Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg-Bahn - Switzerland
The SZU operates two very different lines: the Sihltal commuter line operated by
locomotives and partly double-deck stock (15kV AC) and the Uetliberg mountain
line operated by motor cars and trailers (1200V DC). Both lines use an underground
station in Zürich, therefore the DC overhead wire is located on one side while the
AC overhead wire is in the center.
DC motor car Be 526 is ready to leave towards Triemli, halfway down the line.
