Rail journeys through the Alps

Berthold Steinhilber’s large-scale photographs frame Alpine railways as both transport routes and works of engineering, set amid mountain landscapes. The book covers more than 60 railways across France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia, pairing route descriptions with historical context and details about the experience of travelling along them. Images include trains, tracks, stations, bridges, and surrounding nature. A reference chart gathers practical specifications for each route, including length, elevation points, gauge, drive transmission, and opening year, giving the volume a useful cataloguing dimension alongside its visual survey.
