🚆 Blue hour cab ride! Tilting train in winter wonderland (Switzerland | IC5 St. Gallen - Zürich)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.พ. 2021
- We have been to St. Gallen before but never drove back - time to change that! Welcome to St. Gallen, the biggest city in northeastern Switzerland. We're sat aboard an ICN (Intercity tilting train) bound for Lausanne. The sun just started rising, giving us a beautiful cab ride during the blue hour. It's only three stops until we reach Zurich Main Station an hour later. A quick ride with fast curves and beautiful views awaits you here! If you'd like to continue the ride to Biel, you may do so in Zurich.
To show you the differences in speed between tilting trains and regular trains, the speeds will be displayed in the upper right corner, if applicable. If no speed is shown, tilting trains are not allowed to go faster than regular trains. If you pay close attention to the numbers, you'll notice they change all the time and on different points for the different train categories. This is the number one reason why I don't include speeds in my videos. I know some of my viewers have been asking, but the differences with different train types are just too confusing for those untrained with our regulations. One thing is explained easily though: The indicated tilting train speeds are the absolute maximum for this route, it doesn't get higher.
A little information on tilting trains:
The idea behind tilting trains is to allow for faster cornering speeds than regular trains. This reduces travel time without the need to build new high-speed lines or heavily modifying existing tracks. Just compare a regular train to a car and a tilting train to a motorbike. Cornering fast in a car is possible, but wears the tires faster, is more dangerous than ordinary driving and the lateral forces are unpleasant to the passengers. On a motorbike, it is normal to lay into curves, which results in a little bit more pressure into the direction of seating, instead of lateral forces. Tilting trains are usually lighter than regular trains and the center of mass moves into the curve while tilting, reducing stress onto its own wheels and the infrastructure when compared to the same speed without tilting. But it is a fact that the higher speeds do cause more wear, even if it is reduced by the tilting motion. Everything comes at a price after all...

The snow at the start is awesome 👌🏻 I wish it was like that every year.
I would love that! Nothing beats the feeling of being the first train of the day after heavy snowfall, with all tracks buried under the snow!
Very much enjoyed! Cheers from Australia.
un voyage sous la neige bien la vidéo
Bonjour un voyage avec un IC5 sous la neige tres belle image de neige merci pour la video
I'm jealous of the railway system in Switzerland. All of the trains are prepaired for snowy days. But in the Netherlands, the railways screech to a hault when a little bit of snow lays on the tracks
Eine tolle Reise durch die verschneite Landschaft in den anbrechenden Tag hinein. Ich bin gerne mitgefahren 🙂
Enjoying with a cup of coffee 🌼🌞
Wow I miss travelling and Switzerland. The best way of seeing Europe is by train. Europe has a good railway system and Switzerland has one of the best.. Love the fact that you can go almost anywhere by train in Switzerland.
Bonjour un trajet sous la neige avec IC 5 très bien la vidéo merci
Danke für diese schöne Mitfahrt, ich habe diese sehr genossen!!! Herzliche Grüße aus Österreich!
Hahaha menarik ni Sapu Lidi.. ingin mengikuti episode seterus nya..
Excellent video,Danke.
Klasse Video durch die schneebedeckte Landschaft und den Tagesanbruch während der Fahrt! Danke fürs hochladen!
When they';re approaching Winterthur, I really think the automated announcement ought to declare "Winterthur is coming".
excellent. thank you
You. Can’t beat the trains in Switzerland
I love a good train ride and I love the snow, both in the same video, glad I came along for the ride. Thanks
Wow! Only 4 days ago! Beautiful scenery. Cab view is the only way to go!
