Hallo Kabelleger!

Ich bin durch Zufall auf deine Seite gestossen und bin positiv überrascht. Du bist laut deinen Vorlagen Railfan und User of öV, wie ich. Bist du auch in der deutschen Wikipedia präsent und wo wohnst du? MfG & auf bald -- Sämi, User in der deutschen Wikipedia (-> Benutzer:Sämi.)und ebenfalls Schweizer Bahnfan.

SBB Articles edit

Nice work on the RABDE 12/12 article! If you don't mind I'll do some further work on your translation too. So far it looks great.

I also created a new page for the Steuerwagen of the world, here. I have several new pictures to put there as well. --Cacetudo 11:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Locomotives edit

Hi Kabelleger; thank you for the translation of SBB-CFF-FFS Ae 6/6 from the German-language Wikipedia. :-) Maybe you could translate de:SBB Re 4/4 II as well someday? I think that the Re 4/4 II as one of the most important locomotives of Switzerland should have an article in the English Wikipedia too. Although my native language is (Swiss :-) ) German and I think that I'm able to write in English quite satisfactorily, I do not have the needed proficiency in English railway terminology to translate such an article.

Sawtooth braking edit

Regarding sawtooth braking I fully understand your physics considerations. I presume there is a real life reason, some finer detail, technology-related, why it is done that way. -- Klaus with K 16:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Zürich S-Bahn edit

Thanks for undoing all that vandalism on the S-Bahn Zürich page! Lostvalley 00:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

SBB-CFF-FFS Re 620 edit

Hello Kabelleger (Cable installer),
In SBB-CFF-FFS Re 620 you would have done well if you had used template:infobox locomotive instead of going to all the trouble that you did go to by composing that ""Wikitable".
Gruessen, Peter Horn User talk 16:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Template:infobox train would have sufficed for SBB-CFF-FFS RABDe 12/12. Peter Horn User talk 18:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, will keep it in mind. I'm not sure if that kind of standardisation was already there back then... --Kabelleger (talk) 20:08, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

The Bernina railway is a single-track, metre-gauge railway line forming part of the Rhaetian Railway. It links the spa resort of St. Moritz, in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, with the town of Tirano, in the Province of Sondrio, Italy. This photograph shows a train near the top of the Bernina Pass at an elevation of more than 2,100 metres (6,900 ft). The two ABe 4/4 multiple units have excess power with only two passenger cars, so some freight is carried along at the rear of the train.
