Description ๐:
It's the last day of summer 2025, and the French-speaking part of Switzerland is enjoying it to the fullest with a warm day and clear skies. It's the perfect day for those who want to take a dip in Lake Geneva or for those who own vineyards.
The Canton of Vaud is famous for its wine, which counts for about a quarter of all Swiss production, second only to the Canton of Valais. Between July and October is harvest time, so on a day like this it is typical to see families going to the vineyards together in the morning to pick the grapes that they will then use for wine production. The route connecting Lausanne to Bern twists and turns through the vineyards, offering breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the French mountains on the other side.
In this picture-postcard landscape, an SBB โDominoโ train serves as the S41 regional train between Lausanne and Yverdon-les-Bains, passing through the city of Fribourg. The train commonly known as โDominoโ is actually a composition consisting of the ABt pilot carriage at the front of the train and a central INOVA low-floor carriage.
Pulling the whole thing is the locomotive at the rear, which is designated RBDe 4/4 or RBDe 560 according to UIC standards. Depending on demand, the trains are extended with more carriages or coupled together. Domino trains are gradually being retired and replaced by Stadler's modern FLIRT trains, therefore, in a few years photos of these trains will become a rarity.
