In Valais, in a hidden side valley, already near the border with Italy, I found a new FLIRT, which goes by the name EVO. It will probably be one of the first trains of this series in scheduled service: in Orsières, the TMR Region Alpes RABe 533 601 is waiting as R82 26325 for departure to Sembrancher. The new TMR Region Alps RABe 533 701 with the coat of arms "Commune de St Léonard" and the matching name "La Souterraine" carries the UIC number RABe 94 85 0 533 701-4 CH-RA. January 24, 2026

In Sembrancher, the TMR Region Alpes RABe 533 601 coming from Orsières reaches its destination as R82. The new TMR Region Alps RABe 533 701 with the coat of arms "Commune de St Léonard" and the matching name "La Souterraine" carries the UIC number RABe 94 85 0 533 701-4 CH-RA.

At the St-Gingolph terminus, located on the border with France, the variety of rolling stock is rather limited. However, over time, a number of different types have accumulated; I wouldn't go all the way back to the C 5/6 series, but from the BDe 4/4 and NINA trains to the Domino series, there has been quite a bit to see here. Until last year, BLS RABe 528 MIKA trains were also used here once a day (on weekdays), but with the commissioning of the new EVO Flirt trains, this is now a thing of the past. Instead, these new EVO trains are now seen more frequently in St-Gingolph: The picture shows Region Alpes RABe 533 702 (RABe 94 85 0 533 702-2 CH RA), which arrived in St-Gingolph as R91 6118 from Brig (14:06) and will return to Brig as R91 6123 (departing at 14:51). In the meantime, the train is being cleaned, or rather, photographed by me.
