Thursday 17 February 2011

The weather forecast was best to the north and west so I headed for the lineside east of Ilanz for the morning. It took some time for the fog to lift but there was weak sunlight by the time 608 went past on 5225 and full sun when it returned on 5232. The good light continued for 604 on the westbound Glacier Express and 704 on eastbound freight 5236. All these trains had one thing in common - they ran early, something that continued through the day for virtually every freight I saw.

The Disentis - Scuol passengers were solid Ge4/4ii as expected, but two successive westbounds had locos defaced with adverts on the side. There are now no less than six Ge4/4iis vandalised in this way; 611, 615, 616, 617, 619 and 622.

At midday I moved, stopping briefly at Chur to attempt a shot of a Ge4/4ii running through the streets, then continued to Malans for the Ge4/4i returning from Jenaz on 5042. Unfortunately 5042 didn’t run and the sun didn’t play ball either. The afternoon Davos freight, 5047, comprised a single wagon hauled by 704.

Full details of all the locos seen are listed below.
