Thanks to ‪@100dampf‬ for correcting us on the fate of the railcars...
The ABe 4/4 487 and 488, which were delivered to RhB in 1973, were sold to the Chemin de Fer du Jura where they stayed in service until 2015/17.
It seems no ABDe 4/4 was transfered into the Misox, but the line had it's own railcar of pretty much the same type, the BDe 4/4 491, which now resides at the museum at Bergün.
But railcars 483 and 484 were equipped to handle the lower voltage of the Misox Line.
484 was sold together with 486 to the Chemin de Fer de La Mure but didn't enter service.

Greetings Martin, I hope to publish Alan's next volume of Swiss cine films here every Friday for the foreseeable future. Also I see some film tins of American rail on the archive shelves, so hope to work on them later this year.

Nice Film. The Bellinzona Mesocco Railcar looks the same as the ChA ones but was from new stationed in Bellinzona.

There seems to be a few mistakes in the fates of the ChA Railcars
The ABe 4/4 487 and 488 which were delivered to in 1973 were sold to the Chemin de Fer du Jura where the stayed in service until 2015/17
And while I can't find the fates of all ABDe 4/4, it seems none of those were transfered into the Misox, but the line had it's own railcar of pretty much the same type, the BDe 4/4 491, which now resided in the Museum at Bergün
But the railcars 483 and 484 were equipped to handle the lower voltage of the misox line.
484 was sold together with 486 to the Chemin de Fer de La Mure were they never entered service and were to be sold three years ago
