★ 4K 🇨🇭Geneva - Bern - Lucerne cab ride, speeds up to 200km/h [07.2020]

- Thanks for joining us in looking at another of Switzerland's main lines, in amazing weather. This video is a testimony to Swiss engineering, precision & dedication to quality (although many still find enough to complain about, haha).
If you watched the recent Geneva - Bern - Zürich trip, we'll be on the same line for the first 43 minutes of the video before turning off towards Lausanne and Bern in Denges-Echandens, only this time with reduced speeds as we're not in a tilt train. The most beautiful part is arguably the section between Lausanne & Palézieux overlooking the lake of Geneva whilst passing through hillsides covered in vineyards and traditional Swiss houses.
Enjoy the changing scenery as we make our way towards the capital, Bern and enter the station from an uncommon direction for an InterCity train (most trains enter and leave from the same side - Bern used to be a terminus station).
After Bern we'll hit up the "Bahn 2000" line, the only open track in Switzerland allowing speeds of 200km/h. Our train is the only train on the high speed line to bypass Olten, by taking the route towards Aarburg-Oftringen in Rothrist and then a connecting track to the line Sursee - Luzern, which was famously built during World War II to allow direct trains between Bern and Luzern in the case of an emergency.
Towards Luzern, some dark storm clouds create a special atmosphere as we approach our final stop. Today's locomotive is an SBB Re 460 "Lok 2000" produced between 1992 - 1996, of which 119 were produced and form the backbone of SBB's standard push-pull long distance rolling stock. They are currently going through a modernisation program to allow a further 20 years of service, including new traction converters, which changes the drive sound. The locomotive we are in today is still in it's original form, meaning you will be hearing the old traction converters working their magic.
Next to the station names, I’ve included altitude in meters. The maximum allowable speeds are also shown on the bottom right of the screen as they come into effect. On a number of occasions where the speed is limited due to signalling, the signal colours are shown at the top right of the screen. This is to help viewers make sense of the different colour combinations.
As we pass junctions, I have included purple comments on available videos in the respective directions. These videos are (or will be) linked below for your convenience.
I have included all gradients I was able to make out for those who are interested. They are shown in the top right corner with a promille value (1/10%), as they are displayed to drivers.

Swiss rail is truly a world leader in engineering. I'm in awe at the smoothness and calmness of the system. The banked curves and the lack of annoying alarms, bells, dings, clacks, rattles and train horns or whistles just leaves room for a smooth hum. I wished we had this in the USA Seeing the ride from the front is also a nice treat. So much beautiful scenery.
Dear viewers. This video was shot and edited in 4K. TH-cam has somehow failed to finish processing the 4K version. I will reupload this video in the hope of reaching 4K quality in the coming weeks.
Yes, long video, we hope that 4K will open, I see that high-speed expensive in 4K is just what you need. I wish you good luck in your work.
How long does it take from 10880p to 4K?
That's great, you make really nice videos!
@@kaholeung8496 Sometimes up to a week :-/
I will never give up checking this video until I see 4k! :D
As an extremely anxious person, I've discovered that watching these sorts of train journeys have been tremendously successful in keeping me calm and stress-free these last few months. Thanks for these vids, it means a lot, and the beautiful scenery makes me want to visit and ride these rails when things improve globally. Greetings from Canada.
So glad they have been a help. I used to watch many myself as a child and now it's a real pleasure to produce them.
I’m here in the US(New Jersey). I find these train videos from Europe really relaxing. The scenery in Norway is also amazing. So many old tunnels and mountains lakes etc. Seems you can find anything on TH-cam.

