Remarks & Notes 
The 0-4-2 T Cogwheel locomotive HG 2/3 # 6 "Weisshorn", which was built in 1902 by the SLM Winterthur for the Visp-Zermatt Railway, is shunting a freighttrain in Gletsch. This was the very first (and only) operational steamlocomotive of the Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke (DFB) in 1992, when the first leg from Realp to Tiefenbach was opened. She was then painted blue and got this more authentic paint scheme in 2007 after a revision in Goldau. The freight cars are: Kkl with unknown number. Then high-sided wagon Ek # 2719, painted as historic L # 556 of the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FO), built in 1889 by Nicaise and Delcuve in La Louviere/Belgium for the Landquart-Davos Railway (LD) as L # 106. Was then running for the Rhaetian Railway and was sold in 1913 to the Société de Construction Batignolles for the construction works of the Brigue-Furka-Disentis Railway (BFD). Came later to the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FO), but was sold in 1955 to the Visp-Zermatt Railway (VZ). In 1998 the car came to the Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke (DFB) and was renovated as "L # 556". The third car in the consist is the Kkl # 2776 from 1896, which came from the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn to the DFB. The last car is the covered X # 2916 of the DFB, used as tools and rescue car, built in 1914 for the Brigue-Furka-Disentis Railway, later the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FO).
