My trip pictures are now at least five years old. Question, where is the present location of the Ae3/6 and the Erstfeld crocodile. When I saw it the Ae3/6 was sitting at the Baden station fading with

Just curious, who is "poller?" John

After many years of having my 20 years of Swiss rail photos hide on my computer I have finally started to put them on Flickr. They are going up in random fashion. Look under JLOVDA. If you see any mis

I get the SBB monthly newsletter. To get Wi-Fi you have to go somewhere on your smartphone and get a some code in return. Unless I am missing something, if you only have a laptop you are out of luck.

Martin: Thank you. That was pretty close to my guess. I have a photo of the Ae 6/6 Graubunden in green sitting on that track that I will be comparing to the restored version I saw about four years ago

I am trying to date some old slides. Does anyone know the approximate time (year) that the main roofs of the station were extended to cover tracks 3 and 18? Thanks, John Lovda

Being an American, these rumours are not part of daily life. Even changing money is a difficult process. Unlike Europe, there are no Change businesses on every corner and your local bank branch would

Well, I was hoping to take another photo trip to Switzerland this spring but Yahoo News reported that the government is floating the Franc against the Euro and they expect the France to really rise. T

The place to go is the roundhouse at Landquart. That assumes someone can escort you. The public lobby is at the NW corner of the facility.

That's the first one, correct? How long was it in service? John

Will they be asleep in the tunnels because they don't care about the scenery or there is nothing else to do? I am 66 and have been to Switzerland 20 times. I might go one more time. Future riders can

When I visited old HAG factory in Morschwil several years ago, I was surprised to see a steel step-up the entire length of the edge of the concrete platform. Is this common? John Lovda

You can watch all the express trains come out of the Lotschberg tunnel at Visp. Don't forget the Gornergrat Bahn (expensive).

I saw a Roco green Re 4/4 II (with white ends) on ebay marked RailAdventure. Can someone tell me what this locomotive is advertising? Thanks.

Here is a VERY old question. On one of my first trips to Switzerland in 1994 when the 460's were first introduced, I got a chance to sit in the cab of one. On the door behind the driver there was a sm

Regarding this court ruling (first I heard of it), does this only apply to Swiss ladies going shopping or can an American with a camera and a Swiss Pass get on and not pay a supplement? John Lovda
