Having cleared the line of snow earlier in the morning, diesel-powered number 33 and its un-numbered cousin, descend the Montenvers railway with extreme caution. Just behind the snow-clearing train are cabins 46 and 62 taking electric power from the overhead live wires. The carriages had been released from the upper station at Montenvers Mer de Glace by the snow clearing operations and would hopefully be in passenger use later on on this day.
