Bodensee-Toggenburgbahn, Switzerland

This may be intended to depict the Sitterviadukt
The company operated from 1910 a standard gauge line connecting Romanshorn, Saint-Gall, Herisau and Wattwil. In 1912 it was extended to Ebnat-Kappel and Nesslau - Neu-St.Johann. This line, built on very rugged terrain, necessitated the construction of 92 tunnels and 35 bridges. The company electrified its network over 1931-1932.

In 2001 the company merged with the Schweizerische Südostbahn to become the Südostbahn (SOB).
