In this video, you can enjoy the cab ride - train driver's view from the famous Pilatus cogwheel Railway on a steep descent from Pilatus Kulm to Alpnachstad and back to Pilatus Kulm in 4K/60 frames per second.

The Pilatus Cogwheel Railway opened in 1889. With a gradient of up to 48 percent, it is the steepest cogwheel railway in the world and the only one of its kind. The 4,618-meter-long railway from Alpnachstad to Pilatus Kulm is passing alpine meadows and striking rock formations. Since its opening, until today, that has not changed.
