🚆 4K Cab ride from the city depot to a panorama of the alps (Switzerland | S3 Zürich - Wetzikon)

Welcome aboard the S3 service on this early spring morning! Our train is parked in the depot Zurich Herdern in the middle of Zurich and we are getting ready for our upcoming trip to Wetzikon. It takes roughly half an hour to fully check and prepare a train of this type and length. This includes an exterior walkaround, checking the train protection systems in both cabs at the train ends, checking the brakes and data input for the trains cab radio and protection system. Now that we’re ready, you’ll experience the whole run from the depot into Zurich Highlands, where a fantastic panoramic view over the Alps awaits us! Until we are there, we pass through the center of Zurich and will soon reach Effretikon. There we will turn into our single track section with lower speeds, shorter platforms (200m instead of the usual 300m on the ZVV network) and fantastic views. Enjoy the ride! Sorry about the blue-yellow shifting in the beginning from the camera, it will stop soon. The squeaking
