Brienz and Rothorn Bahn Mountain Railway. Part 1.
A trip up the Steam worked, 2ft 7 1/2 inch, Brienz and Rothorn Mountain Railway, in Switzerland. First part, is from Brienz Station, at an altitude of 1856 ft above sea level, to Planalp, an intermediate station, where the locos top up with water. The engine was built, very recently, in 1996, in a batch of about 4, and joins the other fellow steam engines on the line, some dating from the nineteenth century, and gaining the famous nickname, 'Kneeling Cows'.

Swiss Railways
Views of the Standard and Metre gauge railways of Switzerland. Firstly, some frieght trains near Gotthard, famous for its pass, and very, very long tunnel. Secondly, a look at the lake and the Paddle Steamer 'Lotschberg', as well as some metre gauge traffic, at Brienz. Brienz, as many will know, is the bottom terminus of the Brienz and Rothorn Steam Rack Railway. A possible thing to come? Thirdly, some more metre gauge traffic at Realp, at the foot of the Furka pass. The station only serves a population of around 160, but is used for car transport trains, to carry travellers along the rail route, rather than negotiating the Furka pass itself, like we did. (In low thick cloud may I add!)

It provides connection between Grutschalp and Murren, climbing 147 metres over a 4 km stretch. The entire line offers magnificent views of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and the mountain chain comprising the Eiger, Monch and the Jungfrau, depending on the weather :) Mine wasn't the best, though
