A line of the Appenzell Railways. It was a cold Sunday morning at Rheineck train station. The railcar has been running since 1958. It has already given up the ghost a few times, and has also derailed. But it will be over in 2026. If everything goes according to plan, it will be replaced by a new railcar. Without a train driver. Stadler is working on it. Too bad, it won't be the same anymore. Switzerland, September 29, 2024.

Today's mountain railway from Rheineck to Walzenhausen, which has been in operation since 1958, will soon be coming to an end. Despite an overhaul, the vibrating railcar had become too old. The abolishment and replacement by a bus service was averted. Stadler is developing a new railcar, and it is to be a world first. So it's also a bit of a prestigious object. The world's first fully automated overland adhesion and rack-and-pinion railroad. With the CBTC solution (Communications-based Train Control) from Stadler at level 4 (GoA4). Without a train driver but remotely monitored by the dispatcher with the option of remote control. It should go into operation as early as 2026. To develop the autonomous operation, the old railcar was equipped with sensors and a recording system. If the train driver sees something that could hinder or endanger the journey, he has to press a button. This is used to compare whether the system has also registered this. However, the equipment does not yet have any function during ongoing operation. Switzerland, April 27, 2024. (1/6)
