@@Timsvideochannel1 I can certainly recommend the ride on the electric trains! I have even changed train at Le Noirmont, a quite busy junction. I was very surprised when your steam special ran though Le Noirment without stopping!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

@@Fan652w Our steam train ran like an express, it didn't stop at many stations. I was fascinated by the freight operation, especially the piggy back waggons and two powered baggage/passenger cars used as motive power, is that normal?

[@Fan652w]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Piggy backing of standard gauge waggons is now (2022) rare in Switzerland, as is the use of passenger cars to haul freight trains. Most of the shorter metre gauge lines are now passenger only. The short metre gauge line in western Switzerland Biere-Apples-Morges is very exceptional. It has a lot of 'piggy back' freight traffic, largely to/from a big army base! And it has two modern locos to haul the freight trains. Containerisation has reduced the need for piggy-backing. There are big container transfer terminals at Visp (to/from Zermatt) and at Landquart (to/from Rhaetian Railways). The Rhaetian Railways Bernina and Arosa lines still sometimes attach freight waggons to passenger trains!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

@@Fan652w Hi, thank you for your reply. The reason I mentioned the mixed freight and piggy back waggons is because we see both in this video at 29:59 it wasn't something I was expecting to see, the train on the left is a mixed freight and the ballast waggons on the right hand side look to be standard gauge waggons riding on piggy back waggons. I took photographs of ballast waggons mounted on piggy waggons at Giswil on the Zentralbahn in 2005 when the line was being rebuilt after the terrible storms that caused several washouts between Giswil and Meiringen. I enjoy watching freights trains on the Rhaetian Railways, sometimes there are one or two waggons carrying Co op containers attached to passenger trains. Swiss railway operations are fascinating.

That is one unusual double slip switch in the beginning, with both straight connections open at the same time.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Double slips look complicated, although I use them on my model railway to save space.

[@thegiq]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Usual double slips are a common thing, with inside slips being far more common than outside ones (aka Baeseler) slips. This one is different though - instead of four point blades configurations which results in four travel directions (diagonal left, diagonal right, turn left, turn right) it supports three: turn left, turn right and a "crossover", where a train can use both diagonals without changing the position of the point blades.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi Tim! That was a wonderful trip. The steam locomotive works precisely, you can hear that immediately. The constant whistling is probably the steam alternator. A Henschel locomotive was always good workmanship. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello Hans, thank you for the link to the Romanian narrow gauge railway. Switzerland has a wonderful variety of railways, this one passes through a gentle rolling landscape and there is a strong French influence to the architecture. The Mallet locomotive was fascinating, although there isn't much information on the internet about No.E164 other than it was built by Henschel for the Portuguese Railways. The camera picks up some interesting noises when it is mounted on the locomotive. The locomotive crew allowed me to mount several cameras on their locomotive; I think they were very keen to take the opportunity to promote their railway and hopefully attract more tourists. I will be posting several different camera angle views of this line over the next few weeks. Take care 🍺 Tim.

Hi, it was fortunate for the young lady that the driver gave a toot on the whistle, although she did smile nicely. Those pylons raised my curiosity, are they just left there as reminder of what used to be there, or did they once lift the power lines clear of the railway before it was electrified.

Hello Jim, Switzerland never ceases to amaze me; I knew nothing about this railway other than it was one of the lines we were to visit as part of this rail-tour. It was the kind of surprize I like and I'd certainly visit again if the opportunity arose. The scenery is gentle and the architecture showed a strong French influence, Switzerland isn't all mountains, yet even the less dramatic landscapes are well tended and attractive. Our locomotive was built for such railways and it made easy work of the gradients. The train crew, both on the footplate and in the train made this a very special experience and the dinner they served was simply delicious.

