Over the past few years, REOS have made many recordings at Arth-
Goldau station. Arth Goldau is situated on the busy Gotthard line at
the junction of the Luzern and Zug/ Zürich routes. The station of the
Rigi-Bahn is built on a bridge above the mainline to Luzern. At the
southern end of the station, a single line branches northwards towards
Rapperswill; this line belongs to the Südostbahn. Due to the quantity
of routes converging, there is almost a continual procession of trains
arriving and departing.

Every hour, a Euro City and Inter City train arrive from the direction
of the Gotthard Tunnel, alternating in destinations to Zürich and
Luzern. These trains provide a cross platform connection with each
other. The “Voralpen-Express”, hauled by colourful locos also arrives
hourly. This service connects Luzern with the North-East of Switzer-
land. The smaller stations on the route are served by NPZ shuttle
trains belonging to the SBB and SOB, and can be witnessed in various
liveries. Some freight trains are routed in between the many
passenger trains.

During a period of 3 weeks in the summer, every Saturday and Sunday
at 10:00 am, a steam loco “pushes” the historical train up the Rigi-
Kulm. We made detailed recordings of this specially built rack and
pinion loco including a “smokey” departure from the station. We also
give attention to the “standard” trains of the Rigi-Bahn.

Not only did we film the station from the platforms, but also included
are long distance shots and panoramic views of trains travelling to and
from Luzern and Zürich. These provide a good impression of the land-
scape around Arth and Goldau.

Recordings were made throughout the year between 2000 and 2003.
Maps are added to locate camera positions used. We only use original
sound recordings, without any music or commentary.

Running time aprox. 75minutes.
