#Lötschberg🇨🇭
In Olten steigst du in den @speisewagen.com, angeschrieben in grossen Lettern mit ZÜRICH. Fahren tun wir über Bern-Lötschberg bis nach Milano. Der Zug selbst bewirbt die Destination München. Willkommen in der Schweiz. 🇨🇭

#BLS🇨🇭Re4/4 Class #Re425 electrics ended their career earlier today, on a #Lötschberg shuttle.
The “Brownies”, as they were affectionately called by railfans, or “Brunelis” in Swiss German, were built from the 1960s onwards.
📷: one such loco with a passenger service at Interlaken Ost in spring 1991.

Seen from the #Lötschberg🇨🇭#Kandersteg to #Goppenstein car-carrying train earlier this week: a #BLS Class RABe 528 #MIKA unit for #Brig passes our train as we await departure.

The Northern portal of the Lötschberg Base Tunnel is here, used primarily by Intercity and EuroCity traffic travelling from Bern to Brig or Italy. BLS regional trains like this one however take the longer yet more scenic Lötschberg Line, the original route prior to 2007… 🇨🇭

Good Morning from the #SBB🇨🇭#elvetino #DiningCar on this #InterCity from #Basel to #Brig via #Bern, #Spiez and the #Lötschberg base tunnel. #Breakfast as we catch a glimpse of Lake Thunersee.

A #Lötschberg🇨🇭#EuroCity bound for Germany 🇩🇪 seen at #Spiez in the early 2000s: a #BLS #Re465 hauls a long consist of DB cars. The #verkehrsrot paint scheme has been applied on the first one, whereas others display the orient-red #Produktfarben livery. A #WRmz137 type #DiningCar is positioned fourth.

In most places, cars and freeways have erased trains and tracks. In #Switzlerland, trains are so ubiquitous they've found a way to absorb cars.

Case in point: To get through the Lötschberg Tunnel, drivers roll right on to open-sided railway cars, + stay inside their vehicles for the 20-mn ride.

📍 Bern

My aim for stopping here was to catch BLS’ “MIKA” FLIRT set, which will be taking me over the original Lötschberg Line to Brig. For a regional train, the interior looks absolutely fantastic, so can’t wait for the ride over the Bernese Alps. Let’s go! 🇨🇭

Pictures taken, around the turn of the millennium, on the #Lötschberg 🇨🇭 line, travelling from #Spiez to #Brig in a Swiss fresh air coach. This is an #InterCity from #Basel, probably IC 331 “Val d’Ossola” with the first six air-conditioned cars, provided by #FS #Trenitalia, going as far as #Milano 🇮🇹.

Good Morning from the #SBB🇨🇭#EuroCity #61 to #Milano 🇮🇹 via the #Lötschberg and #Simplon routes. Breakfast in the #elventino #DiningCar as we leave #Basel. Beautiful views of Lake #Thunersee (with a northbound SBB double-decker InterCity train from #Interlaken in the foreground).

Good morning from a very sunny Brig! 🇨🇭

I’ve arrived on MGB from my hotel in Mörel and just noticed a nice old departure board on these platforms
Now I’ve got a pendolino taking me north through the Lötschberg base tunnel towards Bern 😁

Good morning from the #SBB🇨🇭#elvetino @diningcar.at Enjoying a (late,second) breakfast ☕️🥐 in the #Bistro section. It is located at the lower deck of this #IC2000 double-deck car as we speed at 200kph through the #Lötschberg base tunnel.

Among #Switzerland’s many
scenic railways: the #Lötschberg south ramp. Travellers can even enjoy the views down to the #Rhone valley from their own vehicle, when using an #Iselle 🇮🇹 (#Simplon) to #Kandersteg🇨🇭(#Lötschberg) car-carrying through train. Photo taken today at sunrise.

Impressions from our ride on the #Iselle 🇮🇹 to #Kandersteg🇨🇭car-carrying train yesterday: passing two major alpine railway tunnels, #Simplon (almost 20 kms long) and #Lötschberg (15 kms), the trip lasts about an hour: time for breakfast, or a nap, while staying in one’s own car.

Und im Frutigen angekommen - auf einen Slot für den Lötschberg Basistunnel warten.

Kollege hat mir in Spiez die Lok hinten drauf gestellt und das aus einem bestimmten Grund: In Domo2 ist das Gleis halb mit 🇨🇭 und halb mit 🇮🇹 Fahrdraht.

Beim Einfahren halten wir direkt...

On the #Lötschberg🇨🇭 tunnel car-carrying train from #Goppenstein to #Kandersteg. (There’s no road tunnel up here.) In front of us: a sheep trailer marked “Tiertransport” - and you can hear their baa and meh. They’re going home after having spent the summer in the #Valais Alps. 🐏🐑😊

Première expérience aujourd'hui avec une navette ferroviaire pour voitures (auto-trains) circulant entre Kandersteg et Goppenstein à travers le tunnel du Lötschberg (14,612 m). 🇨🇭

Der 34,6km lange Lötschberg-Basistunnel zwischen Frutigen im Berner Oberland und Raron im Wallis unterquert die Wildhorn- und die Doldenhorn-Decke sowie das Aarmassiv. Am 16. Juni 2007 ging der Tunnel in Betrieb. Im Tunnel befindet sich ein Restaurant von Elvetino. 🇨🇭👩‍🍳🚅

#Interlaken🇨🇭 Ost station in February 2006. On the left: a #BLS Re4/4 electric with a push-pull service composed of BLS cars for #Zweisimmen. These locos can still be seen on #Lötschberg and #Simplon car carrying trains. On the right: a BLS RBDe4/4 compo with a local for #Spiez.

Hopefully there should be discounts and special offers for holders of GA, Halbtax, STS Tickets, and bookings on premium panorama trains.

And why not some occasional niceties off-peak for motorists using Motorail shuttles through Lötschberg/Simplon?

And a strong cosy 🇨🇭 interior design,
