Geneva, Switzerland Transit

Geneva is the first—and so far the only—city I’ve visited in Switzerland. I added it as a side trip during a railfan journey to France. I’m dedicating this section of my website to the late Ron Yee, a good friend who shared many of my interests. Ron loved trains, especially urban transit, and he was an outstanding photographer—much better than me. We also shared a love of cruising, Star Trek, and the New York Mets.

Ron and his wife Lily joined my wife and me on this side trip to this remarkable global city. Ron and I spent a lot of time riding and photographing the trams, ultimately covering the entire system together. It was a wonderful experience, and one I still treasure.

I miss Ron deeply, and this page is my tribute to him.
