Yesterday, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) christened a locomotive with a QR code at Zurich's main train station.

SBB aims to raise awareness of the training program for train drivers, which will soon be available on a part-time basis.
Until Saturday, those interested can experience "the most exciting job prospect in the world" in a locomotive simulator at " Career Worlds Café " in the main train station.
