The sugar factory in Frauenfeld has been shut down since Sunday, November 23, 2025. The reason for this is the failure of the lime kiln, which is a central element in the sugar production process. Sugar beet processing in Frauenfeld has been at a standstill ever since, which has had a huge impact on the harvest and supply. Some of the beets from Frauenfeld are now being transported to the Aarberg sugar factory. The Bombardier TRAXX F140 MS 186 # 908 of the Akiem leasing comagny, rented to UTL UMWELT + TRANSPORTLOGISTIK AG, Frauenfeld since septembe 2024, pulls the 1600 gross ton sugar beet train 69466 from Frauenfeld via Winterthur-Kloten-Regensdorf-Brugg-Olten-Biel VL-Lyss to Aarberg, between Winterthur and Kemptthal.
