EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the Luzern-Stans-Engelberg-Bahn (LSE) for an unforgettable journey through the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland. This circa 1910s photograph captures the narrow gauge rack railway as it winds its way up the mountainside, offering breathtaking views of the Urner Alps and the majestic Titlis Mountain. The LSE connects the city of Lucerne with the quaint village of Stans and the popular resort near Engelberg, providing a unique and dramatic mode of transportation for travelers seeking to explore the Swiss Alps. The steep inclines of the mountain terrain necessitated the use of a rack railway system, which engages with the track to provide the necessary traction for the train to climb the steep slopes. The train's progress up the mountain is punctuated by the occasional whistle and puff of steam, adding to the romantic allure of this historic mode of transport. As the train ascends, the scenery shifts from lush green valleys to rugged alpine peaks, with the snow-capped Titlis Mountain looming in the distance. The air grows thinner and cooler, and the scent of pine and mountain flowers fills the air. The journey on the LSE is not just a means of transportation, but an experience that takes travelers on a thrilling adventure through the heart of the Swiss Alps.
