Trogenbahn Railway at Trogen - Switzerland.

Classed as a light railway rather than a tram. The Trogenbahn ran from St Gallen to Trogen.

It has since been upgraded with new stock after my shot here in 2004 and has become one line of the St Gallen S Bahn.

Note the freight wagon attached to the train and the inlaid track.

 

In 2018 this metre gauge overland tramway and the Appenzell were joined together via a cross city route.

It is the steepest adhesion railway in Switzerland with a gradient of up to 8.0% and now forms part of the network of the Appenzell Railways (AB) and the St. Gallen S-Bahn.
