Remarks & Notes

This is a "historic" picture from inside the central signal tower of Winterthur (located in the first floor of the station building) in december 2005 on 01.45 AM at night. In the foreground the keyboard, from which the instructions were given to the large panoramic board visible in the background or in the relay room respectively. The screens show the locations of trains in the region and the train data for the automatic guidance. Since november 2012 this workplaces are abandoned and the signal tower and the whole region of about 50 stations is remote controlled from the new Betriebszentrale (operations center) in Zürich Airport.
