- New, edited and augmented version. Now includes shots from a drone and more.
Certainly one of the nicest tourist railways in Europe, it connects Realp (Uri canton) to Oberwald (Wallis canton) over the Furka Pass. 4 different steam locomotives are shown. 3 of them are original from the line, one comes from the Viege-Zermatt railway: a very interesting locomotive. All are over 100 years old, even though they just look brand new. - Věda a technologie
Brilliant video! I was going to visit the Furka Railwa this Summer but Covid put a stop to that! Maybe next year!
Wie immer, einfach geniale Aufnahmen, toller Sound, ich respektiere diese Mega Arbeit 100 Daumen hoch
Beautiful video, first class, enjoyed the views.
I really enjoyed this, superb scenery, excellent camera work and well edited.
Thank you Tim. I enjoy your videos as well.
Nice video, thumbs up
Been watching your entire channel of videos, KochersbergTV. I've an old book by Victor Hand & H. Edmonson called "The Love Of Trains." That book could be republished because most every video of your publishing, most trains in that book(C1974) are in your videos or, vis-versa!

Enjoying myself watching your safe train videos! Er, Keeping myself safe enjoying your videos.
absolutely fantastic video, made me feel like I was there riding on her.
Nice photography. It would be more better if vadapav ( maharastrian berger )was available on stations. Thanks
Good suggestion, but unfortunately, I have no influence on the cooks in the stations.
1:05 - 2:20 - What a curious' beat'! - What is the piston arrangement?
Indeed. They are normally 4 cylinders: two for the wheels and two (internal) for the cog system. The exhaust beat is quite strange, but I could not figure out whether this is normal or the consequence of a problem. Last year this locomotive (HG 2/3) was already doing the same sound.
Quick mechanical question: When the loco's cog engages with the rack rail... how does that work? it seems like it would derail/damage the cog if the teeth of the cog hit the teeth of the rail....
The rack level is increasing progressively and the cog wheel is left to rotate freely until it is fully engaged.
@@KochersbergTV Thanks! was curious about that :-)
What is the fuel source?
Coal
chuggy chuggy chuggy
why no tender engines?
I am still to see a rack locomotive fitted with a tender. Anyway, the total distance of the line, about 37 km, would not justify a separate tender.
cog railway?
Yes, on 90 per cent of the line. Flat parts, in railway stations and on level crossings have no rack.
Jagged rails
Yes. It is done on purpose.
Genialer Film!
Die Schweizer sind die besten Eisenbahner ;))
