★ 4K 🇨🇭La Chaux-de-Fonds - Neuchâtel - Bern Cab Ride, Switzerland [02.2021]

- In this video, we're looking at two interesting lines, the Le Locle-Col-des-Roches - Neuchâtel railway from 1860 and the Bern - Neuchâtel railway from 1901, as we accompany a BLS RegioExpress starting in La Chaux-de-Fonds via Neuchâtel to Bern.
The composition today is an EW III train, formerly of the orange - grey Swiss Express of the 1970's, the coaches of which BLS acquired from the SBB in 2004. This will probably be the first & last video travelling in one of these trains, as they are scheduled to be scrapped in the coming months.
This will also be the last video in which you will see the La Chaux-de-Fonds - Neuchâtel section in its current state, as it was closed to trains from the 1st of March to the 31st of October 2021 for renewal work. I'm glad we could document the old catenary masts and infrastructure in the video, as an historic document of what once was.
From what I've read, the topography proved challenging while building this line, requiring an altitude gain of over 530 meters (hence the snow at the start). An interesting section is the station of Chambrelien, where the train is forced to change directions.
In recent years, a plan was proposed to make the line continuous through the means of a long tunnel between Neuchâtel & La Chaux-de-Fonds, or a tunnel with which to bypass Chambrelien, however voters voted against this option, likely due to the high costs involved.
From Neuchâtel onwards, the line is very straight and forms part of the shortest connection between Bern and Paris. BLS has been upgrading the line in their aim to operate trains at 160 Km/h for majority of it. You'll notice after Gümmenen, on the famous Saane Viaduct, that they've just completed laying a second track on what once was a single track bridge. Also note the new tunnel (2018) and routing of the line, in order to allow for higher speeds.
Special thanks to Brad for filming this trip.

Merci beaucoup pour se beau voyage. J'adore voyager en train. Un grand merci du Crêt du Locle
Fabulous video...zipped by the house a grew up some 70 years ago....Love the clickety-clack sound!
Stupendo paesaggio e soprattutto i complimenti a BLS per i lavori di potenziamento della rete !
Away from the snow and into the sunshine ... beautiful. 🐨🇦🇺
Danke für die virtuelle Mitnahme.😀😊
Excellent video thank you for sharing 👍
I took this very train when I went to visit WOSTEP and Jager le Coultre. Was staying in Bern with friends and CH has the best train in the world. Fantastic sound and picture. Thank you kindly for the memories. Until safe international travel I will find relaxing videos from you all. Danke!
Danke für die Reise!!!Super!!!Schön!!!
another wonderful line that you allow us to experience from your cockpit.
thank you for your images and for allowing us to live this extraordinary experience.
each of your videos is a real gift.
Nice and very interesting cab ride with beautiful bird's-eye views over lake NEUCHATEL. Thank you for all info given in this video and particularly for a part of the cab ride LA CHAUX DE FONDS/NEUCHATEL.
Đây là tàu hỏa chú, tắc xi cái nồi gì? Có mắt như mù thằng điên hay là đang ngào đá
un magnifique voyage que j'ai fait ( en partie ) par la route......que de beaux souvenirs de vacances du pays natal de ma mère !!!!! merci pour les précieuses infos en incrustation . Un super travail !!!!!! hello from France .
Hallo lorirocks777, hallo Brad - herzlichen Dank für das Video dieser wunderbaren Strecke. Ich bin sie selbst schon mehrere Male gefahren, meist in der anderen Richtung. Bin gespannt, wie es nach dem 31. Oktober aussieht. Danke nochmals für das einmalige Eisenbahn-Dokument. Herzliche Grüsse auch an Brad - Remo
Whoa, those long rides inside the mountains💚
Haha I used to jump off the bridge on the thumbnail when I was younger, crazy scenery
Beautiful ride! Thanks for sharing it with us! 😉👍🇳🇴
Ancien Chaux-de-fonnier immigré au Québec, je n'avais que la ligne était vieille. Mais ne connaissait pas l'année des tunnels 1859 pour les combes et 1860 pour le Mont-Sagne et celui de la Vue des Alpes.
Je ne les pensais pas si vieux.
