That is very noble of you and I support this initiative, although I am surprised they don't make such big profits so as not to rely on donations. For comparison, the ride up the Brienzer Rothorn costs nearly 100 Swiss Francs per person and at least in summer the trains are pretty full. For me at least, as an Eastern European, this ride was extremely expensive. I am pretty sure the Rothornbahn gets to cover all the costs associated with running steam engines and make a good profit too.
@@wyqtor That is expensive! I can't speak for the Rothornbahn, I just know this organisation is a non profit one, made up of mostly volunteers, some who travel from different countries to help. Their annual maintenance costs are around 700'000.- and they have to comply with certain laws with crossings etc, which add to the cost. I guess on top of that come the running costs (Diesel, coal, locomotive repairs, rental) which are likely to be covered by the guests. They also have a lot to do before and after winter, removing traffic lights and anything else that could get damaged by avalanches. They have around 35'000 guests per year, according to the internet.
Another fantastic engineering effort from our pioneers in railway building in the alps. Always astonishing what these people where able to build at the second half of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Thank you for this nice ride over the Furka Pass. What a luxury in these hyper-fast days to travel at such a low and easy speed. I enjoyed it a lot. Kind regards and may you always have safe travels. Also a big shout-out to the maintainers and supporters of the track and the trains. Great job.
If you live in these moutains, consider yourself lucky and blessed. This is heaven on earth and it cannot get any better. Thank You!! Merci Beaucoup!! Muchas Gracias!! Dankeschön!!
As a retired truck driver (USA), I know there's a lot more hard work than what you see here. Driving jobs just come with hard work. But I've travelled by train through so much of that lovely country. If I could turn back time, I'd love to operate one of the many trains running through Switzerland. Wonderful video. Thank you.
Fantastic video of one of the World's most stunning lines. I've hiked both ends as far as the tunnel mouths. The hike from Realp to Furka was undertaken in October 2020 about one week after the line had closed for the season. Already it had suffered from landslips and huge boulders falling on the line! Once 2000m was attained, there was snow everywhere. An unforgettable experience!
I love the details you provide ... the maps, image of the actual train making the journey, informative notes ... and the views were extraordinary! Great job!
A few weeks ago, on September 5, 2021 I was there by car. I drove over the Grimsel Pass to the right to the Oberwald, then back the whole Furka Pass to Realp. I think, along with Grimsel, they are some of the most beautiful passes in Switzerland. Certainly much nicer than the fashionable and well known Gothard Pass :) When I found this video, I was happy to see my favorite road from a different perspective - when I met it in the past, I knew I had to come back here. I also traveled through the tunnel under the Furka on a previous visit to Switzerland. Thank you very much !!!!
Bahnstrecken oberhalb der Baumgrenze sind in West- und Mitteleuropa sehr selten und immer etwas besonderes. Der Scheiteltunnel wirkt sehr schmal für heutige Maßstäbe. Aber er reicht aus. Danke an Paolo, uns auf die interessante Fahrt mitgenommen zu haben.
Thank you so much. I enjoy the beauty of Switzerland from my home. There is no chance to visit Switzerland in my life. Thank you so much once again for giving me the great opportunity. Tamilnadu (Needamangalam) INDIA. வாழ்க வளமுடன்.
Hallo Paolo und lorirocks - Ein weiteres tolles Video von euch - eine herrliche Bergstrecke durch wilde Landschaft. Ich hatte in meiner Jugendzeit mehrmals die Gelegenheit von Chur nach Brig und zurück zu fahren, natürlich auf der fahrplanmässig befahrenen Bergstrecke. Da war vom Furkaloch noch keine Rede. Schöne Erinnerungen - herzlichen Dank an alle! Liebe Grüsse - Remo
There are plenty of closed railways in other countries that have been turned into cycling ways or hiking tracks where that is possible. Unfortunately there have been casualties from foreigners thinking they could do that in Switzerland.
Coucou et coucou de la Corrèze natale egletons France 👍 j'adore les trains manifique vidéo très jolie me sentiments les meilleurs grand merci beaucoup 👍👍👍💌
Die Furka-Bergstrecke ist wirklich was ganz Besonderes. Vielen Dank für das schöne Video!! Für mich ist es auch eine wunderbare Urlaubserinnerung, im August bin ich dort noch selbst mitgefahren, von Oberwald nach Gletsch mit dem Dieselzug und zurück mit dem Dampfzug. Das freundliche Personal hat mich noch im eigentlich voll besetzten Zug mitfahren lassen, vorn auf der offenen Plattform direkt hinter der Lok. Einmalig schön...
I am from Hungary and I am appreciated for the uploads. I love those beautiful landscape all around Switzerland especially the mountain regions. i hope one day I could personally visit these places. I am looking forward for more videos, especially about winter time. Thank You.
Toll, nach 40 Jahren, nachdem ich diese Strecke noch mit der F.O. fahren konnte, zu sehen, was die DFO mit Hilfe vieler Fronarbeiter dort geleistet hat und immer noch leistet!
Wow this is incredible! Thank you Lori and Paolo for this awesome video. This rack railway is really terrific and more so thanks to the great work of many volunteers who help to keep it running. Thank you both for sharing this with all of us. I look forward to more great trips.
Very nice cab ride. The landscapes of FURKA are splendid, obviously with the sun is better. At a certain moment, I wondered if it wasn't in Scotland, saw the landscape and the low clouds that hid the peaks, but no, it was just a mirage.Very nice view, from Gletsch of the summits at the end of the valley. Finally congratulations for this video and your endeavour.
Lieber Paolo, liebe DFB, danke für das Video. Das ist meine absolute Favoritendiesellok auf schmaler Spur. Ich hoffe, die wird erhalten bleiben. Ein großer Wunsch von mir ist es, einmal auf dem Führerstand mitfahren zu dürfen. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos dieser Art. Beste Grüße aus dem Berner Seeland.
7:29 To the left of center, Paolo appears like a spectral apparition. 48:30 Can honestly say, have never seen nor heard of a water column equipped with a signal lamp here in the United States. 51:46 Neat. A tunnel portal located in the center of a highway's hairpin curve. Another first. 55:01 Freshet on the right. 56:04 A pair of ghostly reminders of catenary days. Do I understand correctly, lorirocks, that all those traffic signals controlling the grade crossings are put up at the start of every operating season and then taken down after the line closes for the year? That's a lot of work. Kudos to the volunteers. Thanks, Paolo, for taking the time to film this (I'm quite certain there was a lot of arm twisting--by YOU to get in that cab!) and to you, lorirocks, for posting it. Very enjoyable. Now, off to Google Earth to scope out this route.
Yeah! The ghost of the Furkaline ;) You are welcome! Yeah I had to put some effort to offer to you this but it was worth it! Later a ride on the opposite direction will follow!
Thanks for the video. Brought back memories of when I rode it in 2014 (behind steam). It also highlights the spectacular road over the pass, which was used in the Bond movie, Goldfinger
That was so fun..I’ll do it again. Great catching @paolo and @lorirocks777 on Friday…. I’m ready to take that black train back up the hill. Fall and winter are coming and I look forward to new videos of the season. Have a great week and stay safe..

