Nice shot Georg. Built to last! Both those units could be in a museum yet they are still in service. Speaks volumes for the attention the maintenance crews pays to these units and the care that the operators take when running them. Awesome!

Georg, you sure do capture some really interesting subjects and scenes!

I think the only more interesting thing to see would be the steam switchers that the Swiss modified during World War II to heat the boilers with electricity using a pantograph on the roof. Got any of those left? I am constantly surprised by your railways and want to visit.

@ Sid: Any facilities for electrical steam generation were dismantled after the war. One of the E 3/3 locomotives, the # 8522 is operable as normal "Tiger" for the Sursee-Triengen Railway.
