Always trying to think about something to write on Swiss Roots I thought about pictures my aunt sent me from Switzerland a year or so ago. The pictures were of her birthday party taken on an old Swiss train called The Red Arrow,of what I understand the original was built in 1935 and now stands in a museum in Luzern. The Double Arrow was built in 1939 for the Swiss National Exposition and Winston Churchill rode the train which also gave it the nickname "Churchill Pfeil". Blondie.
