Trains Suisses - Domodossola - Brig - Bern (partie 2/6)

[@GutenTag7777]

Beautiful. Used to travel from Köln to Brig in the nineties. This section was always my favorite. It's one of the most scenic rail routes in Europe along with the Rhine route. Now it's the 300 km-h high speed line and the Lötschenberg base tunnel on that rote. This post video makes me nostalgic :-)

Very interesting and now historic. Fun to see the Loetschberg grade start IMMEDIATELY north of the junction point! Thanks for posting.

Looks to me that the speed was about 120 km/h. The video looks a late 1989 or so, at least from the cars I was able to see on the side of the railway. Impressive video though!!

On the mountain, maximum speed is 80km/h, as far as I recall. It looks faster, though!

@GutenTag7777 Thank you, happy you enjoy this video ! It was an old tape, I had in my collection... and I put this on youtube. This section is also one of my favorite !

How fast is this particular train travelling? 100 km/hr? 160?

[@ELMASLAD]

80kph = 50mph !! This train is easily doing twice that. Way too fast if you ask me, considering the precipitous drop off the cliff.

ohhhh, I'm sorry, I don't know !!!