My mother-in-law lived in Wienacht, Rorschacherberg, and now Rorschach. Wienacht was definitely beautiful as she lived on top of a hill, you could see the A1, the regional airport and the Bodensee. Haven't been back for about 7 years now. I miss Switzerland so much
I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've watched this video, and I think it's my favourite because of the blue morning light. I like the scenery, & going fast too. :D
Hello, fantastic views on this video, great scenery throughout much appreciated, l live in the UK was a ex railway worker retired in 2000 33years on the railways, my son is a driver on freight trains in the UK mainly on the class 66 locos (diesel) take care stay safe. Brian 😊🙏👍
Nice cab ride in the snow from St.Gallen to Zurich
Danke für dieses video schön zum runterfahren von ein stressiger tag :)
Thank you for a great cab ride loved every minute ,beautiful in the snow at night and thank you for sharing.
Hello from Ukraine! Thanks for this trip!
Auf ein Video von dieser Strecke mit diesem Zug habe ich schon lange gewartet! Super, dass Du dieses Video gemacht hast. Der ICN ist eigentlich mein Lieblingszug und auf der Strecke St. Gallen - Zürich kommt dieses "in die Kurve liegen" speziell zur Geltung - fast wie in einem Flugzeug! Herzlichen Dank!!!
Biel bis Lausanne ist auch extrem eindrücklich diesbezüglich
@@Bellator-dk1bg Da gebe ich Dir ausnahmslos recht!
Video bellissimo, scenari mozzafiato in uno dei paesi più belli al mondo, con la neve poi è tutto così immacolato, magari fosse così tutti gli anni
Zeer mooi treinrit
Absolutely beautiful - thank you as always!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
What an excellent video to watch while we here in Kansas city, Kansas USA finally get our accumulating first snow. So far we got about 3 to 5 inches and more in areas. And more to come. Your video is beautiful in every way as usual. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos and love sharing them with my train group on Facebook. They love your trips. Be safe. God bless and keep them videos. coming.
Greetings from Ontario Canada. I enjoyed that. They really do tilt. :-) Love your railway system. I have watched many of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
wow looks like a xmas postcard
спасибо за чудесную поездку,жаль ,что солнце ещё не взошло
Great video friend thanks for sharing.
This is great. Nice to see a tilting train as well!
Not the first time actually! If you've enjoyed it, there are many more videos to watch, including two others with tilting trains.
Very beautiful places. Great video thanks a lot
Eine andere schöne Reise wie immer! Vielen Dank!
Really enjoying your videos nice one and thanks
A wonderful ride, particularly with the lights in streets and houses making a spectacular display of colour against the white snow.
Simply Wonderfull ! Greetings from Slovakia !
Love it!
A wonderful ride, seeing the snow slowly turning from blue to white. Thank you.
I recall a tilt train trip to Lausanne; it was fascinating inside the carriage seeing the tilt.
Great video !!
Great videos, love the views and sceneries.
Ein tolles Video!
excellent trip!...i like getting up early!!
What amazing technology, think about it, imagine if passenger aircraft did not tilt. 👍👍👍
Always a big thank you for the English translation⛄💚😍
Yes love these videos, hope its clear and not blurry, though...
It might seem crazy, but this particular view from the cabin, reminds me of a Tatarstan, Russia.
Like my friend, greetings from Brazil
🌞 So Great Cab Ride !!! 🌞
💛 Greetings from the French Riviera in 4K 💛
Bom vídeo.
That's an approach into Zürich I don't think I've seen before. So there's a tunnel that takes you from just outside Oerlikon straight into the underground tracks at Zürich HB, then.
Yep, since 2015.
Booked dignitas, so I'm Hoping I get to enjoy a train journey before I leave this world.
Complimenti macchinista!👋

Must be an interesting feeling riding a tilting train through a super-elevated curve (where the inside rail is lowered to accommodate greater speed for non-tilting trains through a curve).
✅🇧🇷Belíssimo vídeo
Wow pretty! I’ve never actually touched snow or been near it. Closest it’s been is like an hour from where I live
kos deg med programmet ditt tusen takk skal.
