The Arth-Rigi-Bahn (ARB) is a Swiss standard-gauge cog railway that runs from Arth-Goldau to the Rigi. Together with the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn (VRB), which reaches the mountain from the other side, it has formed the Rigi-Bahnen AG ( rb ) company since 1992. When the citizens of Schwyz heard from Arth that a railway was to be built up the Rigi from the Lucerne side, they received the concession from the Schwyz cantonal council in 1870 for the Schwyz route between Staffelhöhe and Rigi Kulm, as well as between Arth, Oberarth and Kulm. They commissioned the two engineers Zschokke and Riggenbach to build the same. Arther Aktiengesellschaft immediately began building the Staffelhöhe line to Rigi Kulm (1,752 m above sea level). M.) tackled. In the summer of 1873, the phased-out Lucerne Vitznau-Rigi Railway took over this route and had to pay a rent for the use of the Staffelhöhe–Rigi Kulm track until the merger in 1992. Then, in 1873, the tracks were built from Goldau (518 m above sea level). M.) via Kräbel and Klösterli (1315 m above sea level). M.) and in 1874 the Arth-Oberarth-Goldau section was tackled. At 4. On June 1, 1875, the Arth-Rigi railway was able to start operating on the entire route. Although it had lost the race against the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn, it shone with the more magnificent view on the route and with the more luxurious carriages. In 1928, the mountain railway also began operating in winter between Goldau and Rigi-Kulm. The standard-gauge line originally began in Arth on the shore of Lake Zug. This valley railway going to Arth-Goldau station, an adhesion railway, was separated from the rack railway in 1881 and operated separately, but one track connection remained. In 1959 this branch was shut down and the track systems were dismantled. On 20. In October 1885, after a broken axle, a train fell over the embankment below the Kraebel station. The train driver lost his life and nine people were injured. → Section H 1/2 4 accident and conversion in article ARB H 1/2 Initially, most passengers traveled by boat on Lake Zug. From 1882 the platforms of the ARB were parallel to those of the Gotthard Railway on the station forecourt.[1] However, when the latter took up more and more space for the Zug line in 1897, the ARB created the characteristic wrought-iron high platform running across the tracks. Now the majority of ARB passengers traveled via the train on. From 2011 to 2013, a new, two-track station facility was built in front of the high platform, and the listed platform was converted into an entrance hall. Originally, the introduction of a new station parallel to the SBB line was considered, but this had to be rejected because the SBB needed more space in this area due to the NRLA. On the 1st On 1 May 1907, the ARB became the world's first standard-gauge rack railway to be converted to electric traction. The valley station of the aerial cableway to Rigi Scheidegg (1568 m above sea level) is located in Kraebel. M.), which used to be reached by the narrow-gauge Rigi-Kaltbad-Scheidegg-Bahn (RSB), which was canceled in 1942. At 3. On June 1, 2000, the Arth-Rigi Railway celebrated its 125th anniversary with a steam festival.
