Looking forward to some nice cabride vids from this line. My favorite from this part of Europe is the Bernina Express across the alps from Switzerland to Italy. Definetly worth a slow tv watch if you love trains. (e.g. ▶ this video )

I've been watching and unreasonable amount of train cab ride videos on youtube. Some how it's a good way to unwind at the end of the day, and pretend I can actually go somewhere :-) ▶ this video

I'm personally very fond of train cab ride videos (e.g. ▶ this video ). You can find these on YouTube with music as well, but pairing them with local radio (in this case one of the SWR channels [link] ) could also be nice in this project as a non-car option.
