We rode this train from Chur to Tiefencastel. Tiefencastel was to be our base for the next few days. The first problem was that the station was on one side of the valley and the town and hotel were on the other so, down and up again we went.
The second problem was there was no one at the hotel. We really didn't want to drag suitcases around all day so I took to the phone. I don't speak German and the lady who answered the phone did not speak English but within a few minutes a car pulled up and she showed us where the key was (it was right there outside in a box on the wall). We seemed to be the only guests and as best I could determine whoever was supposed to be running the hotel had quit. But the important thing was that we were free of our bags and could hoof it back through town and up the hill to catch the next train.
Another reason for visiting Mongolia was to see Soviet era diesels in action, specifically M62's. While they don't normally lead freight, they are fairly common in leading local passenger trains. Here an M62 (the #1 even), drops down the Khonhor Loops leading Train 285 for Ulaanbaatar.
