From the real world:
In July 2006 my wife and I had a nice holiday in Switzerland, During a trip northbound (by car) over the Gottard pass we stayed overnight at a small village named Lavorgo. Next to the road we found a small hotel. On the other side of the road are the Gottard railway line.
We were sitting outside the hotel, enjoying a nice quiet dinner. Very low traffic density, both on the road and on the tracks.
Suddenly, without any warning, a freight train came up the hill at a
surprisingly high speed. I was lucky to have my camera in the chair next to me,
to make a snapshot of the Re 10/10 headed by a Re 4/4.
The same minute another Re10/10 came down the hill, also rather fast, this
time also with the Re 4/4 in the front, but in the opposite direction.
Normally, the Re 10/10units were not split, but ran back an forth between the
terminal stations in the order they had, regardless of which unit that were in
front.
After the dinner we went for a walk along the railway line and station area, with the camera in shooting position, but Murphy's law came into action; no more train traffic for the night.
