What a marvellous picture! I like the view of that shunter waiving his arm. On the right-hand edge of this picture we can see one of the two brown (instead of green) first-class coaches built in 1912 in anticipation of a visit by the German emperor (with never materialised). As for locomotive no. 56, it is still active and in good condition as Schynige Platte Railway no. 16. Greetings from Peter

Hello Brian,
this is not a BLS loco, this is the SBB Ae 3/6 III No. 10262 (Swiss Federal Railways).

This is a very rare picture, as these locomotived (Ae 3/6 III) did not usually work to Interlaken, which was normally served only by Ae 4/7 (or BLS engines). I am wondering whether the first coach is a special coach owned by a tourist train company. Greetings from Peter

Peter, a very interesting comment about a tourist train. We travelled as part of a package holiday organised through British Rail who my father worked with. I know we travelled by sleeper train. I cannot say when this particular photo was taken but IF it was our return train then it would be a sleeper bound for France and the English channel.

A lovely historical photograph. Here this loco was still on loan from the Wengernalpbahn WAB, later becoming Schynige Platte Railway no. 17. It was repainted in the standard reddish-brown of the SPB and scrapped in 1997. Peter

That is also some very beautiful cars behind this locomotive.
Peter Ackermann 9.8.2023 21:46
By the way, this locomotive was joined to no. 253 to become Ae 8/8 274. The end came in 1995 when 274 was scrapped. Peter

Hello Brian, Hallo Armin,
nach der Umbezeichnung 1962 wird dies wohl der ABDe 4/8 741 sein. A very nice picture from Mülenen. Auch beachtenswert die Fahrleitungsanlage jener Zeit.

Yes, it's still running today, that's the coal-fired BRB 6, an H 2/3 geared steam locomotive (800 mm)
