- Welcome to the first Seetal Cab ride on youtube. This is a unique line in many ways. For starters, the line is constructed much like that of a tramway, with many intersections without barriers and reduced clearance for standard rolling stock due to the close proximity of the road. Usually tramways of this caliber feature light rolling stock. The Seetal railway however, was run with the normal heavy, standard gauge rolling stock of the SBB, including Ae 6/6 locomotives for freight, Rbe 4/4 motor coaches, De 4/4s & the specially produced De 6/6. These do not have the braking capacity of their lighter, narrow gauge counterparts, which poses a risk when crossing intersections without barriers.
During the past 30 years, many changes have been made to improve safety, including a massive reduction in crossings, installed barriers and the rerouting of the line at certain points. Beforehand there were over 500 crossings without barriers or warning lights. In 2009, the number could be reduced to 85, all fitted with a warning system, many with barriers.
Moving the entire track or fitting each crossing with barriers would have meant the end for this line due to the high costs involved, keeping in mind that it has never been profitable since it's conception in 1882. Closing the line in favour of a bus service has been debated in the past, notably in the 1950's and again in the early 90's due the safety concerns. Thankfully though, the line has been preserved and solutions were found.
Over the years, locomotives, wagons and trains have also been specially produced and adapted for use on the Seetal line. Notable examples are the De 6/6 Seetal crocodile locomotive, the reflective yellow strips used on many locomotives to warn cars and the more recently produced RABe 520, which we are riding in today, produced with a narrower body than standard SBB stock, to avoid the strafing of cars.
Freight traffic is also a very interesting part of the history of the railway. There still is occasional traffic from Hochdorf in the direction of Lucerne, where the clearance for standard trains is given. Unfortunately local freight traffic has been declining nationwide, especially in areas where only small amounts of freight were being transported. A search for "Seetal SBB" on google image search will produce some interesting photos of how things used to be.
And now, enjoy the ride on this historic railway!

There are so beautiful railway lines in Swiss. Wonderful :-)
Bin ich grad heut wieder gefahren, nach E'Brücke und dann wieder zurück in die Stadt. Ja, ist 'ne schöne Strecke, der Zug fühlt sich zwischen Rothenburg und Luzern wie ein Tram an. Besonders auch dass der Zug halt durch Reussbühl und der Baselstrasse entlang fährt, ein problembeladenes aber extrem spannendes Quartier.
Eine schöne und ruhige Fahrt ohne Gequatsche in der Lock und lästige Nebengeräusche. Interessant ist auch, dass die Bahn überwiegend der Straße folgt und dadurch durch die Ortschaften fährt. Da gibt es einiges zu sehen als immer nur Feld, Wald und Wiese. Auch die Einblendung der Gewässer finde ich gut. Ein rundum gelungenes Video. ♥️lichen Dank 🙂
I just love to watch these videos of train trips. It's like to be onboard. It's a wonderful way of making a trip without leaving the sofa, while quarantining. Thank you for posting and for the information about this historic railway. Greetings from Southern Brazil!
What a wonderful way to tour Switzerland. Thanks for taking us on the byways, not just the main lines.
I love this line, because it runs on the side of the road or sometimes even on the road, like a tram. The units that run here are narrower than normal trains. It's a unique and interesting line! Thank you for sharing this cab ride.
You mean the track distance?
i think its metre gauge.
@@RathinChiku he means the width of the train carriages (so that they don't stick out to the street), the gauge is regular, not meter gauge
It's similar to NJ Transit's RiverLINE that operates between the Camden Waterfront (near the Battleship New Jersey) and the Trenton Transportation Center (for Amtrak NEC trains, NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor and SEPTA's Trenton Line commuter trains). Most of the line runs on former Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Line (PRSL) and Conrail trackage, however there is some street-running, especially in Burlington (near the Burlington-Bristol Bridge), with some of the line hugging the banks of the Delaware River between Roebling and Trenton. Biggest difference is that the RiverLINE uses diesel-electric equipment instead of overhead electrical traction.
@@un9295a, which is standard to European systems, not the standard 4' 8½" width for North American trains.
12:48 Small town with a small roundabout...and a RAILWAY going through it! I've never seen this kind of an arrangement before, and it's one of three on this line; the others are at 26:04 and 55:34
Seetal has changed a lot since I was teenager visiting back in the late 70's
Switzerland always shows her beauty and elegance everywhere.
