🚆 4K Highspeed train cab ride into the Swiss Alps! (Switzerland | ICE (Hamburg -) Zurich - Chur)

[@vettebecker1]

Nice trip, awesome to have an office with a view like this!!!

Such a beautiful country really enjoyed seeing the snow covered mountains. Greetings from Connecticut USA 🇺🇸

[@mikeythesoulace]

NYC resident who made this trip recently (though not on the ICE 4) It is even more beautiful to ride into the Alps in person!

[@BlackHoleSpain]

For us spaniards, it's completely unbelievable that a High Speed train runs on conventional lines through small villages of 5000 people or even less with houses 10 metres from the rails! Our HSR lines are newly built 25 kV lines that run through empty wilderness many km outside any big population, until they reach their destinations. That's why rarely go slower than 250 km/h.

[@diegomatamoros3940]

Exactly here in Spain we forget about conventional lines in support for high speed sadly

Danke!

Vielen Dank! Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat!

Die ruhige Fahrt im ICE4 durch die Schweizer Landschaft ist ein Genuss. Bin die Strecke mehrfach gefahren - mit Blick aus Seitenfenstern. Der Blick nach vorne ist toll. Danke für ein wieder einmal großartiges Video! Grüße vom Niederrhein 🙋‍♂️

Wie immer, ein Dankeschön fürs Mitfahren, liebe Eidgenossen. Wieder ein klasse Video. Gruß vom Fahrdienstleiter Hans aus dem Mühlviertel in Oberösterreich. 🍻🇦🇹

[@gabriellen.2886]

Wonderful views! It was interesting to see how the train traveled from bare ground, to snow, and back to bare ground. Sun exposure, wind, and elevation, no doubt.

[@Philip02K]

The higher the elevations, you expect snow because of lower temperatures. As you go to lower altitudes, the sun provides radiational heating this it falls as rain.

[@gabriellen.2886]

@@Philip02K Yes, of course.

Eine sehr tolle Strecke bin die Strecke mit dem ICE 1271 ab Hamburg bis nach Chur gefahren und mit dem ICE 70 wieder zurück und das war wirklich sehr toll vor allem dem Zürichsee und den Walensee

Wieder einmal mehr ein prima Video! Der ICE 4 fährt ja schon relativ ruhig, bis auf Weichenüberfahrten. Bin zuletzt Köln-Hamburg-Köln im jeweils ersten Wagen gefahren. Da hatte ich den Eindruck, dass die Geräusche (speziell bei Weichen) geringer waren als hier im Führerstand.

[@RailwayEmotions]

Es ist schon ziemlich leise im Zug, umso mehr werden plötzlich auftretende Geräusche wie Weichen auf dem Video lauter aufgenommen als sie in der Realität sind.

Super. Aber ganz schöne Schläge auf den Weichenherzen.

[@douglasengle2704]

Thank you for the video. This is an "express" train rather than a high speed train. It skips many passenger stations, but its track speed limit is frequently shown to be a slow 90 kph. High speed would be 200 kph and higher. Even the fastest sections only appear to be around 160 kph. In many situations the train is running at the same speed as automotive traffic on the nearby roads, which are not high speed roadways. The alignment appears to be able to except much higher speeds, but they are not implemented.

[@RailwayEmotions]

Even if some parts are comparatively slow on this trip, the train is still considered a high speed train, capable of doing 265km/h.

[@RobbertsTravelGuides]

[@officialmcdeath]

Yes it has been a while - reckon the last time you took us this way was with the Red Bull Train. So much is new since then - Twindexx and Traverso are making their mark - it was very refreshing to see the 420 lined up with a tourist extra in Chur. What with all the unit trains (Giruno as well) coming in, what is the future for re460 and IC2000/2020 stock? Will some of the double-deck vehicles replace EW IV on IR services? How much longer are those vehicles expected to serve? Thanks so much for sharing your passion with us \m/

[@RailwayEmotions]

They are staying for at least the next 20 years. I don't know what the plans are, but right now, they are the backbone of long distance traffic.

