My first surprise was a real war machine in the locker room university accommodation I had been ass

Many people throughout the world have a street Railway but Zurich is very special, with its many shops, its trams and lush green trees. The Bahnhofstrasse as they say in German "Street railway station" - not a suburban satellite nor away from the village. It is the main artery of the city as well and according to legend, hides a disturbing secret.
The second time I went to Zurich coffee table base only was only the first step towards Austria-I did in the "Catalan Talgo" from Barcelona to Geneva. The year was 1969 and a few months ago that had commissioned the legendary Spanish train. In Geneva, after going there a couple coffee table base only of days visiting the city, I took a regional bound for Zurich. The reason for my stay was going to be an academic so I waited a couple of months to know it thoroughly.
My first surprise was a real war machine in the locker room university accommodation I had been assigned. It was my companion in the military, whose arms and ammunition kept them there, as usual in Switzerland. Something for Spanish and in those years was completely unheard of.
And by little I could walk about the streets coffee table base only of Zurich, told me that the Bahnhofstrasse brand, which runs from the station to the large urban lake called Zurichsee, they were hollow underneath and that she had vaults where the gold was kept half the world and fortunes of thousands of citizens of many countries that hid well the treasury. Nothing on the surface had to reveal important treasure except a succession of benches along the street among which was the National Bank of Switzerland, at the other end, and near the lake.
I never knew if it was a legend or a reality as gold and hidden fortunes on the street, but given the information by all countries abound after I think they were right.
Never returned a single Swiss city until 2011 and anything else to get off the train Hotel "Pau Casals" which is the photo and where I came from Barcelona, I remembered the urban legend. No longer interested me find nothing but visit the city and all the interesting things that has the rail on it, because in the beginning there is a curious relationship with Spain, which I told in the other input.
I will also take the opportunity to go back again on the history of the magnificent building coffee table base only of Zurich Central Station, the side-inlet face of Bahnhofstrasse - we can see in this picture. The statue is seen in the foreground is the engineer Alfred Escher, one of the pioneers of railway development in Switzerland. Although the initial construction dates from 1847, the facade of the station is 1871, when it undertook its first modernization of facilities. Because the original building looked like collecting this engraving of the period.
The new facade to the side building we see on the left of B was attached. Of note is the curious layout of the roads out of the building to converge at a roundabout. Thus, the reversal of the locomotives was performed. The river we see in the foreground is the Limmat. coffee table base only The arm that goes to the left uphill was blinded at the time to build the space station, as is currently dating from 1970. In an old floor plan can be seen in more detail building architecture and pathways.
Here we can see the original form of the building of the 1847 season, when it arrived it the "Spanish Railway rolls." Also seen in the picture over three roundabouts away allowing small locomotives then a lateral workshop for maintenance. The river on the right is the Sihl, a tributary of the Limmat coffee table base only converging upstream station. Further enlargement of the beach road from the station, which was taken from the actual lobby, forced to cover the bed of the Sihl now runs under the platform surface, coffee table base only all in cul de sac, and the through platforms located at bottom, corresponding coffee table base only to the S-Bahn lines. A curious sandwich river is thus formed between the railroads. A view of how the platforms were extended coffee table base only on the Sihl, we sign this historic photo from early last century.
Here are two aspects of the arrangement of the tracks from the station. At the top the view is transversely. The river runs along the pedestrian corridor beneath the upper tract. Below, on the left, the through-way S-Bahn and the right-hand red-framed extending through vias currently rushing and others planned for later. In the lower sketch, the Sihl appears light blue and sandwich
