	A shot showing two Re6/6 hauled trains taking part in the hourly ritual at Arth Goldau. In this example the train on the left is a Basel - Chiasso service via Luzern whilst the one on the right is the IC "Ticino" from Zürich to Milano. Both trains are scheduled to arrive within a few minutes of each other and after the connection has been made the faster train will head for the Gotthard with the other following 3 minutes later. A similar connection involving northbound trains takes place 10 minutes later.	Arth Goldau circa 1995
	An SBB RBe540 standing in the sidings between duties.	Arth Goldau circa 1995
	A shot taken from the roof of the signalling control centre looking south towards the Gotthard line. The line diverging to the left is the SOB route to Pfäffikon, Rapperswil and St.Gallen used by the Luzern-Romanshorn "Voralpen Express"	Arth Goldau circa 1995
	A general view of Arth Goldau station looking north. The high level platform of the Arth Rigi Bahn can be seen spanning the Luzern route with the route to Zug and Zürich diverging to the right.	Arth Goldau circa 1995
	An Re10/10 combination passing through the station with a southbound freight carrying swap bodies and containers. The invitation, from one of the SBB duty controllers, to visit the signalling control centre was a pleasant and much appreciated surprise and is an indication of the pride that the Swiss have in their railways.	Arth Goldau circa 1995
	One of the HUPAC rolling-road services carrying heavy lorries between the German and Italian borders passes through the station headed by Re4/4 no.11363 and an unidentified Re6/6.	Arth Goldau Summer 1997
	SBB RBe4/4 no.1404 departing with a Regionalzug to Luzern. The high visibility paint scheme indicates that the unit is also used on the SeetalBahn which has roadside sections.	Fluelen circa 1995
	Te lll no.153	Fluelen circa 1995
	A southbound freight hauled by a pair of Re460 locos.	Fluelen circa 1995
	A refurbished Colibri unit, possibly from the workshops at Olten, returning south. Attached to the rear was one of the multi-voltage Ee3/3 lV's which I assume was returning to Chiasso. (See next photo) The train is running on what would normally be the northbound track in order to allow faster traffic to pass it.	Fluelen circa 1995
	See previous photo.	Fluelen circa 1995

	The southern portal of the Gotthard Tunnel is obscured by a road bridge. Here a "Grey Mouse" is seen leaving the tunnel with "The Gottardo" service to Milano Centrale.	Airolo August 1992

	This service hauled by RBe4/4 no.1401 appears to be operated for the benefit of local railway personnel.	Airolo August 1992
	SBB 460.003 departing with a northbound Gotthard route stopping service. These services stop at most principal stations between Basel or Zürich and Chiasso.	Airolo August 1992
	Re6/6 no.11612 rounding the curve from the tunnel with a southbound express service. The EW1 car between the loco and the dining car has probably been added for a reserved party.	Airolo Summer 1997
	In August 1992 a series of wheel wear tests were carried out on the Gotthard southern ramp using a special train powered by two Re460 locos. The train is seen here hauled by 460.052 (with 460.024 at the rear) entering one of the station loops. The 9 car train had Eurofima cars from Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.	Airolo August 1992
	460.024 pausing between test runs. (see previous photo)	Airolo August 1992
	An Re4/4 l powered Regionalzug accompanied by the station tractor. Local train services no longer operate between Bellinzona and Airolo and the small stations are now served by buses.	Airolo August 1992

	Another heavy northbound freight but this time headed by an Re6/6 and Re4/4 passes an Re460 on a test train.	Airolo August 1992
	Re4/4 no.11140 and an Re6/6 pass the station on one of the loop lines hauling a train loaded with new motor cars. The freight had been re-routed away from the station platforms because one was occupied by a steam special running as part of the Swiss 150 celebrations.	Airolo Summer 1997
	Re6/6 no.11633 and an Re4/4 passing through the station with a southbound freight.	Biasca Summer 1997
	Shunting locomotives between duties. The Ee3/3 no.16324 is from the first batch produced in 1928 and is no longer in service.	Biasca August 1992
	Re4/4 lll no.11351 waiting to return north after assisting a freight over the steeply graded section from Giubiasco. The number and SBB/CFF/FFS lettering on this loco is painted instead of the more usual cast metal. This is because it was owned by the SOB between 1985 and 1994 and was returned to SBB service as part of the Re4/4 lV exchange deal. A close examination of the bodyside shows where the SOB nameplate has been removed.	Riviera-Bironico Summer 1997
