[TAS hijack] was Re: Jungfrau Switzerland

[james_shugg@my-deja.com]

I was there in 1997, staying at Lauterbrunnen (whatever spelling).  You
could ride rack railways (gauge was in the 2'6" vicinity, maybe a
little more), funiculars and normal adhesion lines through the most
amazing summer chocolate box scenery:  cows, lederhosen, glaciers.
Totally in contrast to the dense wilderness landscape that the
Tasmanian Abt railway ran/will run again through.  Anyone know if the
Jungfrau system uses an Abt rack mechanism?
