General information

Janus or Ianus is a God of beginnings and endings, enterances and exits, backwards and forwards, transitions, animalistic spirit of doorways. Janus is easily recognizable as a two face god, one bearded the other a unbearded youth some depictions the faces having both beards. Janus or in Latin Ianus, the name derived from the word Ianua meaning “Door”. His temple was set on Janiculum Hill on the western bank of the Tiber. It is said that Janus was once a King of Latium who was known for his pious deeds and character that made a example of his people how to be pious before the gods. It was also said he had a relationship with a nymph called Camasere whom bore Tiberinus who either died in or near the river of Albula but renamed as the River Tiber. He then became defied as the doorkeeper of the gods being the meditator between mortal man and the gods. He is associated with transitions especially when war time happens Janus’s temple double gates were open and as war transition into peace time the gates closed. His cult was most likely formed by King Numa who founded Ianus Geminus (two folded) shrine, King Numa known for his piety built the shrine in the Roman Forum close to the senate house. The spot was sacred, according to the legend when Sabines attacked the Romans Janus stopped them by throwing a bubble of hot boiling water at the Sabines. Because of Numa, it is why Janus is part of the Julian Calander which is January the last and first month of the year, Janus is known as the Father of Years because of this. Also represented looking backwards into the past but also the potential future, good example making new year resolutions or new year goals. He was very important in Roman public worship, as he would be the first to receive offerings and libations and incense as he was the doorkeeper to the gods, appeasing him he’ll allow the easy access to the gods as the ritual commence. He was offered spelt mixed with salt and barely cake of Ianual. During the New Year the Romans would give gifts of dates (type of fruit), figs, and honey as well money to friends and loved ones for future prosperity and well-being.

Le Bernina Express localisation 📍Suisse🇨🇭

Le Bernina Express commence avec la construction du chemin de fer Albula et du chemin de fer Bernina à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. C'est un itinéraire de train panoramique qui parcourt les paysages spectaculaires des Alpes suisses, reliant la ville suisse de Chur à la ville italienne de Tirano

I once traveled from Milan to Tirano, then from Tirano to St. Moritz, then from St. Moritz to Chur. Tirano to Chur was in panoramic Bernina Express. The trip started in Milan at 8.30 and ended in Chur by 3 pm. This is an outstanding train journey. Anyone visiting Switzerland should not miss this

GLACİER EXPRESS

Glacier Express belkide İsviçre’deki panoramik trenlerin en ünlüsüdür. “Dünyanın en yavaş ekspresi” olan ve MGB ile RhB şirketleri tarafından ortak olarak işletilen bu tren, Matterhorn’un eteklerindeki Zermatt’tan başlayarak Brig, Andermatt, Oberalppass, Chur, ve Albula Demiryolu üzerinden geçerek Graubünden’deki St. Moritz’e ulaşır. Modern panoramik vagonlarla İsviçre’nin nefes kesici buzul, dağ ve nehir manzaralarının keyfini çıkartabilirsiniz. Restoran vagonunda taze olarak hazırlanan yemekler koltuğunuzda servis edilir. Glacier Express’in haricinde rota üzerindeki her noktada hizmet veren ve rezervasyon gerektirmeyen saatlik bölgesel trenler de mevcuttur.

Glacier Express trenlerinde klimalı ve büyük panoramik pencereli modern vagonlar vardır.

Railway asks: 1, 5, 7?

Questions here

1 Favorite Railway Station

This may be controversial, but I’m picking Köln Hauptbahnhof (Cologne Main Station). I’ve spent so much time there taking pictures of trains, it has a beautiful (if awkward for trains) location, there’s always something going on there. Yes, it’s far from perfect, the famous curve is awkward, it is way too small both for the numbers of trains and passengers through it, and parts of it just feel a bit shoddy, and the amazing beautiful book store is no more, now relegated to a normal tiny station store. But still, as the start point for longer journeys for me for many years (there’s not that many places that Aachen has direct connections to), it has a special place in my heart.

5 Favorite Railway Company

HSB, the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, the steam powered narrow gauge railway in the Harz mountains, where I grew up. To be fair, I didn’t grow up right next to the line, I probably visited it way too little all things considered. But it has beautiful steam locomotives and it’s basically home.

7 Most beautiful train route I’ve taken

Bernina Express (Chur-Tirano). Most rail lines in Switzerland are great, but the combined Albula and Bernina lines are something else. The amazing sights right up to the glaciers, the famous infrastructure (Landwasserviadukt and circle bridge of Brusio alone), the picturesque sights, the stark views above the tree line, the tiny towns it goes through in the Italian-speaking section, it’s just amazing.

Why didn’t I pick the Glacier Express, which is more famous and its route partially overlaps the Bernina Express? Honestly mostly because I travelled on it last in 2009, and I was on the Bernina Express just a few months ago, so it’s more fresh in my mind. But both are great and world class.
