Tirano - St. Moritz in the driver's cab of the ABe 4/4 49 Tg-Trains production 2010 DVD duration 120 minutes, 16:9 format. In the driver's cab of the ABe 4/4 49 we travel up the metre-gauge Bernina line, from Tirano to St. Moritz. The line, built between 1907 and 1910, with daring works of railway engineering reaches an altitude of 2,253 metres, and is therefore the highest natural adhesion railway in the Alps. Furthermore, thanks to its maximum gradient of 70 per 1000, it is one of the steepest railway lines in the world. The Bernina railway, together with the adjacent Albula line, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 7 July 2008, as a technically advanced example of high-mountain landscape management and as one of the most spectacular narrow-gauge railways in the world.
