The last year of the old Lötschberg, the first of the new............ The Lötschberg as we have known it for over 100 years will come to an end, but from its ashes will rise a new super railway UNDER the majestic Swiss Alps. In the meantime there is so much to remember from the old line along which we make a sentimental journey. We start at Spiez by the Thuner See and watch trains prepare for the arduous journey. Then we meander up the north ramp watching trains as we go. As far as Frutigen the changes to the route will be fairly minor, but here the new base tunnel begins. We inspect the site and have a look at the underground working before heading on to the Kanderviadukt. We get some splendid views from the ground and air, then onto the spiral complex at Felsenburg. We “drive” through the 14km tunnel to Goppenstein, use car and helicopter to find some unusual views of the structures that make the south ramp so memorable. We conclude at Brig with some stunning shots over the station and the Rhône valley.

Welcome to the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Mega port and the second largest city in Germany. There is a lot to see and the best way to get orientated is from the Heinrich-Hertz-Turm -the television tower- with commanding views across the city, much of the harbour, the Hbf and beyond. There is a complex public transport system to master: the unusual third rail S-Bahn, the metro (the Hamburger Hochbahn) and the delightful AKN network north of the city. Within the city we visit: the harbour - the second largest container port in Europe - the Cap San Diego Museum ship and, especially for rail enthusiast, the art nouveau Dammtor station and Miniatur-Wunderland- Europe's most visited model railway with 900,000 visitors a year! Our long day out is to another maritime jewel the Hanseatic City of L?beck - where the marzipan comes from - and to L?neburg! As usual we will be suggesting places to stay, to eat and to relax when things get too hectic- as they they can in a city of nearly two million! Narrated Filmed in High Definition.

In this instalment we start at Biel on the northern shore of the Bieler See. We follow the lake south to Neuchâtel and explore this very French town, and make a diversion to La Chaux-de-Fonds to see some narrow gauge freight being transferred.

Back on the lake side, Lac de Neuchâtel this time, we view the NBS / ABS between Bevaix and Grandson. We spend a little time around Grandson – well it’s just so photogenic, then head south through Yverdon-les-Bains to Lausanne.

The rest of the film is spent along side the Lake – Le Léman or Lac de Genève. We visit the town and station itself, St-Prex – where we see recycled glass being railed into Votropack, Neon and naturally Genève. We travel west of that very international city to watch TGVs cross the border into France. East of Lausanne is one of the most attractive stretches of railway line in Europe from Cully to Vevey we watch the trains run along side the lake from vantage points in the vineyards – it’s a tough job but someone has to do it!

The Semmering links Vienna with Italy and Slovenia. Our journey starts at the Südbahnhof for passenger trains, and Kledering -Austria's most important classification yard for freight. At Wiener Neustadt there is a secondary freight yard where trains can be held and prepared, if necessary, before going on to the Semmering. Beyond this the railway runs across the flat Steinfeld through St Egyden and Gloggnitz, where there was, until the advent of high powered electric traction, the base station for the Semmering north ramp. The place where banker locomotives and assistants are attached and detached. The scenic section of the Semmering really begins around Payerbach Reichenau, 82 kilometres from Vienna at an altitude of 494 metres where there are still facilities to hold freight trains before they head for the hills! The section between Klamm and Breitenstein includes a number of short tunnels and viaducts, all the time the line is climbing at 1.9 per cent. This area is very remote and inaccessible, one of the most interesting elements of the whole route! Narrated.

Welcome to Trier in the German state of Rheinland Pfalz. This cabride is a German classic. Just like the Rhine routes, it's a river hugging run through breath taking scenery. There is international interest here as well, the Moselstrecke is the number one route for SNCF freight entering the Federal Republic. In fact we see more Prima locomotives then native RAILION machines on our one hour twenty minute journey.

The run gets really interesting at Punderich where the Mosel run proper begins. Here we take a virtual pause and do a little photograhy from the hills above. At Bullay - an Umweltbahnhof - our train makes its second stop - another great place to watch the thundering freights pass! Then follows the 4.2 km Kaiser Wilhelm tunnel (cut) before Cochem and its fabulous Schloss. The rest of the run is very tight alongside the river through the famous vineyards. It's underneath the high Autobahnbrucke over the Mosel and into Koblenz. Haulage is a DB dual voltage class 181, catch this while you can! There is much off-train camerawork so you can fully enjoy what might be the last year of operation for the class. Filmed from train, land and boat.

The pioneer of mountain railways in Europe. We have made the ascent over the north ramp and reached the summit. Part 4 starts with a look at the Semmering signalling centre then through the tunnel to the south portal and down the line to Mürzzuschlag where the proposed base tunnel would surface. The south ramp is less dramatic than the north but the trains are the same! Bruck an der Mur is the town where the routes to Graz and Slovenia and the route to Austria's southern cities and Italy diverge. We head south towards Graz and visit the narrow gauge mineral railway at Mixnitz. Following the river Mur the Südbahn reaches Graz. We look at the trams and the local railways run by the GKB, and conclude with a visit to Stainz and the museum line - the Stainzerbahn - a 760mm steam worked gem! Narrated RT 95 mins Published April 2008.

Welcome to southern Austria. While the Gotthard railway links the north sea ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam with Italy (Milan and Genoa in particular) the Brenner links the north German ports of Hamburg, Bremerhafen and Bremen with Italy (Verona and points south). The Brenner, like the Semmering, can claim to have had a pass in operation before the 18th century. The railway that followed was built after the Semmering, but before the Gotthard. It was constructed without a base tunnel and so reaches 1,300m at the summit and suffers gradients of 3%. In terms of freight traffic the line is only exceeded by the Gotthard, and ties with the Semmering at 10 million tons a year. Over half of this is inter-modal. Traction is: OBB classes 1016, 1044, 1116 (Taurus) 1144 and 1142. Traction is changed (still!) at Brennero / Brenner except for an elite number of Euroloks from Siemens and Bombardier. We start at the lovely Tyrolian city of Innsbruck, explore the city and its trams and ultra modern Hungerburgbahn funicular and the "mountain" tram to Fulpmes. We conclude at Brenner / Brennero where we watch the RoLa trains being loaded. The mountain countryside is spectacular and our Austrian cameraman knows where to get the best views!
