Excellent note! All the stuff I never knew of... ;D
Lovely long line of a train with a clear and sharp sign on top. Well seen! I would have squeezed it a bit more to the left thought just to leave more space for the long train line :D
Thanks for sharing this excellent view!

Bonsoir Serge
Bien que ce ne soit pas une photo habituelle de ta part, je trouve que tu l'as bien réussi. J'aime beaucoup les teintes avec la couleur qui provient uniquement du panneau bleu. Belle réalisation et belle sensation de mouvement.
amicalement

Bonsoir Serge,
Et bien ca change de la photo de paysage ! mais c'est très bien fait, j'adore. Belle impression de vitesse et composition excellente. Seule petit chose pour moi, le coin supérieur gauche du "secteur D" coupé, dommage...
Bon week-end à toi
Amicalement, Christian

Hi Serge,
Interesting minimalistic shot. But it shows clear Swiss signs, roof details and train with a lot of motion blur.
I found some inaccuracies on the data you gave.
Highest station is Jungfraujoch at 3454m. Airolo is the highest station of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).
Brünig line used to be the steepest section on the SBB network, but is nowadays no more part of SBB but Zentralbahn. There are also lots of steeper mountain lines in Switzerland.
Simplon tunnel is currently longest tunnel in normal use. But test runs are going on in the 34.6km long Lötschberg base tunnel. Opening ceremony will be 16th June 2006.

Bonjour Serge,
Bel essai! Pas facile d'ailleurs
Bravo pour la lumière et les couleurs. Très bon cadrage aussi.
Mais j'aurais aimé reconnaître un peu plus du train. Sans ton commentaire je ne suis pas sure que j'aurais deviné.
Il faudrait voir ce que ça donne avec un temps plus court.
