Rhaetian Railway #3505, Chur Station, Picture 2, Chur, Plessur District, Switzerland, 2011

Rhaetian Railway #3505, Chur Station, Picture 2, Chur, Plessur District, Switzerland, 2011
This is Rhaetian Railway #3505, one of the newer trains on the Bernina Express (and the Bernina Line generally), a Class ABe 8/12 Allegra EMU, built by Stadler Rail sometime between 2009 and 2011. These units were among those which replaced the ABe 4/4 II Class EMU's that had been in service when I rode the line in 1998. The Class ABe 4/4 III EMU's remain in service, being newer. There are also a few locomotive-hauled trains, using Gem 4/4 dual power locomotives (electric or diesel). This photo gives a hint, but doesn't show clearly that the Bernina Line leaves Chur via the streets, much like a tramway.
