Die Schönsten Bahnstrecken

Switzerland, Thusis to Tiefencastel:

This is a very nice ride through central Switzerland, Interlaken to Luzern:

(Notice the brooms at 45:45? They're to remind passengers to keep their hands inside the car.)

This is a hike on Galenstock Mountain in south-central Switzerland:

A train ride up the Matterhorn:

Every time I see the beginning of this video I can hear SNL's Dieter saying, "Now is the time on Sprockets when we go off the edge of the world!"

At 24 minutes we get stuck behind a work train. You may want to skip ahead to 26 minutes.

A little off-topic here... There's a reason why tank cars have to be properly vented...

Now on to the Netherlands (Holland.) No tulips in this video, we're out of season, and no oldschool windmills, either, they're nearly all gone. There is a lot of neat architecture, though.

This ride goes from Gouda to the Haag.

It's filmed from inside what's arguably the ugliest locomotive in the world, (you can see one at 8:43) but the view up there is great.

One of my favorites, from Domodossola in northern Italy to Locarno in southern Switzerland. Best viewed in full screen.

The stops last a while, so pause the video and move ahead a little at a time until the "I do not like waiting" box disappears from the upper left corner.

i have been there,
