- For the 150th anniversary of Europe's first rack railway, the vintage 1873 steam locomotive No. 7 was brought back into active service in Central Switzerland for the 2021 season. This is the only operational cog steam loco with a vertical boiler.
Designed by legendary engineer Nicklaus Riggenbach for service on the scenic Vitznau - Rigi Bahn (VRB), the unique locomotive has attractive external drive gear and sometimes has also been nicknamed a "Destillery on Wheels", given the shape of its furnace. When not in service for special jubilee events at Mount Rigi, the locomotive is normally on static display at the Verkehrshaus in Lucerne.
This short film shows the unusual four-wheeler with just one driven axle power up the gradients between Rigi Staffel and Rigi Kulm in late May 2021.

Kurzfilm mit Impressinen zur legendären Rigi Lok Nr. 7 aus dem Jahre 1873, eine der ersten Maschinen aus der Schmiede der neugegründeten SLM. Die Lok stösst jeweils einen Vorstellwagen den Berg hoch, besonders beliebt ist das Mitfahren im "Körbli", gleich neben dem Kessel.

Very nice video of the Rigi Bahn, with the perfect weather! Excellent!
Thank you very much! In a way it is wonderfully sureal to see such an ancient locomotive with a vertical boiler run in such perfect condition almost 150 years later, still functioning almost like clockwork. The loco and its external drive are great fun to watch - and to listen to! Best wishes :)

Thanks, yes Mount Rigi maintains many remarkable attractions and the rack railway has a very diverse fleet of historic vehicles, representing pretty much every era and type since 1871.
Very interesting, the engine looks so nice in the mountain scenery :) Like.
Thanks, yes, the old locomotive Nr. 7 is quite an archaic machine and looks a bit like an alcohol distillery on wheels, with that vertical boiler :)
@@trainsandtrams2020 You´re right :D Anyway, watching it makes one feel so peaceful :)
These old vertical boiler locos are fantastic pieces of machinery. Thank goodness there are a few still in use.
