The MOB Be 4/4 1002 seen at Zweisimmen shunting with gravel cars

We have arrived in Zweisimmen, where the standard-gauge railway ends and you can transfer to the MOB trains to Lenk and Montreux. The Montreux line is longer and steeper, that is the path of the Golden Pass route as well. The device in construction in the foreground is the dynamic gauge changer, using which the panoramic cars of the MOB can change from metre-gauge to standard-gauge. On standard, the coaches are going to be hauled by BLS locomotives this way providing a shared platform transfer to the partly rack-and-pinion RegionalExpress trains to Luzern on the Zentralbahn. The rack wheeled, gauge changing bogies are yet to be developed.
