29 August 2010

The last day of my trip wasn't forecast to be brilliant but the weather turned out much better than expected. I spent most of the day on the Davos - Filisur line at several locations near Davos-Frauenkirch and at Wiesen Viaduct. On the way there and back I took a handful of shots on the Chur - St. Moritz line at Solis and Bonaduz.

On the Davos - Filisur line, everything had returned to normal after the temporary closure of the Fideris - Küblis section a few days earlier. 617, 624, 641, 645 and 650 were working the service. Nothing exceptional was seen on the Albula line either, until I dropped in at Bonaduz to get a last shot of 652 on the 15:58 Chur - St. Moritz before leaving for the airport. Shortly after 652 had gone, a new EMU passed hauling a late running Glacier Express 908, all 12 coaches of it! Is there anything they won’t use the new units on?
