The reason for the trip to Montreux on this very rainy day: the ZRT special train Frauenfeld Montreux / Aigle. Initially, I wanted to photograph the train on the "Train des Vigens" route, but the weather forecast, which I frequently consulted, advised me to implement Plan B. This was a good thing, as the light would have been barely sufficient in Lavaux, and a rainy landscape would hardly have made for an attractive picture. It was interesting to see which locomotive would be driving the train, as the ETCS train control system is installed on the last few kilometers (Chexbres - Villeneuve). The picture shows the train arriving in Montreux. As an alternative to the Montreux Christmas market, passengers could continue on to Aigle and spend a leisurely afternoon there. The train consisted of the SBB Re 4/4 II 11159, the "Le Salon Bleu" half-dining car ARmz 61 85 88-90 200-6 CH-IRSI, and the "Le Diamant Bar" dining car WRm 61 85 88-94 003-0 CH. IRSI.

The SBB Re 4/4 II 11263 (Re 420 263-6), which is equipped with a Scharfenberg type automatic coupling, is waiting in Lausanne with a freight train that also has automatic couplings for the onward journey to St-Triphon. Actually, the buffers would no longer be necessary with the automatic coupling (the wagons, for example, no longer have any), but the automatic coupling of the Re 420 can be turned away if necessary and the locomotive can run with the usual coupling.
