Remarks & Notes |
Regional train of the Rhaetian Railway from Davos Platz to Filisur is crossing the highest viaduct of the RhB network, the 89 meter high and 210 meter long Wiesen viaduct. This impressive viaduct with a parabolic bow of 55 meter main span, crossing the Landwasser river, was built between 1906 and 1908 mainly with concrete blocks and faced with granite and gneiss stones. The push-pull train with locomotive Ge 4/4 III # 645 "Tujetsch" in publicity paint scheme for Radio and Television of Grisons (Radio e Televisiun Rumantscha) with the slogan "al puls dal Grischun" has one first class and two second class standard cars type I and a cab car BDt in the rear. The trains on this line are usually running through from and to Landquart with another number and a lengthy stop in Davos Platz. Between Landquart and Davos there are aditional cars added. You may see some people on the viaduct. A footbridge leads over the viaduct for the hiking trail to Filisur. |
