The Railpool 186 497 is waiting in Airolo for its train to be loaded with excavated material from the Gotthard road tunnel (2nd tube) in order to then take the train to Flüelen.

The MGB Orion ABeh 8/12 312 stopped in Göschenen a few meters too early, so that the driver's cab is unfortunately in the shade.

The Railpool 186 497 arrived in Airolo with an empty train intended to load excavated material from the Gotthard road tunnel (2nd tube). The wagons are already being loaded and the 186 497 is shunting so that it can then take over the loaded wagons.

EXIF: SONY ILCA-77M2, Date 2025:01:21 10:48:41, Exposure time: 1/800, Aperture: 50/10, ISO80, Focal length: 240/10

Unfortunately the MGB HGe 4/4 II 107 is still in Andermatt and is waiting for its next service.

Of course, I also photographed the RABe 501 Giruno , which has since become dominant on the Gotthard axis; No matter how dominant they may be, they are not an everyday occurrence on the Gotthard

Due to the closure of the Gotthard Base Tunnel, all trains operated for several weeks via the old Gotthard railway lines, which are now called the Gotthard Panorama Route, resulting in a colorful range of operations. In the picture, a Re 460 with an IC heading north is passing through Göschenen. September 4, 2023 
