★ 4K Tirano — St. Moritz summer cab ride, Italy to Switzerland [06.2020]
In this video, we look at one of Switzerland's most beautiful and unique railways, the Unesco heritage listed Berninabahn — for the first time on Youtube in 4K in this direction. Our last trip in this direction was in Autumn and with the aim to show this route in every season, we now bring you Summer.
The Bernina railway sets a few records, including being the highest railway alpine crossing in Europe (2253m), the highest adhesion railway of the continent, the open air railway with the greatest height difference (1824m) and furthermore one of the steepest adhesion railways (conventional railway without cogs) worldwide, with gradients of up to 7%.
A unique aspect of Switzerland's narrow gauge mountain railways is the mixing of passenger and freight wagons in a single train, with wagons often added or removed at intermediate stops with shunting locomotives. On the Bernina line, the cargo mostly consists of wood on stake cars and derivatives of oil in tank cars.
Special thanks to Paolo for making this video possible and providing a great deal of information included in the video. His channel: www.youtube.com/user/dellacap...
Any questions concerning the trip and the line will gladly be answered by him.
Stay tuned for further RhB videos in 4K.
