BLS 172 banks an intermodal train out of Spiez on 24 May 2002.

On 19 September 2021 SBB Historic 11411 shunts herself toward the sidings while an extra train leaves Erstfeld under the pouring rain.

A scene from the past: BLS 168 banks an intermodal train out of Erstfeld on 6 June 2015. The Gotthard Line is SBB territory, so the BLS brownie is an interloper. Class BLS 425 are now rapidly disappearing and most freights do cross the Gotthard Pass under Erstfeld via the NEAT instead of through Erstfeld.

At noon on 1 January 2025, the Sun finally shows herself at Kandersteg and shines her light upon BLS 192. 

On the morning of 1 January 2025 Kandersteg still lies in the shadows of the adjacent mountains, putting BLS 192 in the darkness. 

A somewhat daring picture given the lighting conditions: the BLS Re 4/4 191 is waiting in Goppenstein with its (quite short) car tunnel train (AT1) in a structure for the departure to Kandersteg. The “superstructure” is called the “Meigenbachtunnel” and is 114 meters long. Sept. 12, 2024 
