In September 1971 the Swiss Rhaetian Railway ran a special return excursion from Chur over the world famous Albula line, double-headed by their two veteran Class G4/5 steam locomotives 107 and 108. This photograph was taken from the train as it crossed the Landwasser viaduct on the outward journey. The locomotives, long retired from regular service, still have occasional outings on specials, although such trips are nowadays usually single-headed and over relatively short stretches of the Rhaetian system.
