The SBB Werbeloks are covered with a 3M printed adhesive sheet. There are some sign companies here in my city that print these advertising sheets for cars and trucks. Once at the Zurich HB many years

What are the major differences between the Siemens SBB Cargo Re474 and the black MRCE ES64? Thanks, John

Thank you Stefan! We haven't talked in awhile. Best wishes.

Do you know where stamp collectors can buy "collectible" stamps from Swiss Post?" I purchased a 10 stamp commemorative Gottardo 2016 block at the Swiss Post booth on June 5 and would love to add other

My personal opinion is that the 460 designed by Pininfarina is one one of the most beautiful locomotives designed. The GG1 by Raymond Loewy is a close second. Who designed the other "modern" Swiss loc

I never would have guessed the number was that high. Very sad. Are these events evenly spread around the country or more common in particular regions? John

I hope this is not an embarrassingly simple question. One object of the Gotthard base tunnel was to allow freight trains to be pulled by one locomotive instead of Re 10/10's (Re485, etc) and also be l

In the US there would be 100 lawyers chasing every passenger on the train trying to get them to sue for whiplash. Or do they that in Switzerland too? John

This is a somewhat technical question. When I saw a Vectron in Erstfeld, the frequency was printed on the side as 16.7 Hz. I asked someone who seemed very knowledgable if the number was just rounded t

Markus: Were any of the Gottardo 2016 sponsors such as ABB in attendance at your event with all or part of their June 5 & 5 exhibits? I found them very interesting. BTW, a friend of mine who lives in

Marcus: For some reason all of the Flickr links in my previous message were repeated. Would you be able to erase the duplicates? Thank you, John

Thanks Mike: You were right about the FLIRT vs the Thurbo. Please note that I am very ignorant of coach types and numbering. I do remember way back seeing some white/orange Swiss Express coaches that

Thank you Markus! John

I have been looking at my slides and images of Swiss trains lately and I am mentally trying to date some of the bigger visual changes I've seen since my first trip in 1983. I know some were gradual bu

Try again. They were accidentally marked private. Could you see any pictures (earlier ones before Gottardo?) John

I put six of my photos from Erstfeld on Flickr. I will be adding more later. jlovda https://www.flickr.com/photos/79976134@N07/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/79976134@N07/ jlovda https://www.flickr.co

One other comment about something I saw.... At the Zurich HB there was an 460 that had a new or almost new paint job. I don't remember the number but it had a large SBB logo on the nose. It looked (to

Over the past 20 odd years when I came to Switzerland on photo trips I made it a point to stop at the Lausanne depot (the side closest to the Gare CFF with the turntable). Always a lot of material for