Hello , can you do the lausanne brig line ? thank you :)
wow
Thank you!
I used to wonder "are people really watching these?" - Now I've been sitting here glued to the screen for over 2 hrs. And i know these lines, I'm from Bern.
I actually decided if someday i don't find any more work as a programmer, I'll do the re-schooling to train driver ;)
That's awesome =)
@@lorirocks777 muito veloz não consegui curtir as belas imagens valeu
Möchte mich ❤- lich bedanke die alle an der grossen ,gewaltigen Arbeit von Schienebbau...Elekt.u.s.w.dabei waren ,fleissig!Ingieneure...ect.
CAPO❣❣❣👏👏👏
2:05:13 kudos to the engineers for making sure those switch points worked flawlessly.
That was the smoothest switch and perfect timing I have ever seen..
I started looking at the Swiss Railways. I am delighted. Amazing country. It would be better if I had not seen this splendor, this standard of life. Thank the author! All the best in life!
Thanks, same to you!
Danke für diese wunderbare Führerstandsmitfahrt ☀️
👋 Hello! :)
Thank you very much for this beautiful trip . Best regards from Bulgaria.👍
Amazing. If we here in the states had 1/3 Of the infrastructure and sophistication in high speed rail it would eventually (I say eventually because we're addicted to cars and killing ourselves with polllution) be a game changer.
You can see it is an infrastructure that is important. I would love to come ride this train. Thank you for this.
This ride is definitely, one my favourites! Very beautiful. Also, I like how you inserted the highlight reel at the end. Many thanks. Great work!
Thanks! I did that so the video links at the end wouldn't cover the video.
I love these rides. The longer the better! Thanks for your hard work providing me a vacation in my living room!!!!
Thanks for your nice comment. I have some 8 hour trips recorded.. just have to get round to editing them.
@@lorirocks777 can’t wait!!!!
Loved this trip! Thanks to Brad for filming and to you that show us your amazing country
Thank you
OMG.......Memories....Bern/Lucern RS75 Emmen and back every weekend.....Thank you.
There is so much to enjoy in this wonderful journey but the highlight for me is the part between Lausanne and Puidoux-Chexbres, that takes us through the Lavaux vineyards. It would be great to see this stretch from the other direction sometime in the future. Thank you lorirocks777 and Brad for another superb video!
Thank you :-)
Mit Abstand die beste Führerstandsmitfahrt auf diesem Kanal 👍🏼 Top wetter, Top Landschaft, sehr gute Videoqualität und viele zusätzliche Infos in 3 sprachen. Weiter so!
Besten Dank
I find your cab ride videos to be the best in this class. Bravo.
Thanks for your feedback. The reupload has made it to 4K and the quality is much better: th-cam.com/video/1kgmgDbHg1g/w-d-xo.html
Amazing ride! Many places so beautiful. Very interesting!!
No complaints ,haha , as usual another great and enjoyable trip thank you for sharing .
Wonderful journey ,great rail network ,cheer's bob.
Thanks for providing all the additional details on the branch lines, track speed, signal indications. I find them fascinating.
Glad that they're appreciated. Thanks!
@@lorirocks777 yes,I loved it.all the names and lengths of the tunnels,viaduct all just perfect.
Can you please tell me what the beeping sound is???
What a way to spend three hours! Hypnotic at hyper speed.
Tres belle vidéo avec de beaux paysage merci a la personne qui fait la vidéo
Wieder einmal ein beeindruckendes Video, sehr informativ und mit schönen Landschaftsaufnahmen. Und unterwegs wurde sogar die Frontscheibe der Lok geputzt. Danke, nicht nur dafür. Liebe Grüße vom Niederrhein.
Nice Trip and awesome indications of ride, the Map is also welcome even when knowing Swiss geography !
Amazing!! We love your vídeos!!👏👏👏👏👏🚞❤
Many thanks!
Piękna trasa,Bardzo dobry film.Moje uznanie...
Wir haben ein schönes Schinennetz!
Ihr lieben Lokiführer ,allen viel Glück und Freude! Hebt Euch Sorge!👍😘
Enjoyed this , as always. I hope you can find the opportunity to record the route from Bern to Luzern via the Entlebuch valley. Not so fast or so long but great landscape. Then there is the line from Herisau (St. Gallen ) to Arth Goldau . A lifetime's work!
tolle Mitfahrt und Danke für die ganzen Angaben von Geschwindigkeiten usw :-)
Danke sehr
