The Arlberg Railway

In 1906 the Arlberg Railway which connects the Austrian cities of Innsbruck and Bludenz is the only eastwest mountain railway in Austria This 340second ghost railroad ride shows the view from the back of a train though Im not sure if its heading east or west This kind of film in vogue at the time is an intermediate form of short reality which often showed a train engaging in a bend and a feature documentary Its editing is live linear and temporal and the cuts are very apparent Indeed the choices of where to place the cuts seem to have avoided the less populated stretches There are plenty of buildings to see even when the train is not at the station
