★ 4K 🇨🇭St. Margrethen - Buchs - Sargans cab ride Switzerland [01.2023] Führerstandsmitfahrt Rheintal

We've been to St Margrethen before and also passed through Sargans. Today we're taking a line connecting the two, along the border Switzerland shares with Austria and Lichtenstein, which is defined by the river Rhein. In Switzerland it is known as the Rheintalbahn (Rhein valley railway), not be be confused with the Rheintalbahn in Germany (which will also be covered on this channel).
Apart from the section between Heerbrugg and Oberriet, the land we see to the far left until we reach Rüthi belongs to Austria, and from just past Rüthi to Sargans it belongs to Liechtenstein. In a future video, we will travel from Buchs through Liechtenstein and on to Feldkirch in Austria.
The line is currently closed (February - October 2023) due to construction of a second track in certain sections to allow for an increased frequency of passenger services. Furthermore, a few stops that were closed over the years are to be renewed and reactivated, as labelled throughout the video. This is one of the reasons we love documenting railways in this way - when everything has been changed and looks different, we still have something to look back on.

Wieder ein schönes Video und von verwackelten Aufnahmen habe ich nichts bemerkt. Danke für's Mitnehmen☺🍀

[@AndreiTupolev]

Always nice to see a line that fills in another gap in the network!

[@kenyongray2615]

This was a great ride. The train was slow enough where you could see things clearly. This was what I would call a workman's ride. A lot of time going through "business districts" as we called them in the small town where I grew up. It was great. Some great mountains and water. Thanks for showing me a part of the world that I will never see in real life.

Danke Team !! Lovely and climax with snowy desert of sargans😀

[@locomotion3656]

Gorgeous scenery

[@SergeyBakhtamov]

An interesting rock tooth on the array in the right part at 29:30... In general, the nature of the outlines of the mountains are very similar to the Caucasus, but somewhat more modest. Beautiful views, despite the gloomy weather.

Great to see stations being brought back to life. That doesn't happen very often. It will be great to see the rejuvenated line. A passenger service would be a great way to show off the "new" line.

[@briancooper562]

It looks like from some of the early bridges under the tracks that a double track had been intended. Also the few over bridges have double track clearance, Problem is the track is built on the flood plain of the Rhine river, which has all sorts of issues for drainage and track support stability. Looks good in the light snow.

[@aviano72]

Another lovely cab ride I was in Switzerland in August and i noticed that line was closed as the line terminated in Altstätten Looking forward to the video trough Lichtenstein. Also I hope you have a video from Geneve to Annemasse 😉

Hallo lorirocks777 - ein tolles Video, welches ja auf seine Art ein Zeitdokument darstellt. Interessant die Infos, dass auf der Strecke alte Stationen reaktiviert werden sollen. Bin mal gespannt, wie die Strecke im November (2023) nach der Sperrung aussieht. Herzlichen Dank und liebe Grüsse - Remo

Another nice one filmed by Paolo. So, Paolo, which freight company you driving for, probably not bls given where this is, maybe SBB Cargo or one of the independent operators. lorirocks777, how about when we are on freight, showing the vmax of the train also since that is usually lower than line vmax.

[@lorirocks777]

Hi. Yes, I always show the speeds according to what the train is allowed, in this case a single locomotive, which can travel 140 km/h but didn't in order to save power due to the predetermined crossings with other trains. As mentioned in the video, low speed was maintained in response to automated speed suggestions from the dispatchers.

[@rninrvr]

@@lorirocks777 thanks for this reply. I didn't realize that this was a light loco move, so do understand its ability to do the 140 max.

[@dellacapaolo]

I work for a lot of companies. You can find me around in Switzerland ;)

[@HopStepJunk]

I always look forward to watching the videos. By the way, the Re420 electric locomotive at 5:59 seems to be equipped with an automatic coupling. This is the first time I've seen this other than on a replacement locomotive.

[@lorirocks777]

Yes, they are being trialled on a number of them.

[@gerdvomhau4499]

Also die Aufnahmen waren für mich ok, hab so gut wie keine Wackler festgestellt. Allerding gehört die 185 mal auf eine Unterflurdrehbank bei dem "Bremsplatten" 😀👍

[@ylilin]

@lorirocks777 The Cameras until now were perfect. Second only to the ones used by RailCowGirl. Keep the old one!

