Bombardier TRAXX F140 AC1 185 # 062 and # 061 of the PRESS (Pressnitztalbahn) in multiple control, rented by SBB Cargo, pull the empty HOLCIM gravel train 67554 from St.Gallen Haggen via Romanshorn VL-Winterthur-Bülach to Hüntwangen-Wil, between Müllheim-Wigoltingen and Hüttlingen-Mettendorf, just before the bridge over the Thur. The background: SBB has ordered a total of 35 Vectron locomotives from Siemens for national transport, which should have been delivered from spring 2024. The locomotives cannot yet be used in Switzerland due to the lack of approval for the ECTS Baseline 3 from Siemens. Some of the Re 4/4 II and Re 6/6 locomotives were not overhauled as they were due to be replaced by the new locomotives. As a result, there is currently a shortage of operational freight locomotives.
