Remarks & Notes 
On the Bernina line of the RhB, there isn't a regular hourly timetable, but a limping cadence, as we say in Switzerland. Some trains have a accelerated timetable, the others a strechted one, to run a bit slower to carry along freight cars. So every two hours only, there is a crossing of two trains at Brusio. In the other hour, the train crossing is in Tirano/ Poschiavo. Train 4648 in the foreground is crossing the Brusio spiral viaduct on the journey to Tirano, while train 4621 to St.Moritz in the background left Brusio shortly (the station building is just behind the left church tower) and is running through the loopes above the village. Both churches of Brusio date from the 17th century, left is the evangelic and on the right the catholic.
