Steam Adventure - With SNCF 241-A-65 into the "Seeland"

This movie shows a ride with the coal powered SNCF 241-A-65 steam engine from Stein-Säckingen at the Rhine River to Aarberg in the center of the Swiss "Seeland" region. The train runs upgrade through the Frick Valley to Bözberg Pass, then downgrade to Brugg and onwards to Othmarsingen on the busy Zurich - Bern mainline. From there, the train runs via Aarau - Olten to Oensingen, where the tender is replenished with water. At the foot of the Jura Mountains, the engine is speeding via Solothurn to Biel-Bienne. After switching the engine to the other end, it runs tender first to Lyss on the Biel - Bern secondary line. Once again, the engine is moved to the other side of the train to pull us onwards to Aarberg, a short 10km run from Lyss. Here our journey ends. The video was shot on September 4th, 2015.
Enjoy watching this great ride with Europe's largest coal fired fast train steam engine still in operation.

I can't thank this Railway enough for keeping this beautiful Iron Horse In Service. She really demonstrates what technology from another era was And that she can still get the job done

I personally like the chime whistle over the high pitched one. If you could make the biggest surviving steam engine in Europe to sound like a beast, why wouldn't you?

[@jamesgroccia644]

I think post-Industrial French locomotives have two whistles because you need one high-pitched hooter to signal with MoW and other trains, and a chime to alert trainspotters and waiting passengers not to stand too close.
Also, the 241A isn't the biggest surviving engine in Europe. That title belongs to Germany's fleet of BR52 class 2-10-0 Kriegsgloks.

In Romania , locomotiva nu merge cu tenderul inainte , la tren de călători .

[@louisfavre04]

Yes, if your intention is to use it by way of a link

[@paullubliner6221]

U.S. chime whistles.

[@redcardinalist]

That's because SNCF locos generally used the same style of whistle

Is it possible to win your videos for the public relations of the association?

Vu votre nom vous êtes soit Suisse francophone soit Français. Alors pourquoi vos commentaires en anglais, ne croyez vous pas que votre langue maternelle serait suffisante ?

[@quentintin1]
