  FUNET Railway Photography Archive: Switzerland, YSC - Chemin de Fer Yverdon - Ste-Croix
YSC - Chemin de Fer Yverdon - Ste-Croix is a small private railroad in the French speaking part of Switzerland, between the towns of Yverdon-les-Bains and Ste-Croix.

The "Yverdon Krokodil", Ge 4/4 no 21 is built in the same style as the original "Crocodile" locomotives of the 1920s, but this narrow gauge small croc originates from 1950 and actually uses far more modern technology than its predecessors.

 Information about Yverdon Switzerland   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The town was founded in 1260 when Pierre of Savoy, who worked on the Château de Chillon, built a castle on what was then the lakefront to defend against attack from the east (the lake has since silted up so that the fortress is now the best part of a kilometre inland).
However, the presence of prehistoric standing stones, and also of Roman remains scattered throughout the area, indicates that the Savoyards were not the first to see the strategic importance of Yverdon’s location.
These days, though, Yverdon lies second in Vaud to Lausanne, and is a gentle place, with its solid castle, a pleasant and compact Old Town with many baroque and neoclassical facades, 5km of sandy beaches, and a marshland nature reserve stretching along the lakeshore northeast of town.
