Today's video was filmed while the border to Italy was closed. At this time, passenger services terminated in Campocologno. Our train however continues to Tirano without passengers in order to deliver the wood. We'll be entering Tirano on an uncommon track, due to the fact that nobody needs to get out.
A special thank you to Paolo for recording this trip. His channel: / dellacapaolo

The Bernina railway sets a few records, including being the highest railway alpine crossing in Europe (2253m), the highest adhesion railway of the continent, the open air railway with the greatest height difference (1824m) and furthermore one of the steepest adhesion railways (conventional railway without cogs) worldwide, with gradients of up to 7%.
The gradients are included in the upper right corner in the same format as they appear to the driver. The arrow indicates whether the gradient is up or down, the larger number is the promille value (1/10 of 1%) and the smaller number indicates the distance of the gradient in meters. You will also see station names with their altitude, tunnel and bridge names with their length and year of construction - as well as other interesting information along the way to improve your viewing experience.
A unique aspect of Switzerland's narrow gauge mountain railways is the mixing of passenger and freight wagons in a single train, with wagons often added or removed at intermediate stops with shunting locomotives. Three stake cars loaded with wood await us in Pontresina, from where we'll be taking them to Tirano.
