    That's quite an achievement.

    I believe they did the trip downhill. Had they done it uphill the amount of electricity required from the catenary would have instantly overloaded it!

    You could run a similar working over the Albula Line using the ABe 8/12 Allegra units that come with the Bernina Line

    Not sure what this has to do with TSC, but good for them for it.

    Always one show-stopper. People here including DTG are also interested in real-world railways not just TSC.

    More impressive and moving than the train itself was the sheer delight of the hordes of passengers and spectators covering the mountainsides and valley.
