Interestingly, in GB-en we normally use the phrase 'works' rather than workshop. Both would be understandable, though.

* Remise (carshed?, carbarn?, where vehicles are simply stored, like a
private garage)
Now what is the correct word for the third type. I only find "depot" for anything. But is this correct for the English use of this word?
An example for the third type is the shed at Rigi Kulm. Would this be called a depot in English?

If no maintenance work is done there, we would probably just call it a 'shed'. Not to be confused with Class 66!

An example of this is Clapham Junction shed, which is covered but has no maintenance facilities.

When we speak about buildings that house railway vehicles, we usually distinguish three types in German:

• Werkstätten (workshops)
• Depots (depots, where some maintenance work may be done)
• Remise (carshed?, carbarn?, where vehicles are simply stored, like a private garage)

A new railcar has been ordered for this line from Stadler. It will enter service in 2026 when the line will be converted to automatic operation. (No driver on the railcar)

Together with the new railcar comes a Stadler CBTC equipment for GOA4 level operation. Several parts of the infrastructure will be renewed. Total cost for infrastructure and vehicle will be between CHF 20 and 25 Mio., as it hasn't yet been exactly defined, which renewals will be done.

Well, it's not the CJ's 175 years, but the 175 years of railways in Switzerland.

465 004 has lost the Kambly livery and is now green

An easy way to tell - on today’s (Fri 16) diagrams 603 finishes with train 8062 running light from Davos to Landquart. It is then pre-allocated tomorrow on 8019, which is LQ-Dav, in position for the next week’s services.

Good morning,  I emailed the RhB to ask about next week, this was the reply 'one crocodile is on repair, the other is working a special train, so 603 will work the Davos-Filisur trains next week also' Voakey

It is worth remembering that 414 (1929) is only 18 years older than 603 (1947)