Also I thought it was funny at 7:23 that a blur had to be done momentarily cove the reflection of the cameraman as the train went across the bridge =) I went searching for a video on how the bridge folds up and it was fascinating! Thankyou again
I was supposed to ride the Furka pass railway behind the steam loco in the summer of 2019. Unfortunately, that day, there was flooding between Realp and Andermatt and I couldn't get there. Thanks for the video so that I can see what I missed. I'll have to try again in the future.
Looking forward to this video. I actually took an ride on the this line and the walked along tracks from Furka pass to both Oberwald and Realp, but still this never gets old :-)
eine Großartige Fahrt! Ich mag es, wenn die Lok noch pfeift, und es an den Bahnübergängen bimmelt. Bei 5:29 sehe ich im übrigen rechts das schmalblättrige Weidenröschen, das mich an die Eifel erinnert...
I have not seen such a beautiful and picturesque route with you yet. What a wonderful intertwining of various communication attractions and wonderful mountain views. Thank you for this fantastic film message and I cordially greet you from the Polish Baltic Sea.
The Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway from Manitou Springs up Pikes Peak in Colorado, USA has just reopened from replacing all of the track which was laid in 1891 with the Abt System, new trains from Swiss Locomotive, and a new depot. They spent about 2 years rebuilding the railroad. The maximum grade is 25%. The other cog railroad in the US is the Mt. Washington Cog Railroad in New Hampshire which is the first mountain-climbing cog railroad in the world.
Yes a great railway and a great road over the pass itself. I've ridden my bicycle over several times in both directions on my way from Nice to Graz. Love the place. There's a great eatery at Gletsch. It's tragic that the glacier is disappearing fast, we don't take care of the planet anywhere near well enough.
Gracias mi hermano, por compartir tanta belleza que las manos de Dios creo, me siento como si fuera manejando esa locomotora, que bendecido eres con tanta belleza a tu paso, te saludo desde Mexico, buenos días, aquí ahora son las 9:18 de la mañana. Dios te bendiga y guarde de todo peligro. 🙏🏻
Wir sind dort vor ein paar Wochen viel gewandert, haben 2 mal in der Rotondohütte übernachtet und am letzten Tag sind wir von der Rotondohütte zum Furkapass gelaufen und von dort mit Zug nach Hause. Was für eine wunderschöne Gegend, dort! ❤️
It's a shame that the glacier melted and we can't see it from the train anymore, even though it was the original route of the Glacier Express. Thank you very much for the great Furka Pass view !
Yeah, I was quite surprised when I arrived at Eigergletscher station on the Jungfraubahn earlier this year, because on my first trip as a child I distinctly remembered a glacier going all the way down from the sides of the mountain into a valley just below, to the point where I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. Unfortunately it wasn't. And to think this glacier we see here in the video, the Rhone glacier, used to go nearly all the way down to Gletsch early last century!
A lovely train tour through the Alps of Switzerland. I hope that they preserve this railway line and not shut it down indefinitely, which would be a shame.. Anyway, thanks for sharing. 😀😀😀

Didn't know that diesels are used on this line as well; thought it was steam only. Beautiful sound of those engines by the way!
Great Premier for this. I got some education from it. Cheers, and Cheers to Paolo

It's a shame that the glacier melted and we can't see it from the train anymore, even though it was the original route of the Glacier Express.

Oh, you have had a wonderful experience！
