47:00 日本の三重県津市というところに住んでいる、日本人です。2003年に発売された子供向けの鉄道に関する歌のビデオのDVDに、貨物列車のところでこの山越えの車を運転者ごと乗車するこの列車が映っていました。 スイスは環境を非常に大切にしている国の代表であり、場所は限定的ながらも日本からは2000年までに消えてしまった”カートレイン”が現役なのは非常に興味深い事だと思います。 山越えに限らず、日本でも貨物列車が現在運行がないローカル路線を中心にこの動画で登場している利用方法のタイプを含めてカートレイン(バイクを有蓋貨車に搭載する”モトトレイン”というのもあった)を大復活すればいいなと思っています。

[@user-vj8tc3vg1m]

@@SFSKNI こんにちは、返信ありがとうゴザイマス！。鉄道車両積載による”青函連絡”は88年に終了したものの現在でも人員と自動車系の輸送は青函フェリーにより行われていますが、鉄道貨車(車運車)で行うには英仏海峡トンネル(ユーロ隧道)のカートレインによるシャトルサービス「ユーロトンネル・ル・シャトル」(旧,ル・シャトル)で使用中の”ユーロトンネル9形電気機関車”を製造することが考えられます。 しかし未だにくすぶっている北海道新幹線との共用問題等を解決する必要があるため、9形電気機関車のような防火壁を備えた電気機関車を製造することや、最高速度200キロぐらいは営業運航できるようにするのが良いかもしれません。

Nice to see the early routes and back roads. Last year there was a warning for the cold war ammunition's dump in the Blausee area was considered 'at risk'. Seems it had been emptied of redundant calibers but still contained very old but still viable sizes for existing weapons. And time and atmospheric conditions in the dump had made storage risky.

[@SigisTravelVideos]

They are just in the starting face to clean up the 'ammunition' mess in Blausee-Mitholz. Starting in 2025, 51 person have to leave the town of Mitholz.

[@imagereader_9]

I've ridden this train several times in both directions. On one trip I created a personally TERRIFYING situation over, of all things, the key to my rental car.! While waiting on the train to depart Kandersteg I had an impulse to retrieve something from the hatchback of the car. Upon getting out of the car I DROPPED the key on the grating flooring of the car. It lay very precariously on the floor and even the slightest movement, even a vibration of some kind might have caused it to fall through down to the track. Needless to say bending over to pick it up made for a very tense and unforgettable moment. No telling what kind of mess I would been in had that happened.... YIKES!

Wow, that would have been a shit show 😁. I guess you missed the sign saying that opening the car door is prohibited.

Der Autoverlad in Goppenstein und das Entladen in Kantersteg geht recht flott von statten.

I have questions. What are the orange beacons on the side of the tunnel wall for? And the locomotive or whatever it is to the left at 1:06:05, what's that?

[@SigisTravelVideos]

I don't know Erik.

[@cedricmarletaz780]

Hello. As a train driver I can explain : every tunnel have safety features including emergency exit with automatic LED light but normally it’s shut off. The orange beacon are the safety light who whiteness the incoming train and allow the maintenance guy to hide in the multiple protective shelter that can be found every (maybe) 50 meters. For the “train” it’s a passenger coach with driving cabin that can remote the engine located at the opposite side of that shuttle train. The purpose of that coach is to give space and seats for passengers who don’t want to stay on their car and bikers. In order to minimize the connecting cables that have to run along the whole train (engine remote, pneumatic break) this coach is equipped with it own pantograph to catch power for aircon and heater. Sorry for the long answer : railways world is sometime complicated 😊

[@ErikN1]

@@cedricmarletaz780 So it's a control cab basically. I think it's the first one I've seen with a pantograph. When something looks like a passenger car and has a pantograph I usually associate it with maintenance trains unless it's a multiple unit configuration. Complicated but interesting world. Especially the signal systems.

[@cedricmarletaz780]

⁠@@ErikN1it’s actually the same at 47m12 : every shuttle consist of engine-boarding platforms-roofed wagons-boarding platforms-control cab. Just the driver switch cabin, no other operations needed. Usually 30 minutes needed to fully unload and reload. Platforms are designed for efficient operation, just a guy will help the freaky driver to maximize the number of loaded cars.

It is connected to the main line, but most trains are driving through the new Lötschberg tunnel that opened in 2007.

The Lötschberg railway is one of the main north-south routes through the Swiss alps. It's so important that they even built a new 35km long base tunnel, which opened in 2007 (but the old line still sees a lot of traffic in addition to the auto trains).

very odd that both the people in the cars are allowed to stay in the car vs get in a passenger car, and also even more odd that there are no tiedown shackles for the cars themselves. Look at the Amtrak Autotrain. They have passengers drop off their cars then are loaded by trained personell. the passengers ride in sleeping cars for the trip and the cars are tied down so they cant move. Same with carrying cars by autorack on freight. they get tied down.
