The class Ge 4/4 II locomotives with their 2,300 horsepower and a maximum speed of 90 km/h / 56 mph can be seen pulling all kinds of trains on the Rhaetian Railroad network. As early as 1973 the first locomotive of this class – at that time still in a dark green paint scheme and with round headlights – was delivered to the RhB. Updated and converted several times – among other things the locomotives were equipped with rectangular headlights – almost all these units are still in use. These locomotives can be seen from commuter trains up to the Glacier Express. This locomotive, the so-called Pullman Locomotive, runs in a special paint scheme. In the future road number 626 can be seen and admired on the Rhaetian Railroad.
This electric locomotive is the class Ge 4/4 II, road number 626, of the Rhaetian Railroad in a special paint scheme. All 4 wheelsets are driven by two powerful motors.
