Motor coaches : CFZe 4/4 nrs 1-5

The motor coaches did have a trolley on the roof for getting electricity. Because this gave a problem with the overhead line of the St.gallen tramway, in 1922 the trolley was replaced by a pantograph.

The motor coaches remained in service until about 1960-1970. In these years, when the new motor coaches 6-8 and the second hand 3-5 entered service, the oldes motor coaches could be sold. Motor coach 2-4 ended in the scrape yard.

Nr Out of service Remarks 1 1974 Motor coach 1 got a special end. The motor coach was equal tot the motor coaches which have been in use with the Wetzikon-Meilen Bahn. Under auspicion of a historical club in Meilen the coach was in 1974 repainted in the colors of the WM-Bahn, and was placed as a statue near the railway station of Meilen. Later on it was placed in Gröningen (near Meilen). 2 1964 Scrapped after accident 3 1970 In 1964 renumbered in BDe 4/4 1. Out of service and scrap in 1970 4 1977 In 1964 renumbered in BDe 4/4 2.

A new body, a new interior, and it beacme coach 18. As new coach it could not be recognized as the old motor coach 5

Motorr coach : BDe 4/4 nrs 6-8

With stronger motors, dead men construction, electro magnetic rail braikes and automatic doors thes motor coaches were very modern in the time they were deliverd. Now the exploitation could be done by one man, so with no extra personal the number of trains could be increased from 17 to 26 up and down rides. Now about every 45 minutes there was a train.

From 1979 on these motor coaches were modernised.
In which year these motor coacehs were scrapped is not known (to me)
One of these coaches has remained in service as party coach and can be hired.

Motor coach : CFZe 4/4 nrs 3-5

In may 1963 the rolling stock TL BDe4/4 191-193 were transported from Lausanne to Speicher. Some modifications had to be done, so that nrs 4-5 came into service in 1964, and nr 3 in 1965.

When in 1975-1977 the new articulated motor cars came to the Trogner Bahn, the motor coaches 3-5 were no longer needed. The Trogner Bahn succeeded to find a company to buy the cars. For a fairly low price they were sold to the Stern & Hafrl railway in Vorchdorf (Austria), where they started a third life.

Motor coach : BDe 4/8 nrs 21-25

Because the material appeared to be very good in the beginning, the new trains coud be taken into service already in october 1975. A remarkable fact was the presentation on 17 october, where short rides in St.Gallen between the railway station and the Spisertor were carried out as Spisergass-Express. The public could ride free on this part of the line. The manifestation was on the same moment as the introduction of a pedestrian area in the Spisergass (the road in the city near the Spisertor).

The motor coaches have remained in service until the new coaches 31-35 were delivered in about 2008. Motor coach 22-25 have been out of service and have been sold. Coach 21 was for a few years still available. It was painted in a special blue color, and wass used as party-coach. For special occasions you could rent the coach. In 2011 this car has been sold.

Motor coach 21 and 24 have been sold to the Rittnerbahn in the Italian place Bolzano, where they have been taken into service on 24 september 2011.

Snow ploughs

As long as the rails of the Trogener Bahn were situated in the pavement of the road, the snow plough was pretty good. But when in the years of 1960-1970 more and more of the line got its own right of way, the snow plough did act very good.

Therefore in 1974 a rotary snow plough was bought. It is driven by a diesel motor of 200 hp. The rotary snow plough can be manned by one person. From the driving cab the plough can be moved to both sides of 60 cm outside the center. The exhaustion pipe can also be turned.

As the snow plough is only fit on one side of the coach, the total of the body can be lifted, and rotated over 180 degrees to turn to the other direction.
