Viewing Album:  2023 Europe Trip to Germany, Italy and Switzerland
 
By:Jay Epstein
Dates:9/30/2023 - 10/7/2023
Album Info:Train photos of my 2023 trip to Germany, Italy and Switzerland. This was not a train watching trip but many trains were seen and ridden. The highlight was probably hanging out the window taking pictures along the narrow gauge Rhätische Bahn network in Switzerland over the Bernina and Albula lines.
