Seen from the #Lötschberg🇨🇭#Kandersteg to #Goppenstein car-carrying train earlier this week: a #BLS Class RABe 528 #MIKA unit for #Brig passes our train as we await departure.

Among #Switzerland’s many
scenic railways: the #Lötschberg south ramp. Travellers can even enjoy the views down to the #Rhone valley from their own vehicle, when using an #Iselle 🇮🇹 (#Simplon) to #Kandersteg🇨🇭(#Lötschberg) car-carrying through train. Photo taken today at sunrise.

Impressions from our ride on the #Iselle 🇮🇹 to #Kandersteg🇨🇭car-carrying train yesterday: passing two major alpine railway tunnels, #Simplon (almost 20 kms long) and #Lötschberg (15 kms), the trip lasts about an hour: time for breakfast, or a nap, while staying in one’s own car.

On the #Lötschberg🇨🇭 tunnel car-carrying train from #Goppenstein to #Kandersteg. (There’s no road tunnel up here.) In front of us: a sheep trailer marked “Tiertransport” - and you can hear their baa and meh. They’re going home after having spent the summer in the #Valais Alps. 🐏🐑😊

Première expérience aujourd'hui avec une navette ferroviaire pour voitures (auto-trains) circulant entre Kandersteg et Goppenstein à travers le tunnel du Lötschberg (14,612 m). 🇨🇭
