At first glance, a mundane shot: a rear view of an SBB LEX RABe 522; the special feature: the SBB RABe 522 229 is operating as RL7 23535 on its way from Annemasse to Vernier and leaves the CEVA line at Jonction to reach Vernier via the connecting track. This connecting track was not used by passenger trains until the timetable change 2025/26 and is electrified with 25,000 volts 50 Hertz. It serves the (light) freight traffic from Genève La Praille to France (or local freight traffic). Unfortunately, I have not found a route number for this line. July 23, 2023 

Geneva with two arriving Léman Express RABe 522; the RABe 522 visible on the right side of the image operates under 25,000 volts/50 hertz and comes from La Plaine, the one visible in the background on the left comes from the direction of Annemasse and will continue to Coppet after a short stop.
