Losing the horizontal
After a few minutes constantly ascending at a steep gradient you begin to lose your bearings and take photographs at strange angles struggling to find the horizontal line. The train travels very close to many sheer cliff edges and some passenger can't look out of the windows. The engine thumps continuously in pushing us up but it's been doing it for over 100 years so no reason it should give in now.
Katarina and I took 100s of photos of the mountains and shrinking ground below. At the top the view is certainly breathtaking and so is the cold wind.
