# Motokazu Mori

**Motokazu "Taisanboku" Mori** (毛利 元一, *Mōri Motokazu*, July 24, 1890 – January 21, 1958) was a Japanese surgeon and tanka poet who practiced in Hawaii.

## Biography

Mori was born on July 24, 1890, in Nagasaki, Japan. He was the son of the physician and community leader Iga Mori. Mori was raised in Japan by his grandmother, and grew up to study medicine at the Kyushu Imperial University and the Mayo Clinic. He moved to Hawaii in 1920 to practice medicine with his father. He earned a PhD in 1936 from the Tokyo Imperial University. He was one of the founders of the Choon Shisha, a tanka club in Honolulu, and also had a regular column in the *Nippu Jiji*.

Mori married Misao Harada, daughter of Tasuku Harada, in 1921. They had four children. After she died in 1927, he remarried Ishiko Shibuya, a physician at the Kuakini Medical Center. They had two children together.

On December 5, 1941, a reporter from the *Yomiuri Shinbun* called Mori to interview him about life in Hawaii. Mori's answers seemed suspicious to FBI agents who were monitoring the call. After Pearl Harbor was attacked two days later, he and Ishiko were accused of espionage and arrested. Mori was transferred to the Sand Island Internment Camp on January 5, 1942. He was then sent to incarceration camps in Angel Island, Lordsburg, and Santa Fe. He was finally transferred to the Crystal City camp in Texas, where he was reunited with his family. He and Ishiko worked as doctors in the camp, and were overwhelmed by the number of patients. However, they found the time to create a poetry club with Tokiji Takei, and to publish the camp's poetry anthology, *Nagareboshi*.

Mori returned to Hawaii on December 10, 1945. He reopened his medical practice and restarted the Choonshisha with Takei, Otokichi Ozaki, and Kumaji Furuya.

Mori died on January 21, 1958.

title: Peace at Any Price

abstract:
Peace at Any Price: How the World Failed Kosovo is a 2006 book by Iain King and Whit Mason. It chronicles the history of Kosovo, focusing on the period from 1999 to 2005, when Kosovo was governed by and under the authority of the United Nations. The book explains this history with sections on Kosovo's security and the rule of law; inter-ethnic relations; political developments; hearts, minds and culture; and economy. It draws on Kai Eide's Report of 2005, which criticized the international community's performance in Kosovo, and was approved unanimously by the United Nations Security Council. The book has 226 citations in other published works, and features in university reading lists on politics, conflict studies and international relations. The book concludes that: “The international community was very successful where there was a strong and unified international will to tackle a straightforward physical task, such as the humanitarian crisis of 1999… Where the international protectorate almost completely failed was in changing the way people thought and behaved... After six years of unprecedented international support, Kosovo remained a place where the strong bullied the weak and where there remained an extraordinary lack of public spirit. This is less than Western democracies hoped for when they intervened to stop barbarities in 1999, and much less than most of the thousands of foreigners and Kosovans believed they were working towards between 1999 and 2005.” It attributes this poor performance to six mistakes made by the international community:
  - Failure to understand Kosovo's history and culture;
  - Deep reluctance to assert control over the means by which public attitudes were shaped;
  - Incoherence in the mandate for the international mission, UNSCR 1244;
  - Flaws in the way the international civilian organizations tasked with governing Kosovo were structured;
  - Failures of political will, which meant lingering problems, such inadequate enforcement of the law, were allowed to fester; and
  - Failures of time and patience, ‘a lack of political stamina… the classic misfit of short-term solutions to long-term problems.’; The book concludes with ten lessons for future interventions.

title: Hangursbanen

abstract: Hangursbanen was a cableway in Voss, Norway, 1,126 metres long with a top altitude of 660m above sea level. It was owned and run by Voss Resort AS, a local ski resort in Voss. The cableway starts about 500 metres from the train station at Voss, up to the Hangursrestaurant, which is in the same building as the cable car top station. The cable car operated during winter, the skiing season and in summer. There were two cable cars on the lines, the Dinglo (red) and the Danglo (blue), on opposite sides, but on the same cable. When one was at the top, the other one was at the bottom. The names come from the swaying from side to side which is "dingling" in Norwegian slang. Hangursbanen had a maximum speed of 8 m/s. The last journey was on 30 August 2015; the cableway was then disassembled. A new one was built in 2019.

