Crossing keeper small house
Protection against wind and weather
Until the 30th of January 1992, the railway crossing Riedgass in Escholzmatt was secured by a female crossing keeper. To avoid that she had to carry out her responsible manual work in the open air, this small house was built. With the tremendous increase in traffic on road and rail that started around 1960, the work of the crossing keeper became increasingly more difficult and the risk of accidents grew. Quickly, many of the railway crossings were therefore eliminated and the remaining ones automated. The profession of crossing keeper disappeared.
