The love for Federer among his fans is immense, to say the least. Till now he was just called Federer Express due to his incredible gameplay, but now the man actually has a train to his name in Basel, his hometown. Nationale Suisse has just launched the “Federer Express.”

Moreover, for every kilometer that the train covers, the company will donate a certain amount to the Roger Federer Foundation. Federer has been honored in different parts of the world, however, this one is certainly different as not many people get a train named after them while they are still active in a particular sport.

To add to that, the western city of Biel can also name a street in the tennis hero’s honor. Without a doubt, Federer is counted as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Although he has been struggling with injuries for quite some time, it won’t be a surprise if the Swiss tennis star goes on to win a few more titles in the near future.
