European Railroad Discussion > Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991Date: 01/04/20 10:04 Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: thebluecomet While making our move from Luzern to Zurich, I made a few stops along the way. I am posting things in the best order I can recall. There are a few locations I am not certain of.
1. A few miles (km) east of Luzern is the small town of Meggen. A current image using Google street view shows this side of the building has been modified a bit. 2. & 3. The next town I stopped at was Kussnacht. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/04/20 10:16 by thebluecomet.

5. Also Kussnacht.   Date: 01/04/20 10:10 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: thebluecomet Next stop was at Arth-Goldau. Quite a busy place.

------------------------------------------------------- > Goldau also is a terminus for the Arth-Goldau > Rigibahn Railway. Since your trip, the Rigibahn narrow-gauge station at Arth-Goldau has been revised to accommodate two tracks, which end before the covered platform shown in your last photo. Much of the area where the train is standing is used for a shop selling refreshments and souvenirs. The two cars identified in your photos (13, built 1954, and 22, built 1986) are still in use.

Date: 01/05/20 09:02 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: cricketer8for9 Thanks for the photos. I’m a long way from my references so can’t yet help with detail.
Posted from iPhone Date: 01/05/20 12:37 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: norm1153 Well, taking a chance, I de-hazed this photo from wpamtk. Hope that is all right; will delete if requested. It's such a good photo, with so much detail. I'm having a lilttle fun tracing passenger shelters and ramps.
Thanks, Norm  Date: 01/05/20 23:59 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: wpamtk Thanks for your effort. Considering where I was, there was plenty of room for "haze." Here's a couple more you can work on, from the same vantage point but more in the direction of Lucerne.
  Date: 01/06/20 00:30 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: norm1153 OK, one down one to go.
 Date: 01/06/20 07:59 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: norm1153 2nd attached.
 Date: 01/06/20 15:15 Re: Switzerland, Part 3, Luzern to Zurich, 1991 Author: wpamtk Very nice! As you can see, there's more to railfanning on Mount Rigi than just riding the train up.
