Triple Re 4/4 Meet
Title:  Triple Re 4/4 Meet
Description:  As an Re 4/4 train departs from the right another is arriving from the left. Hidden behind the signal mast at left is another one. The Re 4/4 is something like the F40 of Switzerland and they are rapidly disappearing from use as newer equipment comes online so this was a great catch. They date from the late sixties.

Description:  These units were built between 1991 and 1996 and are something like the P42 of Switzerland.
