Historic vehicles, objects from the former everyday life of the railway and changing documentary exhibitions.

In the historic vehicle depot of the former Säntis Railway in Wasserauen, historic vehicles from the extensive collection of the "Historic Appenzell Railways" Foundation are on display. Among them is the only narrow-gauge diesel-electric narrow-gauge railcar in Switzerland from 1929 in its original condition.
