I think the RailJet is definitely my favorite. Not as fast as the others but the
scenery between Zurich and Innsbruck just can't be beat. Even more fun if you stop off at the
Aqua Dome on the way.

That reminds me, Swiss rails offers some of the best scenic rail tours anywhere in the world. The Bernina and Glacier Express I'm told offer some stunning alpine scenery.
