Extremely well maintained tracks and trains. It looks perfect, so trains can run at high speed for a narrow gauge. All crossings are protected with lights and gates. It looks so good.

[@ЛеонидМакаров-п1р]

Обожаю движение поезда! Даже запах топлива чувствую, шум колёс и вздохи двигателя - я. Еду , я в пути, гляжу во все глаза, впитываю все то, что вижу! Внутри радость от движения и и полёта фантазии - что там впереди? Каждый раз я хочу там находиться, жить среди этих людей, дышать с ними одним воздухом! Круто! Удачи тебе машинист! Я слежу за твоей работой!🤩👍

The train rides that seem to go right through the middle of small towns and in people's backyards are great to watch. The Switzerland scenery is always great to view. Thanks for this great ride in a part of the world that I will never see in real life.

[@agnaryanuar2906]

I think this 750 mm gauge is more beautiful than the standard one, its unique & efficient. Its really beautiful to see the rail in rural areas. I really love that

[@teddynielsen]

I really liked watching that. Danke.

[@barrythomas9571]

I really enjoy these rides that run so close to the roads, brilliant, thanks.

[@lorirocks777]

Glad you like them =) The other direction will also come eventually.

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

Indeed the railroad does run too close the roads. I just hate to think that an out of control car might swerve right in the path of an oncoming train. That's scary! 😨

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

One of the appeals narrow-gauge railways hold (for me) is their ability to "shoehorn" into places that would be near impossible for a standard-gauge line. Here, there is the added bonus of extensive in-the-street/side-of-the-road operating so reminiscent of the trolley/interurban routes that once ran throughout rural America a century ago. (Today's nanny-staters here in the U.S. would be absolutely apoplectic over how "openly and inherently dangerous this operation is to pedestrian and automobile traffic alike.") I don't know why, but when Swiss railways come to mind this is the sort of thing I envision. Well done, Lorirocks, well done.

[@lorirocks777]

Thanks a lot. Interesting hearing about the American trolley's!

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

@Dr Moriarty A rail route map from a century ago for just about any state in the Union would reveal how possible it was for people and merchandise to readily travel from one place to another. Only in the case of a sparcely-populated Nevada would one see a minimum of rail lines. Additionally, states such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa all had extensive interurban systems; places like New York less so but such service did exist. A number of operations were lost when General Motors (manufacturer of buses), Firestone (tires), and Standard Oil (gasoline) conspired to buy up electric railroads (interurban and trolley) and "busitute" service as quickly as possible. Politicians played their part, too. Southern California had arguably the greatest interurban system, Pacific Electric, ever built. Elected officials allowed every foot of track to be torn out, with highways (ones that today are clogged on a daily basis) laid along a number of PE routes. Densely populated Chicago-Milwaukee was served by the CNS&M: it all went to the scrapper after the road quit in 1961. Numerous other examples of transportation short-sightedness exist. Today, not at any level of government (federal/state/city), is there a dedicated plan to promote the most fuel-efficient means for transporting humans and goods: steel wheels turning on steel rails. And yet, "experts" say we must get off of fossil fuels, give up our cars, and...do what? Yes, progress indeed.

[@zoqaeski]

​@@michaela.chmieloski3196 Unfortunately it's less GM/Firestone/Standard Oil conspiracy and more just bad management by interurban companies in a market that is inherently unprofitable. A lot of interurban lines, especially in rural areas, would never have been able to break even, let alone return a profit for their shareholders, and most began to go into receivership by the early 1920s. The Great Depression killed off those that remained: even successful interurbans like Pacific Electric and the Insull Railways (North Shore Line, South Shore Line, and Chicago, Aurora & Elgin) went bankrupt in the early 1930s as revenue dropped. Pacific Electric was closing lines from the mid-1920s onward, and struggled to fund improvements that would've reduced congestion; originally the Los Angeles freeways were built with space in the medians for electric railways, but these were never utilised and have since been taken over by yet more lanes for cars. Americans have always been averse to paying the higher taxes that would be necessary to fund local infrastructure, and American governments (of both sides) have always been pro-business. Without extensive investment and public ownership, the interurbans never stood a chance. After WWII the focus shifted to the automobile, and at every level of government there was a push towards the suburbs, with the Interstate Highway System being developed as the biggest public works program in the nation's history. Meanwhile the railroads remained privately-owned, with regulations that limited how they could set rates, and taxation disincentives to upgrade their infrastructure (and it didn't help that the taxes paid by the railroads directly funded airports and highways).

[@spiderous]

In Poland we have slower trains on more open routes. The main reason is (apparently) high chance of collision with road vehicles on level crossings so why is it working in Switzerland so flawlessly?

[@kristinajendesen7111]

@@spiderous Just have to teach car & lorry drivers common sense. A lot of our 🇬🇧 level crossings are half barrier with up to 85mph/138kph line speed. It's very rare for an accident in the UK. In 31 years I never came close to hitting anybody. Now America, where many motorists are really stupid, they have accidents almost daily at a much lower speed.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Another great video! Glad to see this line before its changed!

[@PrestonLPR]

Thank you for posting this video. The line holds fond memories. In summer 1981, my family and I were visiting Switzerland on holiday. My father phoned my school to find out the results of my school exams. The grades were good enough that I met the demands required to study at university. (The English system at the time was that the university would offer a place on condition that a student achieved certain grades.) To celebrate, we went on a little excursion from Basel St. Jakob, where we were staying, to Waldenburg. My parents even bought me a little souvenir plate as a memento, which I still have. The Waldenburgerbahnli has a place in my heart.

[@joeclooney1997]

Why would they get rid of this, awesome piece of working history

[@blackadder4590]

They do not get rid of this, they go to change the narrow gauge into normal gauge!

[@ericjamieson]

They're just going to re-gauge it to metre gauge. 750 mm is a really uncommon gauge and so all the rolling stock is bespoke, driving up the price. But if it was metre gauge you could just run e.g. regular Zurich tram equipment on it.

[@UltimateAlgorithm]

@@ericjamieson are they going for 1000 mm or 1067 mm?

[@ericjamieson]

@@UltimateAlgorithm 1000 mm is pretty common in Switzerland, both for alpine railways and also for trams. I don't think they would go for 1067 as that's not common at all there - I'm not aware of any Swiss railway that uses that gauge.

This is very interesting Lori. I had no idea that BLT was the owner and BVB was the operator! I didn't know that the yellow tram lines were different in that respect. 👍 I've been traveling back and forth to Basel since 2002, visiting 15 times. And I'm still learning things about the city and the land. 👍

[@bardbrenden3619]

We used to have two 750mm railway lines here in Norway too. Sadly we have closed so many railway lines here in Norway. Closed 750mm, 1000mm, 1067mm and 1435mm. If our government really wants people to live in the rural areas (as they proclaim) they would keep railway lines open. As these provide a cheap, efficient mode of transport for people and cargo between the rural areas and the cities.

Lovely pleasant ride through small towns & villagers, but the end is coming for this 750mm gauge line before its conversion to a 1000mm and larger trains. I wonder if the "neighbours to the line" will appreciate more noise and the closeness of the trains to their properties is going to be?

There shouldn’t be much difference; these trains are very similar to the ones on the metre gauge anyway, and, being newer, should be quieter.
