Shortly
after the construction of the Gotthard tunnel, Switzerland pulled off another
pioneering achievement: the construction of the Thusis - St. Moritz railway
line between 1899 and 1903. This opened the Upper Engadine to tourists. The
Rhaetian Railway still passes over the same bridges and through the same loop
tunnels. A still greater challenge was the subsequent construction of the
Bernina Railway. No other railway in the world overcomes such steep gradients
and winds through such steep curves without the help of a cogwheel.
