- New video, new line in 4K. We're looking at the Biel - La Chaux-de-Fonds railway today, which was opened to traffic on the 30th of April, 1874.
If you watched the La Chaux-de-Fonds - Neuchâtel - Bern video, you may recall a picture of the historic junction in Convers, following the second tunnel after leaving La Chaux-de-Fonds. That is where this line joined said line and where trains had to change direction to reach La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1888, the direct connection was completed, including the 1618 Meter Crosettes-Tunnel.
The original connection, which was kept for military purposes until 1895, was then given up.
Thanks to Andrea Lisa (the original Andrea) for recording this line for us.

Been to Switzerland 3 times, 1978, 1986 and 1991. My favourite country in Europe. Beautiful. Thank you.
Fantastic, the best scene was the appearance and parallel run with the other Thurbo train towards the end!
It always amazes me that the infrastructure of Swiss railways, including stations, are so open and not barricaded by highly ‘safe’ barriers and fences. How the livestock and wildlife, let alone children on their way to school, don’t fall foul of passing trains - when, eg, in the UK it seems overkill on safety fences are ‘de rigueur’ - confuses me. Great scenes and serenity! Thanks.
Thanks. Yes, I really appreciate how open everything is too, especially industrial areas. Public walkways and trails often cross private property and farms without there ever being the need for warning signs.
As an American, I noticed this too. I wonder if it has something to do with how much more common train travel is in so many European countries. Children there are probably raised to be careful around train tracks, much the same as kids in the U.S. are raised not to run into the street. We don’t put barricades on every road that has cars. I wish we had enough trains here to be more of the natural order of things.
Difference between Roman law and Napoleonic law. Under Roman law the state is responsible for protecting its citizens. Under Napoleonic law the citizen is responsible for looking after themselves. United Kingdom (and therefore US) code is based on principles of Roman law. Elsewhere in Europe Napoleonic law is the usual basis for the code (not Scandinavia). Obviously this is a gross simplification, but it does point to the fundamentals.
@@marcotaplin4239 maybe the Swiss have a little more common sense about these issues, after all they are liberal about Gun control and encourage, or require gun ownership. Nice video thank you.
Très juste. Même chose en France. Trop de barrière pour garder les gens et les protéger de leur betises
Awesome autumn views! Thx to you for posting it and Andrea Lisa for recording!
I am so grateful for these wonderful videos. I hope to go to Switzerland some day, but for now, this is great. Many, many thanks!
Great trip amazing mountain scenery and forests and valleys towns and villages and nice train race towards the end too Switzerland 🇨🇭😍 beautiful country
Great trip!!!Thank you for the video!!!Beautiful!
Stupendo come sempre, i miei ricordi agli anni 70, la vacanza a Biel e dintorni, presso una famiglia di amici italiani residenti, 2 mesi bellissimi
Yours is the best Swiss rail channel on TH-cam (though I like them all). Keep up the great work!
Many thanks!
Sehr schönes Video. Danke für's Mitnehmen 🙂
parfait,comme d 'habitude.merci,thank you
Great Video Scenery excellent would have liked this to have gone to Bienne/Biel but none the less brilliant as usual
Great video as usual , thanks !!!
End of the 1800 and beginning of the 1900 was a good period to be a tunnel contractor !!!!😉
Sehr schönes Video wo die beiden Züge zum Bahnhof fuhren Grüße aus Mexiko
dear lorirocks777, dear andrea ! thank you very very much !
Merci pour cette belle ballade ,super vidéo
I have been following your videos for the past two years and I have never been disappointed. Lovely and beautiful terrains, luscious greeneries, excellent footage, and much more. This video provides everything I said here and I am very delighted. My only wish is to visit Switzerland one day so I can experience the beauty of the country. Thank you for your work..!!
Thanks a lot!
Nice to see relaxed cows in the fields and signs of farming activities!
