Schiller, Uri, Stadt Luzern and Unterwalden .... in procession
Unterwalden (right) originally built in 1902 is one year younger than Uri
(left) and both are close sisters. Both also underwent similar changes over
the years and both have now been restored to something approximating their original
profile. Unterwalden's enclosed upper deck, essential to meet modern passenger
comfort expectations, has benefitted from the most modern of designs, and unlike
Uri, the glaszing is, from a distance, almost imperceptible
.....and
now, the star of the show : PS Unterwalden herself.....
