After the winter video from Chur to Zrich, many requested a video during the summer months, so here it is. We start in Chur, the terminus station for the normal gauge SBB railway when heading south. In Chur, there are narrow gauge railway connections around the entire southeast Swiss region, operated by the Rhaetian railway, one of Switzerland's largest private operators. As we head northwest through the mountains, we pass a few major lakes before eventually reaching Zrich, the highest frequency station in the largest city of Switzerland

What an incredibly beautiful Country!
I am particularly impressed by the area around Bach (time marks 54: 00 to 55: 00) where access to the lake is in perfect harmony with the presence of the Railway.
We used to have a similar situation in Barrie, Ontario, where short-sighted politicians have achieved the elimination of the Railway in order to pursue their questionable conception of public access to the lake.
As a result, a long distance line, known as the Newmarket subdivision, has been severed and a major city like Orillia is no longer serviced by Rail.
The only thing that detracts from the otherwise idyllic visual sights that Switzerland offers are the wide-spread examples of graffiti vandalism on public structures and most railway freight cars.
Unfortunately, Switzerland, with all its natural and man-made beauty, is not immune to the effects of mental disorders that this illustrates among the defacing vandals!

Hi lorirocks777, Awsome senery on this video, great information of all the locations go through on the video. I am a ex railway worker 1960 to 2001 in the UK. Had many jobs in my career, station staff, Shunter, passed guard, Trackman, signal lampman for oil semifore signals many years ago. Failed loco drivers test 1988 never mind still a good time on the railways. Love your video's bring backs memories. Lol Brian.

Loved this, thanks. I did it in reverse on an organised rail holiday to Switzerland in 2007. We took the Eurocity train direct from Cologne to Chur, reversing at Zurich. Not knowing Swiss railways at all I often wondered how we left Zurich heading east and ended up going west. That 10km tunnel explains it I think!

How can a passenger train in Switzerland NOT stop at Ziegelbrucke? Outrageous! Not Pfaffikon, either? What the heck kind of train is this?

What indescribable beauty Switzerland has. I can't even begin to describe it. Too breathtaking. Looking forward to your next video.

What an exhilarating trip - ripping through all those stations at speed could go to your head. Thanks for the great experience.

Great video! I also watched winter version of this and it's cool to watch both for the contrast between the two seasons.

What is the difference between single, double and triple beeps? Deadman pedal? Cab signals? Overspeeding?
