REOS DVD 068
In January, July and August 2005, REOS visited the Gotthard
line. As a result of open access, SBB now has competition from
several railway companies. This is evident as they operate
locomotives in their own corporate liveries.
The main competitor is Railion-BLS. Their Class 185s, in DBAG
or Railion liveries, sometimes out number the trains hauled by
the classic SBB Re 10/10s. “Smaller” competitors are Rail4-
Chem and TX-Logistics. The latter operating a new loco type
from Siemens, known as the Taurus.
Also notable, are the changes in liveries and companies evident
on freight wagons. There is a mix of familiar and new container
wagons on trains transiting the iron-highway to Italy.
Between freight trains are passenger trains including the new
silver and blue livery of the Cisalpino stock. At the end of the
film we seem to go back in Time!
Maps are provided to indicate camera locations. We only use
original sound recordings without any commentary or music.
Running time: 93 minutes.
