Swiss Lötschberg railway attracts lively interest

On 2 October 2024, another of our well-established and well-attended lecture evenings took place at the museum. The museum’s cafeteria was filled to capacity when our member Andreas Mampel spoke about the Swiss Lötschberg railway (operated by BLS: Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon). He covered everything from the beginnings and the corresponding historical vehicles and events to the present day and a little beyond. The very informative lecture was enlivened by numerous pictures of the vehicles, lines and tunnels (interior and exterior views). The presentation was followed by a lively discussion. The speaker was able to confidently answer the questions that arose.

The next lecture evening will also be organised by Andreas Mampel. Together with his brother Matthias Mampel, he will present the operation and technology of the railway museum’s signal box. The lecture and demonstration will take place on 6 November 2024 at 8 p.m. Admission is free.
