Steam romance on Lake Constance
The Thurgau operates the popular "Mostindien-Express". Every last Sunday from May to October, public steam trains run from Romanshorn; in the morning on the lake line or in the Thur valley and in the afternoon twice to Rorschach and back.
The historic composition, pulled by the MThB steam locomotive Ec 3/5 No. 3, consists of the red saloon car, the green luggage/mail car and the blue observation car, as well as a direct passenger car (panorama car) to Heiden. Guests board the train and experience the slowness of the old days. All journeys are accompanied by a small catering service.
The association also has other special trips on its annual program.
The rolling stock is stationed in the historic locomotive shed (Locorama Romanshorn). The well-known "Thurgauer Zug", an electric commuter train of the former Thurgau, with the exclusive Bodan saloon car, is also stationed there. This composition is allowed to run on most standard-gauge railroad lines in Switzerland.
The association is happy to organize an individual trip for personal events, whether steam or electric.
