The CFF/FFS 460 012-8 seen at Zürich Hauptbahnhof

Our long awaited, all-rail excursion to the mountains of Switzerland started off with arriving in Zürich with the Wiener Walzer. Instead of the typical InterRail we used the Swiss Travel Pass that was more flexible and cheaper. It offers discounts on some mountain railways that are not even included in the InterRail service area which was quite handy considering our travel plans. During our previous trips by train we visited the RhB network and in that case we got off at Sargans at around six o'clock, which was a lot more comfortable for me as an early bird and allowed for getting to our photo location quicker - as the night train arrived quite late in Zürich we planned a long travel on the railways we have previously photographed using a car for the first day.
