I decided to toot something about railways every sunday, simply out of interest for this mean of transport, and the technology, culture and politics behind it. It might be a short fact, some news, or just a picture.

The first piece is a photo taken by myself of the Gornergrat Bahn halted at the Gornergrat station with the famous Matterhorn in the background. According to Wikipedia, it is the second highest railway in Europe at an altitude of 3,089m (after the Jungfrau, which is also in Switzerland) and opened more than 100 years ago (1898 to be precise).
