These last two were taken on the narrow gauge rack line that links Goschenen on the SBB to the Matterhorn line at Andermatt

In the second photo, is that graffiti I see on that storage shed in the center of the picture?

Graffiti in Switzerland?

What is this world coming to?!

I hope you have some pictures of the Swiss Rack Drive Beilhack
rotary plows and the diesel units with the trailing B pantograph
electric power units on the 7 percent grade in your pictures-waiting
here with much anticipation.
