Remarks & Notes 
The two restaurants on the Oberalp Pass were previously supplied in winter, when the road was closed, by the car transport train that ran several times a day between Andermatt and Sedrun. Due to insufficient demand, these trains were discontinued. Now, during the closure of the pass road, a short freight train runs from Andermatt to the Oberalp Pass and back every Wednesday, ensuring the supply of the necessary goods. The Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway does not have a suitable goods wagon available for this purpose, so Gak # 2443 of the Furka Bergstrecke steam railroad (DFB) is used for this purpose. The wagon was built in 1906 by SIG Neuhausen as K # 63 for the Visp-Zermatt Railway, was rebuilt several times and came to the DFB in 2002, where it was renovated to its current condition. The HGe 4/4 II # 104 pulls the short train from the Oberalp pass back to Andermatt, below Nätschen. On the upper right you can see the cars of the GLACIER EXPRESS from Zermatt to St.Moritz, which is waiting in Nätschen for the crossing with the regional train.