title: Alan Fox (sociologist)

abstract: Alan Fox DFM was an English industrial sociologist, who revolutionised the separate discipline of industrial relations. Fox, who grew up in Manor Park, London, was the son of Walter Henry Fox and Rhoda Fox, née Rous. Walter Fox was a machine enameller by trade and a veteran of the First World War. Alan Fox failed his eleven plus examination and — like most British working class children of his generation — left school at the age of 14. He worked first as a laboratory assistant at a grammar school and then in a photographic film factory. When the Second World War broke out, Fox joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) and applied for aircrew training, but was rejected due to poor eyesight. He served initially as a ground staff photographer in India and Burma, with the rank of Corporal. He volunteered for service as an aerial photographer with No. 3 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit, which undertook hazardous missions over Japanese-held areas, using North American Mitchell aircraft. Fox, who was promoted to Sergeant, received the Distinguished Flying Medal (RAF). After the war, Fox worked for the Forestry Commission in Scotland. In 1947–48, he undertook a diploma in public administration at Ruskin College, an independent institution in Oxford. Fox then entered the University of Oxford, where he spent the majority of his academic career, studying economics and political science at Exeter College. In 1950, while lecturing at Ruskin, he completed a Bachelor of Letters (B.Litt.) thesis on the history of industrial relations in the Black Country. That same year, Fox married Margaret Dow, with whom he had two sons. In 1958, he became a research fellow at Nuffield College and in 1963, he became a lecturer at Nuffield, in the Department of Social and Administrative Studies. Fox rose to prominence with a 1966 paper, Industrial Sociology And Industrial Relations, written for the Donovan Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employers' Associations (1965–68). In it he described the dominance in industrial relations of two, rival ideological/theoretical perspectives. The first, for which Fox coined the name "unitary", denies that the interests of employers and employees were significantly different from each other. For the other perspective, he used an existing term from political science: "pluralist", a perspective which suggests that multiple parties are involved in decision-making. However, Fox himself was strongly influenced by a third major theoretical position: the "radical" perspective, especially Marxism. With Allan Flanders and Hugh Clegg, Fox became prominent in a group of scholars known collectively as the "Oxford school of industrial relations". Although the Oxford school was frequently associated with pluralism, during the 1970s Fox adopted an overtly radical position. In "Industrial relations: a social critique of pluralist ideology" (1973) and Beyond Contract (1974), he suggested that unitarism and pluralism, in practice, were often combined and/or difficult to distinguish.

# Peace at Last (The Blue Nile album)

***Peace at Last*** is the third studio album by Scottish band The Blue Nile, released on 10 June 1996 via Warner Bros. Records.

Some authors suggest the possibility of Pedro de Alcalá being a morisco himself, or descent of mudéjares, while others suspect he may be a Jewish converso. He authored the Arte para ligeramente saber lengua araviga, a grammar for understanding the Granadan Arabic dialect; and the Vocabulista aravigo en letra castellana, a dictionary of Granadan Arabic, the first ever Spanish-Arabic dictionary; both jointly published in Granada in 1505. Some scholars note that he had limited knowledge of the Arabic grammatical theory and used the Greco-Latin approach to his transcription system.

# Slipways (video game)

***Slipways*** is a video game developed by Beetlewing. It combines gameplay from puzzle games and grand strategy wargames, though it streamlines out war and other features that involve micromanagement.

## Gameplay

*Slipways* incorporates gameplay inspired by turn-based grand strategy wargames, though it lacks a mechanic for war. Players focus on resource management and graph optimization to grow their space empire. The galaxy is procedurally generated, and different alien races assist in each playable sector. Each alien race has their own priorities, such as performing research or establishing new colonies, and will reward players for accomplishing tasks related to their priorities.

As new worlds are discovered and colonized, they must be efficiently integrated into the empire's trade routes. Each planet can be colonized in different ways to give it different desired imports and exports. Labor not exported cause unemployment, and resources not imported cause resource shortages. Researching new technologies allow new colonization options, structures, and planet projects, and other methods to create and satisfy desires.

If the empire's populace become too unhappy or the player runs out of money, the game ends. In a standard game, players try for a high score by the final turn, or on weekly ranked runs can compete globally for high scores. Alternatively, a sandbox mode allows endless building, and a campaign mode offers more challenging puzzles.

## Development

*Slipways* was created by Jakub Wasilewski. He originally implemented a prototype of the game on the PICO-8, a virtual machine in the style of a game console, using a pay what you want model. The mainline version is implemented in Unity. Wasilewski wanted to streamline out the parts of strategy games that he found to be busy-work or excessive micromanagement. Instead of managing individual planets, Wasilewski focused on the logistics of an empire. War slowed these games down too much, so he completely removed it. He was also interested in an empire-building game that did not depict war as unavoidable. When Wasilewski polled the PICO-8 players, he found they did not consider war to be a priority feature, so he stuck to the original design when developing the commercial game. The game was released June 4, 2021.

