Remarks & Notes 
"Rhaetian Crocodile" or "C-C" Ge 6/6 I # 415 (built in 1929) had to be completely rewired after a cable fire. It was also rust repaired and repainted in the original brown. A special paint was sprayed over it, which will be removed after about a year (solvent-based liquid rubber in pearl / metallic effect, also called Chameleon or Flip Flop paint). The action was apparently initiated and paid for by two well-known model train manufacturers. The locomotive is now operational again and was on a driver training run from Davos Platz to Davos Glaris and back. Now it is moving to the depot area in Davos Platz. About Chameleon sprayed paint: When moving around, chameleon paint will change colour. The light reflection on chameleon spray paint gives the multi-coloured changing special effect.
