    Looks like RhB 2-8-0 G 4/5 has been out for the last couple of days working scheduled freight services, from Samedan to Scuol-Tarasp and back.

    And a video, though some won't like it as it contains music!

    Interesting of course to see freight on a narrow gauge line

    And another video, from Monday. Load 5 this time! They're being used as crew refresher runs by the sounds of it, as obviously a lot of the railtours have been cancelled.

    They transport a lot of freight on the RhB. Pure freight trains aren't that common, but there is a lot of tail traffic hooked on to the back of the railcars.
