Absolutely great to see the Pilatus Cogwheel Railway in the 20s. Then, the tracks were 30 to 40 years old. Now in 2024, which is 135 years after construction, we still use the original tracks and rack. They are still in fantastic condition with almost no wear. It's unbelievable, what the engineers and workers left for us. I was a train driver this season and it's beautiful to see , that there are constants on earth, like all the characteristic rocks, that are laying there like untouched until today. Some things are modified nowadays, like the middle and crossing station and the last tunnel on top the mountain, which is now longer because of rockslides and avelanges. And of course, the railway was electrified in 1937, therefore there are power lines now. Thanks for sharing this beautiful film.

Children act the same way when presented in front of these cameras regardless of the location. Some look with confusion while walking to they're job/school/home, boys tend to be the more outgoing as they stop in amusement with a big grin. Kids looked much hardier back then, and I always notice the unique way youth would fidget or keep they're hands buisy. The youth as much a product of their time like any other. We're lucky to have so much footage. Edit: 17:10 absolutely stunning footage

And these children filmed in the 1920s, probably occupy the graveyard also filmed here. And so do their children, their children's children, and their children's, children's, children. Human lifetimes are short.

Amazing work! I've immediately recognised the tracks from the Pilatus cog railway (the steepest in the world!). It's eerie to see that when it comes to us Swiss, apart from different clothes, tourism and modernisations, everything could have been shot today. Same houses, same mannerisms, same vibes.

Bonjour de la Suisse. 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 On voit ici, en partie quand il y a un 3 rails, des chemins de fer conçus pour les trains à crémaillères. La locomotive a sous son plancher une roue dentée, actionnée par le conducteur de la locomotive. Donc quand un 3ème rail apparaît, le mécanicien de la locomotive abaisse une roue dentée, pour qu’elle vienne s’insérer dans le rail du milieu . Ce système est prévu dans les pentes, pour éviter que la locomotive « patine » sur les rails. Et je peux imaginer qu’au retour, ce système « retient » la locomotive, pour éviter une « glissade ». C’est encore utilisé aujourd’hui pour les,trains qui vont en altitude, mais ce n’est pas courant et la vitesse est fortement limitée. Merci de m’avoir lu 😊
