Trains at: Pratteln, 07/09/23

Hello and welcome to another one of my European films from the incredible station of Pratteln in Switzerland. This was my first time here and it has to be one of the best stations I've ever been to. The amount of freight coming through was mind boggling. This is definitely a station I'll be coming back to.
My next station will be Zurich.

Thanks very much

Hi Tornado922. Great film at Pratteln. Those 521s and 523s even accelerate faster than the 800s when they leave UK stations. Porrentruy is pronounced "pon-twee". Looking forward to watching the next rush hour film at Zurich Central. Kind regards, Chris.

Thanks very much

[@martinarrand4336]

Have loved this . Like the locos they look sleak

[@Tornado922]

They have some stunning looking trains over in the continent

[@jezbo7827]

Excellent video! Switzerland is a fabulous country for watching the trains with so much variety with cross border traffic.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I have always loved Switzerland and to have a chance to do a film from here was something I was never gonna pass up

thank you

[@reecelucasfilms]

Another amazing international film! Always wondered what it is like for filming in countries, is there a sign in process like some stations in the UK?

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, during my stay in Europe I just turned up at station and started filming. I had no issues with any staff members unlike the UK

[@mickeybarrass3625]

That seemed like some station for freight. Did you ever find out what that loco was, that you said, you'd never saw before. Are you on some form of Ranger? Hope you enjoyed your hols in Switzerland.

[@Tornado922]

It's probably the best station I've ever been to for freight trains. In regards to the loco that I wasn't familiar with I've had a few comments telling me it's an 843. I had a lovely time over here thank you

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

Going to Europe to record trains is on my to do list ✅

[@Tornado922]

I can highly recommend it!

[@robshipway2269]

Wonderful video. Unfortunately, without the full length from England to Scotland of HS2 there is not the paths for lorry trailer trains, which would have been good as it would take a large number of lorries off the UK roads.

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, it is a shame that HS2 is getting cancelled from Birmingham upwards as there could have been so much potential for new railfreight to take shape

[@Debbiestrainsandtoys]

😮 I didn't know Wacosa had tanks neither

[@Tornado922]

Now you do

[@Senselessdust]

where is the best place to stand for trainspotting at peterborough?

[@jeffeveningstar648]

I would say for the freight traffic that the northern end of platform 4 and the southern end of platform 4 is good to see the 700 wizzing in and out.

[@dancohen9141]

Specific locomotive in question is 843052

[@Tornado922]

Thanks for that

[@coyi51]

Best station, traffic wise, on your rail trip. So much freight, I can understand you wanting to spend the day, quite a bit of passenger as well. Don't believe lorry trailers on trains would work in the UK, cost would be one and loading would be the other. Many thanks

[@Tornado922]

This is up there with one of my all time favourite stations for sure, I will definitely be coming back here at some stage. I can see where your coming from in regards to the logistical issues faced with taking trailers by rail

[@dancohen9141]

The switch the center is a class 843

[@Tornado922]

right ok

[@Harrynhoughton13]

Hi Tornado

[@Tornado922]

Hello

[@jimmyhillschin9987]

I guess there's so much freight because Switzerland has no sea-ports, so goods must go in and out either by air, road or rail.

[@Tornado922]

Switzerland is an amazing country to go to if you wanted to travel around by train

[@Sparkiestransoprtvlog-cy4lu]

Alot of flatwheels

[@Tornado922]

commonplace amongst freight trains around the world it would seem
