Another "oldie" trivia question
When I started seriously taking Swiss rail pictures in the mid-90's I immediately noticed that many locomotives had a dark circle under a windshield. Here is an example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/

I have never heard of Biberist in relation to the SBB. Is there a locomotive workshop such as Bellinzona there or are there just some siding tracks? Is it a worthwhile place to stop at and take photos

Re460 with strange paint
I won't get into argument but it hit me immediately with the very glossy paint. What you see is what I saw with my eyes. If this paint is used on all refurbed Re460s it looks ugly.
