With a steam train of the "Emmentalbahn," the E 3/3 853 (UIC 90 85 0008 573-3) leaves the station of Sumiswald-Grünen heading towards Wasen in the Emmental. In the background, the ABe 4/4 No. 12 with the Bodan salon car and the VH-MThB BDt can be seen, which arrived in Sumiswald just over half an hour ago. Additionally, the OeBB steam train from Balsthal will soon arrive in Sumiswald. In short: today the Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald. June 14, 2025 

The traditional Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald, and for this market, the "Emmental Railway" operates several steam trains on the Sumiswald Grünen - Wasen i.E. route. The picture shows the E 3/3 853 of the Dampf Bahn Bern association entering Sumiswald Grünen. The steam locomotive was built in 1890 in Winterthur under factory number 629 and delivered as F3 853 to the J-S (Jura Simplon Railway). At the SBB, the shunting locomotives of series E 3/3 with operating numbers 851 - 853 were assigned to group 82 and received the numbers 8571 - 8576. In 1911, locomotive E 3/3 853 received a new boiler and was sold to the RVT, where it remained in service until 1928, after which it was used as an "industrial shunting locomotive" at Von Roll in Gerlafingen and Klus. When diesel locomotives made the steam locomotive obsolete, it was saved from scrapping by the Düby Foundation by being handed over to the DBB. After an overhaul in 1983, it was put into operation, among other places, on the Sensetal Railway. Following another overhaul in 2021, the DBB E 3/3 853 is mainly used on the Emmental Railway route Sumiswald Grünen - Wasen i.E. Today, the E 3/3 853 carries the UIC number 90 85 0008 573-7.

The traditional Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald, and the Emmental Railway (Emmentalbahn) runs several steam trains on the Sumiswald Grünen - Wasen i.E. line for this event. The picture shows the E 3/3 853 of the Bern Steam Railway Association traveling from Sumiswald to Wasen near the Oberei stop. This steam locomotive was built in Winterthur in 1890 under factory number 629 and delivered to the Jura-Simplon Railway (J-S) as F3 853. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) assigned the E 3/3 series shunting locomotives, numbered 851-853, to Group 82 and renumbered 8571-8576. In 1911, locomotive E 3/3 853 received a new boiler and was sold to the RVT (Regional Transport Company) 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 steam locomotives obsolete, the Düby Foundation saved this one from being scrapped by transferring it to the DBB (Deutsche Bahn-Gesellschaft). After an overhaul in 1983, it entered service on the Sensetalbahn, among other lines. Following another overhaul in 2021, the DBB E 3/3 853 is primarily used on the Emmentalbahn line between Sumiswald-Grünen and Wasen i.E. Today, the E 3/3 853 bears the UIC number 90 85 0008 573-7.
