It wasn’t difficult to decide where to go today. The weather forecast was best in the north and there was a pair of Ge4/4is booked to work Glacier Expresses 903 and 910 from Chur to Disentis and back. The snow was really deep in the Rhein Gorge so any ideas of getting the Glaciers there soon faded and I settled on an old favourite, the curve between Castrisch and Ilanz.

The morning was fairly sunny, although not as clear as I would have liked, and the hourly Ge4/4ii hauled Scuol - Disentis trains kept me busy. Fortunately most of the silly liveried engines were elsewhere and only 619 in “Bernina 100” colours interrupted a solid parade of red. 610 and 603 duly appeared on Glacier 903, overkill for a six coach train but still very nice to see.

By early afternoon the cloud was building up and by the time the pair returned on Glacier 910, the light had gone. There was no point in hanging around and I returned to Filisur.
