Remarks & Notes |
The RAe TEE II # 1053 has arrived again at Murg on the shore of the Walensee on the traditional annual special trip for patrons of RAe TEE II # 1053 from SBB Historic. Passengers are boarding again for the afternoon journey. Above the train in the background is characteristic 2269 meter high Sichelchamm mountain. This year's trip started in Olten and went via Brugg-Zurich-Wallisellen-Pfäffikon ZH-Rapperswil-Pfäffikon SZ-Ziegelbrücke to Murg, from where the train continued empty to Unterterzen and later back to Weesen. After lunch, the train departed from Murg via Sargans to Buchs SG for a stopover, and later through the St. Gallen Rhine Valley (home of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of SBB Historic) via St. Margrethen-Romanshorn VL-Frauenfeld-Winterthur-Zurich back to Olten. The timeless elegant six-car TRANS EUROP EXPRESS train RAe II # 1053 was built in 1961 by SIG and MFO for SBB and was a technical pioneer with a maximum speed of 160 km/h and the ability to run on all four power systems in Europe.