## Reception

Reviewing a pre-release version of the game, Andy Kelly of *PC Gamer* wrote, "It's a wonderfully simple, streamlined strategy game, but still makes you feel like you're building something *grand*." Nic Reuben of *Rock Paper Shotgun* described *Slipways* as "a phenomenally smart piece of design" that pits players against their own poor impulses instead of AI-controlled players. *Rock Paper Shotgun* subsequently listed it among the best space games for the PC, best PC strategy games, and the best games released in 2021. Writing for *Wireframe Magazine*, Ian Dransfield called it "a focused, delightful puzzle game masquerading as space empire-based grand strategy."

It made its first appearance on June 15, 1995 in the self-titled independent comic book Marley Davidson, which chronicled the exploits of a Jamaican ex-priest, operating as an exorcist and monster hunter in New York City. Typical Marley Davidson stories involve classic renditions of undead monsters such as vampires and werewolves as the chief villains and often as agents in conspiratorial plots to undermine and prey upon the poor and the underclass.

# Marley Davidson

**Marley Davidson** (sometimes referred to as "Marley Davidson: Bronx Exorcist") is a fictional comic book character created by writer and comic book artist Sandy Jimenez. It made its first appearance on June 15, 1995 in the self-titled independent comic book *Marley Davidson*, which chronicled the exploits of a Jamaican ex-priest, operating as an exorcist and monster hunter in New York City.

Typical Marley Davidson stories involve classic renditions of undead monsters such as vampires and werewolves as the chief villains and often as agents in conspiratorial plots to undermine and prey upon the poor and the underclass.

Marley Davidson last appeared in the fourth issue of his titular comic book in 1999. A series reboot was advertised in issue #40 of *World War 3 Illustrated*, to resume the series in late 2010.

## Creation and development

According to end notes by the author on the inside back cover of the first issue, *Marley Davidson* is a spin off of *Vladek, Vampire Detective*. Though the latter was never published, Marley Davidson was launched by Vampyrotechnic Studios in 1995 out of Wallabout street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

## Premise

*Marley Davidson* chronicles the adventures of an exorcist and his team of monster hunters, beginning in a conjectured 1970s New York City where the supernatural is as big a threat to human life as violent crime. The earliest stories in issues 1 and 2 illustrate a hard-scrabble existence, with the protagonists in need of money and support for their war against the undead. Marley Davidson and his team appear to function as mercenaries seeking paying clients, in seeming opposition to the principles and ethics of their mentors, a Rabbi and a Muslim cleric.

Like Sandy Jimenez’s other long-running series, *Shit House Poet*, Marley Davidson moves in and out of time from story to story. Issues begin with a particular year stamped on the first page as opposed to an actual title, with subsequent issues taking place years later without editorial segue or explanation. While foremost an action-adventure series, the stories’ setting in the South Bronx introduces realities and social issues more common in crime stories.

## Visual style

*Marley Davidson*, an independent comic book, was executed with intentionally unsophisticated production means. It has thus far employed artwork that is rendered with only “ball point pens” and without the aid of computer scanning or computer image editing. It has been noted for its “cut out” style achieved by use of unique hand-drawn Xeroxed patterns trimmed to fit in as backdrop elements in the place of screentone or Zip-A-Tone to create different textures.

## In other media

After the production of an animated short in 2006, a full-length animated feature was announced as being in pre-production in February 2007.

**Ziegeleisee** is a lake in Berlin, Germany. At an elevation of 35 m, its surface area is 4.7 ha.

## History

During the Bronze Age - more than 3,000 years ago - clay was mined in the area of loam in order to produce pots and jars. Starting in 1840 the Kühnsche brickyard was extended by a clay and cement products factory. Following the bankruptcy of 1880, the factory building of 1883 was up until the 1960s as a day-and-garden "Seeschloß" used with dance hall and bowling alley. Today, no traces of the factory are found.

Another brickyard was built 1854th. It was modern and bigger and had a more effective ring oven which can have up to 12,000 burnt bricks daily. The brickyard was in operation until 1924. The 72 m high chimney was blown in 1932. A time to plant belonging building still stands in the Beneke Dorff Road 115, which is named after the former mill owners.

