Description
From Alpnachstad to the summit of Mount Pilatus in Switzerlnd, the world's steepest cogwheel railway climbs up through lush meadows and alpine forests, past mountain streams and fascinating rock faces. The line still uses original rack rails that are now over 100 years old. While they have worn down, it was discovered that this can be fixed by simply turning the rails over, providing a new wearing surface that would be sufficient for the next century.
