Pontresina - Alp Grm - Pontresina cab ride in a Gem 4/4 (54 year old hybrid loco) [10. 2021] - lorirocks777 Brian: Like it. Something a little different. Can it be assumed that the journey is one of the last in cleaning up after the snow shed rebuilds going south on Alp Grum? I also wonder about the trackwork south of Alp Grum station. The layout puts both lines within each others running gauge. Is it just a double curved junction on that gradient is a little difficult/expensive? The diesels stopping could be water in the fuel filter freezing and blocking. Heat transfer from the engine then melts the ice and away we go. All the lakes where liquid so it was not very cold but a night frost and tank internal condensation and fuel is blocked at the filter.

Been watching your videos for some time and this once again does not disappoint. Great ride and especially on such a old version of the locomotive converted from diesel to electric. Wish we here in the USA had such transportation to enjoy our scenic beauty. Amtrak does not come close. One question; what is the noise that regularly emits every 5-10 seconds. Is that via the air brakes? Thanks again for such a wonderful way to see Switzerland.

the incredible hardship for the men that bulit all this in the 1st place. the same happened in the uk, africa, andes, australia, india, sri lanka and many other places, they were very hard men that shaped the world we live in today. even with modern technology the environments these people work to keep the systems running is harsh.

I spent the last three days in Tirano enjoyng the wonderful Bernina line and I want to thank you because with hour videos you made me fell in love with this wonderful railway and with all Swiss Railways!
I confess that i looked the front of all the locomotives to see if there was a cam recording just to say hello to you!

This locomotive may running in electric mode on 1000 V DC on Bernina line.
When this machine goes to 11 KV AC 16, 67 Hz lines, she runs in Diesel modus, or when there is a failure on 1000 V DC power supply.

Can you use one or both engines depending on the load? One would be plenty for just a couple of wagons, I'd have thought

Superb! Thank you!
I would like to see once a filming with an auto-leveling camera, to get a glimpse of ascends/descends.

I just donated. Thanks so much for the lovely videos. I know a lot more about Swiss Rail in the seasons and the lovely scenery.

What a wonderful trip. Out into darkness, return in magnificent technicolor. Thanks Paolo, and for the extra touches.
