Zentralbahn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zentralbahn is a Swiss railway company that was created on January 1, 2005, with the merger of the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg-Bahn (LSE) and the Brünigbahn. The company is located in Stansstad.
On 30 June 2004, the Swiss Federal Council empowered the SBB-CFF-FFS to sell the Brünigbahn to the LSE as per 1 January 2005, and subsequently the LSE was renamed Zentralbahn.
At the end of 2009 ZB took over the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) (standard gauge) infrastructure from Kriens-Luzern-Bahn, making ZB a dual gauge operation between Luzern and Horw.
A 4,043 m (13,264 ft) tunnel was constructed on Luzern-Stans-Engelberg-Bahn; it opened in December 2010.[1]
