Wow, one of the most beautiful routes in the world, I can confirm that but should we buy this one, while there is an excellent freeware add-on?
This version is good, no doubt. The pros:
- Narrow gauge
- Authentic Swiss signaling
- Glacier express coaches
- Well crafted
The cons:
- Only one engine and very few freight wagons
- The most beautiful part of the route, Tirano to Samedan is not included.
All togeter a must have, but I suggest you buy the enhancemet pack as well.

I have to say this route is worth the purchase just for the passenger mode scenerio alone. I live in the States, the midwest. I have no train access for my daily route. We do have city transit busses, but the train has it's own mystique. I'm sure there are pitfalls to having to ride the train everyday to work. But for someone who's never had the pleasure, it would be nice to sit back and relax and leave the driving to professionals... haha.
Anyway, Train Simulator is about simulating real life operations. I do of course enjoy driving but the passenger mode was a very nice addition to this route. People sit and ride trains everyday in real life. So it's a nice function of the game. I've actually started the route, sat back in my chair and just listened to the sounds and looked out the windows with no worries of missing an alerter horn or the train stopping unexpectedly. I also realise it's probably possible for me to make my own passenger modes for other routes I have but I'm not that well versed in using all the fancy tools in TS.
I don't know the differences so much about the engines and I certinally don't know the real life routes. But to come home at the end of the day, start up TS, sit back and relax, priceless! Bravo to Thomson Interactive! Thank you!

This is really cool. Scenic and challenging. I also own the Saxon I-KV Pack and it goes well here. Not prototypical, no, but it really sets the look.

Good product but, at least, please fix:
- The sound of the locomotive is not as good as I wold expect
- The whistle! It's totally wrong! The actual one sounds like an Austrian horn, please replace it with the characteristic whistle used by RhB
- It rains inside the carriages in the passenger view (even in 1st class...)
- The locomotive controls: speed control in descents is not implemented and dynamic brakes should be controlled by the driving control wheel instead of the locomotive brakes.

This route is insane. I'm not sure if there is any other similar add-on available except for the sister route Bernina. It's a high moutain route with a lot of sharp curves, bridges, tunnels and low average speed. Therefore it's really unique. Even routes like Mittenwaldbahn which are also placed in high mountains just can't compare to the complexicity of this route. I think this is an experience which everyone should try. The locomotive is nice and quite challenging especially on the downhill where we can't rely on autothrottle and have to brake by ourselves.
With 65 km the route might seem short, but believe me, due to slow average speeds it seems to be much longer than that. The speed limits are nicely marked therefore it's pretty easy to drive the whole route hudless without taking a lot of notes. Swiss signals are pretty easy to understand and everything is covered in the manual.
Before you buy this product you might also want to check out Bernina pass, which is very similar route, but a little bit more oriented on shuttle like service (on Albula it is more like an express train even though it's slow). Both routes connect and can be driven in one go (once you own both add-ons) thanks to official merger by Thompson, which is available in the worshop. If you want to buy only one of them you might want check my review on the other route first.

Awesome route, a full run between St. Moritz and Thusis takes almost 90 minutes. The locomotive has a nice cruise control feature, explained in the tutorial scenario. Quick Drive has some AI in it, and allows you to start and end at several stations on the line.

"Glacier Exporess" is also known as "The slowest Express train in the world" and so far this is the best route i have bought. Breathtaking views and a challenging route to drive.
The downside is that the rolling stock should have included the railcar ABe 4/16 (Allegra) for local trains, and some more variations of freight cars (and of course a diesel tractor for the unelctrified spurs and sidings).
The last question is, why the portion between Chur and Thusis was omitted?
Otherwise i can highly recommend this route.

If you like mountains and narrow gauge track this is highly recommended. A good balance between landscape and performance. Some nice touches such as working ski lifts.
The main downside, but that is to be expected for such a special route, is the very limited variaty of rolling stock. Hopefully if this route proofs to be a commercial success and some addition rolling stock will appear.
[Edit 4-5-2017]: Some additional stock has been released. The makers of the DLC have plans for more rolling stock, but have to wait for the go ahead by DTG.

Beautiful route, very well made.
With only a few exceptions, renders distant mountains very well and beautifully.
Great atmosphere.
The route is full of challenging gradients. The panorama coaches are well made and give great view. The engine is well modelled, both the 3d model as the physics. Controlling the engine hits a good balance between having realistic (not over-simplified) controls, and not being too hard for the casual train driver.
I wish a greater variety of traction and rolling stock was included in this route since there is no other stock available - that is my only criticism of this product. I understand that for some people this is a reason for holding of on buying it, however in my opinion it shouldn't be.
Heartily recommended. One of best (mountain) routes available for TS2017, if not the best.

There are a lots of great thing about the route.
For example:
[list]
[*]Great scenery
[*]The dynamics of the pantograph
[*]The length is good
[*]Realistic catenary
[*]Lots of functions in the locomotive including cruise control
[*]Realistic signaling system
[*]Lots of scenario's
[*]Working ski lifts
[*]Train has differend textures in winter
[/list]
But there a also some setbacks
For example:
[list]
[*]The sounds of the locomotive is just awfully. It sound way different in real life
[*]It's a pity they didn't extended the line to Chur
[*]They didn't include the regular passenger coaches
[*]The locomotive doesn't have dynamic braking
[/list]
In all, it is a great route to drive on. The scenery is beautiful and it is a great fun to drive the route. Specially if you have been on the route in real life. But the sound of de locomotive is a big let down. If the sound was good, it would be an awesome route to drive on.
I would give the route a 7/10
