Noble over the Alps - a follow-up shot of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, which is just before the Pfaffensprung loop tunnel on the Gotthard railway on its way south.

What was barely visible in the previous picture now appears in full size: On the SNCF line Frasne - Les Verrières, an SBB RABe 561 NPZ is on its way to Neuchâtel as a TGV connecting train.

The magnificent Bernina Railway RhB Ge 4/4 81 is waiting in Blonay with its train for the return journey to Chaulin in a gentle, evening backlight.

In my opinion, a very special gem of the Blonay Chamby Railway is the Bernina Railway RhB Ge 4/4 81, which is shunting here in Blonay to prepare its train for the return journey to Chaulin.

In the expanse of the French Jura, a secondary road crosses the SNCF line Frasne - Pontarlier.

Due to the closure of the Gotthard Base Tunnel, all trains operated for several weeks via the old Gotthard railway lines, which are now called the Gotthard Panorama Route, resulting in a colorful range of operations. In the picture, a Re 460 with an IC heading north is passing through Göschenen. September 4, 2023 

Due to planned maintenance work, a large part of the Gotthard trains will be routed via the panoramic route during the low-traffic period in the second week of January. This includes this SBB RABe 501 "Giruno," which is in Airolo heading towards Bellinzona. January 21, 2025 

Solo ride for SBB Cargo 420 169 near Erstfeld on 15 September 2011.

SBB Battleship 11801 made some test rides at the station of Erstfeld on 6 June 2015.

The two C 5/6 locomotives 2978 and 2969 are on their way from Bellinzona to Bellinzona.

During the Gotthard Bahntage, RABe 1053 finis about to call at Erstfeld on 19 September 2021.

How times change: a few years ago, I would have turned up my nose and not photographed the ICN passing through Airolo.

In addition to the ICNs pictures (see ID 54934), I also photographed the RABe 501 Giruno trains, which have since dominated the Gotthard axis.
