A late onset of winter brought more then 3 feet (about 1 meter) new snow in the Bernina region the day before. In Alp Grüm, train 4629 from St.Moritz to Tirano is entering with railcars ABe 4/4 # 55 and # 54 in multiple traction, shoving the track plow Xk # 9144, which can remove the snow inside the track below the head of the rails.