I didn't see any plastic thing or a tinny peace of paper all through the way! Thats amazing!
Wunderbar mal eine Fahrt mit der Seetalbahn mit all ihren Besonderheiten erleben zu können! In Deutschland wäre diese Strecke spätestens in den 60er/70er Jahren wegen "Gefährdung des Straßenverkehrs" stillgelegt worden. Mit Geld und pfiffigen Ideen hat man es in der Schweiz geschafft, den "Kundenmetzger" zu erhalten.
Une ligne originale et très intéressante. Très différente du réseau traditionnel. Merci beaucoup et prenez bien soin de votre santé durant cette mauvaise période. Sincères salutations.
thank you for sharing these films we completely enjoy them . we noticed there were no trash ie; plastic bags bier cans or newspapers ,even candy wrappers. the suisse people are very litter conscience which is a good thing.
...and so it looks like an animation video
Wrong, look at the platform and tracks @39:00.
@@stanstantalent.5605 on the whole switzerland is very litter conscious compared to some places we seen around usa .
I really enjoy the rides like this on the single track lines through the countryside and small towns. It allows for a chance to see things that you might not see on the mainlines. Thanks for a nice video!
Fascinating line, by the road on long stretches
It never fails to amaze me what a beautiful country it is. It amazing how the transportation system works so well. " Great Video "
Vielen Dank für's Mitnehmen. Es war wieder eine sehr schöne Fahrt und somit eine der schönsten Videos, die zu meine Favoriten kommt. 👍🧡
Portugal, Nicaragua, Canada, Russia, UK! Everyone loves the Seetal line.
An unfamiliar and most interesting route. It's really good to have something new to see at this difficult time. Thanks for posting it.
If you like a train ride view through towns and country side, this video is for you. I enjoyed the cab ride with the beautiful scenery. My only wish is if I could be in Switzerland to enjoy the real experience. THANK YOU for another excellent production.
Thank you :-)
Gorgeous high quality video with awesome landscapes, just as you'd expect from Switzerland
very cool
This is what I love about Swiss railways. There are so many of these branch lines, which are designed with serving the community uppermost, and many of the wayside stations still have sidings and goods yards.
Un voyage toujours si bien filme prouvant que la Suisse est le plus pays du monde, paysages mais aussi architecture bien particulière
Merci
Erstaunlich, dass es im Februar in der Schweiz keinen Schnee gibt. Jedenfalls, ein faszinierendes Video voller wunderschönen Landschaften wie immer!
Sehr schöne Führerstandsmitfahrt. Habe ich umgekehrt gemacht (Luzern - Lenzburg) und auf DVD veröffentlicht sowie die Strecken Emmenbrücke - Waldibrücke (via Emmen) und Beromünster - Beinwil am See.
Das hört sich auch sehr spannend an. Deswegen finde ich toll so Strecken aufzunehmen - gerade weil sich so vieles ändert.
Wo kann man diese DVD kaufen? Ich wohne in Hochdorf.
Gruss aus Hochdorf im Kanton Luzern in der Schweiz
Thank you for refreshing my memory ,I have traveled on this line.
Hugely enjoyable ride on a 'commuter' train, showing everyday life in Switzerland. Thank you.
Thanks!
Habe nie von dieser Strecke gehoert. Sehr nette Fahrt.
I’ve always liked Switzerland 🇨🇭 Their mountains countryside is beautiful ❤️
Switzerland Beautiful. 👍❤🇨🇭

Eine interessante Strecke. Es ist schön, dass das Bahnnetz in der Schweiz so dicht ist.
Switzerland ..bagus pemandangannya...bersih, tertib...rapi...jalan rayanya sepi ya..
A lovely and unique video. Great to see the railway line and road so close together for most of the journey.
Wondfeaul and Beautifaul country ilove it 🤩👍
Вот вроде просто запись маршрута, а интересно. Интересно посмотреть дома простых жителей, окружающую природу. Класс!
И нет ограждений на вокзалах.
Hochdorf Schönau is my parent's stop - I took that trip 100s of times in my life.
How fast does it go? The train I mean.
