I think this 750 mm gauge is more beautiful than the standard one, its unique & efficient. Its really beautiful to see the rail in rural areas. I really love that
Обожаю движение поезда! Даже запах топлива чувствую, шум колёс и вздохи двигателя - я. Еду , я в пути, гляжу во все глаза, впитываю все то, что вижу! Внутри радость от движения и и полёта фантазии - что там впереди? Каждый раз я хочу там находиться, жить среди этих людей, дышать с ними одним воздухом! Круто! Удачи тебе машинист! Я слежу за твоей работой!🤩👍
Extremely well maintained tracks and trains. It looks perfect, so trains can run at high speed for a narrow gauge. All crossings are protected with lights and gates. It looks so good.
In Poland we have slower trains on more open routes. The main reason is (apparently) high chance of collision with road vehicles on level crossings so why is it working in Switzerland so flawlessly?
@@spiderous Just have to teach car & lorry drivers common sense. A lot of our 🇬🇧 level crossings are half barrier with up to 85mph/138kph line speed. It's very rare for an accident in the UK. In 31 years I never came close to hitting anybody. Now America, where many motorists are really stupid, they have accidents almost daily at a much lower speed.
One of the appeals narrow-gauge railways hold (for me) is their ability to "shoehorn" into places that would be near impossible for a standard-gauge line. Here, there is the added bonus of extensive in-the-street/side-of-the-road operating so reminiscent of the trolley/interurban routes that once ran throughout rural America a century ago. (Today's nanny-staters here in the U.S. would be absolutely apoplectic over how "openly and inherently dangerous this operation is to pedestrian and automobile traffic alike.") I don't know why, but when Swiss railways come to mind this is the sort of thing I envision. Well done, Lorirocks, well done.
@Dr Moriarty A rail route map from a century ago for just about any state in the Union would reveal how possible it was for people and merchandise to readily travel from one place to another. Only in the case of a sparcely-populated Nevada would one see a minimum of rail lines. Additionally, states such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa all had extensive interurban systems; places like New York less so but such service did exist. A number of operations were lost when General Motors (manufacturer of buses), Firestone (tires), and Standard Oil (gasoline) conspired to buy up electric railroads (interurban and trolley) and "busitute" service as quickly as possible. Politicians played their part, too. Southern California had arguably the greatest interurban system, Pacific Electric, ever built. Elected officials allowed every foot of track to be torn out, with highways (ones that today are clogged on a daily basis) laid along a number of PE routes. Densely populated Chicago-Milwaukee was served by the CNS&M: it all went to the scrapper after the road quit in 1961. Numerous other examples of transportation short-sightedness exist. Today, not at any level of government (federal/state/city), is there a dedicated plan to promote the most fuel-efficient means for transporting humans and goods: steel wheels turning on steel rails. And yet, "experts" say we must get off of fossil fuels, give up our cars, and...do what? Yes, progress indeed.
@@michaela.chmieloski3196 Unfortunately it's less GM/Firestone/Standard Oil conspiracy and more just bad management by interurban companies in a market that is inherently unprofitable. A lot of interurban lines, especially in rural areas, would never have been able to break even, let alone return a profit for their shareholders, and most began to go into receivership by the early 1920s. The Great Depression killed off those that remained: even successful interurbans like Pacific Electric and the Insull Railways (North Shore Line, South Shore Line, and Chicago, Aurora & Elgin) went bankrupt in the early 1930s as revenue dropped. Pacific Electric was closing lines from the mid-1920s onward, and struggled to fund improvements that would've reduced congestion; originally the Los Angeles freeways were built with space in the medians for electric railways, but these were never utilised and have since been taken over by yet more lanes for cars. Americans have always been averse to paying the higher taxes that would be necessary to fund local infrastructure, and American governments (of both sides) have always been pro-business. Without extensive investment and public ownership, the interurbans never stood a chance. After WWII the focus shifted to the automobile, and at every level of government there was a push towards the suburbs, with the Interstate Highway System being developed as the biggest public works program in the nation's history. Meanwhile the railroads remained privately-owned, with regulations that limited how they could set rates, and taxation disincentives to upgrade their infrastructure (and it didn't help that the taxes paid by the railroads directly funded airports and highways).
Michael A. Chmieloski .have you seen La Grange.that is street running at its best.seems to work ok,the odd mishap,but what do you expect with humans that just are not awake whenthey should be..🙄
The train rides that seem to go right through the middle of small towns and in people's backyards are great to watch. The Switzerland scenery is always great to view. Thanks for this great ride in a part of the world that I will never see in real life.
Really interesting to see what seems to be a tram sytle signalling system in use on what is sort of an interubran railway. Just amazing really. The Swiss know how to do public transport.
Indeed the railroad does run too close the roads. I just hate to think that an out of control car might swerve right in the path of an oncoming train. That's scary! 😨
Great to see this. Travelled on it many times while living in Langenbruck - the next village at the top of the pass. Miss it lots but at 80 I don't think I'll be back again. Pity!
Thank you for posting this video. The line holds fond memories. In summer 1981, my family and I were visiting Switzerland on holiday. My father phoned my school to find out the results of my school exams. The grades were good enough that I met the demands required to study at university. (The English system at the time was that the university would offer a place on condition that a student achieved certain grades.) To celebrate, we went on a little excursion from Basel St. Jakob, where we were staying, to Waldenburg. My parents even bought me a little souvenir plate as a memento, which I still have. The Waldenburgerbahnli has a place in my heart.
Thanks for documenting this ahead of the giant rebuild. This is the difference between Switzerland and many other countries where this line would have been just simply shut down and completely replaced with buses ...

