Still going strond is BLS 179 at Brig on 1 January 2024. Although she has no duties, her pantograph is raised because the temperatures are sub-zero and catching current from the catenary warms the loco a bit, preventing frost damage.

In the picture: the BLS RABe 535 121 is made available as a regional train to Frutigen in Spiez. Feb 18, 2025 

In her last year of service with the BLS, 420 501 pushes a regional train out of Spiez towards Interlaken Ost on 2 January 2020. This loco has been sold to Verein Extrazug.CH and that organisation is in the proces of restoring this loco back to her original condition as green SBB 11110, including the rounded head lights. It is planned that this loco will be unveiled in her original condition during the 150th anniversary of the Emmentahl Line (Burgdorf--Huttwill/Konolfingen) at Langnau in Emmenthal on 18 May 2025. 
