"Foreign" signals and overhead lines quickly give it
(ID 58936)
The MOB Ge 4/4 8002 is on its way with the GoldenPass Express from Montreux to Interlaken (with a gauge change in Zweisimmen) and is just reaching Chernex.
Major action day at SNCF: This holiday weekend, numerous passengers want to travel to the Alps for their winter sports holidays or are already heading back home.



Foreign signals and overhead lines quickly give it away, this SBB LEX RABe 522 was not photographed in Switzerland. The SBB LEX RABe 522 223 will leave Annemasse under 25000 volts/50 Hz as RL4 23227 to Coppet, but after just a few hundred meters the power system switches to SBB 15000 volts 16 2/3 Hertz.

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

The SBB LEX RABe 522 212 has arrived at its destination Vernier as Léman Express RL7 from Annemasse and is now being taken out of service. Unfortunately, only very few trains operate on this route. June 1, 2026
