How good the MGB still has cars in which the windows can be opened! Otherwise I would not have been able to photograph the MGB Ge 4/4 81 with its car tunnel train upon arrival in Realp.

When there is little favorable light in Zurich HB early in the morning, the EC 10315 is deployed to Milano Centrale.

The ÖBB 1116 220 provides the “Transalpin” 19793 to Graz in Zurich. Although ÖBB locomotives are not uncommon in Zurich HB, they always come to Zurich with RJ sets. An ÖBB 1116 for SBB cars, however, is the exception. This is probably due to the fact that the train has the unusual route Zurich - Bregenz - Munich - Salzburg - Schwarzach St. Veit Bischofshofen - Leoben - Graz due to construction work. The EC Transalpin will run for 12 hours and 59 minutes.

Solo ride for ÖBB 1116 111 through Kaarst Broicherseite on 24 April 2026. Those wishing to approach this photo spot bycar are advised NOT to tresspas any local parking ban, since enforment of this ban is strict and may cost financially dearly. 
