Narcissi! Once, in the early spring, they were as abundant in the Vaud Alps—above the Vaud Riviera—as snow is in winter. But times have changed; too many flowers were  picked,  damaging their roots in the process. And so, the CEV MVR ABeh 2/6 7502 now stands at Lally, beside a green summer meadow where only a few scattered narcissi remain.

Lally, at 1,231 meters above sea level, serves as the terminus for the CEV line—at least for the time being, until the risk of contracting the  Chinese bat flu  up at Les Pléiades has passed. Pictured is the MVR ABeh 2/6 7508, which, following an extended layover, will depart as regional train 1434 bound for Vevey. May 8, 2020

In Montreux, the MOB Ge 4/4 8002 has arrived with a regional train from Zweisimmen and is now turning around for the return trip. Ever since the three MOB Ge 4/4 8000-series locomotives began operating with the GoldenPass Express trains, seeing them in other service rotations has become quite rare.

Immediately after the center of Ligerz, near Schaffis  / Chavannes, the single-track line has expanded into a double-track section since June 2, 1957. While the church of Ligerz can once again be seen in the upper left of the image, an SBB ICN RABDe 500—a train type typical for this stretch of the line—is passing through as service IC5 1520, en route from Zurich HB to Lausanne.

After arriving in Les Ponts-de-Martel as a return working for a school train (R 22 316), the transN (formerly CMN) BDe 4/4 railcar No. 8 is temporarily parked beyond the level crossing, near the bicycle parking area, in anticipation of the imminent arrival of train R 22 318 from La Chaux-de-Fonds. Following a quick two-minute turnaround, the train that arrived from La Chaux-de-Fonds will depart back toward La Chaux-de-Fonds. Meanwhile, the BDe 4/4 railcar No. 6—visible here—will depart for La Chaux-de-Fonds about half an hour later as train R 22 321, leading to the well-known passing of trains R 22 321 and R 22 320 at La Sagne.

At Groisy-Threns-la Caille, an SNCF Z 31500 train resumes its journey toward Annecy following a brief stop. Of particular note is the overhead line mast in the foreground, which dates back to the development phase of the 25,000 V / 50 Hz electrification system (on a test section).

Originally, I had only intended to make a quick stop in Annecy, followed by a more thorough visit to La Roche-sur-Foron for photography; however, I then discovered that rail traffic on the line between La Roche-sur-Foron and Annecy is still largely controlled by semaphore signals. That was reason enough to change my plans and get off the train... At Groisy-Thorens-la-Gaille, an SNCF Y 8507 diesel locomotive—hauling a service train from La Roche-sur-Foron toward Annecy—arrives at the station, passing the semaphore departure signal for the opposite direction.
