safe and happy.
00:01:33,494 --> 00:01:36,Man: The challenge here is,
because the natural wall
00:01:36,263 --> 00:01:40,Is more or less vertical,
so we have to find a way.
00:01:40,801 --> 00:01:43,Narrator: It was the challenge
of one epic climb
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:48,That faced swiss engineers
in the mid 1800s.
00:01:51,145 --> 00:01:52,The swiss alps,
00:01:52,713 --> 00:01:56,Part of the largest
mountain range in europe

to some of its highest peaks.
00:02:00,454 --> 00:02:03,But with their unrelentingly
steep terrain,
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:04,These mighty mountains
00:02:04,492 --> 00:02:07,Are a railroad's
most formidable opponent.

to the track and the engine
00:02:17,605 --> 00:02:19,Made it one of

impossible mountain climb.
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:26,Man: Look at that sunshine.
00:02:26,347 --> 00:02:28,Look at the rigi mountain.
00:02:28,249 --> 00:02:30,I love it.
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:35,And now you can hear the engine
start working hard,
00:02:35,556 --> 00:02:38,Because it's very steep on rigi,
00:02:38,359 --> 00:02:40,And now listen to that noise.

00:02:42,596 --> 00:02:47,He needs to shovel
500 kilograms of coal
00:02:47,801 --> 00:02:52,Into the boiler
up to rigi staffel.
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:56,Narrator: Today, this train is
one of the most popular
00:02:56,777 --> 00:03:00,Tourist trains in switzerland,
but in the early 1800s,
00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:03,The only way to reach
the dizzying heights
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:08,Of mount rigi
was on foot or by carriage.
00:03:08,489 --> 00:03:13,In 1869, engineer and locomotive
builder niklaus riggenbach
00:03:13,394 --> 00:03:15,Was commissioned
to connect vitznau
00:03:15,329 --> 00:03:17,On the shores of lake lucerne
00:03:17,231 --> 00:03:23,With the summit of mount rigi
5,898 feet above sea level.

slipping and losing traction
00:03:32,313 --> 00:03:35,On other railroads
with shallower gradients,
00:03:35,182 --> 00:03:36,Riggenbach knew his solution
00:03:36,951 --> 00:03:40,Would require
radical rethinking.
00:03:40,321 --> 00:03:44,The railroad would have to climb
over 3,600 feet
00:03:44,225 --> 00:03:46,In just over 3 miles.
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,♪
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:03,♪
00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:06,Narrator: Riggenbach designed
a toothed rack rail
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,Between the running rails.
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:11,A cog wheel was added to
the center of the wheel axle
00:04:11,385 --> 00:04:15,To mesh with this rack rail
and give the train traction.

the rigi railway
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:32,Was the first rack-and-pinion
railroad in europe
00:04:32,973 --> 00:04:35,To conquer a mountain.

built a stairway to heaven.
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:44,Narrator: Taking nearly
two years to complete,
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:47,Riggenbach had finally brought
this mountain to the masses...
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:52,♪
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:56,And today,
as many as 500,000 people a year
00:04:56,063 --> 00:04:57,Make the journey to the summit.
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:03,Reichel: Up here, this is one of
the best views
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:06,I ever have seen
in my whole life.
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,I have been to
many mountaintops,
00:05:09,043 --> 00:05:13,But none of them had
that panorama as we do.
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:15,Now I know why riggenbach
conquered the mountain
00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:17,With that tiny railroad,
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:21,But up here,
it's only half of the problem.
00:05:21,322 --> 00:05:22,Narrator: Having managed to get
the tourists
00:05:22,956 --> 00:05:24,To the top of the mountain,
00:05:24,325 --> 00:05:26,The elevated incline
presented riggenbach
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:29,With a challenge
of equally tough proportions.
00:05:31,565 --> 00:05:34,With a 25% gradient,
00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:37,The rate of descent
was creating too much stress
00:05:37,204 --> 00:05:40,On the boiler and band brakes
of his locomotive
00:05:40,574 --> 00:05:42,As well as damaging the track.
00:05:45,179 --> 00:05:47,Reichel: Usually, on an incline,
00:05:47,014 --> 00:05:50,Most railways
encountered very problem,
00:05:50,417 --> 00:05:53,Because the wear on the brakes
was so high
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:54,That the brakes could fail,
00:05:54,621 --> 00:05:58,And so you rode down without
any brakes and could derail,
00:05:58,359 --> 00:06:01,And many accidents happen.
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:03,Narrator:
For a train full of passengers,
00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:05,This could've been catastrophic.
00:06:05,432 --> 00:06:10,Riggenbach needed to find a way
to slow the train down.
00:06:10,504 --> 00:06:13,Reichel: Rigi was too steep
for normal braking systems,
00:06:13,507 --> 00:06:16,And so he decided to use
a different brake system,
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:21,A brake system
which could not fall apart.
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:24,Narrator: Riggenbach surmised
that if the engine was
00:06:24,184 --> 00:06:26,Strong enough to push
the locomotive
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:27,And carriages up the mountain,
00:06:27,788 --> 00:06:32,Then it should be strong enough
