The railway adventure of the Bernese Oberland / The railway adventure of the Bernese Oberland - the MOB FZe 6/6 2002 - the star of this year's autumn event of the Blonay Chamby Railway and also a successful  hyphen  to the 125th anniversary of the MOB, especially since the powerful railcar will be used on the MOB line again after a long time. The baggage railcars FZe 6/6 2001 and 2002 (from 1962 DZe 6/6) were specially procured for the Golden Mountain Pullman Express introduced in 1931 by the MOB and the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL), but due to the rather unglorious economic situation, they only operated for one summer. Delivered in 1932, the railcars therefore never operated in front of the Golden Mountain Pullman Express, but they still spread their very special charm to this day and also present an elegant image on the Blonay Chamby Railway. The distinctive railcar is in Montreux and shunting its Riviera Belle Epoque train, which the railcar brought from Blonay to Montreux.

Hops and malt among the vineyards - Well, everyone can have their own opinion on that. In any case, I was looking forward to the shots of the (Murten-Seeland) beer train in Lausanne, which, despite vandalism, was able to complete its planned journey Murten - Yverdon - Lausanne - Murten as scheduled. The (telephoto) image taken on the platform of track 8 shows the beer train of the Beer Arena shortly before departure in Lausanne with the Pendelzug Mirage (VPM) BDe 4/4 201 at the front.

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.

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 (though 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.
