The view from up there is just awesome! That's on my to-do list as well, although I do hope for some fresh snow...

Another wonderful shot of the RHB. Did you have to go mountain climbing to get this shot? I have not seen any postings of photos fo the SBB crash that occured this week . Also, there were never any photos of the Glacier Express when it fell off of the tracks in 2010 near Fiesch. I know that the Swiss are very proud of their rail system, as well they should be. Are there unwriten rules that discourage unfavorable Swiss rail information? Anyway, I love Switzerland and its wonderful rail system and will continue to do my annual visit and go rail cruising. Thanks for all of the wonderful
photos.

Do you know ”Filmic” from Above&Beyond? Fits perfectly with this photo... Awesome shot, Georg!!!

Definitely the most spectacular view I have seen lately!

Great picture Georg!
It is also good to read that you are spelling the railroad correctly "RhB" and not "RHB", which would stand for "Rorshach-Heiden Bergabahn". ;-)

Sorry for the typos!It should read:

@ Lou: RHB is the Rorschach Heiden Bergbahn, but RhB is the Rhätische Bahn or Rhaetian Railway ;-). It was modest hiking from Ospizio on snow shoes.
I don't like to post railway crash pictures, but there are not unwritten rules about it in Switzerland. But I think this is stuff for the news portals.
@ mishu88: I didn't knew "Filmic". Yes, it fits perfect!

RhB, RhB, RhB. Got it! Thanks everyone for the heads-up. I will pay more attention to detail. Every year, for the past several decades, I ride this magnificent railway using a Swisspass. I also have dozens of models of this railway. I just need to pay attention to detail. Thanks again Georg for all of the great photos. Keep them coming.
