Swiss Precision!

Unthinkable in previous decades before privatisation of European railways set in,
a classical Swiss Federal Railways electric on a train in the heart of Germany,
romantic Rhein-valley between Mainz and Koblenz.

As fate would have it right at the point there´s a meeting taking place with another Swiss mate, as only Swiss precision can provide it:

While the train is heading northwards towards Cologne, in the river the yellow vessel is heading towards the Swiss border at Basel, which is it´s home harbour.
It´s name: Piz Amalia, a mountain peak in the Swiss Alps.
The flag clearly shows it´s home country, as well as the sign on the front of the beautiful engine!

Taken near Trechtingshausen on crisp, warm and sunny April 14th, 2007 at temperatures up to 28°C!
