The video depicts a journey with the steam powered Furka Mountain Railroad in Switzerland over Furka pass. The train of three passenger cars is pulled by an HG 3/4 (#1 Furkahorn) cog wheel steam engine which was once running in Vietnam.

The Furka Mountain Railway is a largely volunteer operated heritage railway which operates a partially rack and pinionline across the Furka Pass, between Realp in Uri and Oberwald in Valais. Culminating at 2,160 metres, it is a mountainous section of the FurkaOberalpBahn that was abandoned. It has been gradually brought back into service and the entire line was completed in 2010. Maximum grade of the line is 11.7%.

Part 1 of the video shows the journey from Realp over Furka pass to Gletsch and finally Oberwald. Enjoy this exiting ride undertaken in August 2015 on a very sunny day.
