125 Jahre Uerikon-Bauma-Bahn: Das grosse Dampfbahn-Fest im Zürcher Oberland!
Overview
Intro
On October 10 and 11, 2026, a big celebration marking the 125th anniversary of the Uerikon-Bauma Railway (UeBB) will take place around Bachtel. A total of four steam locomotives will be in service!
On October 10 and 11, 2026, a major celebration will take place around Bachtel to mark the 125th anniversary of our main line, the remaining section of the Uerikon-Bauma Railway (UeBB). A total of four steam locomotives and additional electric and diesel-electric locomotives will be in service.
Following the great success of the Tösstalbahn’s 150th anniversary last year, three more milestone anniversaries are coming up in our region in 2026:
125th anniversary of the Uerikon-Bauma Railway (UeBB) (our main line)
150th anniversary of the Tösstalbahn (2nd stage: Bauma – Wald – Rüti)
150th anniversary of the Kempttalbahn (Effretikon – Wetzikon – Hinwil)
We are taking this opportunity to once again offer public Bachtel round-trip tours with a transfer in Hinwil for the first time in many years. For this trip, we’ll be using the “Wyländerli,” a vehicle that was once regularly in service in the Tösstal. This round-trip tour will take you along parts of all the anniversary routes! Among the absolute highlights are the UeBB steam railcar (now part of SBB Historic / Zurich Steam Group) and the Langnau steam locomotive, a sister locomotive to those of the Tösstalbahn, dating from 1881. Of course, our Locomotive 401—also an original UeBB locomotive—will be there as well.
And as always, children up to age 16 ride for free with the DVZO!
