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

    Bill

  • 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

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

  • This is the SBB Brunig Line - Metre gauge

  • @Classicencores

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

  • @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

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

  • GENIAL!

  • 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!
