076 BLS South Ramp - Spring 2005 - BLS Sud Rampe - Domodossola to Goppenstein
BLS South Ramp spring 2005
from Domodossola to Goppenstein
In 1913 the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon line was opened and became
an important connection from Bern to the South of Switzerland and
onto Italy.
In 2000 work on the Lötschberg base tunnel started, which was
opened at the end of 2007 when the timetable changed dramatically.
REOS filmed this famous line in May 2005. We see EW IV passenger
shuttle’s, RE 460’s on Intercity trains and Euro-city’s consisting of
Belgium or Cisalpino coaches as well as local services run by the BLS.
Freight trains are run by SBB and BLS. We witness many through
trains to Italy, including numerous rolling road trains, as well as the
BLS car shuttle to Iselle and base-tunnel construction trains to
Goppenstein.
We visit every station on the line and bridges are shown from
different perspectives and we take a look at the beautiful
countryside surrounding the line whilst the birds sing and the sun
shines.
We start with a short visit to the yard at Domodossola in Italy and
from Iselle/Varso to Goppenstein maps are added to point out camera
positions.
We only use original sound recordings, without any additional
commentary or music.
Running time; 99 minutes.
