The movie shows a cab ride with freight train #5135 from Landquart over the famous Albula Line of the Rhaetian Railways to Samedan. The train is pulled by GE 6/6'' #701 Raetia.

The Ge 6/6'' (Bo′Bo′Bo′) is a class of heavy electric locomotives with a total of 7 engines. The first engine, #701, was delivered in 1958 by the manufacturers Schweizerische Lokomotiv und Maschinenfabrik (SLM), Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC) and Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) at a price of 230,000 Swiss francs. The last engine, #707 was delivered in 1965. The engines are capable of pulling 280 tons on the 35% grade over Albula Pass. They operate with 11kV 16 2/3 Hz AC power. The Ge 6/6 II locomotives have a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), weigh 65 tonnes and develop 1,776 kilowatts (2,382 hp) at 46 kilometres per hour.

In part 1, we see the engine running light from Landquart to Landquart Ried, were the freight train is picked up. Additional cars are picked up at Untervaz between Landquart and Chur. Now, the train consists of 34 axles, weights 273 tons and has a speed limit of 60 km/h. Part 1 ends in ReichenauTamins, where the Albula Pass line and the line from Chur to Disentis seperate.

The movie was filmed in September 2015. Enjoy!
