Remarks & Notes

Steam rotary snow blower R #12 puts on a great show during snowfall on the Furka steam cogwheel railway. It is pushed by the cogwheel steam locomotive HG 3/4 #4 from 1913. This snow blower Xrot d #9212 was originally built in 1913 by SLM Winterthur and taken out of service by the RhB in 1968. Over the past 18 years, this marvel of Swiss engineering has been completely overhauled and rebuilt by Martin Horath and his team. What an impressive achievement!
