Legend

Sdt 5085 9803 103-9 car transport wagon with protective roof, BLS, 1969 Faster to the south with the car on the train The BLS railway company began conveying cars with their occupants through the Lötschberg and Simplon tunnels in 1926. In the early days, they were carried on open goods wagons hitched onto the back of a passenger or freight train. With the timetabled car/rail service launched in 1960, passengers stay in their cars. The car transport wagons now have roofs to guard against falling stones or contact with the catenary wire. The BLS celebrated its 40 millionth car transport in 2010.
