Logo of Compagnie Internationale des Wagon-Lits
Title:  Logo of Compagnie Internationale des Wagon-Lits
Description:  From 1883, the Orient Express operated between Paris and Istanbul in three nights and three times per week in each direction. The Orient Express deployed the first sleeping and dining cars for long-distance train travel in Europe. Prior to World War I, CIWL held a monopoly being in Europe the only group catering to the needs of the international railroad traveller. The company introduced famous services, such as the Orient-Express, the Nord Express, and the Sud Express and expanded to markets outside Europe with involvement in the Transsibérien across Russia. After WWII CIWL started to focus more on the travel agency and management business. Accordingly it was renamed Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et du Tourisme (CIWLT) in 1967, and later just called Wagons-Lits. Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot had a mystery to solve on the Orient Express in Murder on the Orient Express.

11015 - SBB Historic
Title:  11015 - SBB Historic
Description:  In the 1920s stronger locomotives were needed for the Swiss rail system (which has grades up to 12‰ outside mountain lines). The existing locomotives with three driven axles were a bit weak for their services. Because the Buchl– drive already proved to be reliable on the Ae 3/6 I, two prototypes of the Ae 4/7 were ordered in 1925. Subsequently, in total 127 were built between 1927 and 1934. These two Ae 4/7 are stored and getting rusty, maybe they never run again.

BDe 4/4 1646 - SBB Historic
Title:  BDe 4/4 1646 - SBB Historic
Description:  On a railfan trip the BDe 4/4 stops in the summit of Gotthard tunnel at 1154 m / 3786 ft and we could visit the tunnel line room. Here, the man on duty has his half way break when checking the 15 km / 9.3 miles tunnel. A long walking through darkness wouldn't be a trip for everybody. Soon a freight train dashed along at 125 km/h - 77 mph, nothing for weak nerves !
