Remarks & Notes 
The "snow scratch" ("Räumer") Xk # 9132 was built by the workshop Poschiavo of the Bernina Railway in 1936 as X # 1002, on the underframe of freight car L # 302 of 1908. In 1943 new designation by the RhB as X # 32. From 1954 X # 9132. In 1974 rebuilt for moving the side blades electro-hydraulic remote controlled from the cab of the pulling railcar (here ABe 4/4 # 46). The snowplow pulled the snow from both sides onto the track, creating a 6-meter-wide channel. The snow blower that followed, formerly steam-powered but electric from 1967 onwards, threw the snow from the track to the side.
