The inmates aboard Bernina Express working 961 from Davos to Tirano were treated to a glorious view of snow covered mountain peaks and deep blue skies on 15 October 2009. Yet many of them seemed more interested in gawping at the bloke standing on the hillside taking pictures of their train. Wondering, no doubt, how someone could survive the harsh conditions beyond their air-conditioned confinement. Motor coaches 46 and 44 hauled the train.
