European Railfanning Trip Pt. 15 - Off the Beaten Track in Northwestern Switzerland

This one may not be for you if you're not into obscure Swiss rail lines. But if you are there's a lot to like. After a look at Konolfingen 0:22 and the historic EBT equipment housed there 0:48, we travel up the EBT (Emmental Burgdorf Thun) to Solothurn 1:40. There we catch new railcars on the SNB (Solothurn Niederbipp Bahn) and ride to Oensingen, traversing newly laid narrow gauge trackage to there from Neiderbipp 8:49. Then on to Liestal for a round trip on the recently modernized narrow gauge Waldenburgerbahn (WB), with lots of views up the track 24:14. The third narrow gauge line we visit is the Wynetal und Suhrenthal Bahn (WSB) 35:19. It recently abandoned a portion of its line from Aarau, shifting to a former branch of the SBB that was regauged. We also take a peek at this area in 1989 37:21. The last narrow gauge line in this program is the Bremgarten Dietikon Bahn (BD) which runs through some lovely countryside in the greater Zurich area 40:39.
Correction: The Limmattalbahn was opened in 2022, not 2002.

Thanks very much

Limmattalbahn is actually pretty cool, its the newest narrowgauge line in Switzerland, and contrary to how it looks, its not a Tram but a light rail line :)

Thanks. I'm looking forward to riding it on my next trip over.
