Swiss Railroad on Google Street View

Google is getting ready to post images of the Albula-Bernina line in Switzerland on Street View in Google Maps. This is one of the most famous scenic railroads in the world. Google put their trike with a camera system on a flatbed car in front of a train. They hope this will inspire people to visit and see the mountains and trees. The project will provide people with new perspectives of the route, and help document and preserve this UNESCO World Heritage site.
You can read more about it here.
