Remarks & Notes |
"Bernina crocodile" Ge 4/4 182 is operational again after 30 years out of service. It is pulling the first commercial train over the Bernina line from Pontresina to Tirano this day. The train is sneaking along the shore of Lago Bianco near Ospizio Bernina on about 2250 metre a.s.l.
After some years exil in France, standing inoperational outside in the weather, the locomotive was brought back to Switzerland in 1999 and after 11 years of work in Pontresina and Poschiavo, mostly by volunteers, it is now operational again. |
