Visit the CFF roundhouse

Have you ever noticed the curious architecture that stands in a semicircle under the cliff behind the station? It's an authentic CFF rotunda, a historic vestige of the hangars of the Belle-Epoque, which were once used to store and switch locomotives and carriages (in this case, wagons carrying passengers; "wagons" only carried goods).

On the first Saturday of every month between March and November, workers are on hand to take you on a journey through railway history. Occasionally, they bring out old locomotives to be greased, and you can take a seat with them.

Visits are free and unsupervised, so it's up to you to take responsibility (remember, you're in an industrial workplace).
If you're visiting the site, don't forget to announce yourself to the workers.

ATTENTION: Saturdays on March 1 and November 1 are not guaranteed. For more information, visit https://locomotives-historiques-lausanne.ch/nds/journees-travail
