The world's steepest cogwheel railway (up to 48.0 %) from Alpnachstad up to the Pilatus mountain started the operation after the winter break 4 days ago only, because there is much snow in the upper part of the line yet. Railcar Bhe 1/2 # 30, which was built in 1967 only (most of the railcars date from 1937!), in the golden publicitypaint scheme (adhesives) for the Carl F. Bucherer luyury watch brand of Lucerne (compagny was founded in 1888, 1 year before the Pilatus railway was opened), is leaving the Aemsigen crossing station over the traverser, running as second train 9b up to the Pilatus.
