A two-hour driver's-eye cab ride along the Bernina railway from St. Moritz in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. The UNESCO-listed line crosses the Alps at high altitude with steep adhesion gradients.
Why Hacker News points people here: Recommended as relaxing slow-TV, a long scenic video to unwind with.

“I'm personally very fond of train cab ride videos”
Example of a scenic train cab ride video.
I'm personally very fond of train cab ride videos (e.g. this video ). You can find these on YouTube with music as well, but pairing them with local radio (in this case one of the SWR channels link ) could also be nice in this project as a non-car option.
“Some how it's a good way to unwind at the end of the day”
Train cab ride videos as a way to unwind.
I've been watching and unreasonable amount of train cab ride videos on youtube. Some how it's a good way to unwind at the end of the day, and pretend I can actually go somewhere :-) this video

“Definetly worth a slow tv watch if you love trains.”
Bernina Express across the Alps, a slow TV watch.
Looking forward to some nice cabride vids from this line. My favorite from this part of Europe is the Bernina Express across the alps from Switzerland to Italy. Definetly worth a slow tv watch if you love trains. (e.g. this video )
