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

Although the Brünigbahn HG 3/3—which operates in Germany on the Brohltalbahn (BSEG) 'Vulkan-Express'—is rightfully very well-regarded, I personally consider the SBB Brünigbahn G 3/4 208 to be one of the most elegantly designed narrow-gauge steam locomotives ever operated by the SBB. As part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations for the Zentralbahn (a subsidiary of the SBB), this beautiful locomotive from the Brünig-Dampfbahn (BDB) made an appearance in Meiringen. August 23, 2025

The KWO MIB Ta 2/2 No. 3 TRUDI is being shunted onto track 1 in Meiringen by the Brünigbahn Tm 106 002 for display purposes. It appears that the Ta 2/2 No. 3 is either unable or not permitted to move under its own power. This battery-powered railcar was put into service by Kraftwerke Oberhasli (KWO) in 1931 on the Meiringen–Innertkirchen line—a route that functioned as an industrial railway at the time and did not appear in the official timetable until 1946. The Ta 2/2 No. 3 was retired in 1977 and subsequently sold to the DEV in Bruchhausen-Vilsen in 1979, where it was designated T 46. In 2024, an agreement was reached to exchange the Ta 2/2 No. 3 for a Tm 3 (the specific identity of which was not disclosed), allowing the Ta 2/2 No. 3 to return to Meiringen. The Tm 3 in question is the MOB Tm 2/2 / V 212. 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 ! 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

On 22 January 2025 TRI 111 054 hauls the famous RB37 towards Neu8ss Hbf through a well-known photo spot at Kaarst-Broicherseite. In 2025 TRI nevber were shy of some practical jokes, like this one. When DB ordered their 227 electrics CLass 111 from 1974, most were delivered wqith turqouis-blue and ivory colours -apart from 111 111-188 that got grey with an orange waist band for the S-Bahn in the Ruhr Area. But they never wore the 1950s and 1960s blue of the fast train locos of DB. That didn't deterr TRI a slight bit when repainting their 111 0564 in this quasi-retro colour scheme. On 145 041 they did the same kind of joke, giving these locos the 1950s look of freight engines.
