Front Cover Photo: Innsbruck based class
2080.001
seen at Ehrwald on February 12th 1999 during a pause
for the crew to clear ice
from the 'sharp end'. This inhenious machine has the
capability to turn 360
degrees on its chassis, so it is far
less likely to become stranded. However it has no
answer for the avalanche conditions which prevailed later
in the month when the lines both North and West from Innsbruck were closed.
