At (and around) #Delémont🇨🇭#Jura and the #Birs/e valley today, southwest of #Basel. Modern #Stadler and #Bombardier/Alstom units are dominating the scene, and there’s a still impressive 1970s #Re6/6 #Re620 in #SBB Cargo livery awaiting some freight duties (mainly gravel/ballast and timber I guess).

Starting into the weekend with a hike to the 12th century #Pfeffingen🇨🇭Castle south of #Basel. Its position high up above the #Birs Valley allows for nice views, of the #Jura-Bahn railway line, among other things.

Pictured here is a #BLS🇨🇭#Stadler #RABe528 unit seen earlier this week in the #Laufental valley, working an hourly #Biel/Bienne to #Basel #InterRegio service. This is the #Swiss #Jurabahn. It’s mostly single track. The line passes along river #Birs, through agricultural land.

Out on a hike today in #Laufental🇨🇭#Birs-Valley, just south of #Basel. Incidentally (😇) the hiking trail follows the #Jurabahn railway line. At #Bärschwil station, closed to passenger service in 1989, we see a #Basel to #Biel/Bienne #InterRegio, worked by a #BLS #RABe528 #Mika unit, passing through.