Merci pour la vidéo
Merci. Beau voyage en Suisse. J'ai remarqué une excellente propreté de la voie ferrée!!..........
Interessante Strecke. Ich bin auf das Ergebnis des Umbaus gespannt 😊
Hello my friend 🙋♂️🤝🙋♂️🇨🇭
Very good vidéo ❣❣
Great ride again
Très belle video bien filmée. Merci pour le travail et le partage . Amicalement de la Bourgogne en France;
Thank you, always excellent enjoyable relaxing content 👍👍😊😊
salut. Merci beaucoup pour le partage ,il me semble que je te l'avais demandée. superbe .j'habite à la Chaux de Fonds et je faisais souvent cette ligne. qui d'ailleurs, est fermée jusqu'en octobre..
Merci pour ce voyage et l'inspiration pour mon modélisme .
à Chambrelien = même situation qu'à Combe - Tabeillon ( La Chaux de Fonds Glovelier ), où le train doit rebrousser .
A very beautiful railway, thanks for sharing such beautiful cab rides from Switzerland.
this was an excellent rail journey many things to see . danke
thank you for your generosity for making these wonderful films ,we realize how much time and effort it takes to make them.
This is perfection. Love every moment of this!
Thanks =)
Excelente video gracias por compartir 🎥👏👍💯👋Argentina
nice journey thank you.
Thank you for the video. Passed through Bern on my way to Wengen not long ago.
Un autre monde ! Malgré la voie unique majoritaire sur le tracé, le train a toujours la voie libre devant lui, 100 km sans ralentissements ça fait rêver. A un moment (vers 40') on distingue le blanc des Alpes Bernoises au loin. Magnifique.
En revanche (gare de Kerzers) je constate que vous aussi vous avez des fous furieux à trottinette... La bêtise est internationale !
Super Mitfahrt Daumen ganz weit nach Oben und Dankeschön fürs Zeigen
Excellent relaxing video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this awesome video. As I grew up in Olten the first bit of railway history we had in school was the accident of the old Hauenstein tunnel. At the time it did not make much of an impression on me. However after reading much more it became clear that even in the old times the fight for funding and the appointment for a foreign most experienced tunnel builder. They hired mostly foreign workers. From an engineering aspect the limited availability of tools or even machinery made this true marvel of its time. They knew it was to steep but confidence was too low to spend more money. Later they built the base tunnel with no issues. The old tunnel is still in such perfect condition considering the challenging geological condition. One day I want to walk it. Since it has been converted to single track it has plenty of room. During its temporary closure there was even an advertised hike. I was also deep inside the Belchen Autobahntunnel with my bicycle a day before the opening. Never forgot the downhill speed I reached with my old 10 speed bike well over its design limit. Look how they had to build a 3rd tunnel tube just because the Jura massif is so challenging.
The history of the Hauenstein Scheiteltunnel is indeed fascinating. If I ever get back to Switzerland I would love to both ride through and hike through it!
I would advise against walking through tunnels on active railways without a permit. Of course it would be interesting, but besides it being illegal, many people have been killed in the process, even experienced track workers. For a train driver, seeing somebody wondering around in a tunnel isn't a nice experience.
@@scottevans2685 So where do you live now?
@@lorirocks777 Oh no, I'd never walk through any railway tunnel unless it was closed to rail traffic and pedestrian traffic was expressly permitted. I may be curious, but I'm not suicidal! 😁

Ich liebe die Spitzkehre ...
Ich habe die Tour- Basel- Glovelier- La-Chaux-de-Fonds - Neuenburg- Solothurn- Delemont- Basel gemacht und gleich 2 befahren...
Fantastic! Thanks so much for posting.
Was für eine gute Reise hat mir sehr gut gefallen und der Schnee sieht toll aus und dann die grünen Wiesen vielen Dank für die Video-Grüße aus Mexiko
I enjoyed every minute of it. Excellent trip.
Thank you!
This line was my escape route on my day off from summer farm jobs in Kerzers, interesting how things have changed on the route since then, so thanks for that, Brad and Lorirocks777 both \m/
Merci pour cette superbe vidéo j adore ! !!!!,👍👍👍🙋
Hello, I am from Ukraine! Thank you!
