Looking back to Andermatt station and depot from an eastbound Glacier Express service that only left there a few minutes previously but has climbed rapidly to this point on the rack assisted gradient. There are a total of 31km of rack sections between Zermatt and Disentis where MGB haulage gives way to locomotives of the Rhaetian Railway, which is purely adhesion worked.
