Thusis
A steam-hauled excursion ran over the Rhaetian Railway's Albula line in 1971, hauled by two veteran G4/5 2-8-0s, 107 and 108, dating from 1906. The engines were kept in working order by the RhB for occasional use. 107 had brought the train from Chur to Thusis, and is seen there after 108 had been attached as pilot for the more heavily graded sections ahead. The locos are still in existence today, and can be seen occasionally on special excursions, albeit single-headed and over relatively short stretches of the Rhaetian system.
