Switzerland Complex catenary construction where the AAR line Aarau-Menziken passes the SBB line Lenzburg-Zofingen at the level. AAR is electrified at 750V DC, while SBB is 15kV AC. It looks like there is a neutral section where the lines cross. Suhr, 07-08-2010 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |

AAR is a system of public traffic in Aarau and its region using buses and narrow gauge (1000mm) railways. The "Wynental- und Suhrentalbahn" (WBS) could be surely named as backbone of this system. Here started WBS Be 34 from "main-station" of the company in Aarau. Please excuse lingual stumbling, but this station is placed behind main-station of SBB (oder wie de' Koelsche sagen würd': Auf de' schä Sick). Shot on 4th of August 2005. Photo ©Arnim v. Herff |
