SBB anniversary journey: a reinterpretation of the historic first journey of 1902.

With the SBB anniversary journey, we will be re-enacting the historic first journey of 1902 with two special journeys, combining the historic with the modern.

The historic special event train is travelling from Zurich, pulled by the B 3/4 1367 steam engine. A long-distance double-deck train in anniversary livery will arrive from Lausanne. The two trains will meet up in Olten, symbolising both history and the modern age. Enter the ticket draw – with a little luck, you could be making this once-in-a-lifetime trip.
