SBB celebrates 175 years of railroads in Switzerland. On August 9, 1847, scheduled passenger service began between Zurich and Baden, on the Spanish Brötli Railway. This marked the beginning of the development of the Swiss railroad network.
This historic moment in Swiss railroad history is being celebrated with a fitting anniversary program. The Association of Public Transport, SBB, Postbus and the Alliance Swiss Pass have designed a variety of public events in five regions for the celebrations, as well as the official ceremony on August 9, 2022.
Another highlight drawing attention to the anniversary year is the Re 460 class locomotive designed by ROCO in collaboration with SBB and artist Gudrun Geiblinger. The anniversary locomotive has been given two different side designs. On the one hand, the world-famous Spanish Brötli train is reminiscent of the first railroad in Switzerland and the historic Zurich main station exudes the charm of the early railroad era.
The other locomotive side has arrived completely in the modern age: The Swiss ICN high-speed train can be seen leaving the Gotthard Base Tunnel, a masterpiece of the Swiss rail industry.
