Clear the way for "Calanda Mountain"

Christoph Ruckstuhl

The job of train driver has become significantly less attractive. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) alone will be short of around a thousand new train drivers in the coming years. Nevertheless, there are always young people who find their dream job in the driver's cab. One of them is Fabio Peng, arguably Switzerland's best-known train driver – at least on Twitter. There, he regularly posts photos under the handle "Calanda Mountain."
