⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Swiss Mountain Railway Driver’s View | Rheineck–Walzenhausen Round Trip!

Step aboard for a driver's view of the unique Rheineck–Walzenhausen mountain railway in Switzerland! This short but dramatic line links the lakeside town of Rheineck on Lake Constance with the hillside village of Walzenhausen, offering stunning views of the Rhine Valley, Lake Constance, and the rolling landscape of eastern Switzerland. 🛤️ About the Rheineck–Walzenhausen Railway: The Rheineck–Walzenhausen line is one of Switzerland’s hidden gems, and is a very unusual railway. It first opened in 1896 as a funicular and was later converted to an adhesion railway in 1958 with rack sections to handle the steep gradients. Today it operates as part of the St. Gallen S-Bahn (line S26) and provides a vital link between the lakeshore and the hills above. Although only 1.9 km in length, the line is full of character, history, and panoramic views, making it a hidden gem of Swiss rail travel. 🚆 About the Train: The line is currently served by a single BDeh 1/2 railcar built in 1958, which was specially adapted for steep rack section on this railway. Its compact size and vintage design make each trip feel especially intimate, offering passengers and railfans a rare driver’s-eye perspective of this quirky mountain railway. However, the car will not be around much longer. The Rheineck–Walzenhausen line is scheduled for modernization in the very near future with a fully automated system that will bring the route into the 21st century. Once this happens, the historic railcar that has faithfully served the line for decades will be retired. 🎥 A Note About This Video: This was one of our early attempts using a new camera and stabilization setup, so you may notice occasional reflections on the glass, small gimbal movements, and some vibration on the downhill portion. Our top priority at the moment is to secure usage of vibration isolators, as well as a better action camera for these sorts of videos. Please remember this channel is an amateur project with very limited resources, and we are deeply grateful for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support.
