Rigi Stream Train Nr. 17 and Vitznau Rail Traffic[4K]

The Vitznau-Rigi Railway, also known as the Rigi-Bahn, is a historic cogwheel railway located in Switzerland that travels from the town of Vitznau to the summit of Mount Rigi. The railway opened in 1871 and was the first mountain railway in Europe to use a cogwheel system, allowing it to climb steep inclines. The railway features several vintage steam trains, including the popular locomotive number 7, which has been in service since 1873 and is one of the oldest operating steam engines in Switzerland. The steam train ride on the Vitznau-Rigi Railway is a popular tourist attraction, providing visitors with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lakes as they chug along the tracks. The railway is open year-round, and during the winter months, visitors can enjoy a magical snow-covered landscape while riding on the steam train. #rigibahn #railway #switzerland
