The Südostbahn (SOB) 526 053-4 seen at Sargans

In this travelogue I am going to present the Waldenburgerbahn from the North-West of Switzerland. The photos were taken during a trip in 2018, so far our last in the country. We are in a continuous hurry to visit all the railways that still have some classucal, 1960s-1990s equipment and record the beautiful landscape with those unique vehicles. The Stadler replcaments, though practical and comfortable, are rather uniform and somewhat plastic for our taste. This article only covers a small part of our trip, omits our first days at the Rhätische Bahn and our last days on the various mountain railways in the area of Aigle. The reconstruction of the Waldenburg Railway made this part of the trip very important to us, even though the landscape is only hilly and not at all alpine. Still a unique experience.

But how did we get there from the RhB?
