Swiss Locomotive and Railcar Classification

Swiss Locomotive And Railcar Classification

For more than a century, the Swiss locomotive, multiple unit, motor coach and railcar classification system, in either its original or updated forms, has been used to name and classify the rolling stock operated on the railways of Switzerland. It started out as a uniform system for the classification and naming of all rolling stock, powered and unpowered, but had been replaced and amended by the UIC classification of goods wagons.

    Realistic about how much one person can accomplish in a given day, women expect to have to make some trade-offs between work and family.

    The American people have done much for the locomotive, and the locomotive has done much for them.
