034 SPECIAL on the Gotthard Railway - Re460 - Crocodile - Steam - Ae 8/14 - EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE

Since 1994, we have visited the Gotthard railway line and made
filmrecordings. In this film, many special recordings have been
brought together. Especially in 1997, when the Swiss railways
celebrated their 150th anniversary, we were on hand to film some
rare and special footage.
In Erstfeld Station you will see the changing of historical electric
locos, including the famous "Crocodile". The historical Gotthard-
Expresses were recorded passing the spirals of Wassen, hauled by
historical electric locos or steam engines, all double or even triple
headed.
Beside the historical trains, there is a great variety of modern
trains in different liveries and unexpected combinations.
