More of Steam on the DFB:
Proof that it was my seat!
First clear view of the locomotive - Class HG 3/4 - F04 at the summit during the Lunch stop.
First road crossing after the summit tunnel. Descent under the control of the Counter pressure brake.
Another water stop - Gletsch - no sign of the rack - this is a rack and adhesion line.
After arrival at Oberwald, ancient meets modern - F04 and MGB class HGm 4/4 61 with more work equipment for the tunnel in the background
