caption_attribution_description: English: Two SOB Re 456 with a Voralpenexpress are climbing the grade between Biberbrugg and Altmatt, Switzerland. The train consists of two former BT RBDe 566 NPZ coaches (both have a lower coupler at one end, hence two of them), four Revvivo coaches and a NPZ driving trailer. Deutsch: Zwei Re 456 der SOB erklimmen mit ihrem Voralpenexpress die Steigung zwischen Biberbrugg und Altmatt, Schweiz. Der Zug besteht aus zwei ex-BT RBDe 566 NPZ-Zwischenwagen (welche an je einem Ende eine tiefer gelegte Kupplung haben und daher nur paarweise verkehren können), vier Revvivo-Wagen und einem NPZ-Steuerwagen.
