May 2026 was marked by a strong focus on steam locomotives and heritage operations, particularly highlighted by the Swiss Steam Festival at Blonay-Chamby, featuring historic locomotives such as RhB Ge 4/4 81 and guest engine G 2/2 TICINO. Several images captured classic steam engines like SBB 1367 at Brugg AG, 241A65 at Luzern, and UEF 58 311 at Titisee, as well as international appearances including BEM 3673 in Nördlingen and ReKo Ochsenlok 41 1144 at Wolsztyn. Modern traffic centered around Swiss regional and intercity services, with multiple SBB RABe 511, 522, and 523 units operating in Geneva, Delle, Pratteln, and Schaffhausen, often in cross-border settings. The Lyria TGV and SNCF BB 22360 were repeatedly documented at Geneva due to construction-related disruptions. Vernier and Basel saw both passenger and freight activity, including SBB Am 843 084 and Akiem 37526, the latter noted for operating on a rainy morning. The TPC ASD ABe 4/8 units in Glacier 3000 livery were photographed near Vers-l'Eglise, emphasizing scenic regional operations. Other recurring themes included station reconstructions (e.g., Nijmegen), rare liveries (DB 294 710 in RaiLioN colors), and timetable changes in the Jura region affecting cross-border services.