[@josesaraiva9566]

Good Morning In the 80s, I think that in 1986 I traveled in a locomotive similar to this one on the old Tàmega line in Northern Portugal, a journey of 54 kms, at that time in the province of Trás os Montes there were 4 independent lines of reduced track (1 m) with a total length of 400km, it was the last place where steam locomotives circulated. All these lines were also dismantled and trains no longer circulate in that province, now there is only tar, which the Portuguese are very fond of. There were 10 locomotives Mallet of this series E 160 (2-2), along with 16 Mallet locomotives of the series E 200 (1-2-3) were the last to run these lines, a few years later they were all abandoned except for two or three that were preserved for the Museums, all the others were left to rot, some were later sold abroad. These locomotives were the ones indicated for mountain lines as was the case. This locomotive is in very good condition, I hope it works for a long time, since here in Portugal little value is given to this material... 🙁

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello José, thank you for your comment, it made fascinating and informative reading, it is nice that you saw one these locomotives at work on one of the Portuguese railways it was built to serve. This locomotive belongs to La-Traction based at Pre-Petitjeans - www.la-traction.ch/default.asp?Language=EN they also own and operate E.206. It's always sad when railway lines close, I was fortunate to have seen the last of the narrow gauge trains in the former Yugoslavia, now the only reminder of the once extensive narrow gauge network is the Šargan Eight Railway between Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi. Does anything remain of the former Portuguese narrow gauge railways? The two former Portuguese locomotive owned by La-Traction were professionally restored and today they look to be in very good condition. Porto still has its fascinating trams 🙂.

[@josesaraiva9566]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Hello Good Morning Yes, in Porto there are still 3 lines, it's a short journey in total less than 10 kms, currently one at nº 22, curiously, the last one to be restored is temporarily closed because of the Metro works, in Lisbon there are 6 lines with an extension of about 30kms, the gauge is 90 cms, which is rare~, I think in Europe there is only another one like it in the city of Linz in Austria, there is still another in Sintra, a rural line with 11kms of 1 m gauge, which connects Sintra to Praia das Maçãs on the coast, is the rest of the original line that had 15kms, it is basically a tourist line, but it works all year round still with the original material from the beginning of the 20th century, from 1904. As for steam locomotives, I think that at the National Railway Museum in Entroncamento there will be about 8 or 10 steam locomotives with a wide track (1.67m) and perhaps one with a narrow track (1m), another with a 90 cm track and a 60 cm track from the Pejão mines. There are still several museum sections spread across the country and perhaps there are between 20 and 25 steam locomotives in the whole, but only one working on a wide track and another on a reduced track on the only existing 1m line, the one in Vale de Vouga (part) which is connected to the Aveiro branch, in total just over 90 km in total that works with DMU's. I think that another locomotive of the E160 series is being recovered, just like the one in the video, but I don't know if it has already been fully recovered, anyway, it has been the work of the current Minister of Transport Pedo Nuno Santos who has bet on the Railway, in other previous governments little attention was given to the recovery of locomotives and other railway material.

@@josesaraiva9566 Thank you for comprehensive reply, it made interesting reading, I looked up "Narrow Gauge Railways of Portugal" on the internet where there is plenty of information about the history and eventual closure of most of the narrow gauge railways. This link tells a similar story to your account en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railways_in_Portugal Now my curiosity has been aroused, I will try to visit Portugal to see the trams and what is left of the narrow gauge railways. Later this year I will be visiting the Pyrenees to ride some of the narrow gauge and mountain railways along with the former FEVE metre gauge railways. Most of the narrow gauge railways of Northern Spain survive to this day; many of them run regular commuter trains over part of their tracks to serve the larger towns such as Oviedo and Santander.

Hi, we were riding a compound Mallet locomotive fitted with a Westinghouse steam driven air pump to operate the brakes. With the camera being mounted at the front of the locomotive, it picked up sounds passengers wouldn’t normally hear. The regular pumping sound was the Westinghouse pump, but I don't know what the occasion rushing sound was, it was preceded by a slight whistle, it could have been caused by the release of pressure to operate the brakes, if anyone reading this and knows the correct answer, please leave a comment.
