Vevey-Montreux-Chilon

The Vevey-Montreux-Chillon tramway,a ride for the rich, was the precursor to today's 2 ten km light rail lines. The line uses track from a museum line, along with track to Vevey from the Chemins de Fer ElectriquesVeveysans. These units were acquired for a short lived service between Montreux and Vevey via the Blonay-Chamby museum line. It didn't last long and they work local services out of Montreux as far as Chateux D'Oex and some services on the CEV, but not to the top.

Passengers traveling on to the Pleidades must change to a rack railway car even though it is a continuation of the line.
