Some facts about the train and its journey:
– total length of 1910 meters
– ride of 25 kilometers and 800 height meters from Preda to the Landwasser-viaduct on the UNESCO protected Albulastrecke.
– 25 railcars of the type “Capricorn” pulled this train, each having 4 wagons attached
– they summed up to a power of 35’000 horsepower
– could fit 8600 passangers
– weighs about 3000 tons
– it took 7 train drivers and 21 technicians to manage this beast
– using recuperation they could recycle 4000 kWh of electricity during this ride (yearly used electricity of 3 family households)
– communication between the drivers was established through a military cable phone system

This is what happens if Swiss people say they’re going to do something crazy😂
It would not be a real world record unless the train arrives at the station on time
I checked in Olten and there was no such train. It’s a lie
Was zum Gugus
They should have called it Snowpiercer
Geili Sach
Switzerland 👌👏👍
Imagine arriving at the station and having to walk another km inside the train xD
Lucky not being waiting on crossroad:-)
this is what the first class section of an ICE feels like when you need to catch a train but arrive at the platform from the wrong side
They are testing a real life Snowpiercer.
Is it that one from MOB?
Is that the whole train in the picture or is it edited to have train on all parts of rail in the picture?
