a trip to St.Moritz on Switzerland's Rhätische Bahn

These pictures are from a trip to St.Moritz starting in Scuol, and from a photo session at the Ardez station. In November 2009, the line between Scuol and Ardez was still served by bus as major maintenance was still being done on several tunnels and viaducts, and the station at Scuol was completely redone. Gorgeous late fall weather has contributed to a great train experience. The Rhätische Bahn is all-electric on meter-/narrow-gauge and more information can be found on www.rhb.ch
