Golden Pass Express Interlaken - Gstaad - Montreux, Switzerland a scenic track gauge changing train

The Golden Pass Express is the first commercial train that can change the width of the wheels between the standard gauge tracks, like in the rest of Europe and narrow gauge tracks (1000 mm). Even in a country like Japan where they have been experimenting with these techniques this hasn't been seen yet (because that are high-speed trains, there are diffrent standards). Even though track gauge changing trains aren't unique between standard gauge and wider gauges, this train is unique because it's the first time to see this between standard gauge and narrow gauge.

Even though the technique is unique, this is not where this train ride is all about, this train ride is about the great stunning views from this scenic journey along the Swiss Alps and also a direct connection along the Golden Pass Line route between Interlaken (where you also find connection on the Luzern - Interlaken Express, what is a part of the Golden Pass Line as well) via Gstaad to Montreux.

Join me along this very special railway journey in Switzerland.