Thank you for the video. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. This time this period I was hopping trains in Switzerland 🇨🇭. I wish I could come back soon to visit other parts of Switzerland with my family.
Werter Herr! Es gefällt mir, wie Sie die Highlight-Rolle am Ende eingefügt haben. Vielen Dank.
Herzliche Grüße aus Bad Vöslau in Niederösterreich!
Great cabview video!!
Very nice that we got to see a little bit of everything on this ride.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again for a great journey. I just love the relaxed approach you Swiss have to lineside fences, (or absence thereof). Even in high speed sections there are foot/cycle paths just a few metres from the track. You are a very cool people.
I'm reminded of first arriving in Lucerne from Rome. Having learned there to survive the chaos of marked pedestrian crossings by waiting, then plunging into a gap, when outside the Lucerne station, I paused momentarily at the crossing, and was astounded to see all traffic glide to a halt. Wonderful!
Yeah, I really appreciate that about Switzerland too.. that many places that would be fenced off and closed to the public in other countries are open and there is just a general trust that people will do the right thing. I hope that trust won't be abused in the future.
Thanks for your feedback. The reupload has made it to 4K and the quality is much better: th-cam.com/video/1kgmgDbHg1g/w-d-xo.html
@@lorirocks777 how do you know which track to use?
Excellent video,danke.
Another great cab ride. I travelled on the Olten to Lucerne section last year when I went to Switzerland for Christmas.
Thanks!
Hermoso viaje 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 💕💕💕💕🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱👏👏👏👏
Thank you for explaining what the signs and signals mean!
There are two numbers on each of those gradient signs. Which of them is the grade, and what does the other number mean?
1:15:21 - A bug hits the windscreen.
Great video !!
Stupenda la marcia parallela e il sorpasso !!!!
Großartige Aufnahme!
Lovely ride! Between the airport and Geneva, you crossed 2 ICN trains back to back within a span of a minute. That seemed little awkward, I couldn't even find the services in the SBB timetable at that time. I loved the parallel with the ICN before Lausanne. Even the Bern arrival and departure was fun! Thank you for posting :)
Thanks! I'll ask about which ICNs they could've been.
For the 2 ICN between Geneva Airport and Geneva, I think that there is one of them is a "no passengers service" that will do a second unit for the next IC5 service 😉
Parabéns pelo vídeo 👏, 👏.👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 belíssimas paisagens. Top.💚 💛 💚 💛 💚 💛 💚 💛 💚 💛 💚 💛 💚 💛
Thank you!
Switzerland has the best railway and passenger transport system in the world, without question.
You can say that again~👍👍👍
So many people in such a little space makes it economically viable. I was playing with country sizes in the Real Size Of website; you can fit all of Switzerland into one little corner of southwestern Saskatchewan that has about 30,000 people living there.
Japans rail network is good as well
Don't forgot Holland ;)
I have the weakness to think that Japan can be considered as the Switzerland of the Far East (although a bit too strict for my taste… despite a certain art of living, it is more difficult to live there so serenely! )
I love this so much
Beautiful trip
brilliant!!!
I spent a few weeks in Fribourg/Freiburg in 1973 with a bunch of people from Norway, Finland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Egypt, UK, etc. doing a data communications programming course. The instructor was a South African and it was taught in English. It must have been difficult for one of the Finns who couldn't speak a word of English. He was a very good drinker, but, and taught us a few drinking songs. The reason that I'm commenting here is that there was a very good restaurant at the railway station. Silver service, white linen table cloths and napkins, waiters in formal waiter dress, the sommelier and the maitre d wore suits. Very good food at reasonable prices. I'm told that all the railway station fine dining restaurants are gone. That's very sad.
Your vídeos are quite good.Better explained than other countries vídeos.Thank you.

