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.
