A Robel BAMOWAG maintenance vehicle waits for a semaphore signal in Berlin Neuköln.

In July 2016 I found this photo location north of Faido, a little above the Broscerina Tunnel with a view of the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, which bridges the Ticino River here.

A SOB TRAVERSO RABe 526 drives as "Treno Gottardo" over the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, and will immediately drive into the 1567 meter long Prato Tunnel, which is designed as a 360 ° circular tunnel and thus gains a height difference of a good 40 meters.

A SOB TRAVERSO RABe 526 drives as Treno Gottardo over the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, on the way to Locarno Sept.

When one of the most beautiful sections of the Genova - Ventimiglia route near Cervia was replaced by a tunnel variant a few years ago, numerous photographers arrived in advance.

How times change: a few years ago, I would have turned up my nose and not photographed the ICN passing through Airolo. Today, I'm happy to be able to photograph an ICN among all the "Giruno" trains: an SBB RABDe 500 passes by as an IC on its way north. January 21, 2025 

In addition to the ICNs pictures (see ID 54934), I also photographed the RABe 501 "Giruno" trains, which have since dominated the Gotthard axis. While they may be dominant, they are not a common sight on the "Gotthard Panorama Route": Due to planned maintenance work in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, most IC/EC trains will run via Göschenen - Airolo from Monday to Friday from January 13 to January 24, 2025. After the sun disappeared behind the mountains in Airolo at midday, it appeared in Göschenen at the appropriate time from midday. The photo was taken near the entrance signal in Göschenen and shows the two SBB RABe 501 016 "Glarus" at the front and 501 008 "Monte Ceneri" at the rear as IC 21 10671 on the journey from Basel SBB to Lugano.
