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:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of spaceout of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“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)
