With the timetable change, SBB RABe 512 trains replaced (most of) the SBB RABe 511 trains on the RE 33 line between Annemasse and Martigny. These are themselves scheduled to be replaced by the new Siemens double-decker trains in 2031. The picture shows RE 33 18418 traveling from St-Maurice to Annemasse, shortly after Villeneuve, with the Château de Chillon in the background.

The (ex DB) WRS 193 302 (91 80 6193 302-7 D-WRSCH) is standing in Lausanne with a long train of tank cars before continuing its journey. According to the markings, the locomotive is approved for operation in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium, although the voltage ratings listed in practically the same location are unclear to me: 3000 V, 1500 V, 1500 V 50 Hz, and 1000 V 16.7 Hz. Unfortunately, the locomotive and its train were positioned very awkwardly for photography, mainly due to the length of the train. Photo location: Platform 4, the railing of which can be seen on the right of the image. January 5, 2026

The Saga ends. Decommissioned NS DM'90s BUFFEL DMUs stood from 2016 at Nijmegen for a possible sale to a Romanian operator. Unclearities in -amongst others- obligatory documentations however ended the sale in 2019. Since Prorail and Nijmegen wanted the area, where 48 BUFFELs were stored, to be cleared up for building an extra platform at Nijmegen, the sale fell through and NS bought the BUFFELs back to get them to the scrapyard. On 13 November 2019 Volker Rail 203-5 hauls the first batch of DM'90 out of Nijmegen. THe saga continues however with Polish operator SKPL buying the entire batch for deployment in services in the Slask and Dolnislask regions.

MBS 7853 runs light through Haksbergen on 23 October 2016. After WW-II NS ordered many second hand steam locomotives due to the massive losses from 1944/1945. Second hand steamers were cheaper and the Dutch Railways wanted to phase out steam apace, investing in new Diesel and electric stock. Two C-couplers were bought from Switzerland and these Tigerli entered Dutch service as 7851 and 7852. IN 2015 MBS bought a Swiss Tigerli to reeneact these steamers and numbered hers as 7853, following the highest original number.

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.

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
