Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon. The story of one of the North-South rail links through the Swiss Alps from Bern to Italy. The construction of the railway line through narrow valleys and high mountains, sometimes through kilometers of tunnels such as the Lötschberg and Simplon tunnels.
The Semmering Bahn. This railway was built 150 years ago and runs from Vienna to Bruck aan de Mur. There are beautiful images of large viaducts and tunnels and the snowy Austrian country. Interesting is the background information about the inventors and builders of the railway line.
One of the longest narrow-gauge lines in Europe, drawn by steam locomotives, is the Harz Schmalspurbahn. Written almost to death in the GDR time and replaced by buses, the railway line could be saved and driven by steam locomotives on a daily basis.
We start in the harbor of the city of Trondheim and head inland to Dombas on one of the oldest railway lines in the country. Then she continues the journey to the coast of Andalsnes and climbs high plateaus and descends to the fjords on the coast.
The Arlberg lift. This was once the longest railway tunnel in the world, the line from Innsbruck to Bregenz near the German border. The story is told about the construction of the track over viaducts and through tunnels. During this breathtaking journey we see many vistas and spectacular images.
