Remarks & Notes 
The "Zaugg" diesel snow blower Xrot mt # 95404 of the Rhaetian Railway for the Bernina line is turned by 180 degrees, by supporting itself on a ram on the track, lifting, rotating and lowering again. The procedure to turn the 31 ton blower takes about 5 minutes and is controlled via a cable remote control. Seen from the backside of the snow blower, we can see the open ventilation flaps and the red, now lifted, track plough, which is pulled on rollers on the rails. The rotating procedure is very rarely used, because the sister snow blower # 95403 based in Poschiavo stands with the spinning direction reversed than the machine from Pontresina.
