In Lausanne, the S 40 24633, consisting of two SBB Domino trains, waits for departure to Palézieux. It's easy to see that the leading Domino consists of the former Travys ABt NPZ DO 50 85 39-43 984-6 CH-SBB, B NPZ DO 50 85 29-43 384-1 CH-SBB, and RBDe 560 DO 94 85 7 384-0 SBB-CH. Due to construction work, the train shuttled back and forth between Palézieux and Lausanne, turning around on track 3 each time. This gave me the opportunity to photograph the train in the "right" light during the coffee break this morning.

The SEG G 2x 2/2 105 of the Blonay Chamby Railway is en route with its steam train from Blonay to Chamby, crossing the newly renovated Baye de Clarens viaduct. The western section of the viaduct has been rebuilt and will be able to absorb the constant mountain pressure (or the movement of the slope) towards the Baye de Clarens Gorge without deforming the bridge.

The SEG G 2x 2/2 105 of the Blonay Chamby Railway is near Chantemerle on its way to Blonay. The new tracks on this section are clearly visible. During the renovation of the Baye de Clarens Viaduct, a layer of gravel was laid in the track area to allow road vehicles to access the construction site. This didn't look very attractive (at least for my taste), and I largely avoided taking pictures in this section.

The BFD HG 3/4 No. 3 of the Blonay Chamby Railway is near Chaulin on its way to Chamby, but is having some trouble on the damp tracks on the incline at km 8.2. However, thanks to the driver's sensitive instinct, the train doesn't break down.

The reason for the trip to Montreux on this very rainy day: the ZRT special train Frauenfeld Montreux / Aigle. Initially, I wanted to photograph the train on the "Train des Vigens" route, but the weather forecast, which I frequently consulted, advised me to implement Plan B. This was a good thing, as the light would have been barely sufficient in Lavaux, and a rainy landscape would hardly have made for an attractive picture. It was interesting to see which locomotive would be driving the train, as the ETCS train control system is installed on the last few kilometers (Chexbres - Villeneuve). The picture shows the train arriving in Montreux. As an alternative to the Montreux Christmas market, passengers could continue on to Aigle and spend a leisurely afternoon there. The train consisted of the SBB Re 4/4 II 11159, the "Le Salon Bleu" half-dining car ARmz 61 85 88-90 200-6 CH-IRSI, and the "Le Diamant Bar" dining car WRm 61 85 88-94 003-0 CH. IRSI.

With an Emmental Railway steam train traveling to Wasen i. E., the E 3/3 853 (UIC 90 85 0008 573-3) reaches the Oberei stop; a stop on request. Although the line is no longer served by scheduled passenger trains, the station building remains in operation, serving as a bus stop, and the waiting room serves as a farm shop. And once a month—according to the posted timetable—a museum train of the Emmental Railway runs from Wasen to Huttwil and back.

The traditional Gotthelf Market takes place in Sumiswald, and for this market, the Emmental Railway runs several steam trains on the Sumiswald Grünen - Wasen i.E. line. The photo shows the E 3/3 853 of the Dampfbahn Bern association entering Sumiswald Grünen. The steam locomotive was built in Winterthur in 1890 under the factory number 629 and delivered to the J-S (Jura Simplon Railway) as the F3 853. At the SBB, the E 3/3 series shunting locomotives with the running numbers 851 - 853 were assigned to Group 82 and given the numbers 8571 - 8576. In 1911, the E 3/3 853 locomotive received a new boiler and was sold to the RVT, where it remained in service until 1928, when it was used as an "industrial shunting locomotive" by Von Roll in Gerlafingen and Klus. When diesel locomotives made the steam locomotive obsolete, the Düby Foundation saved it from scrap by handing it over to the DBB (German Railways). After its overhaul in 1983, it entered service on the Sensetalbahn, among other routes. After another overhaul in 2021, the DBB E 3/3 853 was used primarily on the Emmentalbahn line from Sumiswald-Grünen to Wasen i.E. Today, the E 3/3 853 bears the UIC number 90 85 0008 573-7.

"Swiss Steam Festival 2025" - The steam locomotives will be "dismantled" in Chaulin, and, as in recent years, electric locomotives will take over the last trains: At Vers chez Robert, the magnificent RhB Bernina Bahn Ge 4/4 81 of the Blonay Chamby Railway can be seen on the journey to Chaulin.

Swiss Steam Festival 2025 - As far as I knew, this train was supposed to run with the LEB G 3/3 No. 5. In addition, the paddle steamer "La Suisse" suffered damage, forcing the steamship to spend an extended time in the shipyard—a rather unfortunate event for steam in the region. But I was, of course, very happy to be able to photograph the beautiful RhB Bernina Bahn Ge 4/4 81 of the Blonay-Chamby Railway in good light on the renovated Baye de Clarens Viaduct.
