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.
