Here are some more railway photos taken during our summer holiday in the Graubunden, eastern Switzerland A turntable at the south eastern end of the standard gauge side of Chur station ![]() A view of the south eastern end of Chur station. ![]() The standard gauge track is on the left; the metre gauge RhB is on the right. Chur is the end of the line for standard gauge passenger trains. The standard gauge track does extend to the Donat / Ems where there is significant industry with rail access. It's always worth popping into to Zurich Hbf to find out what's in. This summer lunchtime, it's SBB (no surprise), SNCF and FS. There was no DB ICE or OBB Railjet this time ![]() Fancy liveries are not as common on the Re460s as they were a few years ago, but they are still a few about. ![]() I wasn't quick enough to get a good shot of this double headed oil tanker train arriving in Landquaart as I was on a bicycle at the time. Seeing the VTG logo reminds me that I've seen two others last week - one in the Czech Republic and one on the way home from Heathrow... ![]() We also had a trip up to the north east to visit the Rheinfall, Europe's largest waterfall. We then went on to visit Schaffhausen and caught a glimpse of this local service crossing the Rhine. ![]() Back at the Rheinfall itself, there are lines on both sides. On the southern side there's a railway viaduct just upstream from the falls. I was just lucky enough to capture this train as it crossed. ![]() The line on the northern side is quite some way up the side of the valley. The train is the black thing in the centre of the photo ![]()
