World first combined narrow/standard gauge train |
| Description: |
The bogie of the GoldenPass Express changes the track gauge within a few seconds and with the passengers on board. A total of eight minutes are required, including the locomotive change and the corresponding checks. However, changing track width and height is not the only hurdle. There is an electrical voltage difference between the MOB and BLS networks: 900 volts (direct current) on the metre-gauge network and 15 kV / 16.7 Hz (alternating current) on the standard gauge network. This requires a change of locomotives. They do not have variable bogies. In Zweisimmen, for example, the BLS locomotive hands over the wagon convoy to the MOB locomotive. |

World first combined narrow/standard gauge train |
| Description: |
Gauge change installation. The train can pass with a speed of 15 kmh / 9.3 mph for chaning gauge. Other companies have also equipped their trains with variable bogies, such as the Spanish Talgo. However, the bogie designed by MOB and further developed by Alstom is the only one with such a strong widening (from 1 m to 1.435 m, i.e. by +43.5 %) and a simultaneous increase in the body of the car from 350 mm to 550 mm. No other bogie with variable track gauge is able to do this. |
