It looks like a normal freight train for most people, but railwaymen and many trainspotters are able to tell exactly what those trains carry. Some love it, some hate it, but fact is, the beverage is consumed all over the world and that is where this train comes into play. Welcome aboard the "Red Bull" train! Today we pull a lot of the cans through Switzerland and later they will continue their journey to Bremerhaven in northern Germany. The exact distribution is unknown to me, but most of the cans will find their way to shelves in the United States. Every single consumed Red Bull in the US was in this train once, since only cans made in Switzerland are imported to the US.
Enough of the energy drinks, let's talk railways: Our locomotive today is a BR 185 from DB Cargo Switzerland and pulls this train from Buchs SG marshalling yard in eastern Switzerland to BaselMuttenz marshalling yard in northwestern Switzerland. It takes us from the south of the rhine valley in Buchs alongside Lake Walen and Lake Zurich through the center of Zurich, with a view into Mülligen marshalling yard and a turn into Limmattal marshalling yard (RBL) for a short stop. From there, a right turn takes us onto the Bözberg route and a few hours later, we have reached our destination.
