REOS 004En: Shunting in Disentis/Mustér station

DVDR £ 10,95  € 16,00   

Disentis/Mustér lies in the southern canton of Graubunden. Locos of the Rhätische Bahn(RhB) and the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn(FO) are exchanged in this station, whilst the carriages of the Glacier-Express are shunted. The first part of this film is recorded during beautiful sunny weather in the summer of 1998, just before reconstruction of the station took place. This resulted in the points being manually operated. You could cross the tracks anywhere you wanted and the platforms were short and uneven. Witness shunting of the Glacier-Express and locos of the RhB and FO being exchanged, while the small Tm 2/2 shunting tractor moved carriages to the sidings. Between 1998 and 2000, the station has been under reconstruction. Part two is filmed in January 2001,and shows the "new" station of Disentis/Mustér. The points are remote controlled, you are no longer allowed to cross the tracks and the new platforms are longer and provide shelter from the bad weather.

The recordings of part one, filmed in August 1998, are taken with an analogue camcorder. The recordings in January 2001 are filmed using a digital camera. We only use original sound recordings, without any additional music or commentary. Subtitles provide information about the trains.

Running time: 53 minutes.
