border lines Switzerland - Austria
In spite of a
similar voltage system (officially 15kV
16.7Hz in Switzerland) specially-equipped
stock has to be used for through electric
operation, because of the different
geometry of the pantographs (catenary
"stagger" and vehicle loading
gauge).
The contact strip of ÖBB-pantos is too
long (1950mm) for the SBB network and on
the other hand the short strip of SBB
pantos (1450mm) would sometimes lose
contact with the wire in Germany or
Austria.

ÖBB works local trains to St Margrethen. SBB works international
trains to/from Lindau, using locomotives fitted with both ÖBB and SBB
pantographs.
Since December 2003 Railion works freight-services between Germany and Wolfurth
(Austria) via Singen - Konstanz - St. Margrethen, using the Swiss section in
open access.
