Then to Gurtnellen, my next 'target' shot and a location where I've been jinxed with the weather in the past. And guess what? Yep it got me again.

The BLS are using some of their long term hired in 185's at pilot locos from Erstfeld for extra power over the Gotthard route. At 0906 185-525 piloting BLS486-507 arrived, then at 0913 closely followed by 185-527 piloting 186-101, which is Railpool owned, but BLS branded. Both 185's were removed very smartly as is the Swiss way.
