The world record attempt to run the world’s longest passenger train went off without a hitch on Saturday.
It was put together by the country’s largest private train company, the Rhaetian Bahn.
Four locomotives and 100 carriages made up the 1,910-meter-long set. It took around an hour to travel along the 25km UNESCO World Heritage Albula line in Graubünden.
It passed through 20 towns, across 196 bridges and through 55 tunnels.
Guinness World Records have confirmed it is the new record holder.
