$485.00
Description
The Ge6/6-I is a rod-driven, six-axle, boxcab electric locomotive that appeared in 1921 with the electrification of the Albula Line. Affectionately known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," two of these locomotives are still in operation today as preserved, operational units. In the 1980s, when it was in active service, it pulled green EW I passenger cars, baggage cars, and freight cars loaded with logs.
A set combining a locomotive, baggage car, and passenger cars, reminiscent of the Ge6/6-I, also known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," a historical electric locomotive that appeared more than 100 years ago and remains highly popular on the Rhaetian Railway
