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. 
After the passenger cars have been pulled out of the station, locomotive 470 005 can also clear the track at the platform of Vienna's Westbahnhof. May 9,2026

Even today, Ee 3/3 locomotives can still be seen in operation, although the Ee 3/3 16408 (97 85 1930 408-0) of RUWA shown here is enjoying the weekend rest on this Saturday and is probably one of the very last Ee 3/3s still in service (another one was still in Sumiswald on this day).
