Downgraded TEE
Seen at Lausanne in its twilight years and no longer in its original red and cream livery, an RAe TEE II unit stands at Lausanne station. Later known as the RABe EC sets, these were the Swiss Federal Railways’ contribution to the prestigious Trans Europ Express network, the acme of long-distance pan-European rail travel. I was to travel on this train for the short hop from Lausanne to Montreux - and would have loved to have gone much further.
