Reason: Quality lead image. Bernina Express is a four-hour train journey (and tourist attraction) in the Alps connecting Chur in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. The tracks were laid around 1910 and are the fifth highest in Europe at 2253 meters. The trip crosses 196 bridges and 55 tunnels. The route is designated a World Heritage Site. In this photo the train is headed southbound passing by Lago Bianco reservoir. Depicted are two Rhaetian Railway ABe 4/4 III locomotives (each with a 28 passenger capacity), six passenger cars, and overhead electric lines. Bernina Pass is to the right and behind the foreground hill. FP on Commons.

Oppose personally I like the colors of the second image better; it is the lead image in Bernina railway. (t · c) buidhe 05:18, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I made the second image an Alternate. It is an older photo from 2010. The two photos share the same locomotive #51 so I think red is the more recent color scheme. The original has more pixels and more detail when enlarged to the same magnification. Bammesk (talk) 06:18, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I also lean to the alt, but unfortunately it's not current. If neither promoted here, do nominate at Portal:Trains! --Janke | Talk 10:45, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, prefer original - either gives a good impression of the line, but I think the original has more natural colours, better resolution and is a more recent shot. TSP (talk) 12:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
