Rail Pictures, Railway Photos, Trains from Juli 2025

228 Photos
July 2025 was characterized by a strong focus on Swiss railways, particularly around the regions of Ligerz, Lausanne, and the Blonay-Chamby heritage line. Multiple sightings of SBB ICN units and Re 4/4 II locomotives near Ligerz and the prominent appearance of the RABDe 500 "ICN" trains alongside the RABe 501 "Giruno" on the Gotthard axis reflected ongoing service changes due to maintenance work in the Gotthard Base Tunnel. The Blonay-Chamby Railway featured several historic vehicles, including MOB FZe 6/6 2002, RhB AB 4/4 No. 35, and Hg 3/4 No. 3, with several steam arrivals at Chaulin station. Model railroading was also present, with the Lima N Gauge Re 4/4 I 10047 showcased. The "150 Years of Emmentalbahn" celebration in Burgdorf and Konolfingen brought attention to restored steam locomotives such as Lok-3 LANGNAU and DBB 853. Additionally, there was a notable presence of Hungarian and Central European motive power, including MAV 470 series, GySEV locomotives, and ZSSK 383s, often linked to historic or commemorative events. Weather conditions varied, with some photos capturing trains in strong backlight or rain, particularly in Sopron and Budapest. EU label: AI-generated content
60 years of the BoBo / Re 4/4 II – to mark the occasion, the Austrian Federal Railways (OeBB) organized an unprecedented Re 4/4 reunion. Among those  invited  were the Re 4/4 I, BLS Ae 4/4 and Re 4/4 (425), Re 450, and even the RhB narrow-gauge locomotive Ge 4/4 II 613. I only attended this magnificent celebration in passing and for a short time, so I can only share a few pictures here. Balsthal, September 14, 2024

Even in the final area of operation, the BLS Re 4/4 car tunnel train service, some trains are already operated by BLS Re 465.

Pictured here is the BLS Re 465 with a car tunnel train to Kandersteb leaving Goppenstein.

In Kandersteg, in addition to the BLS Re 465 004 seen in the background, the two BLS Re 4/4s 192 and 184 are also ironed up and are probably waiting for their next assignment; but the time of the beautiful BLS Re 4/4 really seems to be running out.

The beautiful Lima RBe 4/4 1435 railcar, which I finally acquired after many years, is really very nice, and I got a lot for my money, as the railcar seems to be somewhat lavishly constructed, probably 1:140 or so. Well, that's not really a criticism*, but rather a side topic... *otherwise, I could have bought the Piko RBe 4/4.

My U36B  Santa Fe  ATSF 353 runs quite well, but the running noise after fifteen years of inactivity made me think that it might not be impossible for the locomotive to break down on the track with a transmission failure. Then I'd have a suitable layout, but no locomotive. To prevent this from happening, New Haven (NH) ALCO RS1 0667 rushed to the rescue from the far north and is now supporting Santa Fe No. 353.

Something different: in addition to the recently acquired Lima N-gauge RBe 4/4 1435, I've owned an N-scale model of the U36B  Santa Fe  ATSF 353 diesel locomotive with three cars for many years. Reason enough to showcase the vehicles. The idea is to build a (divided) fairly small model railway for the existing vehicles instead of a diorama. Since technical clarifications regarding the overhead line for the  Swiss  section still need to be finalized, I began by interpreting a small station located somewhere between Canada and Mexico. For this, I can draw on a few old prototype photos from a trip to Florida. Of course, the design is a challenge in terms of space. At least I can show the first pictures. The palm tree is home-made, as is the loading ramp (still under construction). The vehicles are from Bachmann (made in China), and the tracks are from Lima, Roco, and Fleischmann (made in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Romania). April 14, 2025
