Collected recordings of the Albula freight trains of the Rhaetian Railway RhB with THE classic locomotive Ge 6/6 II (built in 1958) before its decommissioning in autumn 2021, chronologically along the route from Landquart (depot) - Untervatz - Chur - Reichenau - Thusis - Tiefencastel - Filisur - Bergün - Preda - Samedan. Numerous Albula freight trains run beyond Samedan to Pontresina to hand over freight to the Bernina Railway. The recordings were made between 2018 and 2021 and therefore unfortunately probably represent my end of Ge 6/6 II films of these wonderful, reliable, strong and somewhat grim-looking locomotives in scheduled service. They have made a significant contribution to my affinity for railways since I first encountered them in the mid-80s. I am looking forward to an operational green or red locomotive No. 707 as a historic locomotive and very much hope that a second monument locomotive will be preserved in the Verkehrshaus Luzern or possibly in the Albula Museum Bergün. 00:00-00:59 Exit Depot Landquart, empty run towards Untervatz and Chur freight station 01:00-02:09 Passages through Igis and Zizers 02:10-03:19 Untervatz marshalling yard 03:20-04:46 between Chur West and Felsberg 04:47-05:17 Domat Ems / Ems Werke 05:18-06:07 Reichenau Tamins 06:08-06:35 Bonaduz 06:36-07:14 Rhäzüns 07:15-09:05 Thusis 09:06-10:17 Solis Viaduct 10:18-12:37 Tiefencastel 12:38-15:14 Surava and Alvaneu 15:15-16:42 Landwasser Viaduct Filisur 16:43-22:12 around Filisur 22:13-26:18 around Bergün 26:19-32:23 Albula carousel to Preda 32:24-33:34 Val Bever 33:35-35:19 Bever 35:20-38:29 Between Bever and Samedan 38:30-42:05 Samedan 42:06-45:09 Between Samedan, Punt Muragl and Pontresina 45:10-47:06 Final stop and turning point Pontresina (handover of the freight wagons to the Bernina Railway)
