The way I understand it (I don't speak German, so I couldn't read the article) the SBB CFF FFS has a bunch of sheep, called the "Määäh Troops" because of the sound they make, who graze on railroad property to stop it from getting overgrown. Am I correct? Tor in Eugene Date: 06/18/15 10:29 Re: Switzerland: SBB Määäh Troops... Author: Labby The railroad wants it to look enviromentally friendly so they're offering an opportunity to view it on June 17th at Gelterkinden; on the Basel - Zurich "high" line.