[@rodhard688]

Thanks, would be nice to know when the video was shot.

[@dellacapaolo]

It's already on the title 😅

[@paolopetronio8260]

Ottimo video, come tutti quelli a firma "Paolo". Però, discorso generale, le velocità indicate spesso non solo corrispondono alle tabelle di velocitè della linea ma nemmeno alla effettiva velocitè del treno, sarebbe importante indicare questa. inoltre gli indicatoti di pendennza sono in alto e appaiono poco tempo, in alto a destra generalmente non si guarda, si guarda in basso, sarebbe meglio spostali oppure mantenerli fissi e non solo pochi attimi.

[@dellacapaolo]

Va bene grazie degli input. Ne discuterò con Lorirocks777. Le velocità massime però dovrebbero essere giuste. Quelle effettive ovviamente no. Saluti

[@FlorianBoyd]

Enjoyed the video as always. The camera movement didn't bother me. Is it a problem with the mount or something internal to the camera?

[@lorirocks777]

Thank you! Yes, it was a mounting problem. We have a better solution now.

[@officialmcdeath]

Thanks for sharing the 'before' - looking forward to the 'after' now - rolling at reduced speed was good, not least for the reduced impact of the flat wheel - hope that was put on a lathe soon afterwards - hearing the power electronics reminds me we haven't heard you driving an Austrian Tonleiter Taurus yet, will we hear that on the Liechtenstein clip? Thanks again \m/

[@lorirocks777]

I don't have any Taurus recordings in Austria yet, I do however have a few from Switzerland and Germany. This is the only one I have released so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6ndi3ydbLhooKc The audio here is actually from another video due to conversation, so the flat was on another locomotive. It's also the reason it took an extra week to release. Thanks for your comments!

[@officialmcdeath]

@@lorirocks777 thanks, I seem to have watched that one before (I had given it a like) but forgot - so I watched it again just now and you can definitely hear the 'tune' at low speed, definitely worth the time invested in a rewatch - looking forward to yet more characterful clips from you and your team \m/

[@trainbloke5091]

Thanks for the video. A couple of questions: does the loco have a wheel flat, and why does it occasionally sound like Darth Vader is driving? 😊

[@lodewijkbezemer1332]

Ich habe dieser Film mit Freude angeguckt und muss schon sagen nichts von Schwierigkeiten der Kamera bemerkt da ich auf ein 42 LG 4K Fernseher mir das angeschaut habe. Ich habe bloss eine Frage ist man mit Level-1 ETCS gefahren? Die Lokomotive hatte einige Flachstellen denn das war nicht zu uerberhoeren. Liebe Guruesse aus Holland von Ludwig.

[@dellacapaolo]

Danke! Es freut uns! Nein Level 0. Grüsse!

[@lorirocks777]

Aktuell fahren die meisten Züge noch mit ZUB & Signum. Züge mit ETCS Baseline 3 können mit Level 1 Ls fahren, das betrifft u.A. aktuell die neuste Flirts, Giruno, Traverso & einige Vectrons.

[@jaycfc6955]

Hello What do the white boxes in the top right corner indicate ? In the description at the start it referred to inclines and descents but at around 14:50 the number changed from 8 to 3 then up to 5 then to level in the space of 15/20 seconds while the train was running on what looked like flat ground. Thanks

[@lorirocks777]

Yes, the numbers are values in promille (1/10 of a %). If you look closely, you can see the signs as we pass them.

Bonjour à toute l'équipe, j'ai une petite question on entend souvent le mot ziva pendant le voyage qu'est ce que cela signifie? Vos vidéos son très belle, bonne continuation.

It was a German built locomotive as pictured at the start leased to a Swiss operator.

Loco or one of the first cars with a "flat" spot on the weels?

In the audio recording, yes.

Qu'entends-tu par "Ziva" ?

[@gerdvomhau4499]

SIFA means an control mecanism to check that the driver is alive. He has to press and release an switch within several seconds. If he do this NOT, first he get a message and he can react, if he does'nt react the loco gets into an emergency break and stop the train

[@user-cy4co5cz7q]

Could someone please translate the cab commands heard on the show? One sounds like zefa, and the other sounds like soup time or something like that. Sorry, only speak English.

[@lorirocks777]

Sifa requires a response from the driver to prove consciousness. "Störung" means there's some sort of problem, which is usually no real problem at all.
