An impressive glimpse into the railway history of Zurich’s Oberland.

This historical photograph from 1932 shows a powerful steam locomotive of the Glatthal Railway Wallisellen–Uster. The locomotive is positioned directly in front of an operations building, while a railway employee can be seen next to the running gear – a particularly beautiful historical document of Swiss railway history.

The detailed black-and-white photograph, with its steam, mechanics and imposing locomotive, vividly conveys the atmosphere of railway operations at the time. An interesting subject not only for people from the Wallisellen and Uster region, but especially also for railway enthusiasts and lovers of historical technology.

The historical photograph has been carefully digitally processed and reproduced as a high-quality print.

The print is delivered already framed and can be hung or placed directly.
