REOS 072: Kandersteg station in winter

DVDR: € 16,00   

Kandersteg is known by most people for the car transporter shuttle to Goppenstein. It is also a popular holiday destination in both summer and winter. Kandersteg lies on the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon (BLS) line, which connects Wallis and Italy to Central Switzerland.

In February 2005, we visited the station after fresh snowfall and clear blue winter skies. Snow clearing takes place as we watch different trains pass through this beautiful setting.

The passenger trains consist of EW IV push-pull consists powered by SBB Re 460s and Euro-City’s trains of Belgian and “Cisalpino” coaching stock, also hauled by Re 460s.

Freight trains are hauled by the BLS or SBB. The connection to Italy and the different loco types guarantee a variety of trains. Helper locos are uncoupled on platform 1. The overhead wire “snaps”, and we get a demonstration of how to fix this without delaying the traffic.

We end this film with evening scenes during heavy snowfall.

We only use original sound recordings, without any spoken commenrtary or music.

Running time: 58 minuten.

DVD+R, Stereo/Dolby®-surround.
