★ 4K 🇨🇭Zürich HB - Pfäffikon ZH - Wetzikon cab ride Switzerland [06.2021]

Join us today on a train from Zürich main station into the Zürich highlands. In Effretikon (16:20), we branch off the mainline onto the Kempttalbahn, which was opened to traffic in 1876. Keeping the opening dates of European railways in mind while travelling is often quite mesmerising.
As a railway enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoy lines that show signs of their age. This is one of those lines, with many older catenary masts and ageing bridges. Unfortunately I couldn't find as much information about some of the bridges as I would've liked to include.
This is the first video on this channel in a first generation Zürich S-Bahn train. We find ourselves in the locomotive (Re 450 - the first large series of GTO thyristor locomotives built in Switzerland). The microphone was place in the engine room, which enables us to clearly hear the unique sound the thyristors make. A train consists of a locomotive and 3 double decker carriages, one of which was newly built to enable wheelchair access in accordance with new standards. The carriages that were replaced were formed into peak hour trains, with a pair of specially adapted Re 420 locomotives, as seen at 27:59.

Der Sound der Re 450 gibt mir jedes mal Gänsehaut. Ich liebe sie so sehr xD

[@johnfrank6112]

Thank you. These are the types of calming video's I can watch over and over. I am awaiting your first new winter videos.

[@heinrichgidoschmiede8225]

😀 Von 1981-85 1x die Woche ein Teil der Strecke gefahren, danke fürs mitnehmen, schönes Video

[@herbertbasta3578]

Einfach wunderbar, ein einmaliges Erlebnis durch diese Tunnel zu fahren :-)))

[@sayedart3dmodels275]

The train, track , and the speed of the train are very wonderful ... I congratulate you 🎉🎆and thank you for this beautiful video 💐💚♥💛💙🌴🌼🌺👍🌷😊

[@kenyongray2615]

What a great day for a train ride with all that blue sky. That train had some speed. Interesting seeing the different small towns.

Wow, einfach nur wow... Ich freue mich schon auf ein Video mit dem Sound der Königin der Loks.

[@alexosborne5629]

Marvellous trip!!! Who knew electric motors could sound quite so good ?? Thank you other Andrea for the ride along 👍😁

[@FelicianaDelacruz]

Another terrific video and a huge "Thank You" to The other Andrea as well. I totally enjoyed this trip. (I enjoy them all actually). Keep safe and healthy.

[@lorirocks777]

Thanks so much. Good to know that people also appreciate the "blander" landscapes too =)

[@norbertk.1473]

👍der Sound👍 Sehr interessant. Es fasziniert mich immer wieder, wenn im Getriebe der Lock die Zahnräder "singen". Ebenso beachtenswert hört sich der Elektromotor beim Anfahren und Stehenbleiben an, was für eigenartige Töne da ins Spiel kommen. Es sind Interferenztöne des Elektromotors, agierend mit der, aus der Oberleitung, getakteten Stromfrequenz, so mein Eindruck. Und was mir immer wieder auffällt: Jede Lock klingt anders. Diese schöne Fahrt kommt zu meine Favoriten.

[@javierguidounicaud6621]

Splendid day for to.do this nice and interesting cab ride.Thank you for this.video.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Ah that's one of my favourite Zürich S-bahn lines, a very pretty route. Amusing that with just one change at Wetzikon, you can go from Pfäffikon to Pfäffikon.

[@topdollars2]

Thank you lorirocks777 for uploading this! I was looking for this exact railway line and (what a coincidence!) you just uploaded it ;-) cheers

[@lorirocks777]

😄 So funny. See you on the rails! 🙂

Hallo lorirocks777 und Andrea - eine Super-Idee das Mikrofon im Maschinenraum zu plazieren, so kann man den Sound dieser Lok richtig geniessen! Herzlichen Dank an Euch beide für das tolle Video - Gruss Remo

[@lorirocks777]

Vielen Dank =)

[@manmeetsinghmahajan6183]

[@torstenwinkler1157]

Wieder eine richtig schöne Strecke, die ich noch nicht kannte. Die Aussicht auf die Berge am Ende ist eine prima Erinnerung, langsam den nächsten Schweiz-Urlaub zu planen :-)

[@AndreiTupolev]

Excellent visibility that day, with the mountains rising in the distance towards the end of the journey

[@VlakynaSlovensku]

Very nice cabview!

[@julinhosimoesjr]

A Suiça é simplesmente perfeito e maravilhoso 🇨🇭👏🏻

Fantastisch! Als ob man selbst am Fahrpult sitzt. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

bel lavoro.... come sempre..

[@MultiMatrosik]

Thanks.I watched your new video with great pleasure....Hello from Russia!

[@Fan652w]

Thank you for an absolutely superb video. I am British, and two (very different) things impressed me. Firstly the train was the 17 04 from Zurich Hbf, and judging by the crowds of passengers waiting on the platforms peak hour loadings around Zurich are getting back to pre-covid levels. Not so in Britain! Secondly there, were the large number of connecting buses waiting at both Pfaffikon(Zh) and Wetzikon. Buses timed to connect with trains are very rare in Britain.

