Remarks & Notes |
Test drive for torsional vibration testing of "Giruno" (SBB designation) or SMILE (StadlerRail designation) RABe 501 # 005 on the single track line Etzwilen-Seuzach, between Ossingen and Thalheim-Altikon. This line has only few traffic (one regional train per hour and direction) and many curves of medium radius, the track speed is between 80 and 95 km/h. Another train of this series set a new velocity record for a swiss train in Switzerland, with 275 km/h (170,8 miles per hour) in the Gotthard Base Tunnel some days ago. |
