Very nice, especially the train with mid helper, the BLS was the only railway in Europe to use distributed power. Blausee-Mitholz where I spent several days and explored the Lötschberg pass. Our holiday home was in the middle of the lower U curve from where you could observe the same train on 3 times passing on different levels. That was in 2000 or 2001, Ae 8/8 was still in service but on minor tasks, and the Be 6/8 could be observed on one occasion, it was then part of the historic fleet but would be operated now and then to keep it fit, it was double heading with a Re465 for a freight up the pass with a Re4/4 pushing from behind.

Great video
When to upload Railway History - Steam in China in 1988 - Part 2 and Railway History - Steam in China in 1988 series?
I think Part 2 of Steam in China is coming in November or December. Part 2 will show steam in and around Xian.
