Kerzers there is a cross? Thanks.
I have never travelled in a tilt train, there are none in France. The french railways have focused on high speed lines and train, and neglected secondary intercity lines. I read some comments stating that tilt train were making people sea sick, isn't that a litle exaggerated ?
Most people are fine with tilting trains, like most people are fine with ships. However if it is not engineered and adjusted correctly it can get very uncomfortable, even for those that are not prone to seasickness.
