Wed 07 Mar 2012

A glorious sunny day but with very little Ge4/4i action. 603 and 610 worked an early morning extra to Arosa then hung around until late afternoon before returning. The other active loco, 605, was confined to barracks for the day. According to a member of railway staff I spoke to, 602 left Landquart today bound for the Museum at Luzern, where it will spend the next five years. 602 had been reported in use recently.

With no Ge4/4is to photograph, I set off to the Disentis line in pursuit of the day’s most unusual working, 646 on the morning Ilanz goods, bagging it in both directions between Castrisch and Ilanz and getting 704 on the return Disentis goods as a bonus. Next stop was the gorge east of Trin where I’d missed the afternoon Disentis goods yesterday but successfully photted it today with favourite 707 in charge.

The last couple of hours were spent north of Bonaduz on the Albula line where a couple of substitutions were noted; 646 turned up on RE1149 to St.Moritz vice ugly sister 649 and to redress the balance, graffiti liveried 633 replaced standard red 631 on freight 5152. I’d hazard a guess that 631 worked something else back from the Engadin as it’s shown as starting from Landquart in the morning.

All in all a very good day with a number of priority shots in the can.