The cars are faster. Just wondering
@@MethosFilms not sure, but it's ~50km/30mi and takes ~70min, so average speed including stops would be just under 40kph/25mph. On long, straight stretches it'll go max 80kph/50mph I'd say - but don't quote me on that.
Wonderful !! I didn't want the journey to end. Thank-you.
This is beautiful country.great
Дякую! Було дуже цікаво подорожувати цим маршрутом. 👍
Swiss Government didn't even had to worry about building a barrier between the rail line and the road. This shows how sophisticated Swiss drivers are.
Yes... the cost of moving everything would've probably meant the closure of the line.
Another great cab ride! Interesting to see a line which runs so close the the road!
Finde diese Trassenführung so unmittelbar an der Landstraße sehr interessant. Kenne in Deutschland nur ganz, ganz wenige Orte, wo das aufgrund von Platzproblemen ähnlich gehandhabt wurde, zB auf der Insel Usedom an der Ostsee. Aber gut, so wie ich das immer mitbekomme, ist es ja um freie Flächen in der Schweiz meist nicht so gut bestellt, alles etwas mehr beieinander gerückt. Aber Props an eure Planer und Ingenieure, dass die es trotzdem hingebogen bekommen haben, diese dicht besiedelten Ortschaften an die Schiene anzubinden :D
A wonderful train ride in a beautiful country. Well done.
So relaxing thanks for sharing
If we live multiple lives my next one is going to be here. Lori you have a great job.
Very buatiful and colored views. And againe, i most liked a views of buildings nearby a ride.
Nicely done. Great videos!
Wow I just found this in my suggested and I am addicted nice video from Singapore miss Europe's train
Clean and neat country.
I enjoyed this trip. It's a beautiful and lovely country. Wish I could have a house there !!! Nice video , nice entertainment in this Corona days. Such videos keep you fresh .........!!👍👍
Great ride! Big thanks from New York.
1:09:02 lol i wait there everyday for the train😂 i live there its kinda funny to see this here and everyone is amazed about it. And im just like yup just my daily routine😂😂
Picture postcard perfect. Wish the journey would continue. Merci beaucoup. Liked the analog clocks. There was a time when many Indian Railways stations had clocks made by Favre Leuba, now replaced with digital clocks. I see there are hardly any quaint Swiss Chalet style houses, maybe they are costly to maintain. Now to one of your longish journeys... :)
Thank you :)
I could have watched this for hours! Great video!
Very nice my dear, greetings from Brazil.

I'd love to see this at night!! Bet its beautiful with all the lights in these towns.
I hope to do more night runs when I get a better lowlight camera
eine wunderbare Mitfahrt! Daumen hoch!
I would love to make a home out there, Picture Perfect 🇨🇭 Swiss Scenery and Beautiful scenery, Love the Continental Architecture, Beautifully Filmed 💖💕❤️♥️🌹❣️🚂Something Else I loved about Switzerland 🇨🇭 Most of their Railway Journeys 💞
...kolej najlepsze rozwiązanie komunikacyjne....😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍
I also work as train driver in S.Korea, this video made me want to work there.
Oh, nice to meet you!
Would you be interested in sharing a cab ride on this channel?
@@lorirocks777 I'm pleased to your suggestion, but it's impossible because of security reason.😥 S.Korea still in truce. When this problem solve later, I'll share it.
Switzerland has always looked at the rail system as a public service which is subsidised. It's not a profit making business like in the USA, UK, Australia and Canada. In those countries, if the route doesn't make a profit, they'll just shut it down, never mind the travelling public.
Très belle video . Merci de nous faire visiter la région de Luzern. Amicalement de la bourgogne en France.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cab ride video, and how quiet are those swiss trains that you can here the noisy cars passing on the roads, I thought that being that close to the roads and to industrial units and private dwellings added so much to the video, it was exciting, really good, thank you for the upload. Cheers.
Thanks!
Wonderful view...wonderful Switzerland !!!!!!!
Eine wünderschöne Strecke Danke fürs Hochladen
Very cool line. Felt like a narrow gauge track.
Nice to see GTW in SBB livery. I have only seen them in Thurbo livery
These GTWs are slightly different, with a narrower profile
How beautiful there is too ❤️😍! I hope I can relocate to there
este pasceio foi muito agradável parabéns pelo vídeo !
...plus 'Beau' pays du monde...
