Picture of the day
The
Bernina railway
is a
single-track
,
metre-gauge railway
line forming part of the
Rhaetian Railway
. It links the spa resort of
St. Moritz
, in the
canton
of
Graubünden
, Switzerland, with the town of
Tirano
, in the
Province of Sondrio
, Italy. This photograph shows a train near the top of the
Bernina Pass
at an elevation of more than 2,100 metres (6,900 ft). The two ABe 4/4
multiple units
have excess power with only two passenger cars, so some freight is carried along at the rear of the train.
