    the road on the right is the Grimsel Pass and the road going up the
    middle is Furka Pass in Switzerland

    and yes, it was very interesting :)

    Wrong. It's Furkan good road. What you see in the photo is just a
    short stretch of each road. Don't be fooled by the fact that a railway
    line is following the road. They build railways in the most unlikely
    places over there.

  6. They do here in Victoria too,
    1885 times the railway crossed the roadway
    and that is only operational lines with signs
    there are also crossings without signs, such as the ones where a farmer has
    paddocks on both sides of the line and has made his own road across.

    And a couple of views from the opposite direction, near the top of the
    Furka Pass (just near the Belvedere Hotel) looking over at the Grimsel.
