SBB celebrates 175 years of railways in Switzerland. On August 9, 1847, the timetable for passenger transport was started between Zurich and Baden on the âSpanish Breadli Bahnâ. The development of the Swiss railway network began with this.This historic moment in Swiss railway history is celebrated with a special anniversary program. The Association of Public Transport, SBB, Postauto and the Alliance Swiss Pass have designed a wide range of public events in five regions for the celebrations and the official ceremony on August 9, 2022. Another highlight that draws attention to the anniversary year is the locomotive of the Re 460 series, designed by Fleischmann in cooperation with SBB and the artist Gudrun Geflashing. The anniversary locomotive was provided with two different side designs. On the one hand, the world-famous âSpanish Breadli Bahnâ reminds us of the first railway in Switzerland and the historic Zurich main station exudes the charm of the early railway period. The other locomotive side has arrived completely in the modern age: The Swiss high-speed train ICN is to be seen on leaving the Gotthard base tunnel, a masterpiece of the Swiss railway industry.This text is machine translated.
