Unique for sure, but not even close to being oddest.

Ever seen the Swiss steam loco, powered by overhead catenary?

Still boiled water to make steam...

[Charles T. McCullough]

That ain't "odd"... that's an abomination!

When there is a war on, and you cannot get coal feom Germany to run the railway and have plenty of power from hydro....and novway to quickly purchase or build additional motive power...

And have typical Swiss ingenuity, you think out of the box.
