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. 
