Back home. BLS 208 stands in Domodossola on 20 May 2006. Eight of these powerful beasts were orderen by BLS in two batches by Italian loco builder Breda. Until the 1990s these electrics were in revenue earning service and two, 205 and 208 have escaped the cutter's torch.

BLS 485 015 hauls an almost empty intermodal truck shuttle through a rainy Spiez on 28 May 2019. Sadly, this will be a historic picture because Ralpin, who organises these piggyback trains, have announced their plans to end this Freiburg<=>Novara service due to raising costs. From 2026, the trailers will be transported without the trucks. 

A stroke of luck: on 1 January 2020 BLS advertiser 465 008 calls at Neuchatel with a train set, that advertises for Kambly, a well known brand of cookies (at least in Switzerland!). 

On 1 January 2019 BLS 465 009 still wears the original blue colour while sidelined at Spiez, but will receive the current apple green within a few moments. 