They're just going to re-gauge it to metre gauge. 750 mm is a really uncommon gauge and so all the rolling stock is bespoke, driving up the price. But if it was metre gauge you could just run e.g. regular Zurich tram equipment on it.
@@UltimateAlgorithm 1000 mm is pretty common in Switzerland, both for alpine railways and also for trams. I don't think they would go for 1067 as that's not common at all there - I'm not aware of any Swiss railway that uses that gauge.
Great Video this loved this one a quaint little journey and it looked like he was top bombing down the line shame they going to get rid of the narrow Guage line though be curious to see this at 1000mm track
A very pleasant ride. The track bed does look as though it was built somewhat in the expectation that it would one day be widened to a Metre gauge track?
I traveld some beautiful small villages(Appenzell, Maienfeld, Schaffhausen, Stein am Rhein..) from Zurich by trains last September. I'm so happy to see beautiful scenery of Swiss here again! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you have a fantastic New Year!
We used to have two 750mm railway lines here in Norway too. Sadly we have closed so many railway lines here in Norway. Closed 750mm, 1000mm, 1067mm and 1435mm. If our government really wants people to live in the rural areas (as they proclaim) they would keep railway lines open. As these provide a cheap, efficient mode of transport for people and cargo between the rural areas and the cities.

It's so nice to be able to take a train ride and see how beautiful Switzerland is, without leaving the comfort of your sofa. 🛋 But, I see you have a graffiti problem like we do here in the USA. 😏 🇺🇸
Its a shame there is not so many narrow gauge railways left in the world now. Fore my self its like you are seeing the real country and towns around you.nice job.
Lovely pleasant ride through small towns & villagers, but the end is coming for this 750mm gauge line before its conversion to a 1000mm and larger trains. I wonder if the "neighbours to the line" will appreciate more noise and the closeness of the trains to their properties is going to be?
I'm guessing you're American? Although many European trains run fast, the speed limits on the roads are also a lot higher than you may be used to if you are from the USA.
Wenn man schon die ganze Strecke umbaut, warum hat man die Bahn zwischen Hölstein und Niederdorf nicht nach Westen und die Strasse nach Osten verlegt, um die beiden Niveauübergänge der Hauptstrasse zu eliminieren? Hier wurden Nägel ohne Köpfe gemacht!
At 4:16 the rail joint dosn't makes sense to me, I almost popped when I say that scene and thought the train will de-rail but it did not. Did I see something wrong-The rail track was NOT joined??? I'm still confused if it's really an illusion at all??? That scene broke my confident in this video to be real...did others also observed that?
My dear, it looks like this route is about to become historic. Recently, you have other video stories in the opposite direction. Is there a video in the opposite direction-is it the same story? If not, would you like to enlighten your subscribers? Thanks!
No: all that will happen is that line can have more modern, and properly accessible, trains which, because the Swiss have other metre-gauge lines, will be less expensive than specially made trains to suit this narrower gauge.
The Waldenburgerbahn (the German name sounds more appealing, I think) is a predominately single track line that uses passing loops so that trains can pass each other. Those loops use turnout points that can be run through when making what's called a 'trailing movement', that is, two tracks converging into a single track. The points are designed to return to their default position by the use of spring components. In fact, in North American they're referred to as 'spring points'. This allows the trains to enter and leave a passing loop without any other sensing and activation mechanisms involved. There's a number of RUclips examples of these points in various tram systems.

