In July 2016 I found this photo location north of Faido, a little above the Broscerina Tunnel with a view of the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, which bridges the Ticino River here.

A SOB TRAVERSO RABe 526 drives as Treno Gottardo over the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, and will immediately drive into the 1567 meter long Prato Tunnel, which is designed as a 360 ° circular

A SOB TRAVERSO RABe 526 drives as Treno Gottardo over the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, on the way to Locarno Sept.

In July 2016 I found this photo location north of Faido, a little above the Broscerina Tunnel with a view of the 103 meter long Polmengo Bridge, which bridges the Ticino River here. But the joy didn't last long, the opening of the Gotthard Bassis Tunnel was imminent and the journey was too long for me for a "measly" TILO Flirt that only runs every hour. But with the unfortunate derailment of a few freight cars a few kilometers from here, but deep under the mountain, traffic on the "Panorama" route begins to pick up again for a few weeks and I drove to Faido: In the picture is a SBB "Giruno" RABe 501 on the way to Lugano.

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 Panorama Route": As a result of planned maintenance work in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, most IC/EC will run from Monday to Friday from January 13th to January 24th, 2025 via Göschenen - Airolo . After the sun disappeared behind the mountains in Airolo at midday, things turned out well in Göschenen from midday onwards. The picture was taken near the Göschenen entrance signal and shows the two SBB RABe 501 016 "Glarus" at the front and 501 008 "Monte Ceneri" at the end as IC 21 10671 on the journey from Basel SBB to Lugano.
