🚆 Cab ride through lower Sihl valley (Sihltalbahn | S4 Zurich - Sihlwald - Zurich)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- The first few seconds may look familiar to you. We are back on the SZU railway in Zurich! This time on the Sihltalbahn (Sihl valley train), listed in the ZVV S-Bahn Zurich system as S4, which connects Zurich main station to Langnau-Gattikon and an hourly run to Sihlwald, like here. This is a round trip, so sit back, relax and enjoy the full ride from Zurich to Sihlwald and back! The stretch to Sihlbrugg, after Sihlwald, is only used for exceptions, diverts, test runs and by steam trains in the summer season.
The Sihltalbahn runs on 15kV AC and shares tracks with the Uetlibergbahn (S10) from the same company, which uses 1200V DC. Due to this, the pantograph of the Uetlibergbahn had to be moved 1.3 meters to the right side, in order to be able to run both lines on the same tracks.
This video was done in cooperation with the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn (SZU), special thanks for making this video possible!

It's so good to see another video from my favorite train driver again. In my favorite of all countries. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to many more. God bless.
I love your videos, especially the ones I have ridden before.
I love it!
Especially the editing. at 37:56 it is making a person walking on the left morph into a different person. Epic.
The Train ride is pretty nice too...
xD
Danke für's Mitnehmen und für eine entspannte Fahrt 🙂
Enjoyable as usual. Also, the snow looks to be melting, which is a pleasure to watch.
Super video! Spannend zu sehen was sich in der kurzen Zeit alles verändert hat
Great work as always. I enjoyed the return more with the acceleration sounds since you were in the locomotive itself.
Most of us also prefer to drive in the locomotive, it just gives a much better feel of the train and the tractive force and therefore a better overall control, specially in bad weather conditions.
I used these videos to meditate, it helps me to focus ... seriously
Friend i love your videos cab train, really the swiss landscapes and the infrastructure of trains are very clean, in good condition, that beautiful country, greeting from Venezuela 😍
Best wishes to the folks in Venezuela. Difficult times.
@@chrisbillington3341 thanx Chris 😀
Fantastic video
dear Friend love it. Really enjoyed. Thumbs up.
Wishing you good health and beautiful Time.
God bless you.
Супер.. красота!! Спасибо !
Please continue with the vids of the lesser reordered routes. Suggestions, Sargans to/from Bodensee, SOB St.Gallen to/from Luzern, BLS Burgdorf to/from Thun (Emmental region), Seetalbahn,
Hallo, um 5:38 Uhr fährt ein Zug von Zürich Giesshübel Richtung Uetliberg ab: Wie kommt der Fahrgast an Bord? Zu anderen Tageszeiten ist der Einstieg in die Uetlibergbahn ab Zürich Giesshübel nicht möglich. Vielen Dank für Ihre Mitarbeit und für die Schweizer Präzision.
Une vidéo très intéressante qui commence en ligne urbaine et termine en ligne à la campagne. Merci et sincères salutations.
I love trains and the place is so nice, congratulations
*nice*
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Grosse Klasse.
Amazing.
Another great video. Thanks.
Schönes Video.
Die Kurvenradien für die Normalspur sind bei dieser Bahn auch ziemlich an der Grenze des möglichen.
Schienen- und Räderverschleiss ist wohl enorm höher.
Kurvig ja, aber definitiv nicht an der Grenze des Möglichen. Da gibt es deutlich kleinere Radien, zum Beispiel auf der S6 in Seebach. Dort sind nur 30km/h zulässig.
Greetings. A lovely ride. Three times we crossed some river didn't we? Good to have a return journey in the same video rather than having it in a separate video. What about a freight train cabride?
More videos of all train types will come in the future.
Nice video! Switzerland is a nice and clean country.
schönes Video, ich gratuliere Ihnen
Vielen Dank für das Video 👍
Летом конечно красивее!
Good. The power catenary extends beyond Sihlwald and the maps show the line continues freight only to the Thalwil/Zug line. So in exception circumstance would we see through freights and passenger trains on this line? The length limit of the train being the passing places length.
The line was in active service as far as Sihlbrugg, where it joins the Thalwil-Zug line - Sihlbrugg station was shut down as part of ongoing upgrades to the Gotthard corridor and is now reached by bus from Horgen.
There is no freight at all on this route.
There are a few wagons on an unpowered siding and at the traction depots and there are a few sidings on the route so there must be some movement of wagons even if is only spare parts and track maintenance. Nothing 'regular'
@@briancooper562 any freight would be limited to local needs - the route is inappropriate for corridor traffic
That's some late snow? Looks cold and bright.
Also I have been wondering how similar the controls are in all the different vehicles? There is a brief shot in one video where there is a wheel on the desk which obviously is not for steering! I hope that makes sense. What would that be for?
Footage is from January, filmed on the same day as the Uetliberg cab ride. Controls in the control car and in this locomotive are 1:1 the same (it does handle a bit different though), but most cabs are unique, only a few are comparable. We had a standard cab, which was used in the 420, 421, 430, 510, 540, 560 and 620 series, but since then, unlike Germany, Switzerland did not have a standard cab design. It tends in that direction again with many new Stadler trains, but that is just the cab style of Stadler and not a "must".
This is a very picturesque line once you get clear of the city. Is it connected to the SBB network? Could they work through freight trains or whatever? It looks as if it used to go beyond Sihlwald, the track seems to go on further. Also an interesting shed at Sihlwald, I wonder what's in there.
Of course it is connected, on both sides. It is sometimes used for freight and was once used for Eurocity trains to Milano because of construction works. However with the huge amount of traffic on the SZU network, there's not much space left for more trains.

