Rail transport has always been part of the Swiss Museum of Transport and will continue to play an important role in the future. With the new, interactive exhibition "Swiss Railway Experience" (opening on June 18, 2025), you will learn exciting facts about various aspects of rail transport in Switzerland. Eight themed areas bring to life the extent to which the railroads shape Switzerland economically, ecologically, culturally and socially. The main partner of the exhibition is SBB.

A major highlight is the newly designed Gotthard railway model layout, which is one of the largest in Switzerland with a length of 31.5 metres and a width of 3.5 metres. The exhibition is complemented by legendary railway vehicles such as the SBB locomotive Re 4/4 II 11108 "Swiss Express", a dining car from 1967, the Ce 6/8 I 14201 "Köfferli locomotive" from 1918, the CFe 2/4 No. 11 railcar from 1913 of the Lauterbrunnen Mürren mountain railway, the Bhe 1/2 No. 21 cogwheel railcar from 1937 of the Pilatus Railway and a "Tintenfisch" shunting tractor.
