A rare working steam route, built for tourism but off season, it still serves the midpoint Planalp's remote village commute. From lakeside to forest, to alpine pasture, ending 100m shy of the summit, a string of either oil or coal fired steam hauled single carriage sets, photogenically climb Abt rack in sequence.
This original 8mm cine film, shot summer 1968, captures the route, locos and rolling stock of the era. As ever, Paul Russenberger kindly recorded my scripted narration in 1999.
