February 2026 is characterized by a strong focus on classic and transitional motive power in northern Germany, with multiple images documenting the final months of DB Class 218 diesel operations on the Westerland (Sylt) route and the associated loco swaps at Itzehoe. The presence of Class 245 and 218 locomotives in Niebüll, alongside the upcoming introduction of Class 248.5 electro-diesels, highlights the changing traction landscape. Dutch Rail Force One Vectrons, notably 193 627, appear repeatedly, emphasizing their international leasing activity and operation for RegioJet in the Czech Republic. Several photos revisit former NS EMUs and TRAXX Class 186 in the Netherlands, reflecting on their withdrawal and preservation. Weather conditions range from frosty or snowy scenes in Hamburg-Harburg and Osnabrück to low winter sunlight in various Dutch locations. The expansion of SBB RABe 512 and 522 units into Annemasse, France, marks cross-border service developments. Danish and Swedish locations like Kolding, Odense, and Malmö also feature, with a mix of freight and passenger traffic, including battery and regional trains. The month's motifs are shaped by transitions in rolling stock, international locomotive leasing, and the continued modernization of signaling and infrastructure.

In the 2025/26 winter season, a direct train will once again run from Geneva to Le Châble (-Verbier). This year, instead of the operationally complex splitting of an IR90 train in recent years, an RE33 will run through from Martigny. It should be clarified that of the two trainsets arriving in Martigny, one will continue to Le Châble (Verbier), while the "main train" will reverse direction as RE 33, as scheduled. The image shows the SBB RABe 511 110 as RE 33 18463 / RE 3562 from Geneva to Le Châble shortly before entering Sembrancher station, where the train will pass through as scheduled.

The traditional Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald, and the Emmental Railway (Emmentalbahn) runs several steam trains on the Sumiswald Grünen - Wasen i.E. line for this event. The picture shows the E 3/3 853 of the Bern Steam Railway Association traveling from Sumiswald to Wasen near the Oberei stop.
This steam locomotive was built in Winterthur in 1890 under factory number 629 and delivered to the Jura-Simplon Railway (J-S) as F3 853. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) assigned the E 3/3 series shunting locomotives, numbered 851-853, to Group 82 and renumbered 8571-8576. In 1911, locomotive E 3/3 853 received a new boiler and was sold to the RVT (Regional Transport Company) where it remained in service until 1928, when it was used as an industrial shunting locomotive by Von Roll in Gerlafingen and Klus. When diesel locomotives made steam locomotives obsolete, the Düby Foundation saved this one from being scrapped by transferring it to the DBB (Deutsche Bahn-Gesellschaft). After an overhaul in 1983, it entered service on the Sensetalbahn, among other lines. Following another overhaul in 2021, the DBB E 3/3 853 is primarily used on the Emmentalbahn line between Sumiswald-Grünen and Wasen i.E. Today, the E 3/3 853 bears the UIC number 90 85 0008 573-7.
