Overview of Realp stations of Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke (left) and Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn (right), with a connecting track in the foreground. In the non electrified DFB station, steamtrain 131 to Oberwald via Furka pass is ready for departure with cogwheel locomotive HG 3/4 # 4 and blue cars. Red cars are stabled, some for another train the same day. On the right the tracks of the MGB, coming out from the 15.35 kilometer long Furka base tunnel, which was opened in 1982 and meant the end of the cogwheel line over the Furka pass of the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FO). A car transport shuttle train from Oberwald (with locomotive Ge 4/4 and cab car BDt) just left the tunnel and is entering Realp station. Regional train 527 from Göschenen to Brig (with a new lowfloor car in the consist and two attached cars in the rear behind the railcar Deh 4/4) waited for the crossing, because the base tunnel is single track (with two passing loops).
