| Remarks & Notes |
| The Rhaetian Railway's Ge 4/4 II # 626 “Malans” locomotive was given a new livery in cobalt blue and ivory to match the “Alpine Classic Pullman Express” (ACPE) parlor cars, at the suggestion of the Friends of the Saloon Cars of the RhB Association. The ceremonial rollout took place in Landquart on September 17. The design of the locomotive was made by graphique artist Michaela Hardmeier in cooperation with the RhB. Name and coat of arms of Malans is now small on the grey frame visible. The locomotive will be given the name of Alby Glatt in 2025, "Mister Pullman" and founder of the saloon cars of the RhB association. The locomotive is now in normal use in front of freight trains or the Glacier Express. On this day she pulled the freight train 5742 from Ilanz to Untervaz and Landquart, transporting VALSER mineral water in swap-bodies to the distribution center in Untervaz. The train is between Ilanz and Castrisch. |
