Major reconstruction in 1972/3 after an enthusiasts' campaign persuaded
the ZSG not to withdraw Stadt Rapperswil as they had originally planned
The
affair led to the establishment of the "Aktion Pro-Raddampfer" Supporters'
association and the raising of 1 million francs by public subscription..
Further
refits took place in 1985/6 (with new boiler), 2005/6 and 2022
