- A Cab Ride Up The Vitznau Rigi Railway - Europe's First Mountain Railway.
We travel on one of the new Stadler built trains and pass some of the older trains. We see some amazing views of the snow capped Alps and surrounding area.

Nice sharing it Henry. I love to see these videos, as you cannot ride them all yourself. Thank you 😀
You're welcome! Thank you very much! :) I've got a few more similar videos on the way.
I can only imagine what this looks like when it snows. Beautiful scenery. ❤❤
Thank you for watching! :)
Fascinating! Spitze! I don’t normally enjoy ‘rear view’ type videos featuring railways but this one was entirely appropriate, exciting and informative ! With the rear view I could really appreciate the steep climb. When we passed the modern substation with all the convention vdntiltstion grilled I could almost feel the humming from the 1.5kV rectifiers and heat from the transformers as we passed. It’s over 50 years since I last rode on this line with my late friend who was one of the Curators at the Lucerne Railway Museum…he insisted we go up together (we travelled in the front of the train) and we had a fabulous time in the glorious mid-June weather. Many thanks and I really enjoyed the backwards view trip…with excellent videography! Rob in Bournemouth, England.
Thank you for watching and I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Interesting reading of your trip 50 years ago.
Are you referring to the white building next to Romiti Felsentor Station?
What I think is a substation is the building on the right @ 14.43 minutes into the climb. It’s placed to provide the maximum current in the double track section and the air vents suggest to me there’s at least a number of air cooled rectifier panels inside! It would be interesting to know what the average load is on this section.
Very many years ago I looked after a standard gauge electrified railway (no steep gradients!) on the Isle of Wight off the south coast of England which used former London Underground trains running on with 3rd rail 750V d.c., this railway was re-quipped with more modern trains recently. Thanks for a truly superb video. Regards, Rob in Bournemouth.
Such a beautiful video that I could sit down for hours watching over and over again. Such breath taking scenery. I'm getting on a bit in years and find walking a bit more of a struggle but I would love to walk back down at my own pace. Like all of your videos this one was excellent.
Thank you very much! I'd love to walk back down one day and see a few trains on the way. I hope to make more videos like this in the future.
O my word what a train ride. Magnificent. Some beaitiful houses on the way up. What views........
Thank you very much for watching! Its a lovely railway.
Absolutely fantastic. Beautifully made video.
Thank you very much!
Nice. Very nice. I like it.
Thank you very much!
Lucky to have ridden this line a few years ago with the steam loco, then down on the other line to Arth Goldau. Excellent view looking back!
Thank you for watching! They're both things I'd love to do in the future.
Been up here a couple of times, once in the spring snow and once in the summer. Fantastic ride, walked back down some of the way.
Thank you for watching! I'd love to do this Rigi Bahn in the Spring or Summer and walk back down.
WOW...WOW....WOW. MAGNIFICENT PRESENTATION. THANKYOU
You're welcome! Thank you very much!
This view is actually very interesting to watch because you really see clearly the steep gradient of this line.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it 👍
Thank you very much! Glad to hear! :)
Nice to see the older trains still running. I went in 2011. They have 2 steam locos and the original vertical boiler loco was in the museum in Luzern. The first 6 locos were vertical locos. It was originally 2 companies that merged in 1992, formally VRB and ARB. Electrified in 1906 for ARB and VRB some 31 years after. The current steam locos 16 and 17 were built in 1923 and1925
Thank you for watching and the info. I'd love to see the steam locos running!
I spent many summers on Rigi, first in an apartment at Rigi-Staffel, then at Felsentor Zendo. Too old to travel to Europe now. I wept all the way to the summit to see these beloved views. Thank you. Please do another in summer, and show your audience the views from Staffel and summit. Is the awful white tent/auditorium gone from Staffel? I couldn't see it, but maybe from the snow.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories. I'd like to visit Switzerland again soon. I did film a couple of other videos on this trip which I'll publish at some point.
Thank you for the explanation notes.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Nice trip, many thanks.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
spectacular
Thank you for watching!
The line up Rigi was the first mountain railway that I experienced in Switzerland. It was in 1966 and I was living in Zürich at the time so went to Arth-Goldau and up the other line. However, it was February and both the lines had to terminate at Rigi Staffel as from onwards the snow was so thick that the lines were both impassable. So it was shank's pony for the last bit to Rigi Kulm.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories. Interesting to read.
21 like very nice video so beautifully my new friends
Thank you very much!
Schoen gemacht Klasse❤❤ 13:26 13:29
Thank you very much! :)
Very nice video
Thank you!
How about those lower few switch tracks?!! They just bend the rails on a set of sliding ties! Wow.
Thank you for watching! It seems like they do just bend!
Thanks!
Thank you very much! That's very kind of you!
henry dein movie zum friday war wieder sehr good jetzt wishe i dir ein nice wochenend geniese es
Thank you!
I tylko pomyśleć, jaki do budowy był użyty sprzęt, poza łopatami, oskardami i siłą mięśni ,,fizyków''
Thank you for watching! I agree, it must have been hard work!
Una ferrovia turistica che, tecnicamente, ha una caratteristica: e' a scartamento normale (1435 mm). Normalmente sono.di.1000 o 800 mm.
Thank you for watching! I agree, most railways like this are not standard gauge. The only one I can think of is The Cog Wheel Railway in Budapest.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching!
We call the drag lifts T bars.
Thank you for watching and letting me know. That makes sense to call them T bars.

All of TH-cam is a form of clickbait. Your comment is itself a form of clickbait.
