After two good days, I was expecting Friday to be a total wipeout. That was certainly the forecast and the day started totally overcast. I headed over to the Engadin via the Julier Pass and spent a couple of hours at S-chanf to check what was working the Pontresina - Scuol-Tarasp services. A bonus was seeing 701 working freight 5929 to Samedan as its usual route via Küblis was still closed. It soon started to rain and after seeing the three trains working the passenger service, I crossed the mountains again, this time via the Albula Pass. It was still raining at Preda where I stopped to check if 701 would appear on 5152. It did, with 605 coupled inside.
Then it was down to Bergün to check the day’s diagrams, which are posted at the station. Bergün is a building site with the goods shed demolished and a new platform under construction. The main station building is still there but looks out of place amongst the new concrete. While I was at Bergün, the sky suddenly cleared, producing a surprise shot of 622 in the sun. I carried on down to Filisur and climbed up to Landwasser Viaduct for a few more sunny shots before the next batch of cloud and rain arrived. The day ended with a shot of 651 during another short sunny break at Bonaduz.
