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)
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
