Pociągi - Szwajcaria: książki - historia i typy (1/2)

Mit den Augen des Lokführers - Unterwegs auf schmaler Spur in der Schweiz

Koleje Retyjskie i Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn tworzą największą w Szwajcarii sięć torów wąskotorowych o długości 528 km, po której kursują legendarne pociągi, takie jak Glacier Express.

Ten album fotograficzny przedstawia sięć z dwóch perspektyw: z zewnątrz i z kabiny maszynisty. Hans-Bernhard Schönborn przejechał wszystkie trasy z kabiny i je sfotografował - marzenie każdego miłośnika kolei.
Książka zawiera również liczne informacje o trasach i zawodzie maszynisty.

Alpenbahnen

Travelling through the Alps by train - something that is taken for granted today - once required pioneering work in railway construction. Every single Alpine railway - from the Semmering Railway in the east to the Tenda Railway in the west - is considered a technical masterpiece.

This illustrated book shows trains in the wild nature of the Alps between rugged high mountains, glittering Swiss glaciers and the French Maritime Alps. On spectacular routes, dizzyingly high bridges and viaducts, technology and history meet the majestic mountain world - a unique combination!

Türen schließen! - Die schönsten Bergbahnen der Alpen

A train ride to the summit is one of the most impressive railway journeys that passengers can take. Karl-W. Koch reports on the fascination of the mountain railways in the Alps, all of which he personally visited with his camera.
Not only did he manage to take impressive pictures of the demanding railway operations in the mountains, but he also gained access to the workshops and depots that are otherwise closed to visitors. He gives a vivid account of the routes, their planning, construction and history. He also does not leave out the sophisticated cogwheel technology. A book that invites you to travel into the mountains.

La Suisse et ses chemins de fer

Switzerland, a country in the heart of the Alps. Switzerland, a small country geographically, a large country in the field of economy, and a giant in the railway world.
Everywhere, on the plateaus, in the valleys and in the mountains, engineers have imagined and workers have built railway lines with often audacious routes, and which sometimes reach unsuspected altitudes. This book, richly illustrated with photos from yesterday and today, is like a tribute to the best in Europe in terms of rail transport.

Treni di montagna - Le più belle ferrovie delle Alpi

Since the inception of European railway transportation, the towering mountains have posed a challenge - technological, conceptual, even aesthetic - for nations bordering the Alpine range. Overcoming environmental obstacles like steep slopes, inaccessible terrain, and extreme weather, railways in the Alps stand as remarkable testaments to European railway ingenuity.

Bold viaducts, helical tunnels, cogwheel systems, narrow-gauge railways, and locomotives designed for steep gradients showcase a unique array of technical solutions, still enabling travelers to reach some of the most breathtaking mountain vistas by train.

This volume explores the Alpine railways, delving into the historical events and technical features of each railway, from engineering marvels to rolling stock. From the Mont Blanc glaciers to the Jungfraujoch, from the Roya Valley to Lake Geneva, and spanning Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy, France, and Switzerland.

For each route, detailed maps, a rich and unique photographic collection, historical and technical insights, a discovery itinerary, and practical information are provided to assist in organizing journeys on Europe's most significant mountain trains.
