Hello Peter,

You don't say which language you are most interested in but from an English language viewpoint I would strongly recommend the following: "The Swiss Railways Saga .....150 Years of Swiss Trains" by Hans Peter Treichler. published 1996 ISBN 3-905111-16-0 "Bahnpanorama Schweiz" by Harald Nav� published 1996 ISBN 3-85738054-3 Both books deal with the railways of Switzerland from their conception to recent times (1996) in words and pictures and should still be available from a specialist book shop or Amazon. Although specific to a particular railway another English language book that I like is: "The History of the Gotthard Railway" by M.Hardy-Randall published 1997 ISBN 0-9531841-0-2 This book was published in England and will probably be much harder to obtain as I think the publisher has ceased trading. These are just a few of my favourites and I am sure that there are many more suitable books available in other languages. Best wishes, John.
