Sascha Keller

Certified Passenger & Freight Train Operator

LimmatRail AG

Dear Hiring Team,

I am writing to express my interest in the Train Operator position at LimmatRail AG. With active experience operating regional passenger services across northwestern Switzerland and an established background handling mainline freight, I offer dedicated adherence to Swiss railway safety standards, strict schedule compliance, and dependable operational execution.

Currently with RegioBahn Jura AG, I operate standard-gauge passenger trainsets across regional corridors, consistently maintaining punctuality while adhering to track-speed limits and national operating regulations. My daily duties center on thorough pre-departure vehicle checks, brake inspections, and the reliable operation of train protection systems, including ETCS Level 2, Integra-Signum, and ZUB 121. When service irregularities, adverse weather, or track detours occur, I maintain clear communication with traffic control centers and station dispatchers via train radio to preserve passenger safety and minimize disruption.

My prior work with RhineRail Logistics GmbH further solidified my mechanical awareness and technical discipline, where I operated multi-system electric freight locomotives, managed shunting movements, and addressed minor mechanical and pneumatic rolling stock faults on-track. Additionally, during the Regional Fleet Modernization Trials, I participated in driver-cab operational evaluations for upgraded commuter trainsets, providing practical feedback on cab ergonomics and interfaces directly to fleet engineers. This blend of hands-on technical grounding and structured passenger service aligns closely with LimmatRail AG's commitment to high service standards.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my operating background, valid Category B license, and commitment to railway safety can support your network. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Sascha Keller