The speed seems high for a narrow gauge train, but the railway seems perfect too, rails well aligned and very soft curves. Excellent video. :-)

Look at 4:15 the minute you can see the tracks for the train from the left. Why doesn't the right train with a camera crash when it passes?
Because, being a light railway (a.k.a. tram), the train can “push” the points to suit its path, the way trams do.

There shouldn’t be much difference; these trains are very similar to the ones on the metre gauge anyway, and, being newer, should be quieter.

At 4:16 the rail joint dosn't makes sense to me, I almost popped when I say that scene and thought the train will de-rail but it did not. Did I see something wrong-The rail track was NOT joined??? I'm still confused if it's really an illusion at all???
That scene broke my confident in this video to be real...did others also observed that?
It's a spring loaded switch apparent by the green sign on the switch lantern. See other comments on this.
Welch ein Zufall, diese Strecke sind wir im Sommer 2016 mit den Motorrädern entlang gefahren. Bei 16:12 machten wir eine Rast. 😃
Danke für das tolle Video und die Info, dass ein Umbau bevorsteht - ist noch nicht bis zu mir vorgedrungen :>)

My dear, it looks like this route is about to become historic.
Recently, you have other video stories in the opposite direction.
Is there a video in the opposite direction-is it the same story?
If not, would you like to enlighten your subscribers?
Thanks!
This is the only video I have of this route.
lorirocks777 Well, would you like to make a video in the future in the opposite direction-is this the same story for your subscribers?
Thanks!
Yes, that video will come eventually =)
I just released the opposite direction
I love the view from the train...
What a wonderful railway. If they convert it to a larger gauge, will it be moved to avoid the road traffic I wonder?
No: all that will happen is that line can have more modern, and properly accessible, trains which, because the Swiss have other metre-gauge lines, will be less expensive than specially made trains to suit this narrower gauge.
Beautiful city 💖👍👌
Sehr Dichte Bebauung in den Städten.Sie können sogar einen Kaffee mit dem Lokführer der Eisenbahn trinken, ohne das Haus zu verlassen.)))
Спасибо. Очень красивое видео. Правда, такое ощущение, что это трамвай :-))
شكرا لك thank you 👍👍👍gooood
Now that's a nice old Mercedes 21:16. And that may possibly have been an MGA a little earlier, 10:11, or possibly a Healey
I like your attention to details =)
Beautiful.......
Welcome I see in this full vedio beautiful Train .root .
Bom vídeo.
Must wants to ride with family.👌💖
20:48 can someone please explain me that..
That's totally against track switching mechanism...
See comments about 4:15
Там везде такой механизм переключения стрелок...
There’s such a track switch mechanism everywhere ..
@@tims6845 dude I recommend you to go and watch how switches works.look for it on RUclips..
The Waldenburgerbahn (the German name sounds more appealing, I think) is a
predominately single track line that uses passing loops so that trains can pass each other. Those loops use turnout points that can be run through when making what's called a 'trailing movement', that is, two tracks converging into a single track. The points are designed to return to their default position by the use of spring components. In fact, in North American they're referred to as 'spring points'. This allows the trains to enter and leave a passing loop without any other sensing and activation mechanisms involved. There's a number of RUclips examples of these points in various tram systems.
Its a spring switch trains going opposite direction always line up to the right .