Famous buildings, which were built from the bricks of the local brickworks, are the Red City Hall and the City Hall Reinickendorfer.

By 1912, a lake was eventually created by the slow flow of groundwater. It was 30 to 40 m deep. Other witnessed the two flooded former clay pits (about 50 × 50 × 50 m and 150 m). They are located west, 500 meters away. Several surrounding street names also reminiscent of the clay mining.

## Geography

The lake is located in Lübars, a locality belonging to the Berliner borough of Reinickendorf.

The shape of the lake resembles a trapezoid (geometry) from the well Südsüdostufer 300 m long, which is followed by the east at a right angle, a 150 m long beach and under which a 200 m long beach faces parallel. In the north-north-east is a well 200 m long beach, the final oblique side of the "trapezoid".

In the southern part of the bank overgrown with reeds and trees, steep and inaccessible and can not be swum. In the northern part, the banks are flat and occupied by 1926 built pool Lübars (lido Lübars). There are lawn, kept sandy beach and a few artificially fixed portions. The managed pool has basic facilities to bars, beach chair rentals and various sports and play facilities and the designated naturist area. The lake is accessible only through the pool.

There is an inflow about 75 meters away and about 4 to 5 acre lake Hermsdorfer. This in turn flows through the Tegeler Fliess, which ultimately results in Lake Tegel.

# Riverbank Arena

The **Riverbank Arena** was a stadium in the Olympic Park, in Hackney Wick, London, United Kingdom, containing a water-based astroturf.

## History

The Riverbank Arena was built with two venues for field-hockey competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics with capacities of 15,000 and 5,000, respectively, and venues for the football 7-a-side and football 5-a-side competitions at the 2012 Summer Paralympics.

The budget for the stadium was 19 million. Plans were made to scale down the venue after the Olympics, converting it into a 5,000-seat arena and a training pitch in Eton Manor, a sport and leisure venue in Leyton, Waltham Forest. In January 2011, Leyton Orient F.C. expressed an interest in moving into the stadium after the games.

In May 2012, it opened with a test event, a men's and women's invitational hockey tournament.

Riverbank Arena was dismantled following the conclusion of the 2012 Games. The Eton Manor venue on the Olympic Park, now known as the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, hosted the 2015 EuroHockey Nations Championships. The facility reopened in June 2014 and is the current ground of Wapping Hockey Club.

title: Payroll giving

abstract: Payroll Giving, Workplace Giving or Give As You Earn (GAYE) is a scheme for UK taxpayers to donate money to UK Registered Charities. Introduced in 1987, Payroll Giving allows employees to make donations to the UK registered charity of their choice directly from their gross pay, with no tax deduction for the charity to claim back. Some companies have put in place a matching gift program to match or part match their employee donations via Payroll Giving.

# Payroll giving

**Payroll Giving**, **Workplace Giving** or **Give As You Earn** (**GAYE**) is a scheme for UK taxpayers to donate money to UK Registered Charities.

Introduced in 1987, Payroll Giving allows employees to make donations to the UK registered charity of their choice directly from their gross pay, with no tax deduction for the charity to claim back.

Some companies have put in place a matching gift program to match or part match their employee donations via Payroll Giving.

## Administration

Over 8,500 employers in the UK currently operate the Payroll Giving scheme, with approximately 2% of UK employees participating. Participating employers deduct agreed sums of money from their employees' pay before tax calculation and forward the funds to a payroll giving agency. The agency then distributes the donations to registered UK charities based on the employees' preferences, deducting an administration fee, which may vary between agencies. Some employers cover this fee on behalf of their employees.

Payroll giving is operated by several agencies which do the administration and processing to link the donations to the correct charities. Employers have to choose which agency to operate with and may not pay the charities directly.

Payroll Giving is promoted within workplaces by a number of Professional Fundraising Organizations or charities.

## Effects

### On donors

The UK has a progressive Income Tax system with a top rate in 2015 of 45%. For higher rate tax payers this is a simpler way to donate to charity tax effectively than Gift Aid, as Gift Aid assumes all donations are from Basic rate Taxpayers (20% rate).

It is nonetheless possible to achieve the same result using Gift Aid, regardless of which tax band the donor is in, because the Gift Aid scheme allows higher rate taxpayers to reclaim the difference between higher and basic rate taxes. For example, if a donor gives £80 via Gift Aid, this is equivalent to donating £100 via Payroll Giving. In both cases, the benefit to the charity is £100 (disregarding the Transitional Relief payable until April 2011). The cost to a basic rate taxpayer is £80 in both cases, as the £100 paid by Payroll Giving would otherwise have been taxed at 20%. The cost to a higher rate taxpayer is £60 for the Payroll Giving donation (£100 less 40%), and initially £80 for the Gift Aid donation, although the higher rate taxpayer can later reclaim the £20 difference through his/her tax return.

