"La DER du Blonay-Chamby 2023" - Some low pressure, foehn and yet weak sunshine combined with the smoke from the two B-C steam locomotives created an attractive atmosphere in the BW of Chaulin. The two B-C BFD HG 3/4 N° and LEB G 3/3 N° 5 will be supplied for the next mission. Oct 28, 2023 

"La DER du Blonay-Chamby 2023" - The Baye de Clarens Viaduct is being restored. The Blonay-Chamby railway offered a trip to visit the viaduct. It was not planned to get out, but given the small number of participants, it was possible under strict observation of the staff for safety reasons. Oct 28, 2023 

The BLS Re 465 002 leaves Spiez station with the GoldenPass Express 4064 from Montreux to Interlaken. Especially in Spiez, where north-south transit freight trains and DB ICE also run, the gauge change wagons reveal their fascination! I had the pleasure of traveling from Montreux to Spiez on the train shown here. The Gauge change process in Zweisimmen was surprisingly disappointing - you hardly noticed anything! That's precisely why I continue to be of the opinion that the ingenious technology should be used more in everyday traffic instead of just in purely tourist traffic, such as Bern - Lenk or Zurich - St. Moritz.

The Andermatt - Disentis trains are usually transported by HGe 4/4II locomotives over the Oberalp Pass, whereby the locomotive of the Disentis - Andermatt train then remains behind in Andermatt after the train has departed from Andermatt to Disentis and transports the next train to Disentis. Due to the extensive renovation of the small station, it was unfortunately hardly possible to photograph the train to Disentis, so the locomotive mentioned in the text is shown here, in this case the MGN HGe 4/4 II 106 "San Gottardo".

Shortly before Erstfeld, most trains heading south leave the route of the "old Gotthard" railway and travel through the Gotthard bass tunnel. Since this is currently only in very limited operation, most passenger trains and some freight trains, with a few exceptions, are rerouted via the "old Gotthard railway route", now also called the "Gotthard Panorama route". This means that high-quality passenger trains are safe when passing through Erstfeld Daily life again for a short time. For the vast majority of these services, SBB Giruno RABe 501s are in use, which run in double traction wherever possible. In the picture, the SBB RABe 501 027 "Schaffhausen" is in the lead and the 501 010 "Basel Land" as IC 10865 from Zurich HB to Lugano passing through Erstfeld. October 19, 2023 
