The day dawned overcast again but at least it wasn’t raining. By the time I’d had breakfast the cloud was breaking and by the time I’d walked down to Wassen then up to the line above the village it was a beautiful sunny day. Despite being a Sunday there was a lot of freight about. I noted 15 trains and several more were missed while changing positions.

Like Saturday, many of the IR trains were 460 hauled, probably over 50%, unlike during the week when Re4/4iis predominated. Most of the ECs were the booked 470 units but EC14 was hauled by an Re4/4ii for the second time in three days. EC15 was the booked 484. There were a couple of relief passengers in the afternoon, IR10286 from Chiasso to Zürich was Re4/4ii hauled but IR30188 from Göschenen to Zürich was a long rake of suburban coaches with a 540 motor coach at each end. The empty stock worked south around an hour earlier. Swiss Express liveried 11108 worked IR2178 from Locarno to Luzern but didn’t work the next leg of the diagram.

After spending the morning around Wassen, I took the bus down to Dangel, near Zgraggen, and spent a couple of hours there watching the clouds close in from all directions. Shortly after 11115 went south on IR2275 in good light, the last blue hole filled in. I went to Gurtnellen for an hour but the cloud just thickened and the ceiling dropped. That was it for another day, albeit not a bad one by any standards.
