Furka Mountain Steam Locomotive

The stunning Furka mountain route was meant to be a relic of the past after the Furka base tunnel opened in the year 1982. But thanks to railway enthusiasts from Switzerland and abroad, this beautiful line has been preserved to allow a steam locomotives to run to this day.  The steam trains and their original restored passenger carriages run from June to September on the cograil sections from Oberwald via Gletsch to Realp in the canton of Uri.
