In order to celebrate 175 years of the railway in Switzerland today Rhaetian Railway will run the world's longest passenger train. The train will take 4,550 passengers on a journey along the UNESCO World Heritage Albula/Bernina route from Preda to Alvaneu. It is one of the most spectacularly beautiful railway routes in the world and passes over the stunning Landwasser Viaduct.
You can view a simulation of the world-record breaking attempt on the interactive map 1 Train - 100 Carriages. This interactive map animates a representation of the 1,910-metre-long train along the route from Preda to Alvaneu. The animated map includes a number of options which allow you to adjust the speed of the train, and quickly navigate to different points along the route.
If you want a first person view of the train's journey then you can also check out the route on Google Maps Street View.
