Summary edit

Description
English: Rotary snowplow RhB Xrotd 9213 working on the Bernina Line at Lago Bianco, Switzerland. The two red multiple units in front are pulling a special car that scrapes snow off the snow walls to enlarge side clearance. This picture was taken during a special event for photographers, but operations like this were a common sight as late as the 1960s. Today, the Xrotd is rarely used, only when there is a real lot of snow to clear, and it's kept in running condition mainly for the pleasure of railfans.
Deutsch: Dampfschneeschleuder der RhB, die Xrotd 9213, im Einsatz auf der Berninalinie am Lago Bianco. Die beiden Triebwagen ziehen einen Spezialwagen, der Schnee von den Seitenwänden abkratzt um das Lichtraumprofil zu vergrössern. Das Bild wurde an einem Spezialanlass für Fotografen aufgenommen, aber solche Einsätze waren durchaus typisch bis in die 60er-Jahre. Heutzutage wird die Xrotd nur noch bei sehr viel Schnee gebraucht, und wird hauptsächlich zur Freude von Eisenbahnfans einsatzfähig gehalten.
