The Transports Publics du Chablais (TPC) ABeh 2/6 546 Les Doigts and the BDe 4/4 401 seen at Aigle railway station

Directly after the previous gallery here I am with the follow-up of our 2018 Switzerland backpacking trip that included some RhB, a travel on the Voralpen-Express and the Jura Railway, and a very important day of photographing the Waldenburgerbahn before it is converted to metre-gauge. The visit to the CJ could only happen because I managed to call our accomodation in Aigle as the detour to the westernmost part of Switzerland meant we could miss our arrival time, but luckily our cheap and good value hostel was more than forgiving so that's how we managed to do this fantastic travel. My apologies for my very basic level of French! The Swiss Travel Pass is another great perk.

Aigle is probably not that well known to many railfans but it's a very nice area with four, very distinctive narrow-gauge railways (three of which are also rack). The place is just East of Lake of Geneve (Lac Léman), but you can have a look here:

Before 2000 the railways belonged to separate companies (though they mostly shared the directorate) and the new, streamlined terminus was only built in 2008, before that, the trains stopped at the square in front of the standard-gauge station in a rather awkward and haphazard way with random connections and leftover freight cars to be unloaded.
