Side view on 11257 at Thun on a rainy 28 May 2019. The difference betwen the first batch of 55 locos Class Re 4/4"/420/421 and the main bulk is easily seen: the first batch have one pantograph (mostly diamond, but some have single arm ones) where the main bulk from 11156 have two single-arm pantographs.

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.
