World's steepest rack railway successfully opened

Stadler congratulates Pilatus Bahnen AG ((Link)) on the successful start of operation of the new Stadler rack-and-pinion multiple units. With an average gradient of 35 percent, the Pilatus Railway is the steepest rack railway in the world - on the steepest section, the gradient is even 48 percent. Eight modern railcars in double traction replace the old vehicles from the last century. From now on, they will take passengers up Mount Pilatus on the original track, which is over 130 years old. The panorama windows offer a breathtaking view of the impressive natural landscape.
