Today a trip in the north west of Switzerland, heading through some small towns and valleys towards the french border. Interesting is that it was the main connection between Basel and France during the time that Elsass to the north-west of Basel was part of Germany. There was so much traffic, that Porrentruy as a marshalling yard, was ranked 4th in Switzerland in traffic volume. From Porrentruy there were two border crossings by rail. One continues from Porrentruy to the French border station of Delle and then on to Belfort in France. The other connection required a change of direction in Porrentruy and continued through Bonfol into France. Today the line ends in Bonfol. Almost every station along our trip used to be served by SBB Cargo with wagonload freight. Unfortunately SBB Cargo has made many cuts over the years, especially if less than 1 wagon per day was being transported. Liesberg, Delmont, Glovelier & Porrentruy are the only stations still being served currently, with the possibility of future car transport traffic in Courgenay, even though cars are presently transported by truck.

It seems I may be the only one bothered by this, but I'll toss it out there for your consideration: for some reason, in this one video (I did not notice this in your other videos I watched, the camera seems to be pointed down a bit too much. This has a couple of effects for me: 1) The sideways shaking is a little more extreme and 2) The horizon line seems too low, which places an artificial ceiling on everything. This is most evident at stations, where the tops of the station buildings are cut off. My preference would have been that the bottom of the frame be about 3-5 meters further up the track, both minimizing the shakes and providing that desired horizon line that shows more of the sky and the tops of buildings. Then again, maybe nothing has changed and it's just the clouds causing a weird squashed effect to the scene?

Cool views for the current hot weather. I notice these tracks have plow markers. Above 500mm depth of snow (depth of plow on locomotives) what vehicle(s) are used for clearance. Other there the RhB and the Gotthard route I have not seen video of snow clearance equipment nor have I seen anything track side. I would assume the equipment is kept undercover for instant use as required.

Thanks for the video's, they make a welcome relief from sitting at home with dull scenery, I have been playing most of them whilst I have been working from home. I have seen a little of Switzerland and watching these videos encourages me to come back and take one of the rides especially up to St Moritz. Keep them coming.

The first few minutes of this video define the word trust traveling at high speed, single track in the fog. Nightmares are started by the presence of a single headlight ahead. Great video, thanks.
