★ 4K Zauberhafte Führerstandsmitfahrt Samedan - Albulabahn - Chur; nach über 110cm Schnee [12.2020]

Welcome to another snowy journey, this time on the world heritage listed Albula Railway. With its 55 bridges and 39 tunnels, it is one of the most spectacular narrow gauge railways in the world. The centerpiece is the 5866m long Albula tunnel, which at 1820m above sea level, is the second highest alpine tunnel in Switzerland. As you will see, a new Albula tunnel is under construction beside the old one, which will replace it in the coming years. For those who are unaware, the Rhaetian railway company has the largest narrow gauge (1m width) network in Switzerland. The gradients are included in the upper right corner in the same format as they appear to the driver. The arrow indicates whether the gradient is up or down, the larger number is the promille value (1/10 of 1%). You will also see station names with their altitude, tunnel and bridge names with their length and year of construction – as well as other interesting information along the way to improve your viewing experience. Our journey ends in Chur, the terminus station of the SBB normal gauge line from Zürich. Many thanks to Paolo, for recording yet another fine video.
