Remarks & Notes |
The Rhaetian Railway has in mind to set a world record for the longest passenger train in the world on October 29, 2022 in connection with 175 years of Swiss Railways. 25 coupled "Capricorn" trains with a total length of 1910 meters are to run from Preda via Bergün and Filisur to Alvaneu. Extensive testing has already been undertaken for this purpose. Now a publicity locomotive has also been designed, the Ge 4/4 III # 644 "Savognin" makes the world record attempt known throughout the canton. The locomotive pulls freight train 5151 from Landquart to Pontresina and leaves the 300 meter long Mistail tunnel and crosses the 32 meter long Mistail viaduct between Solis and Tiefencastel.
