Swiss Railway Saga – 150 Years of Swiss Trains

Content:
“The Railway Saga of Switzerland”, the official book for the 150th anniversary of the Swiss railways, is a beautifully illustrated cultural history of rail transport in Switzerland. The phenomenal rise of the railways from their humble beginnings in the first half of the 19th century, in the era of the stagecoach, to the present day is presented in words and pictures. The focus is not on technical development, but on the importance of the railway for society, culture and the economy in Switzerland. A perspective on the major railway projects of the future shows how Swiss railways will make the step into the third millennium.
