Cogwheel steamlocomotive H 1/2 # 7 of the Rigi Bahnen (owned by the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, built in 1873 by SLM Winterthur) on the traverser of the depot Goldau, together with passenger car B # 5. The train came down by night from Rigi Staffel on the occasion of a photo charter. The short and light passenger car # 5 was built in 1871 in the workshop of the Swiss Central Railway in Olten (whose director was the builder of the Rigi Railway, Niklaus Riggenbach), in order to be able to carry an additional small freight car up the mountain. In 1938, the car was rebuilt as freight car K # 26 and renumbered K # 30 in 1946. For use together with locomotive # 7 in 2009, the car was rebuilt as a passenger car in the Vitznau workshop in 2008.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
