Re: Swiss Narrow Gauge Railroads

Generally said whatever part of Switzerland you hit you will find an active narrow gauge railway/system close by.
Even if it is "just" tramway systems, they all run on narrow gauge (metre gauge).
All the public railways operate year round, most of the tourist/museum operations run on Weekends during the Summer only.



To provide you with a small overview of what we have here in Switzerland I found some links for you:

The most prestigious of them:

Rhätische Bahn (Rhaetian Railwas) With Bernina- and Glacier Express:

Golden Pass Line which runs from Lucerne to lake Geneva:

Then there are the ones usually considered "secondary":

Appenzeller Bahnen: (German site only)

www.appenzellerbahnen.ch


The Transports Public Fribourgoise, connected with the MOB (Golden Pass Line System)

Chemins de Fer du Jura:

Tourist / Museum Railway:

The Furka Line has already been mentioned above.


Brienz - Rothorn Bahn (steam operated rack railway to the top of the Rothorn Mountain)

We have a lot more to see here but this gives you a basic overview of what you can expect.
