Train Ride in Switzerland

Not that I am a train buff, but riding the steam train of the Furka Oberalp railway was definitely one of the highlights of this year. The cogwheel railway was reopened in 2010 to the public during the summer, after a maintenance crew re-installs a bridge every spring (otherwise it would be swept away by avalanches).

The vintage engine gets a well-deserved rest at the entrance of the summit tunnel.
