EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Zermatt Mountain Railway, a historic and iconic mode of transportation in Switzerland. The railway, which operates on the rack and pinion system developed by Roman Abt, has been an integral part of Swiss transport history since it opened in 1891.
The image showcases the breathtaking mountainous landscape surrounding the railway as it winds its way from Brig to Visp and finally to Zermatt. The intricate network of tracks and gears is a testament to the engineering marvel that is the rack and pinion system.
The rich history of this railway is evident in every detail captured in this photograph - from the vintage rail cars to the rugged terrain they traverse. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when train travel was not just about getting from point A to point B, but also about experiencing the beauty of nature along the way.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this snapshot of Swiss rail history for all to enjoy. It's a timeless piece that transports viewers back to a time when steam trains ruled the tracks and adventure awaited around every bend.
