The train in the picture travelled via Delsberg to Basel but came from Brig as IR 51. Its formation is typical for that time, carrying the express train coaches D EW II, 2 A EW IV and 4 B EW II on the line Brig-Lausanne-Biel-Basel/Zurich-Romanshorn (hourly service, Brig-Lausanne not hourly and Brig-Sion as a regional train).
The quantity of A EW IVs made it possible to provide the 1st class of long-distance express trains with modern coaches. In contrast, the 2nd class still had to get along with only slightly modernised EW IIs ("Komfortstreifen", internally referred to as B(r)). Re 4/4 II usually hauled these trains. However, it was not uncommon for these locomotives to be replaced by Re 460s. Depending on the time of day and section, reinforcement coaches (usually 1 or 2 B EW I, if necessary for the Zurich area also an additional A EW I) and 1-2 Z or Z2 were coupled to side D or side B of the train, subject to the operational benefit.
