A Capricorn railcar, featuring the distinctive design of Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ), is currently operating on the RhB network. For several months, a VBZ tram in RhB livery also ran through Zurich. The reason for this initiative was the 2026 Sechseläuten festival in Zurich, at which the Swiss canton of Graubünden was the guest canton. The two public transport companies thus demonstrated their solidarity by each deploying a special vehicle featuring the other company’s livery. In this way, Zurich’s urban lifestyle was brought to the mountains of the Swiss canton of Graubünden, whilst at the same time a piece of Graubünden travelled through the city on the Limmat.

The Capricorn railcar, wrapped in the VBZ design, really stands out along the RhB tracks. The familiar blue and white of the VBZ adds a splash of colour to the mountainous landscape of the Swiss canton of Graubünden. This contrast is particularly striking on viaducts or in open valley sections.

The specially wrapped Cobra tram, sporting the RhB livery, brought a touch of the Swiss canton of Graubünden to Zurich. Travelling in the striking red of the Rhaetian Railway, it added a surprising splash of colour to the cityscape and highlighted the bond between the city on the Limmat and the mountains of Graubünden.
