Remarks & Notes |
Ge 4/4 II # 630 of the Rhaetian Railway is pulling the short freight train (empty ciment tank cars) from Preda through the Bever valley to Samedan. Since the beginning of November (winter timetable), the Rhaetian Railway has officially decommissioned the locomotives of the series Ge 6/6 II 701 to 707 (# 702, 705 and 707 were still active at the end) and the Ge 4/4 I of the series 601 to 610 (# 603, 605 and 610 still active), i.e. they are no longer in regular service. In front of the freight trains you can see now the Ge 4/4 III and Ge 4/4 II (these partly in double traction). This particular train to supply the construction site for the Albula tunnel II in Preda was pulled regularly by locomotives of type Ge 4/4 I before.
