OBERALP Glacier Express Swiss Railway Reichenau to Andermatt RhB FO MGB GEX 1962

This evolving route was captured in the 1962, operated over 1m gauge lines by Rhaetian then Furka Oberalp railways, the latter partially employs Abt rack on steeper sections. The subsequent FO Glacier Express route onwards to Furka and Brig features in my separate 1978 film • FURKA Glacier Express ...

Yes, though sixties Swiss electric seems pretty modern, it was a glimpse of the future back then. More Alpine routes each Friday.

Wonderful piece of filming.😅

[@100dampf]

Quite fascinating. I don't think I have ever seen so much footage of of the old Oberalp station
Kinda hard to tell, but after the galery at 5:00, that must be the line that has been replaced with the Oberalp II tunnel

[@AlanSnowdonArchive]

Thanks for mentioning and your superior local knowledge... I hadn't spotted that.
