Ride the rails of Swiss railway history with this extraordinary three-car set of the Rhaetian Railway ABe 8/12 Allegra in heritage revival livery. Each car wears a distinct color scheme representing the three predecessor companies—Chur-Arosa, Rhaetian, and Bernina Railways—that merged to form today's RhB. This "Ahnenzug" (ancestor train) celebrates the railway's centenary and World Heritage registration with cutting-edge equipment wrapped in retro charm.
