This page is one of a series devoted to postcards and photographs of the Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le lac Léman (CGN) steamer Rhône. This page shows 2004 photographs of the Rhône. Other Rhône pages are listed below. There is a table of all CGN individual ship histories on the CGN Header Page.
 
Rhône was built in 1927, the last paddle steamer built for CGN. Her 2-cylinder compound engine has hydraulically-driven valves and an automatic lubrication system which requires enclosed cranks. She previously worked the daily Geneva-St Gingolph-Geneva service opposite Italie, (replaced by La Suisse) but now works one of the two-day rosters with Henry Dunant or, in the 2005 peak season, with Simplon. This requires overnight stops in either Ouchy and Geneva, running alternately Geneva-Ouchy-St Gingolph-Ouchy, then Ouchy-St Gingolph-Ouchy-Geneva. Proposals for 2006 indicate that she would run out of Ouchy on services to the Haut-Lac.
