2000 [SD] Furka-Oberalp-Bahn, from Brig to Oberwald - REOS 026 full DVD

The Brig- Furka - Disentis Bahn ran trains between Brig and
Gletsch between 1914 and 1923. When the Company failed in
1923, the Furka - Oberalp Bahn was formed in 1925 by the Brig -
Visp - Zermatt Bahn and the Rhatische Bahn to run the the trains.

We start at the Furka - Oberalp depot at Glisergrund - just west
of Brig were we see the Glaicer Express locomotive change. We
then run through the streets of Naters, make a stop at Bitch and
see the famous spiral at Grengiols. Our journey continues in the
beautiful valley passing the villages of Lax, Fiesch, Niederwald,
Reckingen and finally arrive at the west end of the Furka base
tunnel at Oberwald.

We see a variety of trains including He 4/4 I (the balcony
locomotive) and the motor luggage cars Deh 4/4 I and II hauling
local trains. We also see HGe 4/4 II locomotives hauling Glacier
Express trains including locomotive number 107 in its striking black livery.

Reos only uses original sound recordings with maps to point out
camera locations.

The recordings were made in August 2000 with a digital camera
