Cab Ride Chur-Thusis-St. Moritz (Rhaetian Railway, Albula Line - Switzerland) 4K

[@Matz32]

Probably one of the most beautiful and famous railway lines in the world. Not everyone will be able to watch it live, which is why such films are a real gem.

[@RailRelaxation]

@Matz32 Exactly. This is one of the reasons why I film those videos. That people around the world could see all that beauty. As you said, not everyone can go and visit those places.

[@pegallen6983]

I would have loved to do this journey live but I am disabled now and no way on earth is it possible. Videos like these help me see the world from the comfort of my own living room. We are so blessed to be living in a time when this is possible. And to have creators like RailRelaxation to bring them to us

Fantastic video! Truly spectacular! Line often seen from Sankt Moritz, but never in the Chur Sankt Moritz version and especially in winter! The Thusis - Preda route, with its spiral tunnels, deserves to be listed as one of the most beautiful railways in the world! Like the Semmering Line in Austria which you also traveled, I believe that the Rhaetian and Matterhorn Lines are truly lines with breathtaking landscapes! The Alps are not like this for nothing! The Albula Tunnel as well as the Vereina Tunnel from Davos are incredible tunnels. If you consider that between Switzerland and Austria the Alps are pierced by at least a dozen railway tunnels, built with difficulty in the 19th century, this makes us understand even more the importance of these lines. The arrival in Preda but above all in Sankt Moritz is exhilarating, because the tracks disappear in the snow!

[@RailRelaxation]

@wladislaw79 Thank you. It was a wonderful journey. The landscape is breathtaking, snow and the alps, Swiss villages on the way....and the structures on the way to overcome the hard alpine terrain are just ....I have no words to explain this. I can not imagine how hard it was back then to build all those tunnels and viaducts. They are really masterpieces. Thank you again for your attention and comments that I enjoy to read. It feels so good to see that someone really enjoys to travel along.

[@petercallomon9681]

It is listed as a UN world heritage site along with the old Gotthard line that spirals up to Goeschenen.

Hi and thank you for the almost complete route of the glacier Express in 4 parts. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊 A very beautiful and spectacular route. A breathtaking scenic and truly masterful route planning and construction executions back then. Best wishes and have a nice weekend. 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@roadie3124]

Apart from the beauty of the scenery, the quality of the railway engineering is, to me, the most impressive feature of this video. I'm very impressed by the sense and practicality of the Swiss people that (a) they understand that a mix of standard gauge, metre gauge and narrow gauge is such a good mix to meet the needs of the people, (b) they can build railways through beautiful areas without destroying the scenery, (c) they allow railways to be built and upgraded and don't succumb to the bullying of the green bullies and, (d) they are still using bridges and tunnels constructed over 100 years ago.

[@RailRelaxation]

@roadie3124 I agree with you. And because of all this the railway is a very efficient mean of transport and people really use it daily.

[@crompton33022]

Thank you for this wonderful video. I am looking forward to my first visit to this region during June 2024. Best regards Ian, UK 🇬🇧.

It has to change side to allow for tbe platform on the station. If it stayed on left side, probably cargo on standard-gauge line might hit the platform.

Good morning, if it were possible to write RhB with a lowercase h, as RHB is the acronym of the Rorschach-Heiden-Bergbahn, the only railway with mixed adhesion (natural adhesion and rack) whose trains continue for about a kilometer on the SBB line. Thanks again for your attention

[@RailRelaxation]

@Luigi-uj5ml Good morning. I was checking in the description, it is written correct there. And then I remembered that it was probably the text in the video that you are referring to. In the video, the inserts that I use can be just in the capital letters. I can not use the lowercase. I apologise for that.

[@Luigi-uj5ml]

​@@RailRelaxation Exactly, I was referring to the text in the video. In any case, thanks again for your collaboration and for your videos, without a doubt the best ever.

[@RailRelaxation]

@Luigi-uj5ml Thank you.

[@javierguidounicaud6621]

Thank you for this video and for all.infos given. Very nice cab ride in a splendid winter sunny day. Splendid landscapes seen, some very snowy, others less so, even exposed to the sun, in january it should have.more. Appreciated landscapes seen at 1h15, 1h25 to 1h26.55 and all after the Albula tunnel.I suppose the 3 postal containers seen at 1.29.16 should empties, otherwise I don't understand why they are after the only electric machine.

[@RailRelaxation]

@javierguidounicaud6621 Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your observations.

[@pascalgood7941]

The postal containers aren't empty. The reasons why they are behind the locomotive is 1. because of the maneuver in Samedan (Train arrives from St. Moritz, then the railcars with the containers are coupled to the back of the train, then the train leaves in the direction of Chur) and 2. because the railcars aren't equipped with the energy lines for the passenger cars and the cable to control the locomotive from the cab car. Sadly this train only runs like this until the timetable change in december, because the stop time of the St. Moritz - Chur train is being shortened, so the stop time in Samedan isn't long enough to couple the railcars to the back anymore.

[@javierguidounicaud6621]

@pascalgood7941 thank you for all these explanations.

[@briancooper562]

Have the loco/driver trailers got new lighting which illuminates the bottom meter of the tunnel walls or have the walls been painted? Not used or seen in the Albula tunnel. Good safety feature over the older high beams which ever is used.

[@rninrvr]

See you closed the gap to Chur on previous videos. Looking forward to this one.

[@RailRelaxation]

@rninrvr Thanks. Enjoy the journey.

[@pierogiuliano8167]

[@fernandomalinverni8241]

Dear! Your videos are impressive, grateful that you share them. In your opinion, what is the best time of year to do the CHUR - TIRANO route? To go down by filisur and reach the Landwasser viaduct? Do you think it is possible that all this activity can be done in one day? Big hug!

[@RailRelaxation]

@fernandomalinverni8241 Dear Fernando, thank you for your compliments. I think it is possible I one day. You have to start early. There are some tourist services that take you below the Landwasser viaduct. Very impressive too. I do not know where the tour starts and how long it takes. I am sure you can check that info on the internet. About the best time, I am not sure. It depends on you. In the winter time the snowy landscape is beautiful, but you get short days. Summer is great and spring also. You can get a perfect summer day in Tirano, snow on Bernina and a nice spring day in Chur. It depends what you prefer. I hope I helped a bit. I am sure you will have a very nice trip.
