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.
