Brienz-Rothorn Bahn Switzerland

Something a bit different, photos taken by Alan Costello
The Brienz–Rothorn railway (German: Brienz Rothorn Bahn, BRB) is a tourist rack railway in Switzerland, which climbs from Brienz, at the eastern end of Lake Brienz, to the summit of the Brienzer Rothorn mountain. The railway is 7.6 kilometres (4.7 mi) long, is built to 800 mm gauge (2 ft 7 1⁄2 in gauge), and uses the Abt double lamella rack system. Unusually for Switzerland, the line is not electrified, and most trains are operated by steam locomotives.
The Brienz–Rothorn railway reaches a height of 2,244 metres above sea level and is the fourth highest railway in Switzerland

While on holiday in Switzerland in 2004 we travelled up this line. It was spectacular. I have managed to find a few pictures but it seems that I can only upload a single file to the forum, so I have provided a link to these pictures and a drivers eye view of the line on video:

I love this model railway line …...... The video was posted on French forum that I belong to .....
