Once again I owe a massive debt of thanks to the railway's staff for their kind assistance in making this video.
There are two cog railway routes to Rigi Kulm, one starting from Vitznau where the railway connects with regular boats on Lake Luzern, the other connects with the Gotthard Railway at Arth-Goldau. Please click on this link to see a map of the Rigi cog railways and cable cars - sismedia2.sisag.ch/rigi/sisma...
Construction of the first section between Arth-am-See station situated on Lake Zug, to Oberarth commenced in 1873, with construction work on the second section to Rigi Kulm beginning in 1874, the Arth-Rigi Railway commenced operation over the full length of the line on 4 June 1875. The route from its original Arth Lake Zug station to the junction at Rigi Staffelhöhe was 6.8 km long, making the total length of the Arth to Rigi Kulm railway 8.6 km.
The maximum gradient is 1 in 5 (20%).
In January 1959 a bus service replaced trains on the short section between the connection with the Gotthard Railway and the Lake Zug station.
Please sit back and enjoy this highly scenic journey down the mountain to the modern day terminus at Arth.

As a child I remember being given a ladybird book of trains in which there was a photograph featuring a Swiss cog rail locomotive climbing the Brienz Rothorn railway, everything about the photograph enthralled me, the little engine was climbing at an impossible angle, the track was on a very narrow ledge and the scenery was simply stunning. At that young age the chances of ever visiting Switzerland seemed about as likely as my chances of walking on the moon. I still haven’t walked on the moon, but I have been lucky enough to ride many of the Swiss mountain railways and every one of them proved to be as enthralling as that childhood photo. I'm pleased you found the map useful and I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.

I was up there during Christmas a few years ago and there was quite a bit of snow. People were tobogganing, hiking and just enjoying the view. I am from Canada and I have seen my share of snow but that visit was my first time in Switzerland . I fell in love with Switzerland right then and there and I knew that someday I would go back again and this past summer, I did just that. I spent 3 days in beautiful Lucerne ....Beautiful country ....

Hello Robert, I'd love to see the Rigi Railways in winter, it must be awesome, although have visited Whistler and Jasper in January, that was a wonderful experience, are Canadian kids able to ski before they can even walk? Switzerland is an easy country to fall in love with, I'm glad you enjoyed your recent trip to Lucerne.

Hello. It's nice to hear from you. This was taken on my first overseas trip in 3 years due to Covid, I had a great time filming quite a number of railways and I’ll be posting more videos over the coming months. Catching Covid seems to be an unavoidable risk when stepping outside of my home these days, I caught Covid towards the end of this trip, although I didn't feel ill until I'd returned home. I tested positive the day after I got home, it took a couple of weeks to get over it, I'm well again now and looking forward to my next trip in October. Take care and stay safe. Tim.

Hello Hans, thank you again for your help with this video. Whilst I was editing it I logged onto a number of web-sites that gave a brief history of the Rigi Mountain railways, the most interesting fact being that the line out of Vitznau was Europe’s first mountain cog railway. The world’s first cog railway was not a mountain railway, it was the Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, I believe the world’s first mountain cog railway was the Mount Washington Cog Railway in the USA. Whilst there was competition on Mount Rigi in the early days, it wasn't long before the railways, aerial cable cars and ski lifts realized the potential of working together, today they are all marketed as "Rigi". One non-standard railway did close and its route is now a spectacular footpath in summer and a ski run in winter. Your bench looked real quality, I'm sure it will look great in your garden, an ideal place to chill out and enjoy a beer. Cheers 🍺. Tim.

This fascinating video captures their very essence and beauty, and allows us to experience the adventure when we will never be able to physically see it in person. Tim's leading comments are thorough and informative and add to the historical significance of the railways. While watching I was wondering why 2 trains were so close to each other traveling the same direction on the same route.
@Timsvideochannel1
@Timsvideochannel1 Жыл бұрын
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Your question as to why 2 trains are travelling close together on the same route is one I have asked myself, as it is a common practice on Swiss mountain railways. I typed into Google - why do Swiss mountain railways often run two trains close together instead of running them as one longer train? I didn't find the answer I was looking for, although it is worth noting that many Swiss mountain railways are starting to introduce new conventional multiple unit trains, it is also happening on this railway. The new trains have advantages and disadvantages, from an operating point of view longer trains require less staff than two shorter trains, from the passengers point of view it is becoming more difficult to enjoy the same view as the driver. I will make a guess that modern technology and higher passenger numbers have made multiple unit running on mountain railways a practical proposition, whereas one hundred or more years ago when many of these railways were built the technology and passenger numbers made shorter or single unit trains the choice of the day. My conclusion may well be wrong, if someone knows the answer, please share it with us.

Wishing I'd made the journey and not let the steam ban put me off. Booked with RTC at Christmas so hopefully get there with winter scenery

That Christmas holiday does look tempting, but I'd never get my wife to go with me, she loves the sun and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without her. I think Rigi will look awesome, covered in snow with people enjoying winter sports. My trip to Poland next month has been postponed and my next RTC trip is to Germany in January 2023, I bet that'll be cold. I looked at some of your videos, that coffee pot locomotive reminded of the one we should have had for our trip on the Rigi railway. When you get back from your Christmas trip, please post a video showing the snow covered mountains, I promise to be jealous.

Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the views. I add captions to the videos, such as the station names and I also give links in the video description for those wanting to know more about the railway. I don't add a commentary because it is not popular (most of my viewers don't speak English as their first language) and I'd also have to do more research which I simply don't have time to do, this is just a hobby, I would like to spend more time researching, shooting and editing videos, sadly it doesn't put food on the table, I rely on my day job for that.

Hi Robert, I love the Swiss lakes and mountains, there is a cog railway to the top of many peaks and a genuine paddle steamer on most of the lakes, everywhere is easy to reach by train. Today was another very hot and dry day here on England's South Coast; it's getting on for two months since we had rain apart from one thunder storm over three weeks ago. I keep jumping into a good size paddling pool to cool down and I've just returned from an hour and half walking in the surf on my local beach. Cheers. Tim. 🙂🍺.

The middle rail is a cog rail (Rack rail) that locates with a cog on the train. The train is fitted with several different failsafe mechanisms to stop the train in the event of an emergency.
