Berninabahn, part 1: from Pontresina to Ospizio Bernina

Part 2 is here: https://youtu.be/mDThZnyUIwk

In 2005 the REOS team visited the Berninabahn in the
Southern Switzerland.

The line was completed on 5th July 1910 and trains only ran
during the summer months between St. Moritz and Tirano.

Trains ran on 750 volt DC until 1935 when it was changed to
1000 volt DC which is still used today. The line was almost
bankrupt when it merged with the Rhatischebahn in 1944.
The RhB renovated the line to provide a winter service as well
as for military reasons.

With a 7% grade it is one of the steepest adhesion lines in
the world and with a height of 2253 above see level it is the
highest railway crossing in the Alps.

The line was added to the Unesco list of World Heritage
sites on 7th July 2008.

REOS filmed the line from Pontresina to Cavaglia extensively
with long pan shots of complete trains as well as views of
bridges over the wild mountain rivers, stations and the
spectacular curves provide surprising views of the line. There
is a great variety on rolling stock resulting in fantastic
coverage of this special line during typical Swiss mountain
weather.

We only use original sound recordings without any music or
commentary. Maps are added to point out camera locations.
