Remarks & Notes |
A very interesting non-powered vehicle of the former Vitznau-Rigi railroad (VRB) is this trolley for 2 persons, with cogwheel brake. The vehicle X # 200 was built approximately between 1910 and 1920 and served in each case the director of the railroad at that time for the descent from Kaltbad to Vitznau. The water tank at the back under the seat was used to cool down the two independent brakes, both of which acted exclusively on the cogwheel. Today, the vehicle is on display at Vitznau station. See a run in 2011 on youtube:
