There are so many places and railways I have to see in my lifetime and this route is one of them. One of mankind's wonderful achievements, definitely on my bucket list.

The scenery is spectacular, and also amazing is the amount of labor that created this route. Yet we saw no other rail traffic on this video. Seeing those power lines that swoop across the valley impressed me.

Thank you so much for this video. I reside in Glendale, Arizona, USA, just outside of Phoenix. I've always dreamed of visiting the Swiss Alps, but at age 60, I haven't had the means to do so, therefore, these videos that you create is the next thing to being there.

As a historian, I am so glad the old platforms are still extant (Airolo). Wonderful video. Thank you!

It is a pleasure to share with our english speaking friends !

Yes i did that route from Milano the Zurich by TEE 1971 , sitting in the Back Cab ... from swiss border to after getting near the Mittleland 20mins from Zurich ... was an amazing ride in the TEE ...

Wonderful. Happy memories of 1950's motor holidays. Living in a Third World country, a mess called Great Britain, the cleanliness & efficiency of Switzerland makes we weep with shame.

Awesome, thanks for posting this!

Thanks for uploading this great video, thanks also for this version with descriptions in English.

What a breathtakingly beautiful trip!

Fascinating video. I did the return trip from Zurich to Locarno via Bellinzona in 1987. Terrific scenery, and the 3 circular tunnels were both a big surprise and quite spectacular. The change in height near the church was amazing. I have been working my way through my 35mm photo collection from that period and digitising it. I found some photos from where I was working in Locarno, and also from a trip around Lake Maggiore, but so far haven't found any from the rail trip. During the 80s I also visited Montreux several times and took the train from Geneva. One time I was their for a week, and commuted from Vevey. Excellent train service.

Worlds best engineered and run country. Pure genius

I've been through from the other side. We went from Locarno to Goschenen then took the narrow gauge train to Andermatt and Brig. Fabulous journey. You could see the narrow gauge train departing on the right as the train the video was taken from left Goschenen. It was winter when I travelled on that route so everything was covered in snow but the trains still ran immaculately to time. Swiss railways are brilliant.

Annother masterpiece of Swiss railwayship.

Beautiful landscape and stone architecture !

Great job with the speedup in the tunnels, and landmark (church) views

Hello, fantastic this trip seen from the locomotive cabin. The landscape is breathtaking and so is the railway. The locomotive is a beautiful gem very well preserved. The video was very well done and even makes us feel like being inside the cabin. Of all the cab rides I've seen, this one is by far the best. Congratulations on doing it so well. Regards from Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Beautiful.

Thanks for video. Brings back memories. I lived in the Ticino canton and took this trip many times both ways. I traveled out of Zurich International airport and always took the train to the airport as the morning train would have a special car which would be detached in Zurich and then taken to the airport.

Beautiful in Switzerkand

That's Amazing Way.. Way to heaven

👍 Amazing video! 👍 LIKE! 👍

wonderful

Bellissimi posti ci ha passato la mia gioventù su quella zona 😘

Excellent and informative

I like the videos. Helps me sleep :)

Molto bello ! Grazie e Cordiali saluti.

Very happy that you like it. have fun watching !

Your idea of speeding up the video in tunnels is ingenious -- far better than most clips on here, where they just skip the long tunnels.

One of the very few videos where the colors that the wayside signals are displaying can actually be seen by the viewer of the video.

We invented railways, but the Swiss engineers pushed alpine railways to the limit of the envelope, then redrew the envelope. And now we have the Base tunnels. :D

Just beautiful... thank you so much. Does anyone know what the approximate temperatures would have been on that lovely day?

Danke !

tres beau !

Beautyful sights on a beautyful piece of railway. I only would like to see the same film without changing the speed in tunnels and variation of camera positions. A real ' watching forward' in real speed. But that 's my opinion. Still love it though.

A 15:45,à Goschenen,sur la droite,on voit un train du MGB partir vers Andermatt.

Big lights needed, like North American trains. Good use of editing to speed the tunnels.

Why no lights in the tunnel; that seems dangerous?

The title was misleading, that was not the old 9 mile Gotthard tunnel. I wonder if there are any cab rides through the old 9 mile GOTTHARD tunnel?

5:24 how do you changed your direction? I cannot catch this

How do middle bogie get adjusted on turn?

Can the BDe 4/4 run via the Base Tunnel?

Good morning. I have a question for you. Was Robert Stephenson the chief engineer of the Gotthard tunnel and did he die of a heart attack?

Unde este linia cu cremaliera ?

WHY?not Cabs lights on ın the DARK tunnel :(

Ae 6/6?

N56

Visual quality is poor.

So these train run on electricity?

Such great scenery, why ruin it with churches.
