The A2 motorway services at Erstfeld in Switzerland will soon have an unusual temporary restaurant. Two Swiss railway restaurant cars have been transported to the service area together with a specially painted Ae 610 (formerly Ae6/6) electric loco and a converted baggage car. The loco and cars have been placed on their own piece of track in a landscaped area. The converted baggage car is positioned between the two restaurant cars and acts as an entrance hall. As well as providing eating facilities the loco and cars will also act as an advert for the 125th Anniversary of the Gotthard Railway next year.
It could only happen in a railway-loving country like Switzerland.
