Much to see when you have a look from the mountain down to the station of Realp DFB on August 19, shortly before 10 am. The cogwheel steamlocomotive HG 4/4 # 704, built by SLM Winterthur in 1923 for Indochina, just brings the train 133 from the new car storage hall to the platform of track 1. The train is reinforced today, because there are many reservations. It is exceptionally composed of 3 four-axle cars and one two-axle car: AB # 4462 (built 1914), B # 2204 (built 1914), B # 4233 (built 1890) and B # 4222 (built 1890) and has 180 seats in 2nd class and 18 in 1st class. Total weight of cars with load 63.3 tons. The schoolchildren, who had previously visited the depot, are watching the preparation of their train, with which they will then travel over the Furka. From Realp MGBahn station, a group with luggage is approaching, which will also travel with them. At the very front on track 3 is the recently completely overhauled large freight car Gak 2443 of the former Visp-Zermatt-Bahn (BVZ). It originally dates from 1906, but received a new body in 1965 and has been with DFB since 2002. A bit further on the same track the faded blue open observation car C # 2354, which is no longer in service. Then follow the 3 orange "Moyse" diesel locomotives Gm 3/3 # 231 to # 233, which could be taken over from the Rhaetian Railway. Right next to it the red "Elch" (Elk), the diesel locomotive Gm 4/4 # 71.
