[2024·河南省五市高三第一次联考]High in the Swiss Alps, St Moritz made its name as a place for pushing the boundaries of winter sports. Recently, the region continued its long tradition of expanding the limits of what is possible with a world record attempt­not on snow or ice, but on rails. To mark the 175th anniversary of Switzerland's first railway, a railway company created the world's longest passenger train—100 cars, 2, 990 tonnes and almost two kilometers long.

Formed of 25 new electric trains, the record­breaking 1, 906­meter train took almost an hour to cover around 25 kilometers over the impressive UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line, which is famous for its endless swooping curves and steep inclines (斜坡). The mountain railways are regarded as great feats of engineering. The 62­kilometer line be­ tween Thusis and St Moritz, a world­renowned masterpiece of civil engineering, took just five years to build despite requiring 55 bridges and 39 tunnels.

Unlike most Swiss and European railways, which use the standard gauge (标准轨距) between the rails of 1.435 meters, the rails, known as Rhaetische Bahn rails, are just one meter apart. “In order to complete the train's journey successfully, everything has to be perfect. We need to be 100% synchronized (同步的), every second. Everyone has to keep their speed and other systems under control at all times” lead driver Andreas Kramer said. “We need to know the Albula Line very well, every change of gradient, and every incline.”

The mountainous Swiss landscape has encouraged creative transportation solutions for generations, resulting in one of the most train­reliant nations in the world. On average, Swiss citizens travel about 2, 450 kilometers by train annually­an estimated quarter of their total transportation system. In 2021, Swiss Federal Railways operated 11260 trains carrying 880000 passengers and 185000 tonnes of goods per day on a 3, 265 kilometer­long network with 804 stations. Therefore, the successful record attempt will be great for the local area and for the country as a whole.
