The train only runs more than 30 kilometers per hour, so why do passengers complain that it goes too fast?

There are many means of transportation nowadays, including trains, planes, and cars, but all of these means of transportation want to go faster. Now we usually have EMUs and high-speed rails when we go out, and the distance of thousands of kilometers can be two or three times. It only took an hour to complete the walk, which can be said to be very convenient. But there is such a train in the world. It only travels more than 30 kilometers per hour, which is about the same as us riding an electric bicycle.

However, even with such a slow train, the passengers thought it was going too fast and asked the driver to drive slower. What's going on?

This special train is the Glacier Train Line in Switzerland.

Switzerland is a highly developed European country with a small land area. However, the climate in southern Switzerland and northern Switzerland are completely different. Due to the obstruction of the Alps, southern Switzerland has a Mediterranean climate, while the northern part has a plateau mountain climate. In order to connect the north and the south, Switzerland built a north-south railway as early as 1930. The total length of the railway is 290 kilometers. It is still in operation today. It is the famous "Glacier Train Line".

With the emergence of new means of transportation, the Glacier Train Line has gradually withdrawn from its status as a transportation artery. However, due to the beautiful scenery along the way, this railway has gradually become a specialized tourist route. Switzerland This railway is protected separately in the traffic plan, preventing subsequent railway lines from crossing it. This 290-kilometer-long railway passes through 291 bridges and 91 tunnels. The most beautiful scenery in Switzerland is everywhere it passes.

When traveling to Switzerland, taking this railway is essential. But if you want to take such a train once, the first-class ticket alone costs 160 Swiss francs, equivalent to RMB 1,050. If you want to provide lunch, you have to pay an additional 45 Swiss francs, which is about 300 yuan. In a high-consumption country like Switzerland, such costs are actually quite cheap.

On the train, you can enjoy the view of the towering snow-capped mountains on both sides of the road and the sapphire-like lakes. The whole journey took nearly 8 hours, and almost no passengers slept on the train because it was so beautiful.
