Old destination boards in Zürich in Switzerland 19th September 1995. In Denmark such boards are normally made of fibre-plastic material. In Germany they are of tin-plate metal (iron), but in Switzerland they are made of aluminium.

Bad Bubendorf station on the private narrow gauge line of Waldenburger Bahn WB in Kanton Baselland. The now tram-like service used to be in the 1800s, when this station was built, operated by steam engine trains, bringing workers from the small villages uphill to the factories in and near Liestal to work. The old water pipings which were used to fill water into steam engines are still there.

The beer brewery of Felschlösschen in Rheinfelden (Baselland) is over 100 years old and takes pride in still transporting most of its beer with trains instead of lorries. The brewery has built on the other side of the Swiss Rheinfelden station their own "beer station", exclusively for invited visitors to the brewery. Visitors are taken from this beer station with old "beer train" coaches to the brewery, about 1 km off.

Two new cable cars take skiers from the valley of Lötschental to the small sking resort of Lauchernalp, almost 1500 m above sea level. The cable car can take 50 passengers. Skis and snow boards are stowed in a special box hanging under the cabin. The journey takes only about 5 minutes but from this "bottom station" there is still a breathtaking 20 min. climb up an extremely steep slope to the small and only hotel.