[@lorirocks777]

Thanks for sharing those points. I guess we should appreciate those connection more in Switzerland. All forms of public transport are coordinated with each other to achieve an efficient way of travelling. Yes, it's a bit of any oxymoron here. While eating in restaurants with plexiglass dividers and other measures wasn't allowed, cramming into trains was perfectly ok.

[@user-hd8yx3jf7o]

Wow!!Very nice train video.

[@lorirocks777]

Thank you

[@flyhigh6088]

Als Berner war ich Freitag/Samstag in dieser für mich weitgehend unbekannten Gegend und geniesse jetzt dieses Video umso mehr; besonders auch die alten Masten (fehlt nur noch die „windschiefe“ Aufhängung aus den 30er Jahren). Vielen Dank dafür!

[@robertcoleman4861]

Beautiful switzerland.

Amazing country!

[@radekgmyrek9937]

Super film

[@gauthierfrancois926]

Merci à Lorirocks et à l’autre Andrea pour ce merveilleux film Pourquoi nous a t on menti en disant que le Suisse est un pays de montagne? Ce film nous prouve qu’il y a de belles plaines en Suisse, mais heureusement on aperçoit des sommets enneigés vers la fin de la vidéo. Merci pour l’enregistrement du son de la cabine. A celui qui en a l’habitude il est possible de connaître l’état de fonctionnement de l’engin (traction, freinage, accélération, patinage...) tout cela est important pour les conducteurs. Vivement la prochaine vidéo

[@maumaucata]

Ho visto tanti cab ride e senza alcun dubbio la Svizzera è il "paradiso" dei treni. In più, quello che si vede a lato delle line è sempre molto molto bello e non si vedono le brutture tanto presenti ad esempio in Italia. I paesi e le città in Svizzera sono sempre molto belle e curate. Certo, la Svizzera è un paese molto ricco ma anche l'educazione civica e il senso di appartenenza di chi ci vive è necessario per creare e mantenere ciò che si vede.

[@roberts4910]

Super

[@pedromartins4704]

A Suíça é linda !!!

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

2:46 Amazing! This video's time and mine (United States Eastern Daylight) were almost in sync for the evening rush hour trip. A nice way to kick off this otherwise somber and reflective 20th Anniversary weekend. Thank you, "the other Andrea", and you as well, lorirocks. 13:40 Frankly, the purpose behind that expensive-looking flyover escapes me. Don't understand why it couldn't just run into the junction at grade.

[@zoqaeski]

The junction has a flyover to eliminate conflicts between opposing moves. The Swiss railways have much denser traffic than lines in the US; even the Northeast Corridor or the LIRR doesn't come close to how busy Swiss railways are.

[@theydonothing1]

This is part of a very busy commuter network (at least before the single track split off at Effretikon). The airport line which joins at the flyover runs commuter, intercity and international trains. And, yes, the Swiss railways seem to be in love with flyovers, these days.

[@rabde1041]

nice!

[@84musty]

Great view!!! All the best from 🇵🇰 I didn't understand the reason behind switching the track from left to right 13:38

[@lorirocks777]

It's because we're turning right after the next station

[@84musty]

@@lorirocks777 thx...

[@user-vp3gz1hn4b]

Hello, I am from Ukraine! Thank you!

[@officialmcdeath]

Amazing sound, thank you for wiring it that way! Just wondering how long these 1st generation sets will still be around and also, is there a special switch to allow certain doors to stay closed at Effretikon on a 300-metre train? Obviously that ramp at the end of the platform is newer than the original station and leaves no safe room for a platform edge. Thanks again \m/

[@gauthierfrancois926]

Sur la gauche il y a un quai beaucoup plus long qui peut recevoir des trains de 300m

[@officialmcdeath]

@@gauthierfrancois926 ah oui en fait mais il est à noter que celui à droite est marqué pour les trains de 300m même qu'il ne puisse en recevoir \m/

[@leonirreis1691]

Que imajems muito bonitas deste pais

[@briancooper562]

Something of a request for the future. Add a height profile of the route with the map. It is not easy, despite the added gradient info, gauging how far up or down we are going. It is a bit disconcerting coming face to face with Admittedly it was a train length away.

[@PikalaxALT]

15:37 looks like the consider on the right there was washed along with a red sock

[@lizkb5473]

Thanks @Lorirocks777 and ‘The other Andrea’ for a new route to me trip. Looking forward to some winter trips. Have a great week…

[@almamagana2678]

Tengo una duda. Veo tramos en los que solo hay una vía; esta se utiliza para los dos sentidos? Y de ser así, como evitan un accidente? Muchos gracias por el video, simplemente estupendo...

[@jannickcst]

Wieso hat es zwei RE420 Loks an den Wagen? Für die beschleunigung oder ist das doch so eine grosse Last?

[@lorirocks777]

Für die Beschleunigung.

[@thomasmann9216]

Why does the train make that extremely annoying screeching noise when starting up and slowing down?

[@petermolloy6142]

It’s the noise from the electrical equipment on the train, which a lot of people do like to hear. If the sounds disturb you, turn down the volume on your device.
