The FS Trenitalia IC 631 on the journey from Ventimiglia to Milan stopping at Finale Ligure train station.

Another transit of an SBB Giruno: the SBB RABe 501 009 Zürich is EC 10312 on the way from Milano to Zurich HB.

Shortly before Erstfeld, most trains heading south leave the route of the "old Gotthard" railway and travel through the Gotthard bass tunnel. Since this is currently only in very limited operation, most passenger trains and some freight trains, with a few exceptions, are rerouted via the "old Gotthard railway route", now also called the "Gotthard Panorama route". This means that high-quality passenger trains are safe when passing through Erstfeld Daily life again for a short time. For the vast majority of these services, SBB Giruno RABe 501s are in use, which run in double traction wherever possible. In the picture, the SBB RABe 501 027 "Schaffhausen" is in the lead and the 501 010 "Basel Land" as IC 10865 from Zurich HB to Lugano passing through Erstfeld.

How good the MGB still has cars in which the windows can be opened! Otherwise I would not have been able to photograph the MGB Ge 4/4 81 with its car tunnel train upon arrival in Realp.

In addition to the ICNs pictures (see ID 54934), I also photographed the RABe 501 "Giruno" trains, which have since dominated the Gotthard axis. While they may be dominant, they are not a common sight on the "Gotthard Panorama Route": Due to planned maintenance work in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, most IC/EC trains will run via Göschenen - Airolo from Monday to Friday from January 13 to January 24, 2025. After the sun disappeared behind the mountains in Airolo at midday, it appeared in Göschenen at the appropriate time from midday. The photo was taken near the entrance signal in Göschenen and shows the two SBB RABe 501 016 "Glarus" at the front and 501 008 "Monte Ceneri" at the rear as IC 21 10671 on the journey from Basel SBB to Lugano.
