This is 3 shorter routes that all merge at the same point So I'll go through them 1 by 1 The Bernese Oberland is in the Southern area of the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. It features high mountains, winding valleys. Beautiful lakes. And amazing culture. The first segment of the route will be the Bernese Oberland Railway. It Starts at Interlaken Ost Railway station. The Primary station in the Swiss City of Interlaken. It is a narrow-gauge rack railway that heads to Lauterbrunnen and Grindenwald. Leaving Interlaken the railway turns south running alogside Interlaken Airport. The first station on the line is Wilderswil. After Wilderswil the railway heads into the Lauternbrunnen Valley and several times will cross the Weisse Lütschine river. The next stop Zweilutschinen the railways split. One branch of the railway heads on to Lauterbrunnen. And terminates there. The other branch heads to Grindenwald. On this branch the next stop is Lutschental then Burglauenen, Schwendi, Grindenwald Grund, and finally Grindenwald hbf. In total this route is 23km long and will climb 500 meters in elevation between Interlaken and Grindenwald.

Leaving Lauterbrunnen the railway climbs the steep walls of the valley to Wengwald and Wengen, a beautiful village overlooking Lauterbrunnen before climbing further to Allmend and Kleine Scheidegg, the peak of the railway. Between Lauterbrunnen and Kleine Scheidegg the railway climbs around 1.3km in elevation. The railway then descends to Grindenwald via Alpiglen, Brandegg, and Grindenwald. This route is 19km long Rolling Stock: Bhe 4/8 Images: https://imgur.com/a/bEBCDM0 The Third Segment branches off at Kleine Scheidegg. The Jungfrau Railway. The highest railway in Europe reaching a peak altitude of 3454. Leaving Kleine the route begins to climb almost immediately, reaching Eigergletscher Railway station, at 2320m. Before entering entering a tunnel that brings the railway to the top. Stopping at Eismeer, a passing point which passengers can get off momentarily. Before reaching the Jungfraujoch station. This line is 9km long, and climbs nearly 1500m with a maximum incline of 25% Rolling Stock: Bhe 4/8 Images: https://imgur.com/a/30a0Ha7 In total the route would cover about 52km of track. And from lowest point to highest point would climb 2500m. Service patterns on all 3 segments are generally 2 trains per hour in either direction
I'd love to see a rack railway in TSW4-I recently put forward the Montreux-Glion-Rochers-de-Naye Railway in a suggestions post.
