Photographer's Note
Chur - Arosa line of Rhätische Bahn was opened in 1914 and was an independent company before merger with RhB in 1942. However the railway line was practically disconnected from the rest of RhB network until 1997, when the original 2400 V DC electrification was converted to 11 kV AC system that is used on most of the Rhätische Bahn network.
Arosa railway line passes through magnificient mountain landscapes rising over 1000 m on it's 25 km journey from Chur to resort town of Arosa. The line has 21 tunnels and 41 bridges, the most remarkable being Langwies viaduct.
Most of train wagons are not usual bright red of RhB but blue ones advertising Arosa.

Hallo Kari!
Here you show us a beautiful scenery and an interesting contribution. The in several parts diagonal buildup of the picture works very well. The "toy-train" is a wonderful addition to this great landscape. I would like to step into your photo! ;-)
Greetings from springlike Germany!

Hello Kari
A cute train that looks like a toy on an idyllic bucolic scenery. It's hard to imagine something more pretty.

Very cute, looks almost a diorama macro. A bit of haze on the background lowers it's contrast, but saturation is fine overall.
