Germany & Switzerland April/May 2013 Day by Day

Wed 08 May 2013

A great day by any standards. Not only was the weather clear and sunny but both Swiss Express liveried Re4/4iis were on the Chur - St. Gallen circuit as well. The odds against that must be pretty slim.

I started at Sevelen before moving on to the spot north of Sargans in the late morning. An early afternoon move in the Chur direction found nowhere clear of big ugly poles so I went north and spent the rest of the day around Oberriet and Altstätten instead.

As well as 11108 and 11109, the other locos on the Chur - St. Gallen’s were 11149, 11172 and 11303. The 511 wasn’t seen. Freight traffic was a little disappointing with only one long freight being seen, the oil tanks at 09:30. Everything else was a bit short.
