It is intended to provide guidance to model railroaders who are detailing the Susch station, or a similar station, especially along the RhB (Rhätische Bahn).

All photos were made by the author between 2001 and 2003. The images in this document are shown in high resolution (300 dots per inch) and high compression. This is the best mix of attributes to allow you to view details. View them at up to 200% magnification. G (Garden) gauge modellers will be interested in the Pola/Faller® Susch station kit, item G999, also known as item 330999, shown here:

H0/H0m scale modellers will be interested in the Faller® H scale kit, item 110101, which appears to be a scale model.

RhB SUSCH STATION TRAIN OPERATIONS

On the next page are 4 views of Susch station, taken in 2001 from above the station, facing south. Pontresina and St. Moritz are to the right, and Scuol is to the left. The RhB is primarily a one-track railroad, so trains must pass at stations or sidings. Typical summer passenger operations are as follows:

Photo1: The hourly train from the direction of St. Moritz (southwest, from the right in the photos) arrives at :55 on track 1. Passengers disembark and embark.

Photo 2: The hourly train from the direction of Scuol-Tarasp (northeast, from the left in the photos) arrives at :58 on track 2. Passengers disembark and stand between tracks 1 and 2, or they walk to the right around the train waiting on track 1. Embarking passengers either walk around the train on track 1 or wait for that train to depart.

Photo 3: The train on track 1 departs for Scuol-Tarasp. Remaining disembarking passengers cross track 1. Remaining embarking passengers enter train.

Photo 4: The train on track 2 departs in the direction of St. Moritz.

The schedule typically changes for the winter during the 4th week of October. During the winter, trains do not pass at Susch station but rather at Saglians, one stop to the northeast. Susch Station Summer Operations
