Along the Albula Line

Along the Albula Line

It’s late afternoon on a perfect autumn day, and this Bernina Express train on the Rhätische Bahn is returning from its long, scenic journey to Tirano, Italy. It has just crossed the Landwasser Viadukt and is heading up the Albula Line of the RhB, bound for Chur.

Its passengers have seen an impressive variety of Alpine landscapes, including stretches above the tree-line and snow-capped peaks on the Bernina route; and many more stunning vistas will present themselves in the wildromantisch territory of the Albula Line, before it descends to the confluence of the Hinterrhein and Vorderrhein at Reichenau-Tamins and begins its sprint up the Rhine to its terminus at Chur.

More views along the Rhätische Bahn may be found in my Rhätische Bahn and Kodachrome folders.
