to be shoveled into the one thousand five hundred degree furnace it's not an easy job but may have gessner loves his work he's been working as a stoker for the narrow gauge railway since last august. chuck and i heard on the radio that they were looking for stokers so i decided to apply and was lucky enough to get picked for. the train might be from the nine hundred fifty s. but it runs on a modern timetable and several times a day it climbs up the broken manton to the peak at an altitude of around eleven hundred meters in the winter the peak is often covered in snow. this makes it a special treat for passengers even if they're sometimes greeted by a snow storm at the top they just have to make sure to bundle up. at each stop the crewman regularly carry out inspections whatever the weather. the worst part is the wind and when the snow freezes it feels like needles pricking your face and when you get off the train you almost get blown over. fifteen minutes later the train trundles back towards the valley the next stop is very good order where guests now lives. the colorful town in the heart
