Random Swiss railway stuff

From my recent trip to the land of the Toblerone.......
First off the www.brienz-rothorn-bahn.ch/en/welcome.html - which
I did not have time to travel on.

Then the
www.jungfrau.ch/en/tourism/places-to-visit/harder-kulm/tickets-journey/
at Interlaken. An interesting funicular railway which is mostly
single track, but with a passing place half way up.

We called into Interlaken Ost station for a look at the trains -
plenty of stuff comes through, including lots of the German ICE
trains. One evening in Aldort I also saw a rake of Venice Simpon
Orient Express coaches - but missed the loco that was pulling
them!
Having a gander at this, and a bloke starts chatting to me in
German. I do not speak German that well, but he said climb into
the cab if you like, I queeried this, but he told me he was the
driver and it was his train!
