Swiss Federal Railways

It is usually referred to by the initials of its German, French, and Italian names, either as SBB CFF FFS, or used separately. The Romansh version of its name, ''Viafiers federalas svizras'', is not officially used.

Ziegelbrücke–Linthal Railway
The Ziegelbrücke–Linthal railway (formerly the Weesen–Linthal railway, also called the Glarnerlinie—Glarus line), is a single-track standard-gauge line in Switzerland. It was opened in two stages and by two railway companies. The line from Weesen via to was opened on 15 February 1859 by the United Swiss Railways (''Vereinigte Schweizerbahnen'', VSB). It was opened with the ––Weesen line. The line from Glarus via to was opened on 1 June 1879 by the Swiss Northeastern Railway (''Schweizerische Nordostbahn''). The Lake Zürich left-bank railway, which was built by the Swiss Northeastern Railway, was extended from Ziegelbrücke to Näfels-Mollis station on 20 September 1875. This line took over much of the traffic between Weesen and Näfels-Mollis, making the old line unprofitable. Therefore, the line was closed by the SBB on 1 January 1931 and later dismantled. Weesen station was relocated on the occasion of the opening of the double-track line on 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Railway Station
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...
