The traditional Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald, and for this market, the Emmental Railway runs several steam trains on the Sumiswald Grünen - Wasen i.E. line. The photo shows the E 3/3 853 of the Dampfbahn Bern association entering Sumiswald Grünen. The steam locomotive was built in Winterthur in 1890 under the factory number 629 and delivered to the J-S (Jura Simplon Railway) as the F3 853. At the SBB, the E 3/3 series shunting locomotives with the running numbers 851 - 853 were assigned to Group 82 and given the numbers 8571 - 8576. In 1911, the E 3/3 853 locomotive received a new boiler and was sold to the RVT, where it remained in service until 1928, when it was used as an "industrial shunting locomotive" by Von Roll in Gerlafingen and Klus. When diesel locomotives made the steam locomotive obsolete, the Düby Foundation saved it from scrap by handing it over to the DBB (German Railways). After its overhaul in 1983, it entered service on the Sensetalbahn, among other routes. After another overhaul in 2021, the DBB E 3/3 853 was used primarily on the Emmentalbahn line from Sumiswald-Grünen to Wasen i.E. Today, the E 3/3 853 bears the UIC number 90 85 0008 573-7.

With an Emmental Railway steam train traveling to Wasen i. E., the E 3/3 853 (UIC 90 85 0008 573-3) reaches the Oberei stop; a stop on request. Although the line is no longer served by scheduled passenger trains, the station building remains in operation, serving as a bus stop, and the waiting room serves as a farm shop. And once a month—according to the posted timetable—a museum train of the Emmental Railway runs from Wasen to Huttwil and back. June 14, 2025 
