Remarks & Notes 
For about 10 years, members of association "Club 1889", founded in 1996, worked in Samedan on the 2-6-0 steamlocomotive G 3/4 # 11 "Heidi", which was built by SLM in 1902. The club name was choosen after the year 1889, when the first passenger car, C 2012, which was rebuilt by the association, was built. The "Mogul" steamlocomotive got a new all welded boiler, new pistons, new valves, a new chimney, superheater, and was converted to burn light oil by DLM Winterthur. Some work was done by the RhB in Landquart, but most was done by skilled members of Club 1889 in Samedan. Now the "Heidi" is finished and like new. On april 2nd, she pulled a train from Samedan to Scuol-Tarasp and back for the workers of the Club 1889 and some guests. The train is on the way back to Samedan and soon entering Ardez, passing the catholic church and graveyard from 1871.
