Wiesen Viaduct with Ge 6/6 II passenger train
Unknown Ge 6/6 II passing the Wiesen Viaduct towards Davos in the evening hours of Saturday 21 June 2003. This bridge spans the Landwasser River southwest of the hamlet of Wiesen. Designed by the then chief engineer of the Rhaetian Railway, Henning Friedrich, it was built between 1906 and 1909 under the supervision of another engineer, Hans Studer. The Rhaetian Railway still owns and uses it today. An important element of the Davos–Filisur railway, the viaduct is 88 metres (289 ft) high, 204 metres (669 ft) long, and has a main span of 55 metres (180 ft).
