Bern steam tram
The Bern Tramway Museum has a steam tram, '12', built by SLM in 1894, works No 863. No '12' worked until 1901 when the system was electrified. Luckily it was preserved and gets occasional outings around the city streets, creating a lot of attention. The trailer, '31', is a replica of the original 1894 stock, built c2000. It was quite an experience taking a tour round the city with it !

The Furka Oberalp Railway (FO)
Realp to Oberwald
The Furka Oberalp Railway (FO) is now run by the Dampfbahn-Furka-Bergstrecke (DFB) as a preserved steam-hauled rack railway from Realp to Oberwald, using the old line before the base tunnel was opened. The route includes the Steffenbach folding bridge and the Furka Summit Tunnel as it passes along the Rhone valley. It uses Swiss-built locomotives repatriated from Vietnam. Our train loco was No 704, built by SLM in 1923, works No 2940, for Vietnam. Crossing us at the summit was 'F.O.4', one of the lines' original locos, built by SLM in 1913, works No 2318.
