On this day, the former Südostbahn locomotives Re 446 # 017 (in publicity paint scheme Voralpen-Express "Ein Hauch Fernweh..") and # 015 (in publicity paint scheme for the NEAT exhibition in the Swiss Museum of Transport Lucerne) were handed over to the new owner, the Eisenbahndienstleister Gmbh (EDG). The locomotives are on a approval run from Samstagern to Biberbrugg and back, on the 5.0 % grade between Schindellegi-Feusisberg and Samstagern, with Lake of Zürich in the background. This 4960 kW locomotives were built in 1982 by SLM and BBC for the SBB as Re 4/4 IV # 10103 and # 10101, and came to the Südostbahn in 1994/1996. The four Re 446 are not needed any more by the Südostbahn since the change of the Voralpen-Express from push-pull trains to the new TRAVERSO trains from StadlerRail.
