Switzerland is one of the few European countries where factories still have train tracks in the old style - like factories used to in the 1940´s, and even private industrial locomotives can still be found - in stark contrast to the rest of the Western Europe, where this is a phenomenon of decades long gone by. Here are some of the industrial locomotives found in the country.

This cute little private diesel locomotive is owned by the Swissmills wheat mill, inside the city of Zürich, next to the river Limmat and only less than a kilometre from the main station. Photo in June 1999 by Ilkka Siissalo, ilkka.siissalo(at-sign)iki.fi Uploaded June 6th, 2002
