The history of the development of Switzerland's intricate railway system is detailed in this book, from the construction of the first line in 1847 to the creation of the nation's rail council in 1852. It explores the failed attempts to turn the rail system over to private enterprise and then to implement a 'purchase by penetration' method that would bring shares under government control. The author delves into the arguments for and against nationalizing the railways and the debates that arose in the Federal Assembly. This book captures the evolution of the Swiss railway system and offers insights into the ideas that gave rise to its present form.
