MOB train at Les Avants on 11 July 1985.

The MOB railway, Compagnie du chemin de fer Montreux-Oberland bernois, located in southwest Switzerland,is one of the oldest electric railways in Switzerland; its main line, 62.4kilometres (38.8mi) in length, built to 1,000mm (3ft 3?in) gauge, connects Montreux, Gstaad and Zweisimmen where passengers can transfer to the standard gauge Bern-L?tschberg-Simplon railway. There is also a 12.9kilometres (8.0mi) long branch line from Zweisimmen to Lenk.

History

The line was opened in stages, the first, from Montreux to Les Avants (10.9kilometres (6.8mi)) on December 17, 1901 followed by the Les Avants to Montbovon (11.2km) section on October 1, 1903. The next stages from Montbovon to Chateau d’Oex (10.6km) and then Gstaad (13.1kilometres (8.1mi)) followed on August 19, 1904 and December 20, 1904 respectively, the final (16.6kilometres (10.3mi)) of the line reaching Zweisimmen on July 6, 1912.

For the MOB, Zweisimmen is the terminus station; the branch line to Lenk continues in the opposite direction. Because of its poor state of repair, this line was closed on June 14, 1975, however, it was fully modernized between 1977 and 1979, having new tracks and overhead lines, reopening on September 27, 1979. New rolling stock was purchased (* in the list below) to operate this line together with the weekdays school service from Zweisimmen and Saanen. Since reopening it has been included in the regular operating schedule of the MOB with timetabled connections to the main line services.

From the very start the MOB had the character of a mainline railway and, at an early stage, through trains with dining and saloon coaches were introduced. The creation of the Golden Mountain Pullman Express in 1931 was unfortunately at a time of world economic crisis and this accounted for its lack of success. The saloon coaches 103-106 built for this train by Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL) were sold to the Rhaetian Railway in 1939, where they are still in use (As 1141-44). Two of the original (1913/4 built) coaches have been restored by the MOB and are used for “Chocolate train” services in the summer months, but still regularly find work on the main line “Classic train” services on Sundays throughout the year. The modern successor of this luxury train is the Golden Pass Panoramic Express, which for the past few years has aroused growing enthusiasm.

Over the years, while passenger traffic boomed, freight traffic diminished with 2006 seeing the end of cement transport between Montreux and Saanen and the transport of standard gauge wagons on transporter bogies between Zweisimmen and stations to Rougemont and Lenk. By the end of the year the MOB was a passenger only operation, however in Spring 2007 the company purchased nine gravel (hopper) wagons and two surplus locomotives from the Transports Publics Fribourgeois (TPF) (previously GFM). The MOB now operates this transport from Grandvillard (on the TPF line) to Saanen.

Routes

The MOB begins its journey in Montreux, departing trains normally making use of platform 5 and arrivals platform 6, between the Swiss Federal Railway platforms and those of the rack and pinion railway to the Rochers de Naye. Winding its way up through the vineyards above Lake Geneva via Chamby, as far as Les Avants, the line passes through the crown tunnel under the Col de Jaman to reach the Saane Valley. In Montbovon there is a connection to the TPF (previously GFM) network. Following the Saane upstream, passing the famous hot-air ballooning centre of Chateau-d’Oex, it leaves the French-speaking Canton of Vaud near Rougemont and enters the German-speaking Canton of Berne. After Saanen the planners would have liked a direct ascent of the Sannenm?ser Pass but without the aid of a rack and pinion system this was impossible and the line was diverted to loop around the village of Gstaad, adding greatly to the development and prosperity of the community. Beyond Gstaad railway station it begins the climb to the head of Saanenm?ser Pass, the highest point on the line. On the other side it descends the Simmen Valley to Zweisimmen, where there is a connection to the standard gauge line of the BLS to Spiez.
