LGB 22227 G train set Abe 8/12 "Allegra" of RhB

The Rhaetian Railway network (RhB) offers a total of 384 km of spectacular moments. While the Albula and Bernina motorways, both of which have been UNESCO World Heritage sites since 2008, are well known, the Arosaline line is more of a secret tip. It was built in 1914 by the company Chur-Arosa-Bahn and only merged with the RhB in 1942. Until then, the trains traveling to Arosa were on their way in the light blue/light gray paint. After the fusion they received the most common RhB color scheme green/beige before later converted into a bright red. They still wear this color dress today. The Bernina railway was also independent until 1943. The entire route St. Moritz – Tirano was completed in 1910. At that time, the vehicles were given a fake yellow design. Since 2009, the Allegra two-voltage trains have been on the RhB network, primarily on the Arosalline and the Bernina. Now that the Allegra Abe 8/14 3514 was due to undergo a revision, it was decided to paint the vehicle in its historical colors in memory of the once independent railways. The middle car received the historical RhB color scheme. Since December 2023, the train does not show itself in the familiar RhB red, but rather in a wonderfully colorful color. This is how the "ancestral train" emerged, as the RhB affectionately calls the 3514. It is not only an eye-catcher, but also a tribute to the once independent railways in the canton of Graubünden. The Allegra 3514 has a special coat: One end car is designed in the yellow of the then Bernina Railways, the other in the design of the Arosa Railways – light blue / light gray, the middle wagon represents the epoch III green / cream of the RhB. This "ancestor train" is on the way to the RhB network.
