Swiss Troles
A while ago, I posted a short history of the tram system here in Valparaiso. It was replaced in the 1950s by the Trolebus. Some of the troles have French language instructions in them. This would suggest that JCMoriaud's comments in the original posts about them coming from Geneva are correct. Not that I didn't believe it before, just that I'm a little sceptical of things unless I get real proof...

Eh, eh, eh... ;-)
Cheers from the Geneva border, JCMoriaud
Lydia-well they speak German in Switzerland as well so it's possible you just got one from Geneva with German signs...although Geneva is obviously the francophone part of the country.
jcm- :)
i'm swiss and i was living in chile for almost 2 yrs. on my trips to valpo i used to love the busses. they caught my attention because some of them had written "Rheinfall" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine_Falls) on them as destination.
see

so they must have been from Schaffhausen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaffhausen). maybe they used the same models in Schaffhausen and Geneva (or Lausanne?).
i was googleing and according to this
http://www.obus-es.de/Valparaiso_2003.htm
the busses are from Geneva, Zurich and Schaffhausen.
Roman-thanks for the comments and the great info!
