Remarks & Notes 
Steamtrain "Clà Ferrovia" (Childrens Conductor) of the RhB with 2-8-0 steamlocomotive G 4/5 # 107 "Albula" from 1906 in the gorge of the Vorderrhein, called Ruinaulta, near Versam-Safien. The RhB says about this special program for children: " Do you know the secret of Lightland? An Advent light should shine there - but only those who find it can really see it. Clà Ferrovia knows where this magical place is. And because it's Christmas soon, he will lead you on his journey to this fairytale-like place. You will be accompanied by his friend Linard Bardill. Together they will rehearse a very special Advent song and fill the train wagons with a Christmas atmosphere. This will be an unforgettable experience for the whole family!" Behind the locomotive, you can see a drawing on the rock face. It is a land art work of the "Art Safiental", made by artist Analia Saban (Arg/USA). Text from Art Safiental: "Analia Saban‘s wall-work refers to prehistoric rock and cave paintings, which could be seen as early forerunners of Land Art. She covers the rock walls at Versam-Safien with oversized drawings of computer circuit boards and thus brings the earliest of human cultural achievements into dialogue with the computer age. Contrasting the fast pace of technology with the durability of the rock, she creates a place of which combines nature and technology. The lime paint drawing is exposed to the elements and will be eroded over time."
