Remarks & Notes |
Test run from Thun to Gümligen for the new gauge-changing "Golden Pass Express" (GPE) of the Chemin de fer Montreux Oberland bernois/Montreux-Berner Oberland-Bahn (MOB) with Re 465 # 014 of the BLS on the Aare valley mainline of the SBB between Kiesen and Wichtrach. The locomotive is shoving a push-pull train with leading cab car ABst # 382 and "interface" car Bsi # 293 of the MOB (Montreux-Oberland Bernois), followed by two SBB standard car type IV as brake cars. The first new cars have gauge changing bogies for standard and 1 meter gauge, the design was made by Pininfarina, the car bodies built by StadlerRail and the new bogies by Alstom. Trains with such cars (in total 5 cars between Montreux and Zweisimmen and 6 cars between Zweisimmen and Interlaken Ost) should be circulating from autumn 2022 as "Golden Pass Express" of the MOB (Montreux Oberland Bernois). The "interface car" Bsi # 293 has standard coupling with buffers on the side of the EW IV cars/Re 465, and "Schwab" automatic coupler for the cars/locomotive of the MOB on the other side.
