★ 4K 🇨🇭 Spiez - Zweisimmen cab ride, Switzerland [05.2021] Führerstandsmitfahrt Simmentalbahn

The line we're looking at today was originally two lines, built and run by separate operators. The Spiez - Erlenbach railway was opened in 1897, after the Thunerseebahn between Thun and Interlaken had been inaugurated in 1893. The line aimed to link markets, especially the trading of livestock in Erlenbach with other parts of Europe.
In 1902, a second railway company (EZB) built a railway from Erlenbach to Zweisimmen, where a narrow gauge connection would be opened in 1905 to Montreux. In 1942, the two companies merged, before merging with the BLS in 1997.
As with most of the Swiss network, freight traffic has seen a decline over the past decades, with currently only 1 or two stations still being served on the line. There is an hourly commuter train serving all stations and also an hourly RegioExpress, which couples to the RegioExpress from Brig in Spiez and continues as one train to Bern - thus allowing the direct connection to Bern from Zweisimmen. The line is also part of the Goldenpass service, which is a connection from Montreux directly to Interlaken, with special coaches that can are adaptable for both gauges.
At the start of our journey, you'll see the Niesen summit to the left, a popular destination for tourists that allows a panoramic view of a large part of the Bernese highlands. The Lötschberg line runs in the valley on the other side of this mountain. In a future video, we'll be boarding a funicular that will take us all the way to the peak, from the valley station in Mülenen.

We love the Swiss scenery, the mountains, cows, the rivers the homes. Everything always looks so clean & neat, very well taken care of. It seems everything coexist with everything, seeing cows near train stations or other businesses. Fascinated by this country.

[@rexx9496]

Switzerland is the closest thing this world has to utopia.

[@AB-pl1ko]

@@rexx9496 - It simply comes down to the Swiss taking a lot of pride in their country. Keeping things neat, organized and tidy is part of that equation. They sort of 'set the standard' in that regard as when you travel into Italy or France from Switzerland, it's very obvious that you've crossed a border. That is less the case when you travel into Germany or Austria, as they tend to have a similar mindset to the Swiss.

So beautiful. My dad had a 32 m² room in the annex where he built a large model railway. 12 trains could drive around, fully automated. Märklin HO, with houses from Faller, Kibri and Vollmer. In the middle he made a fake canal with an industry zone in the back and a city centre near the front. On the right was an urban zone and on the left was this meadowland with a mountain with tunnels in the far left corner. This ride reminded me of those meadows. I felt like the kid I was back then, riding through his model world. Only for real and looking far better than the views in what is left from my childhood memories, now more than fifty years ago. Thanks for these wonderful scenes.

[@RailRelaxation]

I am always amazed by the organization of Switzerland

[@philippedardot7309]

La Suisse c’est magnifique, les montagnes, l’herbe verte, le ciel bleu, les chalets en bois.

[@SergeyBakhtamov]

Beautiful landscape! An interesting moment at 26:57. We go downhill, but the river flows in the opposite direction... :)

[@salloom1949]

I thoroughly enjoyed this production of the cab ride. Beautiful scenery through the Swiss countryside. Greenery everywhere, luscious meadows, and cows grazing. Lovely hamlets seen everywhere along the track. In particular, I enjoyed the view of the mountains capped with snow on both sides of the track. Switzerland must be closest place to heaven. I want to die there...

To be honest, I travel on video channels all over the world via KZbin, I don't impose myself, I haven't seen another channel like yours that covers travel as well as yours. I have subscribed to you for this for a long time, thank you from the bottom of my heart-!

May I make a recommendation? I am a subscriber of AUNZ RAILFAN and one of my favourite videos is the following: "4K cab view - Minobu Line Full Trip ... around Mt Fuji." I think you will enjoy the views of Japan.

[@rogertemple7193]

I love the cab ride through the countryside and the magnificent scenery outside of the cab and just looking at the beautiful scenic countryside and enjoying it. Thanks for your videos and until next video Thank You. 🚝🚅🚄🚈💨

[@RailRelaxation]

That is a perfect video. The river, the views on the mountain tops covered with snow and at the same time all the flowering trees....beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@lorirocks777]

Thanks RR 😁 The weather is good, however I also enjoy the atmosphere the dark clouds bring in some of your videos.

[@geoffreymartin2764]

I get a really good relaxing feeling watching these trips. Thanks heaps

[@MartyBecker]

Wonderful video. I have ridden this line and it is nice to see it from the cab perspective. My wife’s parents lived to the left of this route, on the other side of Niesen, near Reichenbach. I am very familiar with this area. So beautiful. 🇨🇭

Just the right line for right now, thank you - hope they fix the rough riding on the Golden Pass Express so that we might pass one (or maybe even ride one) on a future video - would be interesting to witness the coupling/uncoupling procedure at Zweisimmen \m/

The only country in the world that could possibly match Switzerland's beauty is Austria. I think that small region is a the sweetspot of Europe.

[@ranjandasgupta2995]

Absolutly

[@ritvijpant]

This is the best comment..i also think so. The second one will be france because it also has some beautiful locations on alps. I find england the most boring place in europe. England does not have any natural beauty and the country is not developed

Interesting little truck at27:12. Not sure if it's a conversion of a VW or whether it's some exotic model rarely seen outside Switzerland. Actually it seems to be painted in Gulf livery, so perhaps it's a racing car transporter

Absolutely beautiful! How about adding temperature information? Helps with imagining being there.😁

So where is the Gauge change position for the through stock? The narrow gauge section must drop below the wheel flange to widen or narrow the wagons wheel gauge. Possibly under the red wagon? Are the cows in this region related to the Scottish Haggis? With legs of different lengths so they can cross the slopes on the fields. HaHa.

[@nino5168]

I love your videos: they're so relaxing with amazing views! Just for curiosity: why are there some sections of rails in the middle of tracks? Are them there for a reason or only for a backup for quick replacement?

[@AndreiTupolev]

Do you mean like at5:15? That's a normal thing that's done on lines going over bridges as a precaution against derailment

[@nino5168]

@@AndreiTupolev hi. No I mean like at min 13:46.

@@nino5168 yes, they look like old rails that have been replaced and awaiting removal

39:03 - You enter a train station and just around the corner you see a lone train car on the same track. Even in a third-world country like mine, I haven't seen anything like that.

[@swisspeach67]

Just to be completely pedantic: This train car is not on the same track as the camera train. The camera train runs on standard gauge (outer pair of rails), the car is on the narrow gauge tracks (inner pair)

[@lorirocks777]

There was a special signal to inform the driver of this (the orange line). It's not uncommon in Switzerland.

In Switzerland: cleanliness is too good, low population keeps countryside ever green, the peak of Alps brings beauty more to the fore front. However the heights of Himalayas is so high & her size is very gigantic that only on nature factor Himalayas they are awesome. David & Goliath,but here Goliath is the ' Conqueror'.
