The essence of mountain railroading: engineering (1/2)

This is showing the engineering part of mountain railroading. The Regio Express from Bellinzona takes another curve after the large bridge across the Meienreuss. Underneath is the street to the Sustenpass.

 

There are always two parts involved in mountain railroading: there is the engineering part of laying a track across a mountain with curves, bridges and tunnels.

And there is the massive power needed to bring the trains across the grades.
