RABe 527 193 + 194 / CH-La Sonnaz

For a quarter of a century, the Murten Lake region has been hosting Switzerland’s oldest ‘Slow-Up’ event. For the 25th edition on 26 April, nearly 50,000 cyclists made their way to the Fribourg region to ride their bikes along the car-free roads. To cope with the extra traffic, the S-Bahn trains ran in double-unit formations. As probably the biggest Stadler FLIRT FLIRT in the country, I simply couldn’t miss this event. I travelled to La Sonnaz with my tall tripod and was able to photograph the two RABe 527 numbers 193 and 194, as they made their way to Fribourg in the Üechtland region. Thanks to the double-length trains, the numerous brown fields in the background were obscured.
