This day, the five former SBB passenger cars, privately owned and used as "Nostalgie-Rhein-Express" (NRE) in former years, returned to Switzerland after they were used by the Centralbahn in Germany since 2014. The mixed first/second class cars AB # 3658, 3660, 3662, 3663 and 3664 were built in the SBB works of Zürich in 1961/1962 for international traffic. In 1986 already, they were sold to the association Eurovapor for special trains, and 2014 they were purchased by the Centralbahn and used in Germany. Now the association 241-A-65 in Full/Argovie bought the cars "back to Switzerland". The train is running along the Rhine river between Etzgen and Schwaderloch, pulled by the Re 421 # 371 of the SBB in the publicity paint scheme for shorter journey times between Zürich and Munich, which was rented by the Widmer Rail Services (WRS) for this transfer run between Basel and Full.