Eine wunderschöne spätherbstliche Fahrt durch das Vallon Saint-Imier - eine Strecke, die man als eher Ostschweizer weniger besucht. Herzlichen Dank und Gruss Remo
Vielen Dank :)
une bien belle vidéo parmi ces magnifiques paysages si reposants ! ( du JURA je pense ........ ) bravo à vous et merci !
Super video !👍👍⛰🌲🏘🚆🏘🌲⛰
Eu aqui no estado de Pernambuco no Brasil, assistindo estas belas imagens dá Suisa.
E eu aqui de Salto, SP também nessa viagem virtual.
@@cleantesalvesleitejr15 Amigo, eu acho o máximo, as paisagem da Europa.
Beautiful. How amazing.
Amazing..... This video is a stress buster.........!!
Great video!
Awesome cab ride..👍
Lorirocks a toujours de belles images à nous proposer avec l'avantage de voyager tout au long de l'année en Suisse sans billets et sans risque d'être contrôlé . Lol
Salutations de la France !
another great video
Gut und schön wie immer!
Thank you Andreas for taking me to another new part of Switzerland.
I was amused to see, a couple of stops before the end, two kids - on scooter and bike - hurtling along to beat the level-crossing boom. They didn't!
Also, it's great to see an undistorted video.
What do you mean by undistorted?
@@lorirocks777 One shot with straight line verticals and horizontals, on a full-size camera. GoPro cameras can, I believe, be adjusted to avoid curved distortion (called 'barrelling') but too frequently are not. I find unadjusted barrelling so unpleasant that after a few moments I stop watching.
As far as I can recall, the videos you present are near-enough free of barrelling, which is one reason why I keep watching. (The main reason is that the subject matter is so bloody good!) Today's video, shot by Andreas, was a fine example of what I'm talking about.
As a former photographer and videographer of railways I found that a lens focal length of less than 28mm was prone to barrelling. 16mm, "fish-eye", focal length is an extreme example of the distortion, and is useful only for "effects" stills, and dashcams.
That said, I can certainly appreciate that it's not always possible to set up a larger camera in a cab. A longer answer than I meant, but there it is.
Just keep posting, and I'll keep watching. Cheers from a wintry Australia, in lockdown here in Victoria.
Thanks for clarifying that. I usually refer to that as a fish eye effect.
Yes, I am saving up for a larger camera for low light situations.
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
By the way, I also dislike barelling in videos. Even this setting on the GoPro (called linear) isn't perfect. But it's the easiest way to equip drivers to make some recordings.
@@lorirocks777 Great to hear from you. Good luck with your camera purchase. I'm totally retired from capturing, I am a viewer only now, less strain on an 85 years-old bloke. Years ago, I travelled widely by train in UK, Italy, Switzerland. But you and Railway Emotions will keep introducing me to Swiss lines I've never seen before. And I love it. Good night.
Lindo lugar. Parabéns
Beautiful 💓
excellent cabview!!
Thanks
Kid on a scooter with his friend running with him 31:07. Great video.
Very good!
Switzerland is my dream country, I want to come and visit with my fiancée. I hope it will work out someday, maybe another vacation.
Super film
Nothing quite like a bit of Sonceboz-Sombeval!
😂 You still remember 😄
Good to hear from ya mate!

1874 is the 7th year of the Meiji era in Japan. The Meiji era is the year when the Tokugawa Shogunate ruled for 350 years and returned to the reign of the emperor.
I am grateful that I was able to feel the history of the Swiss railway from the explanation of the video.
And thanks to Mr.(? or Ms.?) Andrea Lisa for recording this video.
Thanks! It's Ms.
wow!👍
Thank you both for this - when a Moutier section runs slightly late, as it seems to here, does it still couple to the La Chaux section and continue to Biel or does it terminate and transfer its passengers across the platform? \m/
Good vidéo
Super! Thank you from Russian cabview 🇷🇺
oh! -- In Sonceboz-Sombeval ist schon Schluss . Jetzt wär's dann grad so schön geworden auf der Strecke nach Biel Mett oder Brügg und so weiter.
Es folt irgendwann ein Video von La Chaux-de-Fonds nach Biel
enjoyed this special travelog thank you for sharing . we appeal to the suisse consulate for permanent citizen status .
