LGB L24602 G electric locomotive Ge 4/6 of RhB

Electric locomotive Ge 4/6 of RhB
Back in 1900, the RhB began to think about the electrification of its routes. Against the background of the electrical operation still in its infancy, the planned route from Bever to Scuol in the Engadin was planned as a test route. Several Ge 4/6 series locomotives were ordered, which were delivered between 1912 and 1914. Especially the locomotives 351 to 355 delivered by the SLM and MFO proved to be very good and with their output of 560 kW and the maximum speed of 55 km/h were able to meet all requirements. The originally green-painted locomotives were between 1920 and 1923 painted on the same brown as in the old locomotives till today. The locomotives were actually to be discarded after the delivery of the Ge 4/4 I, but WAS was not possible due to the increase in traffic in the 1950s and 1960 years. The locomotives were partly modernized and remained in use until the 1970s.
