Sunday 20 February 2011

What a contrast to Saturday. The wall to wall sunshine was replaced by wall to wall cloud and, from mid-morning, continuous snowfall. I went to Klosters first, in the vain hope that there might be some sun for 607 and 603, coming up the bank on RE1327. Not a chance, my first, and almost certainly last, pair of Ge4/4is on a passenger train passed in gloomy conditions.

With no prospect of any sun I decided to check out a few potential photspots near Cavadürli. With a Ge4/4i booked up the hill every hour on the Klosters - Davos Sportzüge, there should have been plenty to practice on. In the event it was 3 hours before I saw a Ge4/4i come up the hill. The first train I was expecting, hauled by 610, just didn’t appear. The next one was a suburban set, presumably a replacement for 610, and finally, the third train was hauled by 609. It was snowing very heavily by then, so I gave up for the day and went back to Filisur to warm up.

Things took a strange turn there with 616 appearing at 16:29 on the 16:35 Bergün - Chur, having covered the 9km from Bergün in -6 minutes. Now that’s fast! There was no indication anywhere of a retiming, including the departure board at Bergün. Then the 17:04 to Davos waited 20 minutes for passengers off the Bernina Express, a train that’s not due to connect. I hope none of the delayed passengers needed to make the booked 3 minute connection into the 17:32 from Davos.