Heute habe ich die schöne Reise beendet. Die Geschwindigkeitsunterschiedsanzeigen in Gelb wären besser lesbar.Graue Immel und Volken.... Tolles Video.👍👍👍
👍❄️
Großartig. Darf man die komplette Tour für den Sommer vorbuchen? 😊
😎👍
美麗
A wonderful day out in a beautiful country,(even in winter),are the crossover points heated?(no snow)cheer's bob.
Yes they are, otherwise they wouldn't work.
The light and the undisturbed snow make for some idyllic scenes. Particularly in the earlier stages when it looks as if we were the first train along since the snow had covered the tracks. Particularly dramatic with the passing train @ 7:36 in a flurry of snow.
Nothing beats a train in the snow. its so peaceful. Why is the line only rigged for 86mph?
Thanks for sharing the tilt experience again, just wondering if the kneeling FV-Dostos are allowed the same or indeed better speed dispensations: otherwise put, can they keep up with ICN?
Thanks also for sharing the superb lighting, Switzerland is full of evocative effects like that and that's just one reason for me to return once we all have our lives back.
More power to you and your team \m/
Right now the FVD can't go faster than normal passenger trains. In the future yes, but never as fast as the ICN.
Sehr interessantes Video. Obwohl Deutscher wusste ich natürlich, dass in der Schweiz die Signale links vom Gleis stehen (oder auch mal direkt darüber). Dass allerdings einige Bahnhöfe außer Betrieb sind, hab ich von der Schweiz weniger erwartet. Es waren ja keine kleinen Haltepunkte.... Kann man den schweizer Neigezug als störungsarm (praktisch störungsfrei) bezeichnen ? Danke für die Mühe des Videos.
Durchaus. Störungen kann es immer und überall geben, aber die Zuverlässigkeit ist gegeben.
At the 11:03 mark, you blasted a couple of hundred tons of metal, at somewhere around 115 km/h, in way early morning frigid conditions, past the Flawill platform, which was full of people? Where they waving at you with 5 fingers or just the 'ol you're #1?
Thanks for wonderful videos. Can the passengers notice when a tilting car, actually tilts when laying to a curve?
If you pay attention to it you can usually notice it. I find it really comfortable though.
That was very interesting ! How much further was this train going on it's journey ?
Thanks for sharing !!! :):):)
To Lausanne. You may watch the part vom Zurich to Biel on this channel!
@@RailwayEmotions Oaky Doaky ...:):)
Könntest du bitte auch der Tageszeit eingeben ? z.b um wie viele uhr hast du der reise angefangen usw
Hallo
Schönes Video Fahrt
Bin viel in Wil
Der Zug fasziniert mich aber seit ich sah wie ein solcher Zug mit hohen Geschwindigkeit durch Wil fuhr und einen Mensch auffährt und und der Zug nahm seit da warte ich nicht mehr auf dem peron
Noch nie einen umgefahren?
Und was macht ihr bei so einem Ereignis wen jemand mit fährt
Viele Dank
Und guete Fahrt
Flawil yea
Super Video von dir. Man hörte zwischendurch immer mal ein Zischen, wie beim schliessen einer Türe im Zug. Was war das?
2. Hast du zufällig noch einen Tipp wie ich an Videos von den Schmalspurbahnen drankomme?
Gruss aus Düsseldorf
Frank
Die Rückspiegel sind pneumatisch betrieben, vermutlich hast du das gehört. Wenn du was von der RhB sehen willst, ein Video gibts hier auf dem Kanal. Ansonsten empfehle ich Calandamountain oder lorirocks hier auf TH-cam.
St Gallen is especially worth a visit because it has many brothels
Whatever floats your boat ;-)
Does the tilting bother riders or is this train pretty popular?
I find as I'm sitting here I am leaning with the tilt as the video train moves along! I'm not on the train, but I wondered if you lean as you're in the drivers seat? Did you have any adjusting yourself when you first started with this type of vehicle?
We just sit there, aswell as all our passengers.
