DFB 12 (DFB Xrotd)

Historic steam rotary snowplow R12 and engine HG 3/4 4 are on a mission: clearing the track of the Furka railway line of snow and keep running the trains...
OK: to be honest: this was done on a special foto charter. The rotary R 12 was built 1913 by SLM Winterthur for the Rhätische Bahn and was used on the "Stammnetz". It was taken out of service in 1968 and was brought back to life last year. It is now based in Realp on the Furka line and occasionally is used for special events like this one.
