Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Brienz Rothorn Bahn, verbogene Schienen. Im Winter 2011/2012 lag auf der Brienz Rothornbahn so viel Schnee wie zum letzten Mal 1967. Der Schnee drückte seitlich auf die Schienen des Typs S20 aus dem Jahr 1892. Dadurch brach eine der Schienen und das Gleis musste vor der Saisoneröffnung auf einer Länge von 60 m erneuert werden.
English: Bent rails on display at the Brienz station of the Brienz Rothorn railway. In the winter of 2011/2012, more snow accumulated on the Rothorn than in any year since 1967. At 2000m above sea level the pressure generated by this enormous field of snow was enough to push 60m of the trackwork out of alignment by some 1.5m. This recovered section dating from 1891 shows just how much force was involved. With only 14 days to go until opening for the 2012 season the entire 60m section was replaced and ready for service on time.
