Trans Europ Express
A Trans Europ Express (TEE) heads past Chateau de la Batiaz at Martigny in the Rhone Valley, Switzerland. The loco is a Swiss Re4/4 II in TEE colours and the train is probably the return working of the "Lemano" Milan - Geneva service. The distinctive red and cream TEE trains once covered Europe with first class only services aimed at the business traveller but new high speed lines such as the TGV and the growth in air travel meant that the services started to wind down in the 1980s and ceased completely in 1995.
