Route
- S 26 Winterthur HB – Bauma – Rüti ZH
Also known as the Tösstalbahn, the line runs from the south end of the Zürichsee (Lake Zürich) in Rapperswil – through the Zürcher Oberland partly following Jona river – on the eastern side of the Canton of Zürich – then through the Tösstal (Töss valley) to the other terminus in Winterthur. Due to a lack of paths after the S 15 was opened, the S 26 runs only between Winterthur and Rüti ZH.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
