We don't usually take many pictures from the train because of the movement of the train itself and the reflections in the glass. However, the train can provide some interesting views.
So let't get on a train - this is the Golden panorama leaving Gstaad - and see what we can see through the window.

The Arosa branch of the Rhaetian Railway provides good views of this concrete viaduct we will soon be riding over

A goat viewed on the Arosa branch. These are a rare breed which have the legs on one side shorter than the legs on the other side to make traversing mountains easier. There are two breeds - left and right. Great care has to be taken when breeding because if you breed a left with a right you will finish up with an animal with the legs arranged diagonally
