In July 2016 I found a photo location north of Faido, just above the Broscerina Tunnel with a view of the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge. When I visited the photo location again this year, I went one step further, more precisely, to an abandoned "guardian's house" just before the upper portal of the 1567 meter long Pratotunnel, which, as a 360 ° circular tunnel, overcomes a height difference of a good 40 meters. The picture shows the IC 10667 that is traveling from Basel SBB to Lugano and will reach the Prato circular tunnel immediately behind my back. I was able to photograph the two SBB Giruno RABe 501s again a good two minutes later on the Polmengo Bridge (see image ID 50365). It is precisely experiences like these that make the Gotthard Railway so attractive.

On 15 September 2011 DB Cargo 185 113 prepares to depart from Erstfeld on to the Gotthard Line and therefore she will receive assistance in the guise of a banking locomotive. Since the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnen in September 2016, scnes as these at Erstfeld station are consigned to the past. 
