Bill's Excellent Swiss Train & Tram Adventure

[bill937ca]

The final train is the Red Arrow. The Red Arrow is a group of similar but different rail cars and trains built in the 1930s.  The were a mixture of single units and double units, either diesel or electrically powered.  The unit in the photos is the Churchill Arrow which was once used by Winston Churchill to deliver a famous speech on the future of Europe in 1946.  It is now used as a special event train.  Here it is running as a Fondue train.  Zurich has Fondue trams @ 125 Swiss Francs per passenger which sell out  the season within days.  I spotted this train just after I had dinner the final evening.
