Switzerland · Europe · Cultural · 46.50°N, 9.70°E

The Rhaetian Railway, abbreviated RhB, is a Swiss transport company that operates the second-largest railway system in Switzerland after the Swiss Federal Railways. Headquartered in Chur, the RhB operates all the railway lines of the Swiss canton of Grisons, except for the line from Sargans to the cantonal capital, Chur, which is operated by Swiss Federal Railways, as well as the line from Disentis/Mustér to the Oberalp Pass and further on to Andermatt, Uri, which is operated by Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGB). Inaugurated in 1888 and expanded from 1896 onwards in various sections, the RhB network is located almost entirely within Grisons, with one station across the Italian border at Tirano. The system is majority-owned by the government of Grisons with the Swiss Federal Railways holding a large minority share.
