Chemins de fer du Jura - Driver’s Eye View - La Chaux de Fonds to Saignelégier with engine No.E164

[@johannperaus6890]

Hi Tim! Nice return trip and the E 164 does an excellent job👍. The sound is very good. Runs like a Swiss watch👌. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello Hans, the steam engine was fascinating to watch in action, I'd never seen a Mallet locomotive running, it's a clever piece of engineering. Cheers. Tim.

Jadąc pociągiem bardzo dobrze się rozmyśla Łagodnie snują się wspomnienia, wspominki. Łopocą nowe pomysły, rozmywają się w krajobrazie. Pociąg wchodzi w łuk ale myśli właśnie pędzą prosto i bohatersko. Za oknem słodko, spokojnie A twoje ego polatuje wysoko nad codziennością. W pociągu jadącym przed siebie dobrze się rozmyśla. Rozsnuwasz się wzdłuż torów, rozciągasz wzdłuż szyn. Stacyjki jak przecinki , stacje jak kropki. Dziękuję, Tim i pozdrawiam.

Once again, I enjoy another train ride with beautiful scenery, trees and the houses. I have a question, are the towns called villages or towns? Here we call them towns in Australia 🇦🇺. 😊

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello Patty, I've only just found this comment. It is a pretty part of the world and I believe they refer to the smaller communities as villages, often just a few houses, towns are usually a bit bigger, but I'm not sure at what point a village becomes a town, I imagine the distinction is similar to the UK.

From 55:25 to 55:55 was by judging from the shadows a very long stop; over an hour in my opinion. The movement was almost 20 degrees, so the engine driver and the stoker had plenty of time to visit the little boy's room.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

You are very observant. We were stopped for something like an an hour to wait for a suitable path between the much faster electric trains. The crew made the most of the time to prepare their engine for the next leg of the journey and maybe grab a bite to eat.

Gidday Tim. Looks like a nice ride. Are you now based in England or Europe. Seems like a long time ago when you were filming. Kiwi locos. There is a Mallet class locomotive not far from where I live in Brazil. Has no trouble climbing hills. It's part of a railway museum in Santa Catarina Brazil. Check out Cesar Blumenau chanel.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, "yes" it was a nice ride, they also served an excellent dinner on the train. I live in England, my son lives in New Zealand, I last visited at the end of 2019 before Covid stopped international travel, I visited my son most years until 2019, although I am now allowed into New Zealand, it still involves a big financial risk, should I come down with Covid while I'm there. This holiday to Switzerland was my first overseas adventure since Covid restrictions were relaxed, all my previous booked holidays were either cancelled or rescheduled for next year, although I will hopefully be off to Northern Spain to ride the little trains of the Pyrenees in October. I subscribe to Cesar Blumenau's channel, he posts some good stuff, I'll take a look at his channel for videos of the Mallet locomotive at the Santa Catarina railway museum. Best wishes. Tim.

While I fully understand that there are only so many places one can position a x smear on a steam locomotive, I found this on a bit disconcerting, especially at platforms and level crossings. Great video, nonetheless!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, the camera position can make things appear to be closer than they wee in reality. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@neilforbes416]

3:05 Is that *Narrow Gauge* perhaps? I didn't comment on the gauge in your previous videos on this line, but now, with a moment to freeze the image and have a good look at that track, it does look like Narrow Gauge to me.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi Neil, the railway is metre gauge, electrified with overhead catenary rated at 1500 Volts DC. I included this information in the video description, although it is right at the end, the tracks to the right of the picture at 3:05 are standard gauge. I hope you enjoyed the ride.

[@neilforbes416]

@@Timsvideochannel1 I'm about to watch the rest of it now. I went out for a while with my neighbour. 1 Metre, that translates roughly to 3 Ft, 10 inches.. Yep! Narrow Gauge!

[@johannperaus6890]

@@neilforbes416 Hi Neil, normal gauge is 1435mm = 56 1/2 inch, and meter gauge is 39 3/8 inch. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻. I hope you are well 👌.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

@@neilforbes416 You got it.

[@neilforbes416]

@@johannperaus6890 As we generally referred to them in imperial measures, Broad Gauge was 5 ft, 3 inches(Victoria's domestic services run on that track gauge but the trams run on Standard Gauge of 4 ft 8 & a half inches). NSW uses the Standard Gauge and this gauge is also used for interstate and national lines, while Queensland and Western Australia use Narrow Gauge which is approximately 3 Ft, 10 inches.. I'm not sure about South Australia, I think it's Standard Gauge.

[@timc1703]

The first section, through the town, seems completely mad to me. I.e. the fact its going thr wrong way down the road. Presumably its quiet enough that cars can see if there are any other vehicles before they pass the train. It still feels a bit like one of those cases where something is so obviously unsafe that it actually becomes safe because people treat it with extra caution.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, the road section did cause a few people to raise an eyebrow, it's not something you see very often, although there are a number of locations in Switzerland where it does happen. Swiss drivers are used to trams/trains sharing the road and drive accordingly, although it would be interesting to see how a hot blooded, speeding Italian driver would handle the situation 😉.

[@martinmackenny]

@@Timsvideochannel1 I agree with your point Tim. Especially this case, when the train goes against cars on the wrong side, is a demonstration that Swiss drivers are on a different level than others. It seems logical to me, as a driver, when I see a train coming down the road in the opposite direction, that I will not push forward past it at all costs, but keep my distance and follow it slowly so that the oncoming cars can return to their side of the road nicely. And if the train is going in front of me on the right side, I won't forcefully overtake it either. Two minutes of slow driving won't hurt me.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

​@@martinmackenny In the event of a car crashing into a train, the car is always likely to come out second best, which in itself is a good reason for driving with care. Out of interest, do you drive the truck seen in your thumbnail?

[@martinmackenny]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Hello, Tim. No, I don't have a driver's license for such a big boy, only B (up to 3.5t). But I did have a chance at a truck show once to try Kenny's W900 on a closed circuit, three full laps, approx. 2.5 km. Great experience.

Which route did the CP narrow gauge loco run? Was it the Sabor which ran steam until 1986?

[@Timsvideochannel1]

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer. The only information I found on the internet was this and it doesn't really answer your question - CP 0-4+4-0T E 164 (Henschel 7022/1905, 42 tonnes, 390 kW, 1947 ex Minho e Douro No. 404, in use until 1978) was acquired in 1992, restored at Meiningen from 1998 and brought into service on April 19, 1999

Hi, I attached a GoPro camera to one of the hand rails on the locomotive using a GoPro handle bar clamp. At 0:21 you can see the camera fixed to the hand rail at the bottom right hand side of the picture.
