Swiss Trip - Rhätischebahn - October 2007

Switzerland
The Rhätischebahn operates an extensive meter gauge
electified network in the canton of Graubunden in
south-eastern Switzerland. Its lines link the
regional capital Chur with the alpine resorts of
Klosters, Davos and St Moritz, passing through some
of the finest alpine scenery en-route. This was my
first visit to this splendid railway.

Czech Trip - Czech Miscellany - Sept/Oct 2007

Czech Republic
This report covers a two week photographic trip to
the Czech Republic in autumn 2007, visiting four
rather different diesel and electric lines across the
country. I started with the loco hauled weekend
trains on the scenic line from Praha to Cercany
before moving on to Olomouc where some old class 141
electrics are enjoying a new lease of life. Next on
the agenda was the Jaromer - Trutnov line with its
diesel hauled fast passengers. The trip ended with an
old favourite, the Karlovy Vary - Chomutov line, my
first visit there since electrification.
