RhB Winterdampf Part 2 - Triple Header on the grade - Thusis to Stuls

Part 2 shows scenes from the triple header (2 G 4/5 and 1 G 3/4 assaulting the grade (max. 3.5%) between Thusis and Stuls on March 18. Due to the tight timetable with many opposing regular trains the engines are battling hard on the grade keeping the train between 35 and 45 km/h at all times.
On March 18 and 19, 2017, Steam Adventure Tours and Club 1889 organized a two-day steam train excursion (“RhB Winterdampf”) to the Engadin. The excursion began on March 18 in Landquart where a doubleheader (2 G 4/5 narrow gauge steam engines) took our train to Thusis. In Thusis, a third engine joined the train (a G 3/4) and the tripleheader took our train over the Albula Line to Samedan. On March 19, we rode with a shorter train, pulled by just one G4/5 first to Pontresina to watch a presentation of historic and modern RhB (Rhätische Bahn) engines and snow removal equipment. Later that day, we run to Zernez and from their back to Samedan. Behind us, a short mixed train pulled by the G 3/4 followed us to Zernez and back. On the way back from Zernez to Samedan, the two steam trains passed each other several times. The trip concluded with our train running back to Chur, this time pulled by a historic Ge 6/6' and thereafter, with a standard gauge special train pulled by a BDe 4/4 historic motor coach to Zurich. Despite the not so great weather, it was a very enjoyable steam excursion which was perfectly organized by Club 1889, Steam Adventure Tours and RhB.
