Another day, another oil train. Today we travel from an oil refinery in Cornaux, in the canton of Neuchâtel to a small tank farm in Ostermundigen, in the canton of Bern. The weather was very interesting on this spring day, with spots of sunshine, then some fog and eventually a brief moment of rain.
From Biel onwards, we are behind a regional train, allowing us to reduce the pace and soak in the surroundings a bit more.
Biel - Bern is an interesting stretch of track, which wasn't completely double tracked until 1996. Traffic consists of quarter hourly regional trains, part of the S Bahn Bern system and half hourly express services only stopping in Lyss. Between Lyss and Kerzers is one of Switzerland's 2 sugar production plants, contributing to the freight traffic in the area.
