A view of our coach on the Bernina Line
Title:  A view of our coach on the Bernina Line
Description:  We were in standard second class coach that by virtue of being at the end of the train was nearly empty. Note the opened windows. Everyone in the car had a great time running from side to side grabbing pictures of all the amazing sights. Definitely a bucket list item for any railfan.
