The RhB line from Chur to Arosa runs as an almost self contained entity within the RhB network. It is on the standard gauge side of Chur station with the platforms on the street outside. This shiny red EMU arriving from Arosa looks very new:



The three coaches are not enough for summer traffic, so additional coaches are added starting with an open sided gondola wagon



and then the famous blue "Arosa" coach following by some more mundane "little red ones". There is no driving trailer, so the EMU set runs around the train at each end of the line.



The line climbs steeply up the northern side of a river valley until it reaches Langwies where there is yet another station which looks like an oversized musical box



At Langwies the railway takes a sharp turn right and crosses the river valley on this splendid viaduct:



For the final part of the journey, the train skirts the Untersee before climbing a steep incline through a tunnel into the station.



The station is on the far side of the Obersee, where the red flash of colour betrays the presence of a train.



And finally, to give you a flavour of what it looks and sounds like in motion, a short video....
