Clutter

I'm not quite sure what I was aiming for with this shot, it is certainly an untidy composition. It does capture a typical Swiss railways scene; spotlessly clean and the worker has a purposeful stride. Typical swiss platform signs and station clock.

 

This is a RhB GE6/6ii, in fact the doyen of the class, no 701 at Samedan in 2000. Articulated Bo-Bo-Bo locomotives dating back to the 1950's now mostly found on freight trains. 2300HP, which is quite impressive for a 50 year old metre-gauge loco.

 

The predecessors were the famous RhB Krokodil locomotives, some of which survive for special workings.
