The photo shows the steam locomotive of the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn on the accident site near Gletsch, which was hit by an avalanche during snow clearing work on the Gletsch-Muttbach line, lying deep in the snow. The locomotive driver, the stoker and two photographers were torn down about 100m, whereby only the locomotive driver could be rescued alive, taken on 16 May 1965.
