Switzerland's Majestic Red Train on the Landwasser Viaduct - A Symbol of Connection and Achievement
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Switzerland's iconic Landwasser Viaduct, a remarkable feat of engineering that epitomizes the country's audacity and transportation prowess. Designed by Alexander Acatos and constructed between 1901 and 1902, this single-track six-arched curved limestone railway viaduct spans the picturesque Landwasser River in the Canton of Graubünden. Standing tall at an impressive height of 65 meters (213 feet) and stretching over 136 meters (446 feet), this signature structure is not only an essential part of the World Heritage-listed Albula Railway but also serves as a symbol of accessibility for both locals and tourists alike. Its ramp seamlessly connects to the Landwasser Tunnel, ensuring smooth transit through these breathtaking Alpine landscapes. Owned by Rhaetian Railway, Switzerland's largest private railway operator, this red train gracefully traverses the viaduct daily. The Rhaetian Railway network extends across stunning destinations such as St Moritz and Davos, offering unparalleled views along its routes. Notably, one line known as Bernina Railway reaches heights up to 2,253 meters above sea level at Bernina Pass before connecting with Italy's railway network in Lombardy. Recognized for its historical significance and outstanding beauty, UNESCO added the Albula-Bernina line to its prestigious list of World Heritage Sites in 2008. This distinction further solidifies Switzerland's commitment to preserving its rich transport heritage. Captured by Buena Vista Images from Fine Art Storehouse, this photograph immortalizes a moment on this extraordinary rail journey—a testament to human ingenuity harmoniously blending with nature amidst Switzerland's awe-inspiring alpine scenery.