### On employers

As part of a broader corporate social responsibility policy, Payroll Giving offers employees the opportunity to support social causes while demonstrating the company's commitment to social responsibility. Employers with high participation rates can win Bronze, Silver and Gold awards from the Government. From 2012 the Government is also introducing a Platinum Quality Mark Award.

### On charities

Charities recognized by HMRC benefit from receiving tax-free donations through Payroll Giving, and in some cases matched by employees.

# Mark Rankine

**Simon Mark Rankine** (born 30 September 1969) is an English former footballer, who played over 700 games in English football in a 19-year career.

## Club career

### Early career

Rankine began his career as a schoolboy at Manchester United, but was not offered a YTS contract and was released. He subsequently joined his hometown club Doncaster Rovers and progressed through their youth system, being part of the team that reached the 1988 FA Youth Cup final.

### Doncaster Rovers

Rankine made his senior debut on 15 August 1987 in a 1–0 win over Grimsby Town in the Third Division. The club were relegated to the fourth tier that season, but Rankine had managed to become a regular member of the first-team squad. The following season, he was an ever-present, scoring 11 goals during the season. After two further seasons as a mainstay of the Doncaster midfield, he attracted interest from other clubs.

### Wolverhampton Wanderers

He was eventually sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers of the Second Division for £70,000 in January 1992. Rankine made his Wolves debut as a substitute on 1 February 1992 in a 1–0 win over Leicester City. Although not as much an automatic choice as at his previous club, Rankine still featured regularly, amassing 167 appearances in total (though scoring just once) for the club over a four-and-a-half-year stay.

### Preston North End

By the start of the 1996–97 season he was no longer part of manager Mark McGhee's plans and was sold to Preston North End for £100,000 in September 1996. Rankine went on to make more appearances for Preston than for any of his other clubs over a seven-year association. The club were newly promoted to the third tier at the time of his arrival, and he achieved a further promotion with them in the 1999–2000 season as champions. The following season saw him almost achieve Premier League football as he scored a late goal which helped them beat Birmingham City to reach the play-off final. After doing so he achieved legend status at North End and is nowadays looked upon by many Preston fans as a club hero. However, they lost 3–0 to Bolton Wanderers in that final.

### Sheffield United

After Craig Brown had replaced David Moyes as Preston manager for the 2002–03 season, Rankine found his place under threat and he finished the campaign on loan at Sheffield United. This move offered him a second chance at promotion as United reached the play-off final, but Rankine again missed out on top-flight football as they lost to his former club Wolverhampton Wanderers (inflicting a second successive 3–0 final defeat on him).

Despite this disappointment, Sheffield United retained Rankine's services, signing him permanently in July 2003. He remained at Bramall Lane for just one full season before his contract expired and he left for Tranmere Rovers.

### Tranmere Rovers

Rankine's first season with Tranmere saw him again reach the play-offs but they lost their semi-final tie on penalties to Hartlepool United. He had planned to retire at the end of the campaign but decided to sign a one-year extension in the close season. His second season was more of a struggle, and he opted to have his contract terminated by mutual consent and retire before the season's conclusion after finding it tough to play as regularly aged 36. Rankine scored once during his spell at Tranmere, in a 2–1 Football League Trophy win over Lincoln City on 18 October 2005.

## After football

In 2008 Rankine started working as a football agent.

## Personal life

He is the uncle of footballer Michael Rankine, Danny Rose, and Mitch Rose who also play football professionally in England.

title: Ziegelbrücke–Linthal railway

abstract: The Ziegelbrücke–Linthal railway, is a single-track standard-gauge line in the Swiss cantons of Glarus and St. Gallen, connecting Ziegelbrücke with Linthal. It was opened in two stages and by two railway companies. The line from Weesen via Näfels-Mollis to Glarus was opened on 15 February 1859 by the United Swiss Railways. It was opened with the Rüti–Rapperswil–Weesen line. The line from Glarus via Schwanden to Linthal was opened on 1 June 1879 by the Swiss Northeastern Railway. The Lake Zürich left-bank railway, which was built by the NOB, was extended from Ziegelbrücke to Näfels-Mollis station on 20 September 1875. This line took over much of the traffic between Weesen and Näfels-Mollis, making the old line unprofitable. Therefore, the line was closed by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) on 1 January 1931 and later dismantled. Weesen station was relocated on the occasion of the opening of the double-track line on 18 May 1969. There was a connection in Schwanden to the metre-gauge Sernftal tramway between 7 August 1905 and 31 May 1969. The line was electrified on 15 May 1933 at 15 kV AC 16⁲/3 Hz.

