Image description

On 23 February 1948, a passenger train in Waedenswil (ZH) races into the building of the Zuerichsee wine cooperative and kills 19 people. The train with 450 passengers could not take longer to the journey from Samstagern to Waedenswil. In order not to let the train crash onto the oncoming express train, it was diverted to an industrial track, where it overtook a buffer stop and raced into the building at high speed.
