Sunday started with a train I've been looking forward to since I read about it, the gauge-changing Golden Pass Express! The first half is pulled by a MOB meter gauge loco, and then halfway that is detached, the carriages reconfigured to standard gauge on a special track, and a BLS standard gauge locomotive added on back. The entire gauge change experience was extremely fast and smooth and almost unnoticeable. After decades of hand wringing I'm so glad someone has finally cracked the gauge change nut.
