Bernina Express Train, Europe, 2000

The Bernina Express crosses a stone bridge during its rapid yet stunning journey from the Alps of Switzerland to the meadows of Italy. This train’s roller-coaster route through scenic canyons and forests includes a freestanding loop, mountain switchbacks, and curving bridges.
