Against the magnificent backdrop of the snow-covered Savoy Alps at Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-le-Fayet, SNCF unit Z 800 803/804 is being prepared for a TER service to Vallorcine. The three SNCF Z 800 units are identical in design to the two MC TMR BDeh 4/8 units; unfortunately, however, direct trains from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-le-Fayet to Martigny are no longer offered—though it is still possible to make a cross-platform transfer at Vallorcine.

After successfully completing my apprenticeship as an operations dispatcher with the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways), I was assigned to work as a relief staff member in Horw—on the Brünig line—during the summer of 1983. While there, I got into a dispute with a senior employee of the LSE (Luzern-Stans-Engelberg railway) regarding an operational issue. In the heat of the moment, I suggested to this employee of the private LSE line that the railway should be nationalized...

Well, in 2025, the Zentralbahn—which is owned by the SBB—is celebrating the very idea I once voiced with the recklessness of youth: 20 years of the Zentralbahn.

To mark the occasion, SBB/Zentralbahn locomotive HGe II 101 965-2 has been given a special anniversary livery, and the Zentralbahn has extended an invitation to two anniversary events in Meiringen and Stans.

Pictured here is the SBB/Zentralbahn 101 965-2 in Meiringen.

Although the Brünigbahn HG 3/3—which operates in Germany on the Brohltalbahn (BSEG) 'Vulkan-Express'—is rightfully very well-regarded, I personally consider the SBB Brünigbahn G 3/4 208 to be one of the most elegantly designed narrow-gauge steam locomotives ever operated by the SBB.
As part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations for the Zentralbahn (a subsidiary of the SBB), this beautiful locomotive from the Brünig-Dampfbahn (BDB) made an appearance in Meiringen.

The KWO MIB Ta 2/2 No. 3  TRUDI  is being shunted onto track 1 in Meiringen by the Brünigbahn Tm 106 002 for display purposes. It appears that the Ta 2/2 No. 3 is either unable or not permitted to move under its own power. This battery-powered railcar was put into service by Kraftwerke Oberhasli (KWO) in 1931 on the Meiringen–Innertkirchen line—a route that functioned as an industrial railway at the time and did not appear in the official timetable until 1946. The Ta 2/2 No. 3 was retired in 1977 and subsequently sold to the DEV in Bruchhausen-Vilsen in 1979, where it was designated T 46. In 2024, an agreement was reached to exchange the Ta 2/2 No. 3 for a  Tm 3  (the specific identity of which was not disclosed), allowing the Ta 2/2 No. 3 to return to Meiringen. The  Tm 3  in question is the MOB Tm 2/2 / V 212.

When you want to catch a train, you generally head to the station well in advance, happily accepting a few minutes of waiting time. Well, I also wanted to  catch  a train—or rather, photograph one: the SBB HGe 4/4. In my case, however, the wait didn't last just a few minutes; it spanned nearly four decades before I was finally able to photograph the  Muni !

Thanks to the  Brünig-Nostalgie-Bahn  (Brünig Nostalgia Railway) having restored the HGe 4/4 in 1992, I was finally able to take extensive photographs of this impressive locomotive during the 20th-anniversary celebrations of the Zentralbahn (a subsidiary of the SBB) in Meiringen.

After the HGe 4/4 arrived in Meiringen from Lucerne with its anniversary train in 1992, the train was shunted, providing several interesting photo opportunities.
