I trained as a railway engineer before I started guiding, so the line running from Interlaken up into the Alps is the subject I know best on camera. I like explaining the rack-and-pinion mechanism the way I once explained it to apprentices, piece by piece rather than all at once. At the station itself I trace how an entire town grew up around the business of moving travellers toward the mountains. I keep my pace steady and my explanations precise, since railway engineering rewards detail over drama. I take questions about specific routes as they come up during the call.
