The Pininfarina-designed Wonder Train: The Goldenpass Express, Panoramic Train of the MOB Railway, Becomes Reality in Switzerland
In redesigning the train, Pininfarina has integrated some aspects that customers will appreciate. Despite the change in the position of the mechanicals, at the head of the train, imposed by the new safety standards, the Pininfarina proposal makes it possible to maintain a large window that provides travellers with a frontal view of great impact. The window features of the future trains also make it possible to avoid any reflection or reverberation on photos taken by passengers.
" explains Alfredo Palma , Pininfarina's Design Project Manager, "
For MOB in 1993, Pininfarina had already designed the Cristal Panoramic Express, one of the Swiss company's most successful trains.
