#CrossBorderRail Extra Day 03 Intro

PeerTube
There’s a bus! Now drive according to the worst Italian stereotypes. Please!

27 mins says Google Maps

I need this bus to do it in 38 minutes. With no stops and on an empty road…

It’s a good start - the driver is going quite fast through the tunnels 😀

Made it! Rail replacement bus left 6 mins late (07:11 instead of 07:05) but arrived at Colico 10 mins early (07:42 instead of 07:52)

So I’m now in the train to Tirano and on schedule for the rest of the day 💪

And I’ve made it to the Rhätische Bahn

I’m on the regular local train, not the Bernina Express

#FensterAuf the whole way. Perfect.

I’m mostly using my SLR to photograph here (with the strap it’s safer through an open window!) so I’ll post more pics later. But this is a taster

Rhätische Bahn

Landwasser Viaduct pics are better going up, and I was descending from Filisur. But this isn’t bad 😊

From earlier in the route
- street running Tirano
- Brusio viaduct loop
- Lago Bianco

My route: Tirano - Pontresina - Samedan - Filisur - Reichenau - Chur

@jon
WOW - still snow and ice - must be very high
@Island_Martha about 2150m
@jon
WOW!
@Island_Martha it’s UNESCO listed. And it deserves it. It’s extraordinary engineering and spectacular.
