Today's trip is somewhat special. It's not often that a freight train enters a terminus station, especially with half a million litres of ethanol. The alternative route (which we will be taking to Basel) however, does not allow trains over 1100 metric tons, likely due to it's inclines and older infrastructure.
The trip started in Basel, following the main line to Olten and Lucerne, where the train needs to change directions to reach it's destination, Schachen. Alternatively, a direction change can be made in Gütsch, is however unfeesable due to high traffic. The change in direction requires a locomotive at each end of the train.
In Schachen, the train is delivered and the locomotives continue back to Basel along a less frequently used line via Wolhusen and Langenthal.
