In Teufen, an AB-TB ABe 8/12 is on its way to St. Gallen (- Trogen). The use of these tram trains has caused the AB to lose much of its charm and comfort.

While the SBB Re 4/4 II 11288 (Re 420 288-3)  AVANTI TUTTA!  is waiting to depart in Martigny with its local freight train, a BLS RABe 528 MIKA from St-Gingolph arrives in Martigny. The BLS train was leased by the Alpes region because the increased frequencies could no longer be handled until the delivery of the new EVO multiple units.

The BLS AKIM RABe 528 113 is leaving Brig station as RE 1 to Bern. However, the background on the right side of the image is interesting, featuring a BLS Re 4/4, a Re 475, and a Re 465.

While the first SCB C4 181 - 186 (SBB Group 67) or Ed 2x 2/2 7681 - 7686 had a closed cab, the second series 187 - 196 was left open. However, since the locomotive often traveled tender-first, a closed rear wall had to be added soon after. This was omitted during the restoration of the locomotive, so it appears in its delivery condition, as shown in this picture. The SCB C 4 196 / SBB Ed 2x 2/2 7696 (UIC 90 85 00 07 696-7) is shunting at Sumiswald Grünen.

At the end of the trip to Singen, there was something (nowadays) quite special - the DB 218 429-9: The DB 218 429-9 with its RE 3 3057 from Basel Bad Bf to Friedrichshafen-Hafen during the stop in Singen (Htw). Usually, DB 245 are used on this route, so the beautiful DB 218 offers a pleasant change, especially since the elegant locomotive, which used to be seen everywhere, is now quite rare to encounter.

The regional service on the Rennes - St-Malo line is strongly dominated by the SNCF Z 55500 / Regio 2N. Thus, the SNCF Z 55736 as TER BreizhGo to Rennes is waiting for departure in Saint-Malo.

Only for a few years has it been possible to travel electrically from Rennes to St Malo, and the SNCF BB 67000 locomotives that were used here for a long time have, of course, disappeared. A major advantage of electric traffic: now TGV trains can be operated directly to and from Paris. In St Malo, the SNCF Z 55736 TER BreizhGo to Rennes and a TGV Rame 323 to Paris are waiting for departure.

Four tracks, three routes, two power systems, and one train – between St-Jean and Genève, the SBB LEX RABe 522 228 is operating as RL5 23042 on the journey from Genève to La Plaine.  
The train runs on the track remaining after the construction of the line to Genève Aéroport, which is designed according to SNCF standards and thus electrified with AC 25,000 volts 50 hertz. To the right of it run the two tracks of the double track to and from Genève Aéroport, and on the far left in the picture is the track to Annemasse. These three tracks are electrified with SBB 16,000 volts 2/3 hertz. The second track from the right is also used by trains to Annemasse up to the St-Jean junction, which probably explains why right-hand traffic prevails on the line to Annemasse.

On the boat trip from Vevey to Lausanne, you are presented with magnificent views of Lavaux; probably one of the most beautiful spots is the town of St Saphorin, on the lake, right in the middle of the vineyards. In addition, this picture features a regional train of the RER Vaud, consisting of two SBB RABe 523 (Flirt) units.

As part of the season finale  DER 2023,  the Blonay Chamby Railway offered rides to the Baye de Clarens Viaduct to inspect the progress of the extensive renovation of the structure. Fortunately, I was allowed to leave the train under supervision and take a few photos.

Due to a sealing ring defect, the Bregenzerwald steam locomotive U25 has become inoperable. However, the museum railway does not cancel the morning train to Schwarzenberg, but instead puts the 2029.13 into operation; the afternoon trains are also secured, as a steam locomotive is being fired up in the depot.
