On the occasion of the celebration of 150 years railway line Turgi-Koblenz-Walshut, two of the oldest operational steamlocomotives of Switzerland pulled this train from Koblenz to Turgi, leaving Siggenthal-Würenlingen. Ec 2/5 # 28 "Genf" was built by Esslingen/Germany in 1858 for the Schweizerische Centralbahn (SCB), mainly for the Hauenstein line Sissach-Läufelfingen-Olten, and is of the "Engerth" design. The "Mallet" Ed 2x2/2 # 196 was built by Maffei/Germany in 1893, for the same line as # 28 years before. The cars of the train are replicas of the "Spanisch Brötli Bahn", first railway in Switzerland in 1847 from Baden to Zürich.
