Switzerland 1988: Läufelfingen and somewhere else

Two photos of SBB locomotives, taken at some unknown location:

SBB Ae 6/6 11417, 19.8.1988

SBB Ee 3/3 16425, 19.8.1988

From the train, I aimed at the Integra frame at Läufelfingen:

Somewhere—probably at Sissach—, I met this Ae 4/7.

Hanspeter Thöni found an interesting detail in this image: At the points, the fouling point is not at the same location where the track circuits end. Therefore, two markers were used: The yellow one marks the track circuit and is used for trains, the red one is the marker for the actual fouling point. A similar distinction was made in Austria with the so-called "small" and "large" fouling point markers.
