The BAM MBC Re 4/4 II (UIC 91 85 4420 506-8 CH-MBC) arrives at Morges with its gravel train from Gland, where the train is loaded onto rollbocks for onward transport to Apples. In the background of the image, you can see the TRAVYS diesel locomotive 92 85 8846 601-3, about which I currently have no further information. April 16, 2026 

The SBB Re 4/4 11238 was still seen in Lausanne in the traditional green, but with an interesting visual enhancement on the front end of the locomotive. Analog photo from March 1994 

The SBB Re 4/4 II 11247 (Re 420 247-9) from SBB Cargo is on its way towards Biel/Bienne near Ligerz. Between Ligerz and Twann is the last single-track section of the Jura foot line, with a bypass tunnel already under construction, so this wonderful photo spot will disappear in the foreseeable future.