Has Talgo, which also has some sort of tilting mechanism, ever been tested in Switzerland? And if so, how did it perform in comparison with Pendolino? Asking because I've recently read that the Germans are going to replace the ICE T (which is based on Pendolino) with Talgo.
Talgos used to run in Switzerland a while ago, but they only had a passive tilting system for comfort reasons and were always pulled by a locomotive, thus we're not any faster than other trains. It's not comparable to the ICNs active tilting mechanism that leads to higher speeds.
What are the three beeps at the start as it passes the yellow light thanks
This should help: th-cam.com/video/UYMCoyPFnWU/w-d-xo.html
Because the train body tilts, does the cab units have two snow ploughs? One on the body, which tilts, and is part of the 'aero' and another on the leading wheel bogie assembly as the body plough will leave gaps to allow for tilting.. Does the area round St.Gallen suffer 'lake affect' snowfall. An increase in snowfall due to wind crossing the Bodensee lifting moisture which turns to extra snow?
There is only an aerodynamic "plow" on the body itself. No idea regarding the snow, St. Gallen is a bit higher than most cities and probably gets more snow anyway.
wann wurde das video gedreht
Do you travel the Lötschberg line from Bern to Brig but via the long high speed tunnel instead the mountain route? If yes, can we see it?
Tbh the track over the mountain is much more beautiful. The base tunnel is just a long hole 😉
@@Bellator-dk1bg Well I must admit that I find the base Tunnel more interestinf because its a high speed line. Which needs much more effort in building it than a normal line. One tiny millimeter of a displaced track can be fatal
Brilliant video - many thanks - just one question... How much time has been cut from the journey from St Gallen to Zurich (and on to Lausanne) by these new trains? I appreciate the increase in comfort, and probably power efficiency etc from the new trains, but really what is the benefit time-wise?
I don't have exact numbers, but all these small adjustments allow for half-hourly or hourly connections on bigger stations and a well-working integral system. This is the main goal.
There used to be other trains on this track with 2 stops more and they would take 75 min.
At first I thought it was a mistake but, is it me or it has the same cabin like the RE 460? But more…new.
Not the same, but quite similar, yes!
Frage: Müssen an der Strecke selbst technische Maßnahmen (Ballisten) ergriffen werden, um Neigezüge fahren lassen zu können?
Ja, die Strecken müssen explizit für die erhöhten Geschwindigkeiten geprüft und zugelassen werden. Daher haben Neigezüge nur auf ausgewählten Strecken einen Geschwindigkeitsvorteil.
Didn't France reject those as being to expensive in maintaining? As did I know the UK, 😕😒🙄🙃
Why does it tilt when it doesn't need to, some one should turn it off to save the tilting mechanism.
I'll take any of these train systems ...better than the US
Is this a tilting train?
Hi
het der ICN e Vsoll knopf?
Der ICN hat einen vSoll-Schieberegler, gleich wie die Re 460
I must admit I was a little surprised by how slow a speed these trains are allowed to go. The occasional curves must be quite restrictive. In the UK a lot of EMUs are now permitted to travel at around 170 kph anywhere that's reasonably straight. I guess the curves we have must be less tight. Could someone tell me how speed is indicated, I couldn't see any signs?
140+ through towns and cities is not what I would call slow. Signal distances also limit the speed. It is shown on a tablet or paper charts that we carry with us.
@@RailwayEmotions I guess I particularly meant the stretches of quite straight track in the countryside, but even compared with the UK some of these were relatively short. Do the charts you have "move" as you travel, or do they just mention a location and you have to know where that is?
@@RailwayEmotions Great video by the way, thoroughly enjoyed both parts
How long does it take to study as a train driver in Switzerland? What is the course of study there, who knows? It would be interesting to compare.
The train companies usually train the drivers themselves. It usually takes between a year and two, full time.
@@RailwayEmotions Thank. Yes, the organization of the railway is very different. And train drivers work in one person, the conditions for this are appropriate.
