Remarks & Notes 
Tried and tested, reliable snow clearing equipment of the Rigi Railways in use on Rigi Staffel. On the left, the snow blower locomotive He 2/3 # 8, built in 1930 by SLM and MFO for the Arth-Rigi Railway (ARB). On the right, cogwheel railcar Bhe 2/4 # 2 from 1937, built for the Vitznau-Rigi Railway (VRB) when it was electrified. The railcar pushes the snow plough X # 102 built in 1931, which was rebuilt and modernized several times. Until a few years ago, it had no cab and the operators stood unprotected on the vehicle. The pantograph is used to scrape ice from the overhead line.
