The main line train was quite scenic ... as long as it was above ground. Most of the time seemed to be spent in tunnels, some as long as 9 km. Our itinerary said that we'd do a 7-minute walk to another station in Brig, but all we had to do was walk out the front door of the station and there was our next train, the Glacier Express. It was another narrow gauge train, but not as narrow as the trains to high parts of the Jungfrau region. By the way, ALL trains we have seen so far on the continent have been electric, powered by wires suspended above the tracks. This was a total Giezerwagen, exclusively designed to give tourists a scenic ride through the mountains. When the tracks were reasonably level, the train tooled along at the customary 60 mph or so. When the tracks got steep, a set of cogs appeared between the rails that the engine would engage to climb without slipping. Occasionally pre-recorded announcements would come over the speakers in German, English and French, giving us little tidbits of information on the mountains we were passing through.
