Remarks & Notes 
The Rhaetian Railway's self-propelled steam snow blower for the Bernina line, X rot d # 9213, built by SLM in 1910 for the then independent Bernina Railway as BB # 1051, has been overhauled over several years and is now fully operational again. The machine, with six powered axles in two bogies, undertook several days of training runs for staff, not only on the former Bernina Railway, but also on sections of the RhB's main network, between St. Moritz and S-chanf and from Bever to Spinas. The steam rotary snow blower X rot d # 9213 reached Bever again after the second run to Spinas and back, now there is a 3/4 hours brake for the staff. There are several flaps on the side of the body that can be opened. An employee is currently taking his personal belongings out of a box to take a break. Further ahead, directly behind the other employee, there is a large flap that provides access to the drive of the centrifugal wheel. The vehicle has a total of 6 steam cylinders, 2 for the blowing wheel and 2 each for the two driven three-axle bogies, according to the Meyer system with the cylinder pairs facing each other in the center of the vehicle.
