Swiss Railway Journeys - The SBB Brünig Line Part 1

This is the official channel of the TV show Swiss Railway Journeys, run in association with MITV, the production company that created the show. The following episode represents original content made and copyrighted by MITV, and its content is in no way repurposed.
Join us for the first of our two part journey through scenic central Switzerland along the only metre gauge line of the Swiss Federal Railways, which runs from Interlaken to Luzern.
Our ride begins at the famous resort of Interlaken in the Bernese Oberland, and we look around this lovely town before travelling along the northern shoreline of Lake Brienz. Along the way we pause to look at the fleet of boats which operate along the lake, one of which, the Lötschberg, is an historic paddle steamer.
We pause at the charming village of Brienz to look at examples of the local wood-carving industry, and make a diversion into the mountains along the winding route of the Brienz-Rothorn Railway, which is mainly steam operated. The views along the journey are spectacular, while the locomotives are a piece of living history.
The end of this part of the journey is at Meiringen, famous in literature as a holiday destination for the detective Sherlock Holmes, who plunged to his death in the waters of the Reichenbach falls nearby.
The journey continues in our SBB Brünig Line Part 2 programme, which takes us over the Brünig pass to the lakes of Lungern and Sarnen before arriving at the popular destination of Luzern, with its magnificent architecture and painted bridges.
(recorded in 1992)

I wish they showed this here in the US. Nothing like it or comparable here.

Thank you for the kind words.

I discovered this show - and fell in love with Swiss railways - when the PBS affiliate in Seattle, KCTS, showed this series on Thursday nights in the 1990s.

[@trevorhunter2548]

[@SwissRailwayJourneys]

Yes, all episodes are now uploaded to the channel.

[@andrewdock7288]

Is it still available on DVD and where do you buy it?

[@SwissRailwayJourneys]

Hi Andrew, I'm sorry but the MITV web shop has been closed so it's no longer possible to buy the DVD's there. There may be some 3rd party web sites still selling them though.

[@andrewdock7288]

I did look for the website but could not find it. So pleased you put it on you tube are you still making the series any railways you missed?
