When you want to catch a train, you generally head to the station well in advance, happily accepting a few minutes of waiting time.

The KWO MIB Ta 2/2 No.
After the long wait, I treated myself to one more shot of the SBB Brünig HGe 4/4 1992, which was being shunted in Meiringen as part of a special train excursion.



When you want to catch a train, you generally head to the station well in advance, happily accepting a few minutes of waiting time. Well, I also wanted to catch a train—or rather, photograph one: the SBB HGe 4/4. In my case, however, the wait didn't last just a few minutes; it spanned nearly four decades before I was finally able to photograph the Muni ! Thanks to the Brünig-Nostalgie-Bahn (Brünig Nostalgia Railway) having restored the HGe 4/4 in 1992, I was finally able to take extensive photographs of this impressive locomotive during the 20th-anniversary celebrations of the Zentralbahn (a subsidiary of the SBB) in Meiringen. After the HGe 4/4 arrived in Meiringen from Lucerne with its anniversary train in 1992, the train was shunted, providing several interesting photo opportunities. August 23, 2025

When you want to catch a train, you generally head to the station well in advance, happily accepting a few minutes of waiting time. Well, I also wanted to "catch" a train—or rather, photograph one: the SBB HGe 4/4. In my case, however, the wait didn't last just a few minutes; it spanned nearly four decades before I was finally able to photograph the "Muni"!

After successfully completing my apprenticeship as an operations dispatcher with the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways), I was assigned to work as a relief staff member in Horw—on the Brünig line—during the summer of 1983. While there, I got into a dispute with a senior employee of the LSE (Luzern-Stans-Engelberg railway) regarding an operational issue. In the heat of the moment, I suggested to this employee of the private LSE line that the railway should be nationalized... Well, in 2025, the Zentralbahn—which is owned by the SBB—is celebrating the very idea I once voiced with the recklessness of youth: 20 years of the Zentralbahn. To mark the occasion, SBB/Zentralbahn locomotive HGe II 101 965-2 has been given a special anniversary livery, and the Zentralbahn has extended an invitation to two anniversary events in Meiringen and Stans. Pictured here is the SBB/Zentralbahn 101 965-2 in Meiringen. August 23, 2025

After the SBB Brünig Bahn HGe 4/4 had dropped off its train in 1992, it moved to track 2, where it—along with other vehicles—could be admired by the public. August 23, 2025
