Erstfeld station - SBB Swiss Federal Railways  Contributor's Pick!       
Almost full house with the arrival of a Re 460 intercity train. On the right side three BR 185 ready to go up on the northern ramp with a 1700 t scrap metall load. On the left tracks two BLS/DB intermodal trains got their additional BR 185 and are waiting for green light to pass the Gotthard route. Due to closure of Simplon route for several days because of urgent maintenance those trains had to take the alternative route over the Gotthard line to Italy.
