Sorry I missed that. My brain was focused on the SBB Cargo colors and the small "SBB CFF FFS Cargo" logo on the side. Thanks to all for your replies.

Hello: Because of COVID I haven't been back to Switzerland in almost two years. I ran across this photo.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/112648581@N02/50996884120/ What does "iL" stand for? Thanks, J

I saw this photo on FLICKR today. Is the big word "Cargo" being removed from all Re6/6's? https://www.flickr.com/photos/112648581@N02/50064782006/ John

Someone ought to refresh our memory and post a picture of the "new" standard Re460 design scheme with the wave. I never saw a picture of a real locomotive, just a HAG model. How long did they actually

Speaking of narrow gauge interurban trains, I found this photo on FLICKR. I have no connection to the photographer. I wonder if the train driver has to use the horn a lot weaving around narrow streets

The pictures from the Aargau Verkehr website are really nice. If I have a off day on my next trip I may stop in Bremgarten. Thanks for all your replies! John

I have been watching YouTube videos of SBB train cab rides. On a video riding S25 the train passed some narrow gauge tracks going off from Wohlen. I followed these tracks on Google Maps and they seem

Got my latest monthly SBB e-mail. They are looking for drain drivers with "life experiences," i.e. older. Interested? https://company.sbb.ch/en/jobs-careers/keep-switzerland-moving/rail/engine-driver.

Markus: Sorry for my mistake. John

https://www.flickr.com/photos/79976134@N07/48032914316/ Craziest logo I have ever seen. One question off topic. There are several comments here stating Swiss voltage is 15kv. Has it changed from 11kv?

On my last trip I caught a Traxx 188 sitting at Spiez. It appeared to be owned by Bombardier, not a customer. What are the differences between these two models? More HP? Is the 185 Swiss-Italian and t

I just returned from my eight day Swiss train riding trip that included a cab ride in an Re4/4 II (11191) pulling a southbound "Gotthard Weekender" train. The train actually started in Zürich but the

Thanks Andrew, I'm getting excited. I assume you were in a private restored lok? Take a look at these photos. Ten years ago my Gotthard route train passed 10997 sitting on a siding somewhere near Flüe

Thank you Markus. I apologize for being lazy. Because I'm supposed to be waiting for the locomotive 10 minutes before it arrives in Flüelen I cannot take 3091 from Zürich HB (1 minute stop at Flüelen)

I hope someone can help me. I will be in Switzerland from 28 May to 5 June. I decided to spend a bunch of money and will be riding in the cab on the "Gotthard-Weekender," Saturday, 1 June from Flüelen

We were definitely only at the main station. Here is another picture taken the next morning when we were leaving Luzern. https://www.flickr.com/photos/79976134@N07/16679834110/in/album-721576624022171

Sorry, I really have no recollection. That was 43 years ago. In my 20 odd trips to Switzerland for rail photography (mostly starting in 1994) my primary interest has been locomotives, not what they ar

I saw 11161 in TEE colors during my honeymoon in 1976. John https://www.flickr.com/photos/79976134@N07/16247085823/in/album-72157663116399595/

I haven't written here for a long time. I will be in Switzerland around the first of June. I have a short day for traveling on Ascension Day and someone mentioned this one mile long single car train a
