Freight car Hik 301 of the Wengernalpbahn is parked in Grund on 21 March 2002, next to Hikt 302. These cars are normaly used to bring goods from Lauterbrunnen up to Wengen, but in the week before the Snowpenair Concert at Kleine Scheidegg on 23 March, a lot of freight was brought up to there from Grund. Note the shaft running along under the car at this side and being connected to the shaft under the next car. I noticed shafts like this on several cars. They seem to be intended to transmit a turning movement through the train mechanicaly, but I don't know which function is controlled this way, maybe a mechanical brake or something.

Freight car Hikt 302 of the Wengernalpbahn is parked in Grund on 22 March 2002, next to Hik 301. These cars are normaly used to bring goods from Lauterbrunnen up to Wengen, but in the week before the Snowpenair Concert at Kleine Scheidegg on 23 March, a lot of freight was brought up to there from Grund. The sidewall is open, showing some of the stage equipment that was transported. This car has a cab from where the train is controlled when going uphill. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz

wab_flatcar_gr1.jpg (106955 bytes)

A flatcar of the Wengernalpbahn is parked in Grund on 21 March 2002. At this end, which is allways facing downhill, it has to coupling systems. First there is a central buffer with a hook, used to couple with older trains and most other freight cars. An automatic coupler can be moved into position to couple the car to the new BDhe 4/8 EMUs. It seems that the buffer is tilted upwards in that case. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz

wab_freight_gr1.jpg (131633 bytes)

The freight cars 302 and 301 of the Wengernalpbahn are shunted in Grund by BDhe 4/4 power car 104 on 21 March 2002. These cars are normaly used to bring goods from Lauterbrunnen up to Wengen, but in the week before the Snowpenair Concert at Kleine Scheidegg on 23 March, a lot of freight was brought up to there from Grund. On the Lauterbrunnen side the freight trains are normaly operated by the new He 2/2 locomotives in the same blue livery as the cars, but all train I saw on the Grindelwald side were moved by BDhe 4/4 power cars. 302 has a cab from where the train is controlled when going uphill.

wab_freight_lb1.jpg (149960 bytes)

A freight train of the Wengernalpbahn on the way from Lauterbrunnen up to Wengen, seen from a downgoing train entering the siding on 20 March 2002. It is pushed by the He 2/2 locomotive 32 of which the pantograph and a part of the roof is visible. There is no cab car, it seems that the driver sitting on the flatcar has a remote control. The siding is located in a very steep terrain, note the protection against falling rocks. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz

wab_k411we1.jpg (119991 bytes)

Freight car K 411 of the Wengernalpbahn at the rear end of a train to Lauterbrunnen, seen in Wengen on 20 March 2002. As the old trainsets have no space for the skis inside, a small freight car is used. Most of the cars are smaller than this one, note that the ski holders do not use the full length. Also the smaller cars usually do not have a handbrake like this one. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz

wab_k411we2.jpg (77731 bytes)

Detail of the freight car K 411 of the Wengernalpbahn seen in Wengen on 20 March 2002. A cogwheel for braking is at the axle next to the "lower" end. Next to it are two drums on which the brake shoes work. I think the cogwheel and the drums are not coupled with the axle, as the running wheels have a bigger Diameter than the cogwheel.