Encore une vidéo sur les beaux chemins de fer helvétiques
Petite question : quel est ce bruit qui s’arrête à chaque arrêt du train et qui reprend à la remise en traction? La ventilation? La climatisation?
At first glance it seems that the train has more than 120 km / h ..... for trains in Romania such a speed would be dizzying it would practically go straight on
Nice cab ride in the SWITZERLAND JURA but not certainly for the weather. Very interesting the two trains arriving at the station of SONCEBOZ at the same time.I guess it's like this everyday, too the train from LA CHAUX DE FONDS which final destination and the orher from MOUTIER which ? Thank you.
Hi, Andrea Lisa here. It was actually a very rare occasion, the two trains arriving at the same time. Normally, the other one from Moutier arrives first and the one from La Chaux-de-Fonds arrives second and couples with the first. Then they continue together to Biel
@@asilaerdna Thank you for your.answer and info.
Stunningly beautiful 🇨🇭 ❤👍☆
I see many authors collaborating with you, including those from France. It would be nice if Austrian machinists were involved. Would love to see the view from the cockpit Vienna - Zurich.
I drive in Austria and have a few trips filmed across the country
@@lorirocks777 👌👍
Traffic in season or for events must be considerable on this line? The platforms are about 12 passenger cars in length.
Jak masz krótkie trasy to nagrywaj wte i wte (z powrotem), inna jest perspektywa tzn widoki, pozdrawiam.
Quốc gia này có nhà ga xe lửa vang khách quá, đường sắt đơn chưa có đường sắt đôi hạ tầng cũng đơn sơ quá
An interesting trip that fills in the gap between two lines I've seen before. Is that a Stadler GTW? The wind seems to howl around the cab rather
Yes it is a GTW, ex RM, ex BLS. I explain the wind in the description.
muito legal ;;
Hi Lorirocks777, is it possible to get (once) a small video with a picture in picture, where you can see what the driver is doing? Thanks
A few videos like that are in the making
@@lorirocks777 Great, thanks
Most of these stations look abandoned? No workers or passengers, must be a weekend day? No traffic?
Класс
17:33 Holy smokes, was that a New York City subway train out of the 1970s with all that graffiti pulling into the station?
20:20 The results of a grade crossing elimination project. Plenty of those over the decades here in the United States.
That race into Sombeval at the end was reminiscent of what once took place on a daily basis between the arch-rival New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads coming OUT of Chicago, Illinois. Each line's premier all-Pullman trains--the "20th Century Limited" and the "Broadway Limited", respectively--departed eastbound from the Windy City at the same time operating on the same schedule--with New York City as the ultimate destination. For the first, I believe it was, six miles out of Chicago the two lines' rights-of-way paralleled each other. Company pride had each locomotive crew putting on the speed in an all-out effort to best the long-time rival. In this modern-day example, I can't believe the driver of the other train let a girl beat him. Just kidding, Original Andrea, just kidding!
Thank you both, Andrea Lisa and lorirocks, for providing us with this pleasant, pastoral passage through this part of beautiful Switzerland.
Interesting hearing that story of the two trains in Chicago.
I used to think they were racing too before I was a train driver myself. I think a seasoned driver is beyond that, and the speed difference is often a difference in the way 2 drivers drive.
In our case, according to the signalling, we only needed to brake to 60 km/h before the first set of points. Some drivers don't take advantage of that exception and brake to 60 before the entry signal.
@@lorirocks777 Definitely different times today as a locomotive engineer/driver than say 75, a hundred-years ago. Company rivalries have disappeared; safety through obedience of the rules is now the name of the game.
In addition to the differences between how two drivers handle their charges, other factors figuring in to who "wins" might be track condition, how each train is routed into the depot, the decision to slow or even hold a consist so two trains don't reach the platforms at the same time, et cetera. Also, would not be surprised to learn that the two trains' meet in you presentation was pure happenstance rather than something that was worked into the timetables.
In the French part of Switzerland.
first!
