Four tracks, three routes, two power systems, and one train – between St-Jean and Genève, the SBB LEX RABe 522 228 is operating as RL5 23042 on the journey from Genève to La Plaine. The train runs on the track remaining after the construction of the line to Genève Aéroport, which is designed according to SNCF standards and thus electrified with AC 25,000 volts 50 hertz. To the right of it run the two tracks of the double track to and from Genève Aéroport, and on the far left in the picture is the track to Annemasse. These three tracks are electrified with SBB 16,000 volts 2/3 hertz. The second track from the right is also used by trains to Annemasse up to the St-Jean junction, which probably explains why right-hand traffic prevails on the line to Annemasse. June 1, 2026 

The SBB RABe 522 206 is traveling as Mobigo TER 18173 / RE 56 18173 from Meroux to Biel/Bienne. The Flirt has arrived in Delle, where it switches systems from "SNCF" to "SBB-CFF" and has a three-minute stop for this, just enough time to quickly take a few pictures. This image shows, besides the mentioned RABe 522 206, also the SNCF X73757 standing here in the background. Thus, diesel vehicles are also (again) used on the electrified Delle - Belfort line. The SNCF X 73757 "Baleine" arrived in Delle as MOBIGO TER 895005 from Belfort at 8:19 and will return to Belfort as MOBIGO TER 895004 at 14:41. November 3, 2025 
