Snow Breaking on the Wengeralp Railway

January 01, 1903 | 0 min

This film gives a fine panoramic view of this wonderful railway track through immense gorges and cuttings and snow baulks of from 15 to 20 feet high on either hand. Large squads of men are met at short intervals on this trip, busily and deftly clearing away the huge snow accumulations - in fact cutting the railway path through solid snow-wreaths. Then we see the Railway Hotel on the summit of the Wenger Alp and other group of snow diggers displaying great activity, and filling car load after car load with the frozen snow until at the signal for stopping time, they rush wildly and gladly away, waving their shovels aloft in triumph at the day's work accomplished.
