At the western end of the “Vierwaltstattersee”, lies the town of
Luzern. Following a fire in 1971, there stands only a
stone arch of
the original station building which is situated in the new station
concourse.
Luzern is a terminus station.
Standard gauge trains of the SBB
and SOB together with the metre gauge trains of the SBB Brünig
and Luzern-Stans-Engelberg
Bahn (LSE), share the station
platforms and approaches.
Modern rolling stock, of types EW IV and IC 2000, are pushed or
pulled by Class Re 460 locos. Luckily the trains over the Gotthard
are still loco hauled and provide extra loco changes in
the station.
The uncoupling is a noisy procedure at the head of the platform.
Many trains are witnessed arriving and
departing, you can “feel”
the atmosphere on the platform, see the LSE and Brünig trains
climb up into the city, see views
stretching over the station
concourse and lake and witness various advertising liveries worn by
the locomotives.
