Description


Jungfrau railway

The Jungfrau railway (German: Jungfraubahn, JB) is an 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 ⁄8 in) gauge rack railway which runs 9 kilometres from Kleine Scheidegg to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch. The railway runs almost entirely within a tunnel built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and contains two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside. The line is electrified at 3-phase 1,125 volts 50 Hertz, and is one of four lines using three-phase electric power.
