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

The very last steam locomotive delivered to the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) has taken over a special train—which arrived in Meiringen from Interlaken—to continue the journey toward Brünig Hasliberg, and is now departing Meiringen. The mountain locomotive, an HG 3/3 numbered 1068, was delivered by SLM in 1926 (serial number 3134) as the final unit in a series of 18 such locomotives (SBB group 94). At the time, the locomotive cost 110,000 Swiss francs. Four locomotives of the same design were also acquired by the BOB (Berner Oberland-Bahn). Today, the HG 3/3 1068 belongs to the BDB (Brünig Dampf Bahn, formerly the Ballenberg Dampfbahn). This attractive locomotive has also become well-known in Germany, following its excursion to the Brohltalbahn—home of the Vulkan-Express. Incidentally, the HG 3/3 1068 was not, in fact, the absolute last steam locomotive delivered to the SBB; in 1947, the SBB received the D 1/3 Limmat, a replica of the original D 1/3 No. 1 from 1847.

A scene from Büren an der Aare, featuring a term typical of the railway jargon of that era: Stücker. This was the name given to local freight trains that served stations once or twice a day—delivering freight wagons or collecting them—essentially handling the inbound and outbound movement of goods. At almost every station, less-than-carload (LCL) freight was also handled, which meant that at least one covered freight wagon had to be placed at the goods shed or retrieved from it. Naturally, with so much shunting involved, a Stücker train would spend a considerable amount of time on its journey. Pictured here on track 2 in Büren an der Aare is locomotive Ae 4/7 10966 with its Stücker train. An analog photograph from April 1985.

Since the MOB converted its passenger coaches to automatic couplers, the six GDe 4/4 units (numbered 6001–6006) have lost a large portion of their operational scope. Initially, two GDe 4/4 units remained in service hauling panoramic coaches—which had not yet been converted—between Zweisimmen and Lenk; this is illustrated by the accompanying image of MOB GDe 4/4 6003 with a train stabled at Zweisimmen.
