Title
View from Swiss train window, isolated village
Description
Note the steep grade down which this train is traveling. The Swiss railway system is totally electrified, which provides plenty of power for ascents, and dynamic braking for descents. ['Dynamic braking' means that the engine itself works to slow the train, not just the brakes on the individual cars.]
