Model: Electric locomotive series Be 4/6 of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). Conversion version up to the time of discontinuance. Fir-green basic color with traffic-gray landing gear. With sleeve buffer. Longitudinal and front side driver's cab doors partially welded and without transition plates. With covering system, with driving authorization signal and with Integra-Signum magnets. Longitudinal side cooling coils with 11 vertical holders. Locomotive operating number 12323. Operating condition at end of the year 1970.

In June 1917, SBB ordered two test books (Be 4/6 12301 and 12302) for the electrical operation on the Gotthard for heavy express train and passenger train traffic. Even during the construction of the test books, SBB decided in May 1918 to make a first modified series order with SLM and BBC, which included the Be 4/6 12303-12312. They formed a significant further development of the above-mentioned Be 4/6 12302. As early as July 1918 there was an initial connection order for the Be 4/6 12313-12318, followed by two more lots in 1920/21 as Be 4/6 12319-12328 and 12329-12342. These first electric Gotthard express train locomotives then began their service between February 1920 and April 1923. Their appearance determined a box-shaped structure on a stable frame reinforced at the crucial points. In doing so, the frame mounted on the two bogies using rotating pans with pre-running chisel-wheel set in each case. In each bogie, two traction motors each acted on a low-mounted blind shaft, which was connected to the driving wheel sets via simple coupling rods. By 1929, the Be 4/6 moved all the important fast trains on the electrified routes and, of course, above all over the Gotthard. Only then did the new AE 4/7 begin to challenge them in the field and until 1938 their deployment in the express train service over the Gotthard was largely finished. They were now running ahead of regional and freight trains, and WAS finally came to an end in 1962 with the increasing commissioning of the AE 6/6. The Be 4/6 moved into a somewhat "flatter" terrain and found themselves again at the depots Biel, Lucerne and Winterthur. But now their age became apparent, as their susceptibility to repair and maintenance intensity increased significantly. In April 1965, the Be 4/6 12312 was the first, but in the following years, more and more excerpts from the gap in the ancient Gotthard express trains. As the last Mohican, the Be 4/6 12339 finally had to resign on February 29, 1976. After all, three copies were retained: The Be 4/6 12320 was subjected to an extensive main inspection in 1975 after its expiry with the extensive restoration of its original state. It then worked for many years as operational museum locomotive of the SBB and today belongs to the foundation of the SBB Historic. After intermediate stations as a monument locomotive in Baden and the exhibition in the Lucerne Transport House, the Be 4/6 12 332 arrived at the Erstfeld depot under the supervision of the SBB Historic Team Erstfeld. The Be 4/6 12339 was acquired by the Association Swisstrain at the end of 2009 after a long stay in Italy and is now back in Swiss custody at Le Locle Depot.
