★ 4K 🇨🇭Geneva - Bern - Lucerne cab ride, speeds up to 200km/h [07.2020]

Thanks for joining us in looking at another of Switzerland's main lines, in amazing weather. This video is a testimony to Swiss engineering, precision & dedication to quality (although many still find enough to complain about, haha). If you watched the recent Geneva - Bern - Zürich trip, we'll be on the same line for the first 43 minutes of the video before turning off towards Lausanne and Bern in Denges-Echandens, only this time with reduced speeds as we're not in a tilt train. The most beautiful part is arguably the section between Lausanne & Palézieux overlooking the lake of Geneva whilst passing through hillsides covered in vineyards and traditional Swiss houses. Enjoy the changing scenery as we make our way towards the capital, Bern and enter the station from an uncommon direction for an InterCity train (most trains enter and leave from the same side - Bern used to be a terminus station). After Bern we'll hit up the "Bahn 2000" line, the only open track in Switzerland allowing speeds of 200km/h. Our train is the only train on the high speed line to bypass Olten, by taking the route towards Aarburg-Oftringen in Rothrist and then a connecting track to the line Sursee - Luzern, which was famously built during World War II to allow direct trains between Bern and Luzern in the case of an emergency. Towards Luzern, some dark storm clouds create a special atmosphere as we approach our final stop. Today's locomotive is an SBB Re 460 "Lok 2000" produced between 1992 - 1996, of which 119 were produced and form the backbone of SBB's standard push-pull long distance rolling stock. They are currently going through a modernisation program to allow a further 20 years of service, including new traction converters, which changes the drive sound. The locomotive we are in today is still in it's original form, meaning you will be hearing the old traction converters working their magic. Next to the station names, I’ve included altitude in meters. The maximum allowable speeds are also shown on the bottom right of the screen as they come into effect. On a number of occasions where the speed is limited due to signalling, the signal colours are shown at the top right of the screen. This is to help viewers make sense of the different colour combinations. As we pass junctions, I have included purple comments on available videos in the respective directions. These videos are (or will be) linked below for your convenience. I have included all gradients I was able to make out for those who are interested. They are shown in the top right corner with a promille value (1/10%), as they are displayed to drivers.
