Remarks & Notes |
Am 843 005 of SBB Infra is pulling a 7 car freight train of about 500 tons, loaded with used ballast for recycling, on the line from Hinwil up to Bäretswil Tobel (FBB company) with a grade of up to 2.8 %. The load came from the track renewal site between Bassersdorf and Hürlistein (Effretikon), till Hinwil pulled by Ae 6/6 11518. The catenary of the line between Hinwil and Bäretswil has been switched off since weeks because of security reasons, so the (rare) freights to Bäretswil Tobel have to use diesel power instead of an electric locomotive. The line is used by steam trains of DVZO in summertime. |
