Photo taken from the last carriage of the train (see inset for another take). I didn't manage to catch the whole bridge because another photographer kept sticking her head and arms out of the window:-(

Landwasserviaduct is a 65m high bridge on the Albula Railway and is crossed by about 60 trains per day. It's one of the many engineering feats on the Rhaetian Railway which gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008.

Brusio spiral viaduct

Brusio spiral viaduct is a famous feature of the World Heritage Rhaetian Railway . It was needed "to limit the railway's grade to the required maximum of 7%, so the train would not slip on the way up, or be uncontrollable on the way down. Geological factors prevented the boring of the spiral tunnel that had originally been planned. Engineers therefore decided to construct on the valley floor a 360 degree curve with a 50 to 70 m (160 to 230 ft) radius, and the viaduct forms part of that curve"(Wiki).
