Wiesen Viaduct, Davos-Filisur Bahn, Switzerland


An undated postcard but probably from the 1900s of a steam train on the 100 metre high Wiesen Viaduct on the Davos-Filsur line, now part of the famous metre gauge Rhätische Bahn system in Switzerland.

The 19 km line connects Davos Platz to the Albula Railway at Filisur and passes through wild gorges and 14 tunnels with a total length of 4.2 km, and crosses 28 bridges. It was electrified in 1919.