Excellent!
Fantastic video. Not too many with this part of Switzerland.
22:08-22:10 Clearance-warning brooms (telltales) right, then left.
46:10 Are pure diamond crossings as rare in Switzerland as they are now in the United States?
Keep including those historic photographs, they're wonderful. Boy, that junction line at Convers has been gone a long time.
Suggestion for a future project: When the route is reopened, a duplicate video of today's run would enable everyone to take in the differences/improvements. A side-by-side offering is tempting, but I fear such may not translate very well to my cellphone's small screen.
Thanks, Brad and lorirocks, this presentation made for a nice surprise on a (somewhat) slow Saturday.
Thanks for your comment. Some great ideas =)
We have couple of diamond crossing here in India too.
The other part of diamond crossing we can watch in the tourist train video to Interlaken on this channel itself.
They are rare, but there are a few. In an upcoming video there is one with 2 different gauges.
Is diamond crossing the official name for these?
@@lorirocks777 yes we call it as diamond crossing because it forms 🔹 shape where two lines or sections cross. I observed one at Chur too where Meter Guage line crossed the broad gauge Landquart Arosa section.
@@aditsingh10 I see. Yes, that one came to my mind too, also in Basel RB, where the line from Birsfelden enters.
I was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, but not in the train :-)
Merci pour toutes les informations 🙂
красота)))😊
Quel belle voyage en suisse 🇨🇭🇨🇭
Awesome cabview!! Like!
Great Video. Thank You!
Красиво! 😊
Plot twist:BLS keeps their EB III coaches and loco hauled trains and sends the plastic Flirt4 toys back to their toy factory Stadler.....( I wish....)
😂
C'était quand il y avait encore les trains jusqu'à Neuch...
Gotta love the brooms!! You don't see this in the US or Canada!! 21:55 They are used to clean off the snow on the sides of each car as they pass by.
Do you know their true purpose?
If you lean too far out of the window and the tunnel has a narrow profile, then you'll be glad you got the broom first! gives a slap.
A good way to save your head from being detached.
Mes grand grand parents etais nees a Locle, ils sont venus a Sudamerique au siecle 19.
Very good
Another excellent ride👏👍
20:16
Turntable either turned manually or steam operated.
another great, and now historic, video. anyone notice the information boards changed from French Swiss to German Swiss at Ins?
Another beautiful video, one from, as others here have pointed out, a part of Switzerland not visited that often compared to others.
Noch einmal, vielen Dank!
Thanks for showing. The large areas of flat land traversed would indicate the lakes use to be a much, much larger in area. A request! Bern -Belp-Thun, Thun-Luzern, Luzern-Bern. Not seen since the old Iron road series in the 1980's
As a local of the area, a little side note at the end of the last ice age the whole region used to be an enormous lake, Afterwards, the land got flooded regularly for thousands of years until the sea level of the lakes got lowered by approximately two meters at the end of the 19th century. This massive piece of engineering was achieved by building a large-scale canal network, which doesn't just link the three lakes together but a whole area extending over 5 cantons.
@@lchg6028 There a large number of flat areas which look like ex lakes on the Swiss rail system. The Voderrhein, Linth, Emme, Reuss, Vispa, + others and Inn valleys all have flat areas crossed by the railways with ex lakes or a series of ex-lakes..
Like! 👍 ☺ 💙 💛 💚 ❤
Mmm, yellow Lambo down there on the left 46:38.
Do you often see such cars in Western Europe or do you not live there? (something your nickname is a although romanized, but Russian).

Wieder ein wunderbares Video. Allerdings verstehe ich nicht, dass Du in der Vorschau immer das Beste vorwegnimmst....
Es gibt Videos die am Anfang ziemlich banal sind. Die Vorschau dient dazu, Zuschauer aufzuzeigen dass etwas spezielleres kommt, damit sie nicht nach 30 Sekunden abschalten.
20:12 Little typo : we don't say "allumée" but "tournée" in french in this context 😉
Thanks!
ma che bel video!
Excellent
Assistir Iorirocks777 em: 15/06/2022, ás 16: 07 minutos, Quarta-Feira. Estado de Pernambuco-Brasil.
