Zürich villamosai, 3. rész / Trams in Zürich, pt. 3

---------------------------------------------------------------
Mindennapi tömegközlekedés Zürichben - olyan, mint amilyennek elképzeljük: tiszta, pontos, de azért megvannak a gyenge pontjai is. De most nem ezeket kerestem, csak próbáltam a legforgalmasabb vagy más szempontból érdekes pontokon/járműveket levideóznom.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Highlights:

0:02- Sternen Oerlikon, a somewhat complex junction in the suburbs
0:49- The CargoTram at Escher-Wyss-Platz... I was unable to get a got view at this interesting unit :(
1:26- Limmatquai in the rain
1:39- Riding back to the hotel, watching through the rear window of the tram. The bend we see is the one at Weinbergstrasse/Hardtstrasse, seen in the previous video from the outside.
2:03- Central - note that all traffic (tram, vehicular, pedestrian) in this junction is flowing without any traffic lights!
2:42- The double-articulated HESS SwissTrolley again :)
2:59- Farbhof, the buses/trolley buses have their stop in the middle of the reversing loop of the tram
3:30- A ride on the subway tram. On this stretch, the two directions switch places, so that the doors of the trams are on the proper side of the middle platforms. At Milchbuck one track goes above the other, on the other end of the tunnel the crossing is in level. If you don't like to look at concrete tunnel walls, fast-forward to 4:45 :)
5:18- Switching back to the right side after the tunnel
5:39- A ride inside a CobraTram. The design is magnificent, but is not very practical in my humble opinion: small standing place, not enough handle bars (grips). And this type gets quite loud above 40 km/h, not to mention the noises when it runs over a switch/crossing.
7:10- The fully automated Rigiblick funicular is like a lift: you press the button of the station you want to go to, and then it stops there once there are enough passengers/it's time according the time plan. The stations are closed, their platform doors open only when the car stops there.
9:53- Trams in Gloriastrasse, below Kirche Fluntern. Wondeful houses, lovely view, steep streets, and trams all the way!
11:22- A ride with the Dolderbahn rack railway. Interestingly, the intermediate passing loop is not in a stop, but just along the line. And look at the points around 16:00 - how does that work?
19:05- Trams around Römerhof - boy, do they screech in bends!
19:20- A ride with the Uetlibergbahn, from the hazy city up to the top of the Uetliberg, which was bading in sun above the clouds.
20:06- Under those clods there's Zürich
20:31- A train arrives to the top station. Note the off-center current collectors!
21:02- Trams at Paradeplatz
