SNCF C 20155 (UIC No. 97 85 1 932-0)—formerly SBB Ee 3/3 II 16515 and originally SNCF C 20155—owned by the  Team C-20155  association, is seen departing Balsthal, heading toward Klus. The three-light headlamp configuration indicates that this is a scheduled train movement. Designed as a shunter, the dual-system Ee 3/3 II was acquired by the SNCF—in a batch of nine units—to haul freight trains between Saint-Louis and Muttenz. This decision was prompted by complaints from local residents following the electrification of the SNCF line between Mulhouse and Basel. It is quite remarkable, considering that around 1960, Basel was still a stronghold for steam traction in Switzerland! Incidentally, years later, similar complaints prevented CC 72000 diesel locomotives from hauling long-distance trains (such as those on the Paris Est–Basel route) all the way to their destination; in most cases, the locomotives had to be changed in Belfort or Mulhouse. But back to the SNCF C 20155 (UIC No. 97 85 1 932-0)—formerly SBB Ee 3/3 II 16515—belonging to the  Team C-20155  association. The fact that this rare, one-off class of SNCF locomotive—which spent over a decade with the SNCF, followed by forty years in shunting service with the SBB, and was later saved from the scrapyard and restored to its original SNCF appearance—might seem surprising, and the decision was not entirely without controversy. Personally, however, I think it is an excellent outcome; it really allows this beautiful locomotive to stand out. Moreover, while the locomotive may have been used by the SNCF for mainline service—and in cross-border operations spent roughly half its time under the SNCF and half under the SBB—if one considers the actual territorial border, the SNCF C 20150 units traveled only three kilometers within France out of the total 15-kilometer stretch between Saint-Louis and Muttenz.

Near Ligerz, on the last single-track section of the Jura Foot Line, SBB Re 4/4 11346 (Re 420 346-9) is heading toward Neuchâtel.
Both the locomotive and this stretch of line are likely to become a thing of the past in the foreseeable future—reason enough to capture as many impressions as possible here at the uniquely positioned kilometer marker 94.4.

The SEG G 2x 2/2 105, hauling steam train 10539 from Blonay to Chamby, arrives at Chamby station. The train terminates here. Meanwhile, the connecting train to Chaulin is due to arrive shortly on track 32. On the right, on track 1, sits the MOB GoldenPass Belle Epoque trainset PE 30 2219, bound for Montreux.

Blonay - Chamby - La Der 2026 - 60 après les CEV (marking the end of the season for the Blonay–Chamby Railway, 60 years after the closure of the CEV line).

Operating as the  Biniou Express  (BEX) under train number 30115, the Dm 2/2 railcar No. 3 arrives at Chamby station on track 31. While it is, in all likelihood, the shortest passenger train in the world, it still manages to accommodate a fair number of travelers—so many, in fact, that I couldn't manage to count them all while also taking photographs; I would estimate there were at least a dozen people on board.
