🚆 4K Cab ride with a detour on the ÖBB sleeper train (Nightjet St. Margrethen - Zürich, Switzerland)

Welcome aboard the Nightjet sleeper train, pulled by a Siemens Taurus of our Austrian colleagues from Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB)! Trains to and from Austria typically stop at Buchs station in Switzerland, where the train is handed over to either Swiss or Austrian staff. However, due to construction work between Buchs and Feldkirch (AT), the trains are being diverted via St. Margrethen for a full month. Join me on this interesting detour along routes that this train normally doesn't take: After following the main line to Rorschach, we will head north towards Romanshorn along a branch line. There, we will join another main line, which is frequently used by InterCity and regional trains, but not by the Nightjet or Railjet. Other long-distance trains serve the airport, but we do not. Therefore, our route takes us through Kloten, which is typically only served by the S7 service and used by a few freight trains. The final unique part of our journey comes at the end. Due to the closure of the Wipkingen viaduct for construction, we are diverted through the Käferberg tunnel, passing by Hardbrücke station, which is only served by S-Bahn trains. Shortly after, we finally reach Zürich Main Station, the terminus of our journey. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery from the cab!
