The Swiss seem to like moving things by rail. I lost count of the number of rail-served factoreis and businesses we passed travelling around. Many looked like the sidings were still in use too.
However, the subject of this post is the traditional, wooden, Swiss good shed. There are plenty of these around too. I'm not sure many are used as much as the one at Lauterbrunnen, but some certainly are.
Interlaken Ost's isn't railway, but it's still in place. At the other end of the town, near Inerlaken West, the shed is larger, but taken over by a sort of market style trader that reminded me of Jurby Junk on the Isle of Man many years ago. I suppose it's a tribute to these buildings that they are still standing, and ideal for his business.
