Swiss Steam Trains (1)

[MrStan1941]

A great collection, lovely pics, looks like good weather too.

[Aigegwaeggs]

GENIAL!

[holidaymoviecompany]

Very nicely filmed, with good long shots of the trains in the landscape; always nice to see rather than endless 3/4 view close ups.

excelente, tres locomotoras como ésta circularon en la linea MALAGA-VELEZ-VENTAS DE ZAFARRAYA HASTA EL 1963.

I have never seen a rack-and-pinion steam video before. I found the piece near the end of the video very impressive, (where the engine was shown from the front, climbing the hill).

This old relic should be graffiti painted, stripped, scrapped, cut apart & sent to the foundry for melting into new products.

If some people need CASH QUICKLY, parts can be removed & sold with NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Whistle, bell, gauges, headlights, number boards, marker lights, builders plate, sand domes, throttle assembly & so many other good parts can be removed & sold at VERY HIGH COLLECTORS CASH PRICES! Enough money to get a person by for at least 18 to 20 months!

ALL THERE FOR THE TAKING!

[207dakota]

Very nice video....it is great to see that Europe still takes pride in their railsystem....very interesting views with the camera lens....the loco reminds me of an oversized LGB!! Thank you for posting this video.

steam trains are faster than they were in the olden days

[gamera63]

Cute!!! How much horse power do these tiny steam locomotives have?

[AndreiTupolev]

Does it have seperate outside and rack cylinders, the engine at 2:00 on? When it's coming down the hill at 2:30, it looks like it's using the rack cylinders for braking, and then shuts them off when it's on the level.

[Graggentor]

Exactly. The lower cylinders are for the adhesion and the upper for rack-railway lines. They are working as compounder (or how you say them in English). Rolling downwards the cylinders are working as a backpressure break (System Westinghouse).

It's beautiful- how much of a grade could it take-Also what is the 3rd rail in the center for?

Bill

[Classicencores]

maimum grades on this line are about 10%.

The line in the cerntre is the toothed rack which engages with gears on the locos and coaches to aid adhesion going uphill and braking downhill

[bcray44667]

Thanks for the information - all nice videos.

[Hitsch51]

The 3rd Rail is not a rail, there is a cograil, because the rampe can be over 246 0/00

SCHON SCHON SCHON !!!

[jdurose]

nice old trains - what's the gauge on this line?

[Classicencores]

This is the SBB Brunig Line - Metre gauge

[johnsenkenn]

@Classicencores

This is Brunig line - Metre gauge ? alright, and how much is that.

[Classicencores]

@johnsenkenn

This is the line that runs from Interlaken to Lucern

The standard gauge for raiways is approx 4ft 8.5 inches whereas this line is approx 3ft 3inches enabling the trains to go round sharper curves and is much cheaper to buld

[megatwingo]

Sehr schön!

[Graggentor]

Nice vid, thx a lot! The Bruenig Line is one of the most beautiful railwayline in Switzerland.
