The four cylinder compound freight train steamlocomotive C 5/6 # 2969 "Elephant" is on a load test run this day, from Romanshorn to Wittenbach and back, pulling about 130 ton on the 1.8 % grade of the former Bodensee-Toggenburg Bahn line towards St.Gallen. In tow the Be 4/4 # 14 and railcar BDe 3/4 # 43, both former Bodensee-Toggenburg Bahn vehicles. The train is running quite quick, but the wind from the back is pushing the exhaust in the same speed.
