View from train Lauterbrunnen - Kleine Scheidegg at Wengen. Both tracks lead down to Lauterbrunnen. Trains take usually the right one with some sidings on the way down to Lauterbrunnen. The left one is the "old stretch" with no sidings and used irregularly. 14.10.2007 Martin P. |

Between Wengernalp and Kleine Scheidegg, the line of the Wengernalpbahn is
crossed by a ski run and a chairlift. Picture taken on 20 March 2002.

The level crossing of the Wengernalpbahn at the track leaving the station Grund
towards Kleine Scheidegg seen on 21 March 2002. In this case the rack in the
crossing is of the Riggenbach type. It is a bit higher than the rails, for the
car drivers it's a good idea to pass this crossing very slowly.

21 March 2002. In this case the rack in the crossing is of the Strub type. It
is a bit higher than the rails, for the car drivers it's a good idea to pass
this crossing very slowly.

An incline indicator of the Wengernalpbahn between the siding Rohr and the
station Brandegg on the line from Grindelwald to Kleine Scheidegg, seen from a
BDhe 4/8 EMU going up on 18 March 2002. It indicates an incline of 250 permille
(25 percent) on the next 270 meters, this is one of the steepest parts of the
line.

The siding of the Wengernalpbahn between Lauterbrunnen and Wengen seen on 20
March 2002. The picture was taken from the train visible on the left, which
waited for a crossing train on the way down. The siding is located in a very
steep terrain, note the protection against falling rocks. In the background the
exit signal is visible, behind it the line enters a tunnel.

A sign at the line of the Wengernalpbahn, seen near the station Grund on 21
March 2002. It tells what you are not allowed to do at the railway line. This
is an older version which is only in german.

A rack switch of the Wengernalpbahn at Kleine Scheidegg seen on 20 March 2002.
Very uncommon is that the rail is not moved out of position at the point where
it is crossed by the rack. Two parts of the rack move next to it, forming a
steady line of teeth above the rail.

steady line of teeth about the fixed rail.
