Switzerland > Blonay-Chamby > MOB'stalgie

Good evening
- It would be solliciting facts to say that all people, and especially rail enthusiasts, are very hot on the new "Goldenpass" livery with plenty of gold and white/cream being applied to the present stock of the MOB. Hence the name MOB'stalgie for this heritage show with all the stock in the more traditional liveries opf the Montreux-Oberland-Bernois line, which is to French Western Switzerland a bit the equivalent of the RhB (Rheatian Railways) to the German and Rhetian parts of the country, i.e. the "Big One" amongst the many MG lines.
- To celebrate the completion of the renewal work on the electric railcar BCFe 4/4 11 of 1905, the BC has organised two weekends of heritage trains with all the available MOB pre-1945 stock, two of them (11 and FZe 6/6 2002 of 1932) belonging to the Blonay-Chamby and two (BDe 4/4 28 of 1924 + BDe 4/4 3004 of 1944) being still active for the MOB as worktrain power units. Number 28, who was in very poor external state, underwent an unexpected "beautification" treatment in the MOB workshops, which shoud improve the chances of survival of this unit.
- The two original MOB CIWL Pullman cars were also attending and a typical Swiss postal bus was also giving a roundtrip of about 30 minutes on Alpine roads nearby.
- The shows goes on for the next weekend 15/16.09 and is a must for anyone with an interest for Swiss MG at its best.
