★ 4K 🇨🇭 Hinwil - Oerlikon - Zürich HB - Affoltern a.A. S14 cab ride [07.2021] Führerstandsmitfahrt

In this video we'll be looking at a number of lines around Zürich served by the S14 commuter service.
If we were to go backwards at the start, we would be on a historical line that has been preserved by the DVZO association, which has its Depot in Bauma. This officially closed would have continued to the left of our track as signalled at the start. I hope one day to be able to document this railway.
We start on the Hinwil - Effretikon railway, which we deviate from at the first station, continuing on the Glatt valley railway to Wallisellen. From there we are on the original line between Winterthur and Zürich from 1855. Most InterCity trains now take the line we merge with in Oerlikon in order to travel via Zürich airport.
In Oerlikon the line splits into 3 different double tracked lines that lead to Zürich. We will be taking the newest and only line that allows an onward journey in a westerly direction beyond Zürich, without a change in direction. It was opened in 2014 and is known as the "Durchmesserlinie" (through line).
The other lines include the original line (middle tunnel) to Zürich via Wipkingen from 1856 and the Käferberg line (far right tunnel) that was opened in 1969 to give freight trains a direct connection to Altstetten and was completed with a connection to Zürich HB via Hardbrücke in 1982.
More to come.

I travel to work on the S14 from AaA to Altstetten. Nice to see what the driver sees. Another great video.

A leisurely wander through the Swiss countryside and towns..... fantastic!!! Thank you Andrea for letting us tag along!!!

Very happy to be traveling with you. It's a nice way to see and experience the world. Thanks so much!

[@davidpanton3192]

I like the signals which show just an arrow as if going backwards were an option...

[@lorirocks777]

They tell you your signal allows passage. They come in handy when it's foggy and you can't see the exit signal.

Belle vidéo ! Merci Andrea pour ce moment d'évasion

[@brucewilliams8714]

At Wetzikon, a marvellous example of the "interconnectibility" of SBB trains. A pause while other trains arrive. I've experienced it at other junctions, and it's outstanding. Thanks for yet another great trip.

[@neilforbes416]

Gotta say though, it was good to see a station like that at Zürich HB with absolutely *NO* ugly advertising plastered over the walls. If you remember Sydney's underground line, you'll know what I mean.

Tolle reise, danke für mitnahmen

[@scottevans2685]

Thank you for yet another beautiful video! I especially liked your little history inserts on some of the regional lines. What really surprised me is how late some of them were electrified, including the Altstetten-Zug line that was the last third of this trip. I was under the impression that all of Switzerland's lines had been electrified by no later than 1930!

[@lorirocks777]

I think Switzerland had steam engines running through to the 60's, but coal shortages during WW II promted electrification of some smaller lines and even the conversion of a few steam locomotives to run under electricity with electric boilers. There are a few pictures of them on google with pantographs.

The greenery looks beautiful, something you don't often see in the USA, the houses look beautiful too. But just like here in the USA the walls having graffiti I guess is worldwide.I was wondering when the train went underground ( subway) like that the train had no headlights, what if the driver needed to see the tracks or know when the driver needed to change tracks?

[@lorirocks777]

Headlights are mandatory in tunnels, the camera is just useless in lowlight situations.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

Great action at Wetzikon's platforms. Way cool! 15:58 The bike path gets its own gated grade crossing. Don't see that every day. 20:46 Freight shunting (I think that's the proper word) at Schwerzenbach ZH. Nice. 33:20 A subway station?! Have we gotten to 14th Street-Union Square yet? 48:22 Anyone know the purpose behind the structure framing the siding on the right as the train approaches Birmensdorf ZH? 49:22 Time lapse where everybody suddenly disappears--except for the guys in orange standing with hands on hips. A common pose assumed by railroad B-and-B workers here in the United States, lol! I noticed the unusual, fractionalized voltage frequency of the catenary power in this and the previous video. Here in the U.S., mainline electric railroads settled on 25Hz as the standard (Modern technology now permits utilization of 60-cycle commercial power.) Can anybody explain the reason behind Switzerland's choice? Thank you, Andrea (whichever one you are) and lorirocks for bringing us a look at local service (on what I take it are commuter lines) through the high-density-population region around Zurich. Well done.

[@lorirocks777]

Thanks for your commentary =) I have a feeling that the strange frequency owes to the motors used at the time for generating power, many of which were at hydroelectric plants.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

@@lorirocks777 You're welcome regarding the commentary. I'm just curious how an operational frequency of 16.7 Hertz got chosen. Not 15 cycles, not 17.5 or 20 Hz, but 16.7. Seems like there must be a good story behind the number.

[@andreasgasser5823]

@@michaela.chmieloski3196 Simple: Commercial frequency 50 Htz, Railway 50/3=16.666 Htz, one third.

[@andreasgasser5823]

48:22: to fill in something from top, may be liquid concrete, an expert should comment also about the exact matter.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

@@andreasgasser5823 Thanks for your reply. Changing operational AC electrical frequency is rather involved so I'm hoping for a little clarification, Andreas. Do you know HOW the railway, back at the time of electrification, executed this "thirding" of the national grid's frequency? I'm not busting your chops, I truly want to know.

Of course, always great videos ... fun to "go along" for a ride! Quick question if you happen to know (estimate): what is the percentage of 1435 mm vs 1000 mm gauge in Switzerland? [Greetings from Tucson]

[@lorirocks777]

Thanks. I'd estimate that 1435mm makes up about 75% of railways

[@AZqyc]

@@lorirocks777 Thanks. I've watched a fair bit of Swiss train videos that are 1000mm, but now that I think about it, they were most always in the mountains where a small gauge would make more sense. Again ... I greatly enjoy your postings ... always so very well done, and fun!
