I have often mentioned that “my” popular MOB photo locations in the surrounding area are hardly suitable for the GoldenPass Express due to backlighting.

A MOB Ge 4/4 Series 8000, barely visible at the rear of the train, pushes its GoldenPass Express 4065 towards Montreux near Planchamp.

The Aem 940 017 is in diesel mode in Renens VD, so the pantograph is also lowered.

I have often mentioned that “my” popular MOB photo locations in the surrounding area are hardly suitable for the GoldenPass Express due to backlighting. Now I have found an exception: At Les Avants in midsummer, the first train can be seen perfectly in the light and in its entire, now normal length: the MOB Ge 4/4 8002 is with the Golden Pass Express GEX 4064 from Montreux to Interlaken East just before Les Avants. In Zweisimmen, a BLS Re 465 will replace the MOB Ge 4/4 8002. In the background the Valais and Savoyard Alps and, far below, Lac Léman.

While the MOB GoldenPass Express GPX 4068 leaves Montreux in the picture on the right, another one is ready on the left in the picture.

What luck! I was able to photograph the MOB Be 4/4 1006 ex "Bipperlisi" once again! The Be 4/4 1006 was subsequently parked on a siding in Vevey between the snow plough and one of the new four-axle low-sided cars. Aug 31, 2024 