[@Marisolita_95]

Hello 💜 Now that was a beautiful ride you offered us! I read your caption and I assume that Switzerland and Germany have been cooperating for quite some time on the operation of trains. Do you know how long that cooperation between Switzerland and Germany has taken? I remember when I took the train from Hanover to Turin, and I had to change the train in Basel. Then, after that the train went straight to Turin. It was a particularly beautiful trip, esp crossing the Alps. I read somewhere that the Swiss are the most outdoor people in the world. I don't doubt it at all, the scenery in Switzerland is like straight from heaven. Thanks for filming & showing us this beautiful video. ¡Lo aprecio mucho! Greetings from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (where we have zero railways lol). All the best to you ❤️ Te mando un abrazo! Hasta luego! 👋

If I'm not mistaken it's about 30 years now that the ICE runs in Switzerland.

[@remitambo1502]

Wonderful route with a good train! I love your videos. Is it planned that you will make a video in the region of Geneva (Léman Express) or Lucerne (S-Bahn) ?

[@grahamnancledra7036]

I love your video's and your descriptions and your presentations. They give me many hours of enjoyment as I am so far from your beautiful, handsome and wonderful nation. However, my German is very basic and when I see the word "Doors Closing" I'm pleased and when I look at a translator and I see the words "Türen schließen" which is not remotely close to the announcement we hear, then I become confused. I also hear many other announcements from the cab - BRAVO ! For we non German speakers or those who are really struggling to learn. Can you make a dictionary of the phrases when hear announced in the cab? I realise and appreciate that I may be asking for a lot of work from you, but, it would really enhance our enjoyment of the truly magnificent videos. I can foresee you throwing your hands in the air and asking yourself "What else do these people want!" 😘 It's only a request, not a demand 😘 if a dictionary is not possible then it's fine by me. Thanks for your consideration. Maybe someone else will be kind-hearted enough to try. I'm a long way from Europe in a large Island nation with no railways (Papua New Guinea) and your efforts are really appreciated.

[@RailwayEmotions]

It's the only train that talks in these cab rides, so it's quite simple. "Schliessvorgang eingeleitet" (doors closing), "SIFA" (vigilance system) and sometimes "Störung" (disturbance or malfunction), that's it already.

[@grahamnancledra7036]

@@RailwayEmotions Thank you - you have improved my German language knowledge - slightly. 😎

[@IroAppe]

@@grahamnancledra7036 To be fair that's not normal German language, as people use it when they talk to each other. Train messages often are more cryptic, "Schließvorgang eingeleitet" means "closing process initiated". Now that I've translated it, it kinda sounds like it could be from a spaceship in Star Trek or something :D

[@TheSimArchitect]

I guess you can't conduct a train if you're colorblind over there. I can see the color difference but not clearly at some of those lights... 😟

[@RailwayEmotions]

Colour blindness is an instant fail in the medical checks, it's very important.

[@TheSimArchitect]

@@RailwayEmotions Ah! Makes sense. It's a shame they didn't make signals colorblind friendly, though, since a good percentage of the population that has color blindness could be suitable for this job otherwise. 😬

[@zoqaeski]

Are there any plans to duplicate the short single track section between Mühlehorn and Murg? That short tunnel must be a bottleneck during busy periods.

[@RailwayEmotions]

Plans probably yes, but as you might have seen there's no easy way to put another track in that very narrow section. It works fine and rarely causes problems, but it is the weakest link in the chain. Fun fact, it is the only single track section between Hamburg and Chur.

[@Gamerundnaturfreundamstart123]

[@chrisbillington3341]

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question. Why is there a sound when the front car goes over a switch point? I haven't noticed this on any other train service.

[@RailwayEmotions]

Give me an example of what you mean with a timestamp, because I don't know what you mean.

[@chrisbillington3341]

Just after the exit from the tunnel at 7.57 there are switch points where there is this mystery sound and accompanying vibration just as an example. It seems to me to happen in the videos featuring and ICE train. SBB trains don't seem to have this 'thing' occuring.

[@RailwayEmotions]

That is just the sound the air suspension makes when it works. I don't know why it sounds like that, but it's unique to the ICE.
