Zürich HB, Wednesday evening, at the time when the intresting trains depart. Time for a short trip and to test Zürich's newest night train, the EN Canopus. We're booked in a deluxe sleeper compartment in a CD sleeping car.
#Trambinging Finally a night train ride, where
- the compartment is not above the bogies
- the window closes completely
- the heating works
- the coach has no flats
In other words: Quite a pleasant but short night.

New year - new timetable.
During the last weeks, I updated and extended my 🇨🇭swiss tram network stats. Thought I'd share it here. Ready to dive into some numbers? 🚈🔢
#SwissTramStats 1️⃣ General stats

The number of cities with tram network remains unchanged: 4.
➡️Genève (since 1862)
➡️Zürich (since 1882)

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! 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.

Another month, another Swiss railway goodbye.
Today: #CJ's really old school standard gauge branch line Porrentruy–Bonfol and the last days of their class RBDe 566 I trainsets.
Join @Felyxorez and me for a little goodbye tour!

#AjoieBijou First point: What line again?
We're in the #Ajoie, a secluded and quite France-like part of 🇨🇭, separated from the rest of the country by the Jura mountains.
It's here, where the Chemins de fer du Jura operate a short branch line from Porrentruy to Bonfol.
