The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) has an extensive archive, which is kept by the organisation &lsquo;SBB Historic&rsquo;. Parts of this archive were already available on 24Trains.tv, but we now have more exclusive movies for you! In this series there are 10 videos from this archives from different era&rsquo;s about different subjects. For example a promotion film from 1930 until more recent material from 2003. The movies are categorized per theme and we hope of course that we can add more and more! Credits: SBB Historic