From Alberta..Neuchatel seems to be a huge resort city.
22:30, 22:34, 21:55 Assume the broom(s) are for pushing mirrors in due to tunnel width restrictions. Or are there just some crazy Whicken's lose trying to cause some kind of Train conductor fertility uprising.
Yet another excellent video with interesting comments, as always. Compared to the struggle to get rail improvements in GB the Swiss seem to be improving their network everywhere, with double tracking and enlarged tunnels, etc.
Some 'off route' lines are named with the comment 'Link in the description'. Will it be possible to include these links to enable more enjoyable viewing?
Thank you.
Yes, sorry about the delay in those links.
интересно, кто эти 5 засранцев, которые поставили 5 дизлайков. а за ролик спасибо.
❤️👍
I wonder if the feller with his bike at 38:52 caught the train?
Est ce que vous allez faire la ligne Annemasse-St-Maurice ?
Lovely video as usual! I really enjoyed the initial single line descent to Neuchatel, including the change of direction at Chambrelien. I checked the timetable, it showed only 2 minutes halt there. Is that enough for the driver to switch ends - walk the length of the train, and the setting up procedures in the loco/cab car? And not to mention the amazing timing and clockwork system of Swiss trains. It was seen while approaching Neuchatel when your train got done with the single track section and crossed the opposite direction IR66 which would then use the same single line section. That sort of timing always impresses me. Thanks for posting this rare coverage!
Thanks for your comment. No, there isn't enough time for the driver to change, a second driver needs to be present.
@@lorirocks777 Ohhh! I did not expect that. So does the other driver stay on board or does he get off at Chambrelien and wait for the next train to take it in the opposite direction and so on?
There is diamond crossing which we saw at kerzers 46:10
We have a famous diamond crossing in Nagpur India where lines from North India to South India intersect with lines from East India to West India.
Both the sections are fully electrified with overhead wires but at particularly at the crossing there is a neutral section where there is no power in overhead wires whenever train crosses the section train pilots lower down the pantograph to cross the section or crossing.
Do same thing happened in Switzerland too because lines are going straight and the overhead wires too going parallel to tracks. Hence at the crossing two wires too intersect.
Do you too lower down the pantograph when you cross this sections or you have different technology
It must be more advanced because we don't have to do anything. Even trams and electric buses can cross paths without issues.
@@lorirocks777 that's great
It didn't ever go on further beyond Chambrelien, then, that was a reversing station like they have on the Darjeeling Himalaya railway?
I'm not familiar with that railway, but, yes.
Petite suggestion : Après la rénovation de la ligne La Chaux de Fonds - Neuchatel peut on espérer avoir une nouvelle vidéo montrant la voie rénovée ?
+2.7% grade there right after the start. Those single-track tunnels are interesting, like the eye of a needle. Are those brooms at the entrance to the tunnels to make sure that there's nothing on the train that's out of gauge?
Mainly to warn people leaning out
merci pour ce superbe trajet;pourquoi y a t'il une rampe avec (il me semble) 3 balais disposés verticalement à l'entrée de chaque tunel?mercipour votre réponse
Pour prévenir les accident des passagers qui voudraient mettre la tête en dehors de la fenêtre du train
Une petite remarque
A Chambrelien les locomotives vapeur devaient être TOURNÉES et non « allumées »
Merci pour le texte en Français
François
Merci!
👍
46:38 spot the Lambo😁
How do you know, when to switch off and on the circuit breakers with the locomotive (and pantograph) at the rear end of the train?
There is a button that automatically measures the distance
chiedo scusa, ma ci sarà anche in futuro il passaggio sotto il san gottardo???
Hé mais c'est les Hauts-Geneveys 😂
Stop horsing around at 8:35
What does it mean the white & black signal...? 🤔
See 1:59
46:35
da hat jemand nen guten Geschmack
What's up with the brooms at 3:52 ?
Clearance warnings for anyone leaning out of the passenger cars. Good catch, I missed these.
🤩🤩🤩🇹🇷❤👏👏👏
😃👍
Why is the line single track?
ou comment prendre 1h30 au lieux de 45 minute...
?
