A delightful blast from the past with the D 1/3 "Limmat" steam engine from 1847 (the brown one) and the Ec 2/5 28 "Genf" from 1858 (the green one)...both are 2 cylinder engine. The passenger cars pulled are also the original (restaured) from the 1847 first train line in Switzerland between Zurich and Baden by SNB (Swiss Northern Railways)...a 20 km line (12.5 miles)

What an absolute treat to see that colorful equipment in action! And the video is beautifully made. Thank you so much for posting.
Lafondue, Thanks for sharing! It was really neat to see the old equipment at work!

I wish we would do more of this in the United States. Unfortunately, it seems like only the more modern steam (for the most part) gets to run here...
