Unsere Bahnen - Unsere Schweiz

This book presents a journey through 17 decades of Swiss railway history - from the first steam locomotives without driver's cabs, where crews were exposed to the weather, to the modern Giruno trains that reach 250 km/h through the Gotthard Base Tunnel.

Each year is illustrated with an image and a short text. A full written history of Swiss railways would not fit meaningfully into a single volume, as many books already cover this topic. Instead, this book uses images to highlight the most important achievements of Swiss rail transport - from the Spanisch Brötli-Bahn to the modern Super Hybrid locomotive by Stadler Rail.
