★ 4K 🇨🇭Cab ride Landquart - Vereina - St Moritz (1250m climb in a locomotive from 1958) [04.2021]

A little over a year since our first trip along this line during winter, Paolo brings us a second trip during the winter - spring transition of 2021. The highlight of this trip is the locomotive we're taking, the oldest of the legendary Ge 6/6 II locomotives from 1958, with the number 702. Currently many older RhB locomotives are being put out of service and scrapped as new rolling stock is made available. The ticking sound you'll hear is typical of older locomotives in Europe - it's the Swiss made Hasler speedometer, with a built in clock and data recorder. UPDATE: The locomotive from this video is now on display at the Swiss museum of transport near Lucerne.

The regular train operating this line can be seen at the start of the video entering the depot. Due to a technical problem, the Ge 6/6 II was able to pull today's train (quite a rare occurrence).

Enjoy the trip as we slowly gain altitude from Landquart at 523m above sea level to St. Moritz at 1775m above sea level, passing through the longest meter gauge railway tunnel in the world (Vereina) on our way and through many beautiful Swiss mountain villages.
