Nice photos and great to see a few Ge 4/4i on passenger trains.

Off there myself at the end of the month and hoping for sun and snow for phots and to clear my remaining RhB locos for haulage; getting 7 Ge4/4i and 5 Ge 6/6 (and 802!) might be a tall order though.

Thanks

clearing your Ge4/4 Is for haulage I guess will be hard for one trip but there 5 guaranteed passenger workings every day at this time of year
2 on Klosters Davos Shuttles
1 on the Davos Filisur Shuttle + (plus spare set at Davos)
1 on the Bergun Preda Shuttle
and 1 on the morning/evening Ilanz-Chur/Chur-Ilanz (weekdays only) but the loco also works the Glacier Express portion in the winter I think from Dissents to Chur

but they seem to stick to there workings for ages...

There is sometimes a Ge6/6 II out on a Chur St Moritz diagram or a Disents Scoul in previous years I have seen them on a Lanquart Davos diagram but not sure how often this still happens.

The Bernina express between Samedan and Pontresia seems to be part of a freight loco diagram so could have a Ge6/6 II

802 seems to be the more common one its 801 which always seems to hide from me

remember the diagrams get put up at Bergun the night before and I think also at Filisur...

I had heard that the diagrams are no longer posted at Filisur since it became unstaffed, however diagrams are apparently available at Landquart on platforms 5 and 6. So visits to Landquart and Bergun sound in order