Einfach Spitze Daumen ganz weit nach Oben
So Charming video.may u live long,dear Brother....
Bellisimo excelente imagen👏👍✋ de Argentina
Não e Argentina e países europeu eles mostra no mapa
Really cool!!
Excellent. Is Rose' the 'summit' of the line? there seems to be a large railway workshop there possibly for servicing helper engines in the past uncoupled here at the top of the hill? Is the very long platforms at Bern to allow for two trains to use the platform at once? Similar to the two trains on the same track in a station seen later on. There looks like 'Thunder in the mountains' (song) as we get close to our destination.
Finalmente neste video tu mostra a frente da locomotiva que vai puxar esta composicão.
Richtig toll, danke
Beautyful!!!!
Super video
надо этот youtube поездом переехать, так издеваются. буду ждать 4к, спасибо за вашу работу. извините что по русски, немецкий не знаю )))
Belleza !!!
I hope one day i can work at switzerland

Precioso ❣️😍

Fantastic
Thanks heaps Brad.
Curto muito esses vídeo s de trem.
Top video 👍😍
Bern has the longest platforms I have ever seen!
They are building a new underpass and underground station in Bern. To build while the train station is in use, they are just closing one plattform at the time to build a part of the passage under it. To do that with the same capacity, they made plattform 9/10 longer. So it is only temporary.
Diese Landschaft... ☺️
1:58:14 Naturally you'd want to stop here, you have a *Bern-ing* (burning) desire for this station! 😁😁😁
Bellissimo video complimenti! Le ferrovie svizzere sono sempre al top, tenute molto bene!
Fantastico l'affiancamento dei due convogli e il sorpasso prima della stazione di Losanna.
Paesaggi del lago Lemano e del lago di Lucerna molto belli, la Svizzera è sempre molto bella.
Attendo con impazienza il video definitivo con qualità migliore.
Bravi e grazie!
Bravo e grazie.
Thank you. Your video is bright. I also like to eat cheese from Switzerland: Appenzell and to enjoy chocolate: Toblerone
Eine schöne Reise quer durch die Schweiz. Genau das richtige nach einem anstrengenden Tag ☺
Merci pour la longue vidéo que je suis en train de la regarder.
Est ce que la gare de Bern a été rénovée quand exactement?
fantástica viagem!
Please do more high speed rides!!🙏🏻I‘ve never seen you go through the Lötschberg for example
Maybe he doesn't. SBB train drivers are attached to a depot and drive trains that go through the depot location. The Lötschberg might just not be a route his depot serves.
@@Xoron I can only hope so.. It is a 10 minute tunnel but its still high speed.. I wish he will do it once..
Красота. У домов , прилегающих к ж.д., повышенная звукоизоляция . В стеклопакетах три стекла.
Perfect realisation ! Cngr
21 Times a day..
Really liked revisiting the map as the train transversed its route--doing so gave a better overall sense of where one was in the journey. Perhaps a bit more often, as when making every station stop or while in one of the longer tunnels?
0:45:11 Chasing that second consist was pretty neat. If only a steam locomotive were on the head end...
1:58:33 Is that employee violating Rule G?! And while operating a track vehicle, no less.
2:56:29 Former/unused location of Luzern station?
2:58:34 Give it up, kid, you're never going to catch that pigeon.
0.45 is my favorite in the whole journey.
A beautiful ways
1:15 Temporal anomaly seems to have made the windshield dirty. Must have been one of those mini black holes from nearby CERN in Geneva.
This video brought back happy memories for me of my time in Switzerland in 1981. Unfortunately a bug hit the windscreen at 1:15:22 and too close to the field of view.
I thought that with that stain we would go to Lucerne itself. It's good that the windshield was washed or wiped in Fribourg😏
All the way long I hear some seagull song. No wait, that chair seat squeaking. 😂
Once it's officially opened, can you do a cab ride that involves the new Eppenbergtunnel? I know your last Olten - Zurich isn't that old, but I am curious how things have changed.
Of course. I'd like to do a video of the building progress over the years followed by a trip through the tunnel.
Tolles Video!
Und warum gibt es so viele ehemalige Stationen?
Warum wurden sie geschlossen?
Danke. Ich vermute zu wenig Passagiere und die erhöhte kapazität der Strecke ohne Regionalzüge.
Hey, lorirocks, I forgot. First, thank you, Brad, for filming this beautiful ride, it's much appreciated. Second, any idea if the old Vauderens Tunnel was capped? Just curious if it is still accessable for a walk through (though one would likely need to trespass on private property to reach either portal.)
It was filled :-/
@@lorirocks777 Thanks, lorirocks. That explains why I couldn't spot either portal on Google Earth. Keep the videos coming.
Switzerland 🇨🇭 I like it 👍🏻

Great opbelt.. amazinh@
Sehr gut
When you put on screen for example _Les Tuileries (up arrow) 388m_ does that mean the height of the station above sea level?
Correct
Your video seems to be helpful for someone who wants to be realistic on train simulator world 3 S-Bahn Zentralschweiz S1 Sursee Luzern Baar Rabe 523 route. Train protection system wise is the train running on European Train control or national Zugsbeeinflussung 121-123 Integra Signum or not? Which is actually the final 20 minutes of the video
love it, camera used?
Danke