super like 15 👍🎆✨🎇🏆🥇👈
You could easily confuse those lights on the escalator at 1:52 for signals.
Wiederum ein richtig schönes Video von Railway Emotions. Das hin und zurück Fahren war auch sehr interessant. Überraschend, dass so lange Strecken des Sihltalbahnes nur einspurig gebaut sind. Gibt es Züge die noch weiter als Sihlwald fahren?
Fahrplanmässig fahren keine Züge mehr weiter, die Strecke wird jedoch als Umleitung und für Probefahrten genutzt, sie ist also voll befahrbar. In letzter Zeit war der Giruno zwischen Sihlbrugg und Sihlwald zu sehen.
Wird selber ein speciales post machen for der SZU und die legendärer Re 456!
your videos are superb it would just add the charts of course (LEA) and it would be better. Is it possible ?
Thanks! Those charts are classified as internal and therefore, I cannot show them. Also it wouldn't make sense for 99.9% of the viewers, since it needs quite some knowledge to read and understand them. If you want to know the speed in a particular section, feel free to ask me here in the comment section, as long as it stays within reason... ;)
@@RailwayEmotions I had a second question. it will be possible to have lines in romand Switzerland, such as porrentruy-Bienne or Basel SBB-Delémont?
Generally, I film whatever I can, if the weather, sight etc. are good or interesting. For the moment, routes in Suisse romande are not planned.
Thanks for posting this - how well kept is the 'dormant' stretch to Sihlbrugg?
It is kept in shape, but used very rarely. Only during exceptions, test drives and steam trains in the summer season.
@@RailwayEmotions thanks for clarifying - on a related note, surely the connection from Wiedikon can only be used by steam or diesel, as you'd need to cross the 1200v DC section to reach the main Sihl route, or do electrics coast through there with pantograph down?
It can only be used with 15kV electric (and thermal engines of course), but since I don't drive there, I cannot tell you how it exactly works. My guess is if the switch from Giesshübel is pointing towards Wiedikon, the 1.2kV is turned off in that section, so 15kV trains can touch both lines with their pantographs simultaneously without causing problems. It is quite steep there, so getting enough momentum to turn the circuit breaker off, lower the pantograph, coast through AND put everything up again would be pretty hard.
@@RailwayEmotions thanks, found this clip that backs up your theory ruclips.net/video/O8P9-Zor460/видео.html
What I knew (and realized I didnt mention in my last comment) is that the circuit breaker must be opened when passing that section. In your video this is visible by the lit up signal "U" (not the yellow one, the one left to it). That is easily possible with a bit of momentum. However lowering the pantograph, coasting through and lifting it again some 100m later would just take up too much momentum. We now have confirmation the panto stays up, which doesn't exactly confirm that the 1.2kV section is off during that time, but it is very likely.
Thank you for another interesting video. I imagine the line can be busy at peak times, bringing commuters in and out of the city centre. Do you think the Uetliberg Bahn will eventually change to 15kV AC as the Chur-Arosa line did in 1997?
It will be changed sooner or later, new vehicles are bought to work under both systems and one day, they will switch. Future generations will only be able to run under 16kV.
It is changed
Ich habe eine Frage, dass er fährt mit Wechselstrom oder Gleichstrom.
Wechselstrom, 15kV

What is the distance traveled?
About 29km
@@RailwayEmotions Ohh awesome Thankyou!