Мой любимый маршрут
Аж.дух.захватывоет
Thanks for your videos😂Its always amazied to see the scenery of the other side of the world for me
impressionnant cela doit etre tout de meme stressant pour le conducteur du train merci pour la video
Greetings from Lucerne ;)
Perfeito como todos os seus vídeos,Saudações do Brasil .
Einfach klasse. Nur weiter so. Ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten Videos.
Nächste video kommt voraussichtlich am Freitag
bella linea...... e bel video come sempre ,,.........
Superb Fantastic Experience 😃 Feeling Real Thrill 😁👌😁
Americans: "WHAT?! NO HORN?! HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY BE SAFE??"
Swiss drivers are not dumb, as the American drivers quite often are!
Nice to see that even not so profitable lines are saved. What would be the point of sending all the passengers and freight out on the streets among other cars and lorries and create even more road traffic? Daft I think!
Very nice ride btw.
Freight train companies in America make nice profit, trains in Switzerland most likely highly subsidized. In Seon, 2 people boarded and 2 disembarked. At the same time, min 50 passenger cars passed by.
@Velvetblue It's not just in the USA, Velvetblue! Over a year or two, mobile phone addiction will probably kill more people than CoVid-19 around the world. I doubt if they'll come up with a vaccine for it either.
@Dr Moriarty Covid or phones? ;-)
@@peterlj613 Maybe they do not make much money from this train line, but the trains in Switzerland are extremely busy, especially during rush hours. Plus the SBB has partnered up with the ZVV and the SZU and I am sure theyre bringing in a lot of profit too... many people here take public transport over cars due to these smaller connections that can get you basically everywhere in this country, you only need a car if you live in a more remote village, you know for groceries and stuff, but those villages are most probably connected by bus too.
Also on the Swiss drivers being good theme, the drivers here are not any better than anywhere else, go by bus and train in the morning and look out the window, every second driver will have his/her phone out. So yeh... This coming from a Swiss citizen from Zurich
Gorgeous footage, great work. Greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭
Красотища,все для людей!
Frumos imi place
Never saw the Cab Perspektive from this line.
Greetings from Othmarsingen
Great to see Seetalbahn with Sonderprofil Seetal
Eine andere schöne Mitfahrt, wie immer! Ich bin gespannt auf die nächste Reise! Vielen Dank!
Linda viagem.maravilha. - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
Hallo, ein schöner Film von einer interessanten Strecke, Daumen hoch. Ich war vor 30 Jahren in Beinwil, da fuhren noch die RBe 4/4 Triebwagen mit den Streifen. Es gibt eine ähnliche Strecke in Deutschland : Münster-Warendorf-Rheda_Wiedenbrück. Grüße in die Schweiz. Weiter so! Willie.
Thank you for making these videos. Great job)
Beautifull country & i love it.
Wow this is an amazing place
I love this country and wish to visit there, unman crossings is a question mark due to the proximity of the road.Thanks for nice upload.
Azmat Ali There are less and less unmanned crossings nowadays here.
The gov and national rail company are reducing them step by step.
На таком трамвайчике прокатиться одно удовольствие Жаль что у нас трамвайное дело не развивается
Hoping for everything to starting to open up, my wife and I, will be visiting this city in November of this year, keeping my fingers cross.
You need to visit Schloss Lenzburg!
@@simonscherer2821 I'll try, thanks.
its November 2, you are coming to Switzerland
@@shashidharbagewadi6614 That's a big NO! it has been moved to March, and to be honest, I don't see it happening in March.
Krass wo ihr lang und durchfahrt:-) :-) :-) :-) Klasse Film!
Reminds me of the RiverLine operated by New Jersey Transit that runs on an actual railroad right-of-way between Camden, NJ (near the Battleship New Jersey) and Trenton, NJ (at the Trenton Transit Center). Only major difference is that RiverLine uses diesel-powered cars, while this train uses overhead electrical power like a higher-speed or high-speed intercity train like Amtrak's Acela.
Sounds interesting
Fun, scenic trip... thanks!
It's the original railway Thanks for your vidéo !
That house by 0:35 and 1:06:57 that was my house cool video
Haben Sie ein Video der ic8-Route (Romanshorn-Brig)?
Missed the big train station and the Chapel Bridge
in Lucerne.😀
