Sibni (1)

The 21st century meets the 19th century: a state-of-the-art Rigi Bahn train passes the Lok 7, nicknamed "Sibni", which amazes young and old alike in front of the restaurant renamed in its honour. This steam locomotive, built in 1873 in Winterthur, has been in service for 64 years on the slopes of the Rigi, sometimes reaching the staggering speed of 7.5 km/h. Incredible but true: it is still running!
