Since ancient times, the Magadino Plain has been a fertile landscape until a landslide devastated the area in 1515. With the construction of the railway to Locarno at the end of the 19th century, the swampy landscape was drained and the Ticino River was straightened. For this purpose, the Consorzio Correzione del Fiume Ticino received this small G 2/2 Bn2t locomotive. The locomotive was built by Arnold Jung in Jungenthal near Kirchen in 1889 under factory number 59. In 1941, the locomotive was taken out of service and on May 20, 2016, it was loaned by the Travani family to Martin Horath. Since September 3, 2016, the locomotive has been running again. The small locomotive offered cab rides for enthusiasts in Brienz. Even though the locomotive does not shine as beautifully as the SNCF 141 R 1244, I like it very much, as it was the very first time I was able to ride on a steam locomotive. Now I saw the small locomotive again in Chaulin, where it took over shunting duties during the steam festival and, as shown in this picture, is being supplied with water and wood in the Chaulin locomotive servicing area.

Blonay - Chamby - La Der 2026 - 60 après les CEV (marking the end of the season for the Blonay–Chamby Railway, 60 years after the closure of the CEV line). The SEG G 2x 2/2 105, hauling steam train 10539 from Blonay to Chamby, arrives at Chamby station. The train terminates here. Meanwhile, the connecting train to Chaulin is due to arrive shortly on track 32. On the right, on track 1, sits the MOB GoldenPass Belle Epoque trainset PE 30 2219, bound for Montreux.

Blonay - Chamby - La Der 2026 - 60 après les CEV (marking the end of the season for the Blonay–Chamby Railway, 60 years after the closure of the CEV line). Operating as the Biniou Express (BEX) under train number 30115, the Dm 2/2 railcar No. 3 arrives at Chamby station on track 31. While it is, in all likelihood, the shortest passenger train in the world, it still manages to accommodate a fair number of travelers—so many, in fact, that I couldn't manage to count them all while also taking photographs; I would estimate there were at least a dozen people on board.

125 years of the MOB—and the fulfillment of a long-held dream: a direct connection between Montreux and Interlaken! On the right in the image is the FZe 6/6 2002; ordered in 1931 and arriving in 1932—right in the midst of the Great Depression—it may have technically arrived too late, yet it perfectly embodies the MOB’s philosophy: to be different from the rest! 125 years of the MOB: I wish the MOB all the best, and may it once again demonstrate that seasoned, reliable service—a quality that has been sorely missed in recent years.
