This building, located
just outside Zurich Hauptbahnhof, is home
to the
Zentralstellwerk Zürich
(central signal box).
Designed by Max Vogt, architect to the
Swiss Federal Railway, it was built in
1966. An entry on the World Public
Library website says that it,
"...
is equipped with a
computerized controller that performs
the standard operations. Apart from
the tracks and points (switches) of
the "Sihlpost station" (which are
controlled by an electronic control
system), the entire control of the
points and signals in the
Langstrasse–Concourse section is still
largely under relay control, in some
cases with the original relay sets
installed in 1966"
