Wengernalpbahn (JB-WAB) - Switzerland In 2008 the WAB has bought a new snow plough, Xrote 21. It has just reached Kleine Scheidegg, pushed by modern locomotive He 2/2 32 built in 1995. Kleine Scheidegg, 07-03-2010 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |

An interesting work car of the Wengernalpbahn seen in Grund on 21 March 2002.
It seems to be intended to oil the surfaces of the rails. Keep in mind that
this is a pure rack railway, the rails are not needed for traction.

Electric rotary snow plow Xrot.e 11 of the Wengernalpbahn is parked in Grund on
21 March 2002, coupled to the He 2/2 locomotive 53. It can be turned on it's
underframe to operate in each direction. Note the two pantographs, the first
one seems to be intended to clean the catenary from the snow.
