  • The movie shows a cab ride with freight train #5135 from Landquart over the famous Albula Line of the Rhaetian Railways to Samedan. The train is pulled by GE 6/6'' #701 Raetia.
    The Ge 6/6'' (Bo′Bo′Bo′) is a class of heavy electric locomotives with a total of 7 engines. The first engine, #701, was delivered in 1958 by the manufacturers Schweizerische Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM), Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC) and Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) at a price of 230,000 Swiss francs. The last engine, #707 was delivered in 1965. The engines are capable of pulling 280 tons on the 35% grade over Albula Pass. They operate with 11kV 16 2/3 Hz AC power. The Ge 6/6 II locomotives have a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), weigh 65 tonnes and develop 1,776 kilowatts (2,382 hp) at 46 kilometres per hour.
    In part 1, we see the engine running light from Landquart to Landquart Ried, were the freight train is picked up. Additional cars are picked up at Untervaz between Landquart and Chur. Now, the train consists of 34 axles, weights 273 tons and has a speed limit of 60 km/h. Part 1 ends in Reichenau-Tamins, where the Albula Pass line and the line from Chur to Disentis seperate.
    The movie was filmed in September 2015. Enjoy!

    That clock thing is a mechanical event or speed recorder which registers speed and a few other items on a time sheet. The event recorder or Tachymeter is from HaslerRail and its sound is very typical for these machines. In the 1960 to 1990 tousands of engines were equipped with these recorders. While today replaced by electronic event recorders, they are still being produced and see widespread use in certain countries, e.g. India.

      I finally know what is the hypnotic ticking noise our old trolleybuses' tachometer do in Lausanne when they are running. I also love how their speedometer have steps like on those locomotives.

    Sad to see that this locomotive has been scraped as of Feb 10, 2021 Rip #701 All 7 locomotives are out of service with #703 also being scraped. Numbers 702, 704, 705, 706 are parked out of service in Landquart. #707 is being preserved and is parked out of service in Samedan.

    Could I make one or two suggestions which will make your videos more enjoyable. Firstly, try and position the camera so that the middle pillar of the window frame is not obstructing the picture. The shelf to the left in the picture would have been ideal. Secondly, set the zoom and leave it there. Zooming in and out changes the perspective and is not needed. Apart from these things, I enjoyed the trip though I have done it before in the train. Thanks and kind regards.

    Is there a speed indicator/speedometer somewhere in the cab? I can detect the acceleration by the sound of the motor, but it would be fun to see it's acceleration as the Engineer/Operator opens the throttle.

    • @DickHolman
      @DickHolman 7 лет назад

      Driver. Or Lokmiester or Lokfürer. :)
      To the right of the Driver on the control-desk is the train-brake, then the loco-brake. Above the train-brake is a large dial. The red marker @80kph is the maximum permitted speed.

  • @rajarams5988
    @rajarams5988 7 лет назад

    BTW, how is it that your trains run over points and crossings at such high speed.
    Usually there would be speed restriction when passing over points and crossings.

    Is this meter gauge? Or standard? I spoke too soon seems like meter gauge. I really like meter gauge railways. Unfortunately in Greece there are a ton of people who don't understand nor appreciate their unique nature. But there is still hope that our meter gauge railway will work once again.

    Whatever that clock thing that keeps ticking in the background is used for I don't know! What I do know is that there is a pretty good chance that it is useless and could be replaced by anything else that does not make that unbearable constant amount of irritating noise all the time! It honestly distracts from the otherwise magnificent sound that this machine is making!

    Interesting video, but please, waaaay fewer jump cuts. It's impossible to see much of anything if there's a complete change of perspective every 3 seconds, and with a 1 second transition, no less. The brain can't refocus that quickly. And I would hazard the guess that most people who watch this video don't need any "boring" bits cut out, they want to see everything. Thank you for the video nonetheless.

    With all due respect, that's not a freight train, more like a pick-up truck on rails. Also, I know Europe is at peace for the first time in 2500 years. But all I see is electric trains, should War ever break out again. Not likely but possible, one day of normal air attack, they would not have a railroad. At least with the English, Australian, American, and Canadian routes and lines could be disrupted but not whole systems. This is only a thought and not a criticism of their way of life.
