List of narrow-gauge railways in Switzerland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of narrow-gauge railways in Switzerland includes all existing narrow-gauge railway lines in Switzerland.

In Switzerland , narrow-gauge railways are mostly meter-gauge and distributed across the country. In several cases you cross the national border . Many of them have been electric since they opened. In the Alps , within the main Alpine ridge, there is a continuous meter-gauge network stretching from Valais to Graubünden , which is operated entirely by the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway (MGB) with mixed adhesion and cogwheel operation and by the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) in full adhesion operation. Very early on, narrow-gauge railways opened up mountains for up-and-coming tourism , such as the Monte Generoso or the Jungfraujoch . Tourism also first led to luxury and later to panorama trains on the meter-gauge railways . The Montreux-Berner Oberland-Bahn (MOB) played a pioneering role here , first with the Golden Mountain Pullman Express and then with panorama cars. Many smaller meter gauge railways, particularly in western Switzerland , in the Central Plateau and in the Eastern developed parallel to population growth in the urban areas into efficient transport companies of public transport , some with S-Bahn -like suburban traffic. Thus, the promoted regional transport Bern-Solothurn (RBS) more passengers on meter gauge as MGB and RhB together.

In addition to the meter gauge, other gauges are also common in Switzerland: 600 millimeters mostly for field railways operated as museum railways, 800 millimeters for cogwheel mountain railways and 900 millimeters for temporary factory railways in tunnel construction, some of which can be quite extensive.
