Views from the rear of a moving train travelling on the Arlberg Railway, through the Arlberg mountains in the Alps. The train passes along a valley and through a tunnel. It continues along a valley where a bridge is visible down below.

The train pulls slowly past a station where a Swiss flag is visible and where a woman waits on the platform. It travels along a bridge with a sharp drop into the valley. Chalets are visible along the line and another train passes by. It then passes along another valley through which a river flows. Further along the river, buildings are visible on either side of a bridge crossing the river.

The train passes through a tunnel before travelling along a steep section of the valley where there is a sharp drop down into the valley below. The train pulls out of the tunnel.
