Hi Steve,

Thank you for your very quick visit, and appreciation. Of course this is Switzerland, so we don't get excuses here about 'wrong kind of snow' and 'leaves on the track'. Also worth noting that this is purely adhesion worked, and with some steep gradients too,

Best Wishes

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much! Your visit and kind words have made me happy!!
It is hard to believe that so much snow could be there in April, and even harder to believe that the trains keep running. But, as you say, this is Switzerland......!!!

Love Peter

Wonderful April photo, Peter. Great colour, and I love the striking red of the train against the beautiful backdrop.

Thank you Jaap,

Glad you like it. Certainly makes it worthwhile to trek through the deep snow to find the tunnel mouth!

Thank you so much Rosa,

As you know, I certainly like the trains too, but combined with snow there is so much more to go at. Many more will follow !!

Oh this is lovely. these shots always make me pine for the high mountain snows and peaks. I had planned once one of these Swiss train journeys but the nearest I got was the Bern to Interlaken then the Interlaken to Wengen/Eiger trains. But that is another story.
Cheers, Herb

Thank you so much Herb,

I am so pleased that you like the composition. It makes all the planning worthwhile.
Of course to get shots like this you must get off the train and do a little walking, but you would get lots of nice pics from the Bernina express shown here..

Best Wishes
Peter

Herb Riddle replied to Peter_Private_Box:

Indeed Peter. I took lots of the little trains going up and down from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen and Grindelwald but as time elapsed I noticed them changing to the now somewhat less interesting modern versions. We had once planned to do some special mountain train journeys to see lots of them including the Bernina express but it never happened.
ps I have now added special PiP for you in my 'Rouen Cathedral' shot. Herb
