★ 🇨🇭Cab ride Luzern - Wolhusen - Langenthal - Basel, Switzerland

Today's trip is somewhat special. It's not often that a freight train enters a terminus station, especially with half a million litres of ethanol. The alternative route (which we will be taking to Basel) however, does not allow trains over 1100 metric tons, likely due to it's inclines and older infrastructure.
The trip started in Basel, following the main line to Olten and Lucerne, where the train needs to change directions to reach it's destination, Schachen. Alternatively, a direction change can be made in Gütsch, is however unfeesable due to high traffic. The change in direction requires a locomotive at each end of the train.
In Schachen, the train is delivered and the locomotives continue back to Basel along a less frequently used line via Wolhusen and Langenthal.

Very nice video, Lorirocks. Enjoyed the first hour's single-track operations with passing sidings at the stations permitting meets with oncoming traffic. Absolutely loved the close quarters when running through the suburban "backyards" in these same towns. One question: any idea as to the purpose of the stone-and-earthen berm on the left at 0:27:50? Seems a bit unusual to me that someone was concerned with erecting a barrier along the railway's right-of-way at this point given the openness found everywhere else. Thanks again for another fine presentation.

If you don't mind me asking what type of camera equipment are you using? Even the furthest point on the horizon looks true to the eye and your image quality remains the best I have seen. The rain was a nice change of pace and, the variety of wet surfaces enhanced the feeling of being there. Thanks again!

Bom dia Pernambuco Brasil

[@dixiedean1955]

At around 9.00 minutes the locos seem to be going quite slow, is this because they were struggling with the weight or due to a restrictive signal (the yellow in the tunnel), and also from 19.00?

[@danderg3278]

Exactly. The signal in the tunnel showing two orange lights next to each other means expect stop at the next signal. However while he was approaching the next signal it switched from red to green in the meantime. The situation at 19:00 is a little different: The distant signal at 17:52 shows expect 60 km/h, which corresponds to the main signal at 20:00 showing 60 km/h (two green lights above each other) and expect stop at the next signal (distant signal below the main signal, again showing two orange lights next to each other). The main signal at 22:00 then finally showed stop as announced. If you want some more detailed information on how the signalling system works in Switzerland, I can highly recommend the Wikipedia article about it. But as you may have noticed, the speed in the last section mentioned was below 60 km/h anyway, this was probably because he knew that Schachen is the terminus of this train and he had to stop anyway. So there is no need to accelerate again if you know that you have to stop in a few kilometers and you're carrying a heavy freight train. Of course that's another story with light weight EMU's and if you have a tight time table to stay in.

1042

[@thomasnovacek4686]

This locomotive is a 1042.0 and has 3200 HP. The ÖBB locomotive series 1142 originated from the conversion of the 1042.5 and has 4000 HP, whereby only the locomotives with the thristor resistance brake were converted, but which were not sold in Switzerland. The 1144 series has 5400 kW (7340 hp) and was created by converting the 1044.0 and 1044.2 series of the ÖBB. In Austria there are some 1042 (1042.0 and 1042.5) in museum holdings and as primary systems but are not ready for use. 1142 and 1144 are still used in the plan service. In addition, 1042.5 and 1142 were sold to Germany, and 1142 to Hectorrail ...

Why does the train needs to go to Lucerne when it's passing it's starting point anyway (Schachen @20:27) Can't it just start from there to go to it's destination?

[@dixiedean1955]

I think it has come from Basle via the main line to Lucerne (due to its weight being too great for the secondary line), where it reversed, and went forward to the terminal. Then the 2 locos returned to Basle by continuing along the secondary line rather than returning via Lucerne.

[@theydonothing1]

Is the ethanol added to gasoline in Switzerland like it is here in the U.S.?

[@praeceptor]

Well, I'm not Swiss, neither, so let's do some outsider guessing together... The only operational oil refinery in Switzerland is to be found in the canton of Neuenburg, far west from Schachen, the freight's destination. As we got informed, the railcars go to a company named Alcosuisse, and on their website they describe their business as quoted: "Swiss-quality ethanol for any and every purpose: whether as an ingredient in pharmaceutical or cosmetic products, as a basis for industrial processes, in the production of beverages containing alcohol or in university research, alcosuisse is the Swiss supplier of ethanol, providing you with the grade exactly tailored to your specific needs."

[@davidpenney4171]

@@praeceptor Paul Bislin, a Swiss train driver answered that stations in Switzerland have from 5-7 types of fuel at the pumps. Only 95-octane lead-free has ethanol added, so I presume ethanol is used for other purposes in Switzerland besides motor fuel.
