Remarks & Notes 
The self-propelled 0-6-0+0-6-0 steam snow blower Xrot d # 9213 of the Rhaetian Railway, built in 1910 by SLM Winterthur as R # 1051 for the then independent Bernina Railway, has been preserved as a historic vehicle since 1976. Until 2020, demonstration trips with the impressive machine were carried out in winter in the area of the Bernina Pass at around 2250 meters above sea level. Then a comprehensive overhaul was due. A single employee of the Rhaetian Railway refurbished the Xrot d # 9213 at the Pontresina depot and it is now complete. A load test run over the grade of 7.0 % between Pontresina and Surovas was made, and now the vehicle is returning backwards to Pontresina.