# Ziegelbrücke–Linthal railway

The **Ziegelbrücke–Linthal railway** (formerly the **Weesen–Linthal railway**, also called the **Glarnerlinie**lit.'Glarus line'), is a single-track standard-gauge line in the Swiss cantons of Glarus and St. Gallen, connecting Ziegelbrücke with Linthal.

It was opened in two stages and by two railway companies. The line from Weesen via Näfels-Mollis to Glarus was opened on 15 February 1859 by the United Swiss Railways (*Vereinigte Schweizerbahnen*, VSB). It was opened with the RütiRapperswil–Weesen line. The line from Glarus via Schwanden to Linthal was opened on 1 June 1879 by the Swiss Northeastern Railway (*Schweizerische Nordostbahn*, NOB).

The Lake Zürich left-bank railway, which was built by the NOB, was extended from Ziegelbrücke to Näfels-Mollis station on 20 September 1875. This line took over much of the traffic between Weesen and Näfels-Mollis, making the old line unprofitable. Therefore, the line was closed by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) on 1 January 1931 and later dismantled. Weesen station was relocated on the occasion of the opening of the double-track line on 18 May 1969.

There was a connection in Schwanden to the metre-gauge Sernftal tramway between 7 August 1905 and 31 May 1969.

The line was electrified on 15 May 1933 at 15 kV AC 162/3 Hz.

## Stations

Initially, all stations had at least one bay platform apart from the main platform (with only one turnout on one side). The only exception was Leuggelbach, which as a result has always been classified as a halt. The halt of Linthal Braunwaldbahn was opened at the timetable change on 23 May 1982, when the clock-face timetable was also introduced. This new halt is located immediately adjacent to the base station of the Braunwald Funicular, which simplified the transfer from the rail network to the funicular to Braunwald.

No crossing loops were planned in Ennenda, Mitlödi and Rüti, as they would have been difficult to install because of the bay platforms.

A rolling stock depot was established in Glarus with two locomotive sheds and a turntable. Glarus station was extensively renovated in 2016 and 2017 so that platform 2 is now accessible via an underpass and the locomotive sheds have been renovated. However, they are no longer used for storing trains and can only be used by non-electrically hauled rolling stock because of the lack of overhead lines. The former Glarus depot was replaced by the Ziegelbrücke depot.

The Nidfurn-Haslen and Rüti stations were reclassified as halts on 2 June 1984. Mitlödi station was similarly reclassified at the 1985 timetable change.

Except for the track infrastructure in Schwanden, all sets of points and additional track infrastructure between Glarus and Linthal was upgraded at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s. There is now only one track between Glarus and Linthal. The only remaining stations with crossing loops are Nieder- and Oberurnen, Glarus, Schwanden and Linthal. It is possible for trains to cross in Näfels-Mollis and Netstal and this can occur in case of disruption of normal services, but both stations only have one regular 55 cm-high platform each, so embarking and disembarking passengers would only be possible for one of the crossing trains. Currently (as of April 2018), the Netstal station has an old, non-standard platform on track 2 and this could be used during a disruption of operations, but it would require special provisions.

## Operations

The route is served by hourly services on line S25 of Zurich S-Bahn. It replaced the Glarner Sprinter in June 2014 and serves all stations (except Nieder- and Oberurnen) on this line as well as Siebnen-Wangen, Lachen, Pfäffikon SZ, Wädenswil and Zürich HB. This is the first time there have been hourly services to Zurich. Services on line S6 of the St. Gallen S-Bahn also run on the Ziegelbrücke–Schwanden route hourly, resulting in a combined half-hourly cycle. Some off-peak hour S6 services continue to Linthal.

## Extension plans

An extension of the route to the south to Biasca in the canton of Ticino, connecting to the Gotthard Railway towards Chiasso was considered around 1900. In 1963, the *Schweizerische Aktionskomitee pro Tödi-Greina-Bahn* (Swiss Action Committee for the Tödi-Greina Railway), which had representatives from several cantonal governments, commissioned a study to examine the feasibility of a TödiGreina railway. These plans were not pursued.
