Remarks & Notes 
Extremly colorful train of the Rhaetian Railway on the line from Chur to Arosa, between Peist and Langwies. The new designed ancestor train (heritage livery "Ahnenzug") "Allegra" ABe 8/12 # 3514 is the very first day in service on this line, which was taken over by the Rhaetian Railway in 1942. First car is in the yellow colors of the former independent Bernina Railway, which was taken over by the RhB in 1943. Second car has the green/cream colors of the RhB at that time. And third car is in the lightblue/lightgrey of the former Chur-Arosa Bahn (ChA), which was inaugurated in 1914 with 2400 V DC and taken over by the RhB in 1942 (electrified with 11000 V 16,7 Hz AC since 1997). Further in the consist are a mixed first/second class car AB type II, a second class standard car type B I in the special "Bärenland" paint scheme and a BDt NEVA RETICA cab car in the rear. This is the push-pull train 1429 of the line R16 from Chur to Arosa.
