Remarks & Notes 
The cogwheel steamlocomotive HG 3/4 # 1 "Furkahorn" of the Dampfbahn Furka Bergstrecke (DFB) pulled train 134 this day from Oberwald over the Furka pass to Realp. Now she is standing on the turntable of the depot Realp. HG 3/4 # 1 was built by the SLM in 1913 for the Brig-Furka-Disentis railway, which became the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn in 1925. In the 1947 the locomotive was sold to Vietnam for the Tháp Chàm–Đà Lạt line, but returned to Switzerland in 1990. Since 1993 operational again for the DFB in blue colors and with the name "Furkahorn". The locomotive has a enlarged coal bunker in the back, which was constructed in Vietnam. On the bunker is a plate of Inter Discount (Swiss electronic retailer, daughter of Coop), which sponsored the revision in Meiningen/Germany in 1992/93.
