This Easter Monday, my local railway bids farewell to its 1992 stock, the class Be 520. This means: Railway portrait time!

Today: Zürich's steepest, quirkiest and loveliest S-Bahn. The #SZU S10 "#Uetlibergbahn", my #MountainMetro. Welcome to my neighborhood! ImageImageImageImage
The S10 connects mount Uetliberg, Zürich's landmark mountain, the Friesenberg residential area and the important work area of Binz with Zürich's main station "Zürich HB" in the city centre.

The 9.1 km long line is a standard gauge railway, electrified with 1200 V DC and with gradients up to 79 per mil. The line opened in 1875 and is today operated by Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg railway #SZU.
