Locomotive Ge 4/4 II # 626 "Malans" of the Rhaetian Railway, built in 1984 by SLM and BBC, got a new cobaltblue/ivory paintscheme to match the parlor cars in september 2024. The design of the locomotive was made by graphique artiste Michaela Hardmeier in cooperation with the RhB, the desire came from the association Pro Salonwagen RhB, to have a faster locomotive then the "Crocodile" Ge 6/6 I in front of the Alpine Classic Pullman Express (ACPE) cars. A three-dimensional signet “Festina Lente” ("make haste slowly") made of cast brass was attached to the lower half of the body, as it is also attached to the parlor cars, and which was specially created in 1998 by Süsskind SGD in Chur for the renovated RhB saloon coaches, based on the CIWL signet. Ge 4/4 II # 626 is in the normal duty with freight or the Glacier Express trains. This day she pulled the PE 925 GLACIER EXPRESS St.Moritz-Zermatt between St.Moritz and Chur and is just crossing the 137 meter long and 35 meter high Schmittentobel viaduct between Filisur and Alvaneu.
