In 1959, an Integra-Signum magnet mounted on a SBB-CFF-FFS RBe 540 EMU tore out a wooden sleeper on a level crossing near Gland, which led to the derailment of the entire train at 125 km/h.Euro-Signum uses Eurobalises instead of magnets - these transmit Integra-Signum data in the additional Packet 44 (the typical ETCS telegram is left empty).This migration required installation of a "Eurobalise Transmission Module" on rolling stock that uses the Swiss network.By 2017 Switzerland had almost completed installing ETCS Level 1 throughout the railway network,[2][3] however most trains continue to use Integra-Signum and ZUB (in the form of Euro-Signum and Euro-ZUB).From beginning 2018, new vehicles running on the Swiss network do not need the class B system SIGNUM and ZUB.
