SBB IR1617 EW II B/D Coach Set (3) V

The train pictured travelled via Delsberg to Basel, but came from Brig as IR 51. It is a typical composition for the time, consisting of D EW II, 2 A EW IV, 4 B EW II of the express trains on the Brig–Lausanne–Biel–Basel/–Zurich–Romanshorn line (alternating hourly, Brig–Lausanne not hourly and Brig-Sion as a regional train).

The number of A EW IVs made it possible to equip the 1st class of the long-distance express trains with modern carriages, while the 2nd class had to make do with slightly modernised EW IIs («comfort stripes», internally known as B(r)). Re 4/4 IIs were usually used on these trains. However, these were often replaced by a Re 460. Depending on the time of day and section, additional carriages (usually 1 or 2 B EW I, if required for the Zurich area an additional A EW I) and/or 1–2 Z or Z2 were used, coupled on side D or side B, whichever was more convenient for operations.
