A 1971 shot of a special steam-hauled excursion that ran over the full length of the Rhaetian Railway's Albula line. The photograph was taken during a stop at Thusis, where veteran G4/5 2-8-0 number 108 was about to be coupled up as pilot for sister locomotive 107, which had brought the train from Chur. The engines dated from 1906 and had been kept in working order by the RhB for occasional use on steam specials.
