The 399-meter-long Saane Viaduct near Gümmenen on the Bern - Neuchâtel line, located in a slightly hilly landscape just north of Laupen, is hardly to be overlooked due to its size, in stark contrast to the two BLS NINA RABe 525 trains that are currently crossing the now double-tracked viaduct.

BLS passenger train departs a BLS station – in itself, a perfectly ordinary occurrence – but this everyday occurrence was something one had to wait a full 110 years for! When the BLS/MLB line began operating in 1915, it was taken over by the SBB, initially – unusually for BLS – even with steam locomotives. The intended France-Italy traffic on the line gradually evolved, due to territorial changes in Alsace, into increasingly domestic traffic between Basel and the western Swiss Plateau. The reactivation of the Delle-Belfort line revived the historical concept of the service, but ridership fell far short of expectations. Therefore, since the timetable change, a half-hourly service has been offered on the Biel/Bienne-Basel SBB line, with BLS trains now supplementing the existing ICN trains and finally being used on the MLB BLS network. The image shows BLS RABe 528 132 operating as IR56 1858 from Basel SBB to Biel/Bienne, just leaving the BLS/MLB Grenchen Nord station. January 13, 2026

If one had to wait 110 years, or rather, I had to wait 63 years until a BLS train finally appeared at Grenchen Nord station, I'll venture to post another picture on this topic. I would have liked to have taken the pictures earlier, but I had to wait until the fog and workdays cleared and I had the opportunity to make a quick trip to Grenchen; with the certainty that I would definitely revisit this colorful subject later this year. The picture shows the BLS RABe 528 132 as IR56 1861 on its way from Biel/Bienne to Basel SBB, stopping and waiting for the oncoming train at Grenchen Nord. January 13, 2026

BLS 465 002 pushes a regional train to Spiez and Interlaken Ost out of Zweizimmen on 31 December 2025. The coaches are multi-gaugable, enabling the train -but not the loco- to ride on both 1,435mm standard gauge and the smaller 1,000mm gauge of the MOB.

With BLS Re 465 003 at the head, followed by an Re 475 and BLS Re 465 013 as a pusher locomotive (not visible here), a long freight train travels through Preglia up the southern ramp of the Simplon Pass towards Brig. A palm tree on the far right adds a touch of southern flair. October 31, 2024

BLS 485 015 hauls an almost empty intermodal truck shuttle through a rainy Spiez on 28 May 2019. Sadly, this will be a historic picture because Ralpin, who organises these piggyback trains, have announced their plans to end this Freiburg<=>Novara service due to raising costs. From 2026, the trailers will be transported without the trucks.
