Die Galerie zeigt eine Auswahl an Fotografien der Montreux-Berner Oberland-Bahn (MOB), einem privaten Eisenbahnunternehmen in der Schweiz. Dargestellt werden verschiedene Züge und Triebfahrzeuge, darunter der Golden Panoramic Express, der Golden Pass Classic mit Pullman-Wagen im Stil der Belle Epoque sowie der Chocolate Train. Zu sehen sind Aufnahmen an unterschiedlichen Standorten entlang der Strecke, wie Montreux, Les Avants, Zweisimmen, Gstaad, Château d'Oex, Blonay, Montbovon, Châtelard (VD), Saanen, Lenk im Simmental und St-Légier Gare. Die Motive umfassen zahlreiche Lokomotiven und Triebwagen der Typen GDe 4/4, Ge 4/4, ABDe 8/8, ABt, Be 4/4, De 4/4, Tm 4 sowie GTW 2/6. Abgebildet sind sowohl Panorama- als auch Regionalzüge, teils im Einsatz während besonderer Ereignisse wie der Ballonwoche in Château d'Oex. Die Fotos dokumentieren verschiedene Zugkompositionen, Bahnhofsszenen, Zugbegegnungen und landschaftliche Streckenabschnitte der MOB. EU label: AI-generated content

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.

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.

A look inside the MOB workshops in Chernex: visible here (though somewhat obscured) is the MOB GDe 4/4 6005, which has now been equipped with an automatic coupler; on the right side of the image is the new ZAGRO E-MAXI (battery-powered), which assists with shunting operations in the MOB workshop area in Chernex.

125 Years of the MOB – The MOB railcar: the ABDe 8/8! Naturally, it had to be part of the anniversary celebrations. There is an unconfirmed rumor that this railcar will be fully restored for the 150th-anniversary celebrations. At present, the ABDe 8/8 4001  SUISSE —which has been stabled in Lenk for some time—is still in working order, but it is no longer permitted to carry passengers.
Upon closer inspection (although not visible in the photo), this beautiful railcar is in need of a major overhaul at the Chernex workshops; however, there are still a few years left until the MOB’s 150th anniversary...

125 years of the MOB—and the fulfillment of a long-held dream: a direct connection between Montreux and Interlaken! On the right in the image is the FZe 6/6 2002; ordered in 1931 and arriving in 1932—right in the midst of the Great Depression—it may have technically arrived too late, yet it perfectly embodies the MOB’s philosophy: to be different from the rest!
125 years of the MOB: I wish the MOB all the best, and may it once again demonstrate that seasoned, reliable service—a quality that has been sorely missed in recent years.

125 years of the MOB – to mark the occasion, the MOB’s Ge 4/4 8002 locomotive has been given a special livery (or rather, a vinyl wrap). While I personally like it, it does raise the question of whether a modern railway shouldn’t have opted for a somewhat more innovative promotional design.
The Ge 4/4 8002 has arrived in Zweisimmen with its  GPX  Montreux–Interlaken service and is now being shunted onto a siding, as the train will be taken over by a BLS Re 465 locomotive for the remainder of the journey.
