Voralpen-Express (Luzern – St. Gallen)
The gentle side of Switzerland: It’s not all 4000-metre mountains and deep ravines. On the Voralpen-Express, visitors discover a different kind of Switzerland – undulating hills, picturesque villages and lovely orchards.

---- For clickable index please expand description! ---
A long weekend in eastern Switzerland and southern Germany, staying overnight at St. Gallen, Lindau and Munich.
Including tours along the SOB Voralpen-Express route, Rond om de Säntis charter with one of the biggest steamers in Europe, former SNCF 141.R.1244 Mikado, as well as old class Re 4/4 and Re 6/6 electrics with 420 109 in nostalgic Swiss Express livery. Via the Appenzeller Bahnen rack railway line to Altstätten, I moved to Lake Constance vineyards near Lindau for the diesel class 218 hauled EuroCity trains Munich - Zürich / Basel, spotted 218 460 in heritage livery three times in total. Next day on through Allgäu, the arrival at Munich was delayed due to hailstorm damage. Tuesday morning a friend took me to the Mühldorf line and Garching for class 218 and 628 commuter trains plus diverted sleeper trains from Salzburg due to the mainline via Rosenheim being closed for construction work.

The SLM Re 456 is a four-axis locomotive with inverter technology developed by SLM and BBC (later ABB) in the late 1980s and designed for Swiss private railways.
The locomotive is therefore sometimes referred to as KTU locomotive, short for licensed transport companies (KTU), which term at that time included the private railways, but not the SBB.

Herisau is a municipality of the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland. It is the seat of the canton's government and parliament; the judicial authorities are situated in Trogen.
The central hamlet and the houses around the central square, the Protestant church of 1580, the houses Wetter and zur Rose (both 1737), the hamlet Schwänberg and the government building with the state archive are listed as heritage sites of national significance.
Together with other Alpine towns Herisau engages in the Alpine Town of the Year Association for the implementation of the Alpine Convention to achieve sustainable development in the Alpine Arc.

St. Gallen or traditionally St Gall, in German sometimes Sankt Gallen is a Swiss town and the capital of the canton of St. Gallen. It evolved from the hermitage of Saint Gall, founded in the 7th century. Today, it is a large urban agglomeration (with around 160,000 inhabitants) and represents the center of eastern Switzerland. Its economy consists mainly of the service sector. Internationally, the town is known as the home of the University of St. Gallen, one of word's leading business schools.
The main tourist attraction is the Abbey of Saint Gall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Abbey's renowned library contains books from the 9th century.
The official language of St. Gallen is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect. The city has good transport links to the rest of the country and to neighbouring Germany and Austria. It also functions as the gate to the Appenzellerland.

A travers la Suisse Centrale avec le Voralpen Express (2018)
FR - Bonjour. Avec cette vidéo, je vous emmène en Suisse Centrale, dans le canton de Schwyz.
Nous allons à la découverte du Voralpen Express, train qui relie les villes de Lucerne à St-Gall en 2h15 pour 125 kms. Ce train créé en 1992 a fêté ses 25 ans en 2017. Il est assuré par la SOB, la Sud-Ost-Bahn. Entre Arth-Goldau et Rapperswil, le train grimpe des pentes atteignant 50 p. 1000 pour atteindre 933 mètres d'altitude sur le plateau de Rothenthurm.
Lors de ma visite en août 2018, six convois étaient en ligne :
- 3 rames sandwichs encadrées par des Re 456 ;
- 2 rames NPZ de type Colibri série RBDe 561 ;
- 1 rame mixte composée d'une RBDe 561 et d'une Re 446.
D'ici fin 2019, les SOB auront mis en service les nouvelles rames Traverso de chez Stadler. Ceci sonnera le glas des belles locomotives décorées des séries Re 446 et Re 456.
Aussi je vous propose d'accompagner ces belles locomotives sur le parcours entre Arth-Goldau et Rapperswil.
Bon divertissement
DE - Hallo oder Grüezi. In diesem Video entführe ich Sie in die Centralschweiz, genauer gesagt in den Canton Schwyz.
Wir entdecken den Voralpen Express der zwischen Luzern und St-Gallen verkehrt. Er braucht 2 Stunden und 15 Minuten für diese 125 kms lange Strecke zu fahren. Dieser Zug wurde im Jahr 1992 gegründet und hat 2017 seinen 25. Jubiläum gefeiert. Er wird von der Süd-Ost-Bahn betrieben
Zwischen Arth-Goldau und Rapperswil muss der Zug Steigungen von 50p. 1000 überwenden um dem 933 M.ü.M Plateau von Rothenthurm zu erreichen.
Bei meinem Besuch im August 2018 waren 6 verschiedene Züge unterwegs, und zwar :
- drei Sandwichzüge mit Re 456 ;
- zwei NPZ Triebzüge ;
- eine Hybridcomposition mit einen NPZ und eine Re 446.
Bis ende 2019 werden die neue Traverso Triebwagen in betrieb genommen. Dann ist es schluss für die schöne Werbeloks der Reihen Re 446 und 456.
Begleiten wir diesen Zug auf der Strecke zwischen Arth-Goldau et Rapperswil.
Viel Spass beim anschauen....
