Hi Dave.

Was picture C10099 Montreux taken from the end of the station?

It looks like some remodelling has taken place. I can't find the level crossing.

 

I assume it was about here and has been replaced by the underpass:

The angled bridge is still there.

 

Cheers

Hi Keith,

 

It was indeed taken from the end of the platform.

 

Looking at Google Earth image for 1997 (which only has a partial coverage of Montreux in photos) it appears to show the level crossing still in situ.

 

I think the road crossing the line  was the Rue de la Gare.

Correction - I've just looked at my own 1997 photos and have found that by August 1997 the crossing had gone, as can be seen in my photo below - I think it had only just been done.

I'm not sure which red light you stop at when driving under the railway in the third photo.

The one on the right is for local drivers, the one on the left is for UK drivers who have missed the one on the right. :jester:

J10360 - any idea what kind of vehicle that is?

Looks like an Austrian Bahnpostwagen (railway post coach)

This is a picture form Wikipedia, taken by Tobias b köhler aus der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia

They are for Postal use, built in 2 batches

 

Post m 5081 00-30300 to 319 built in 1981/1983 and Post m 5081 00-33320 to 329 built 1987 onwards

Looks like the signal post in Dave's picture (in)conveniently covers the post logo on the vehicle side.

 

Keith

 

 

I think Dad took the photo with great care to make sure the logo was not visible!

Here's one from the other side:

 

 

 

Taken by a Hungarian chap, his caption reads;

"ÖBB Postal Car Postm at Innsbruck on 13.03.2004"

HTH!

 

 

Thanks all; I don't recall seeing any like that!  Must have looked out of the wrong side of the train at the crucial moment!!

A few odds and ends from France today.

 

 

The Chamonix photos are taken looking down from Le Brevent.  The stations can be seen in the upper part of the photos.

 

 

The Avoriaz photo shows a very short length of "narrow gauge" track from the concrete mixer to a safe place for the helicopter to hover to pick up the concrete containers to take them higher up the mountain.  Perhaps an idea for a cakebox model?
