Un train c’est aussi sortir un engin du dépôt, aller chercher ses voitures ou ses wagons et à l’arrivée C’est manœuvrer pour recompose le train de retour.

Not all the way home of course but that would almost complete an "Average Day in A Swiss Rail Engineer's Life." Thank you so much for the experience.

Also hard to remember that the road was not there. It was a trail or wagon track. One very fun thing for me with this old cab is seeing the quite clear negative reflected back onto the windscreen of what I am not seeing in the white glare as we exit tunnels. No ones camera seems to be really fast at adjusting from the dark of the tunnel to normal sunlight. Yet somehow what ever is reflecting that negative image cuts the intensity enough so the negative image has no glare. I will miss this as the old engines disappear.

My father is from northern Italy...Sondrio. I enjoy the ride that you present from Tirano to St Moritz. My father spent some time constructing railways in Switzerland back in the 1950s. He told me that the sleepers they used were made of steel. "Sleeper" is the Australian term for the items that hold the rails together. The Americans call them "ties". I notice that you have timber sleepers at many of the platforms or "stations" and concrete or steel in other places. In my state, Queensland, in Australia, We use concrete sleepers everywhere. Easy question...are your high speed rail trains functioning on standard gauge tracks?

Lovely cab ride as always! Enjoyed the shunting procedures both at Landquart at St. Moritz. The initial quick run from Landquart to Schiers at mostly 80 kph and then the curves and climbing up made a really nice video especially with the snow in the later half. The new Bever station also looks very nice! Just one doubt - at the beginning it is mentioned that the regular train for the run was supposed to be the Allegra ABe 8/12. However I have observed in real life and in videos that the RegioExpress between Landquart and St. Moritz consists of the old coaches with mostly a Ge 4/4 II. Even in this video itself, the 2 REs that you cross in the opposite direction (St. Moritz to Landquart) are with a Ge 4/4 II and not the Allegra. So was it really supposed to be the Allegra for the run? Anyway, thanks for posting this wonderful ride!

Since March 2021 it has been everything changing a lot. The train 1327 is still planned to have an Allegra ABe 8/12. This trains Landquart-St.Moritz will consist of new Capricorns ABe 4/16 by December 2021.

@@dellacapaolo Oh okay. Personally I am not a fan of the newer trains. I honestly don't like the look of the Capricorns much. The Allegras are okay though. Even on the main Albula line, in 2019, I got one of those Alvra trainsets for one of my journeys and it was quite difficult to take photos through the glass. The openable windows are only few and at one end of the train. I prefer the conventional locomotive hauled trains with the old coaches. They look the best and all the windows can open. I understand that modernisation is for the benefit of all, but still - just stating my honest opinion.
