Product Information:
The Ge6/6-I, affectionately known as the “Rhaetian Crocodile,” is a six-axle, rod-driven box-style electric locomotive that
made its debut in 1921 with the electrification of the iconic Albula Line. For decades, it faithfully hauled both freight and
passenger trains, and remarkably, more than 100 years later, two units are still preserved in full working order. These
legendary locomotives aren’t just for show—they regularly operate on seasonal and event services, often running alongside
historic passenger coaches and open-air panorama cars, proving their legacy is very much alive!
