OC - Switzerland What's this? we asked ourselves. It was very old but well maintained and looked like a Dutch "Blokkendoos" that is already in the museum for ages. At home I looked it up: this motor car is from 1920, even older than its Dutch family! Apparently the modern motor car they have was out-of-service.

OC - Switzerland Old - but in normal passenger use - electric motor car OC BDe4/4 13 in Orbe. Remove the cars and crane, and you would think it is 1920 again. Orbe, 24-11-2005 Digital photo by Marco van Uden

OC - Switzerland OC diesel shunter Em3/3 3 is shunting with some freight cars in Chavornay. OC used to bring all freight to Chavornay itself, but I've seen modern SBB diesels already on the line towards Orbe. How long will it take before SBB will take over completely?
