Over sixty years after the last of their kind disappeared, the unmistakable sound of laboring steam locomotives echoed through the picturesque valleys of the Swiss Grisons in honor of a historic event: The Rhaetia Railroad's 100th birthday. The original 100 year old 1-C wet-steam locomotive "Rhätia" and its two 83 year old 1-D hot-steam sisters "107" and "108" had been edged out by the age of electricity and spent years in museums and storage.

Steam at its best in one of the most scenic mountain regions in all of Europe!
