The SBB starts the 175th anniversary and unveils two anniversary locomotives

Colloquially it was called the “Spanish Brötli Railway”: In August 1847, the Swiss Northern Railway (SNB) was the first railway in the country to start operating between Zurich and Baden AG, popularly called after the Baden specialty called Spanish Brötli. This means that the railways in Switzerland are 175 years old this year.

Reason enough to celebrate in the railway country of Switzerland, which in terms of rail use per capita is only in rankings worldwide Japan must give up. For “175 Years of Swiss Railways”, the SBB, which has over 36,000 employees, organizes events in all parts of the country with other public transport providers. And at the SBB works in Yverdon-les-Bains VD, locomotives in the anniversary dress were unveiled on March 9, 2022.
