The Railpool 186 497 arrived in Airolo with an empty train intended to load excavated material from the Gotthard road tunnel (2nd tube).

(ID 53509)

The Railpool 186 497 is waiting in Airolo for its train to be loaded with excavated material from the Gotthard road tunnel (2nd tube) in order to then take the train to Flüelen.

The MGB Orion ABeh 8/12 312 stopped in Göschenen a few meters too early, so that the driver's cab is unfortunately in the shade.

The Railpool 186 497 arrived in Airolo with an empty train intended to load excavated material from the Gotthard road tunnel (2nd tube). The wagons are already being loaded and the 186 497 is shunting so that it can then take over the loaded wagons.

EXIF: SONY ILCA-77M2, Date 2025:01:21 10:48:41, Exposure time: 1/800, Blend: 50/10, ISO80, Focal length: 240/10

Unfortunately the MGB HGe 4/4 II 107 is still in Andermatt and is waiting for its next service.

Of course, I also photographed the RABe 501 Giruno , which has since become dominant on the Gotthard axis; No matter how dominant they may be, they are not an everyday occurrence on the Gotthard

Since the Gotthard Highway Tunnel, which opened in 1981, needs to be renovated, they have the luxury of building a second tube during the renovation. After the renovation, both tubes will offer more safety by separating traffic directions, but will only be allowed to have one lane per tube. It will be interesting to see whether this will be adhered to... The excavated material will be transported to Flüelen by train. The Railpool 186 497 has arrived in Airolo with its block freight train consisting of Sggrrs S 204 double wagons. The wagons are then maneuvered under the loading device (left in the picture) and loaded. January 21, 2025 
