Probably how the Graubünden landscape looks right now, with gold-yellow trees. The reproduction standard of this postcard doesn't really do it justice.
The loco here is a Ge 4/4, i.e. Bo-Bo type, number 608, seen near Madulain. Because of modernisation in the late 1980s these are older than they may look, dating from 1947 and 1953. Only 2 seem to be still in service.
