Railway stories

We started the ‘Railway Stories’ section three years ago in the hope that our homepage could regularly present something new and not remain unchanged for months on end, as was previously the case. The smaller stories and contributions about the railway, published at irregular intervals, are intended to evoke memories and encourage reflection and indulgence. Judging by (unfortunately only a few) reactions, we hope and are confident that this is appreciated.
However, contrary to our initial plans, the section has sadly largely become a ‘one man show’. It shouldn’t stay that way! We would therefore like to open it up to other photographers and authors and ask for your support!
As the approximately 30 stories so far show, almost anything is possible. The story should normally look back at least 25 years and have a connection to Switzerland. Ideally, you should provide us directly with an illustrated story (in Word respectively JPG format). One language is sufficient; we will continue to organise the translations. If you are not so keen on writing, simply send photos with a few notes. We will then create a text. Perhaps you would like to write something about a great event, but don’t have any photos? No problem: we’ll try to find something suitable… Incidentally, we reduce photos to around 200kB of data, so copying is not very useful.

Important: You must own the rights to the text and image and authorise us to publish them on the homepage!
