    The Bernina railway is a single-track 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 ⁄8 in) metre gauge railway line forming part of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). It links the spa resort of St. Moritz, in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, with the town of Tirano, in the Province of Sondrio, Italy, via the Bernina Pass. Reaching a height of 2,253 metres (7,392 ft) above sea level, it is the highest railway crossing in Europe and the third-highest railway in Switzerland. It also ranks as the highest adhesion railway of the continent, and – with inclines of up to 7% – as one of the steepest adhesion railways in the world. The height difference on the section between the Bernina Pass and Tirano is 1,824 m (5,984 ft), allowing passengers to see glaciers on the line. On 7 July 2008, the Bernina Railway and the Albula Railway, which also forms part of the RhB, were recorded in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, under the name Rhaetian Railway in the Albula / Bernina Landscapes. The whole site is a cross-border joint Swiss-Italian heritage area. Trains operating on the Bernina Railway include the Bernina Express.

    The Rhaetian Railway ABe 8/12, which is also known as the Allegra, is a class of dual voltage metre gauge three car multiple unit trains of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), which is the main railway network in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The class is so named under the Swiss locomotive and railcar classification system. According to that system, ABe 8/12 denotes an electric railcar train with first and second class compartments, and a total of 12 axles, eight of which are drive axles.

    these will run 74 services across the route including the bernina express

    the famous curve is iconic to this type of route and one of the steepest ( i think) in the game


    this is TSW2 Bernina Line

    This would be a really good route to see in TSW2 especially with the famous curve and great views and scenery. The ABe 8/12 RhB loco could also substitute into services on Arosa Line as well. Although they would need to create better scenery than the Arosa Line

    Yes. After Arosa Linie, this is the logical follow up. Infact, Rivet Games made it for TS. Hopefully, they will also undertake this.

    Yes, it will be very wonderful. I would see also the locomotive RhB ABe 4/4 III in double traction with the newest Panorama cars (it's named Bernina Express). RhB ABe 4-4 III - doppel Traktion.jpg Panoramawagen -Panorama Express.jpg IMG_1783.JPG
