<p>If you think that´s serious snow, you should see what they have to do to clear the Furka Pass line! The line is now operated as a tourist steam line, but even during the times of regular operation, it had to close down beginning of October and was reopened in July. Snow clearing had to start in May, removing up to 40 feet of snow. </p> <p><img src="http://schienenfahrzeuge.netshadow.at/bahngalerie25_500/2009_05_29_536.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Highlight was the re-installation of the Steffenbach bridge, the only foldable bridge in the world.</p> <p><img src="http://www.mfb-basel.ch/steffenbach/bruecke_300.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.mfb-basel.ch/steffenbach/abb13_300.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>Too bad we can´t model snow fighting operation on a layout!</p>
