🚆 Blue hour cab ride! Tilting train in winter wonderland (Switzerland | IC5 St. Gallen - Zürich)

We have been to St. Gallen before but never drove back - time to change that! Welcome to St. Gallen, the biggest city in northeastern Switzerland. We're sat aboard an ICN (Intercity tilting train) bound for Lausanne. The sun just started rising, giving us a beautiful cab ride during the blue hour. It's only three stops until we reach Zurich Main Station an hour later. A quick ride with fast curves and beautiful views awaits you here! If you'd like to continue the ride to Biel, you may do so in Zurich. To show you the differences in speed between tilting trains and regular trains, the speeds will be displayed in the upper right corner, if applicable. If no speed is shown, tilting trains are not allowed to go faster than regular trains. If you pay close attention to the numbers, you'll notice they change all the time and on different points for the different train categories. This is the number one reason why I don't include speeds in my videos. I know some of my viewers have been asking, but the differences with different train types are just too confusing for those untrained with our regulations. One thing is explained easily though: The indicated tilting train speeds are the absolute maximum for this route, it doesn't get higher. A little information on tilting trains: The idea behind tilting trains is to allow for faster cornering speeds than regular trains. This reduces travel time without the need to build new high-speed lines or heavily modifying existing tracks. Just compare a regular train to a car and a tilting train to a motorbike. Cornering fast in a car is possible, but wears the tires faster, is more dangerous than ordinary driving and the lateral forces are unpleasant to the passengers. On a motorbike, it is normal to lay into curves, which results in a little bit more pressure into the direction of seating, instead of lateral forces. Tilting trains are usually lighter than regular trains and the center of mass moves into the curve while tilting, reducing stress onto its own wheels and the infrastructure when compared to the same speed without tilting. But it is a fact that the higher speeds do cause more wear, even if it is reduced by the tilting motion. Everything comes at a price after all...
