Remarks & Notes |
To celebrate 150 years of the Nationalbahn, founded in 1875 and bankrupt a few years later already, there was a large railway event held in Etzwilen this day. The diesellocomotive Bm 4/4 II # 18451 of SBB Historic in Olten, built in 1939 by SLM, BBC and Sulzer as Am 4/4 # 1001 with 110 km/h maximum velocity and 611 kW (together with sister # 1002), was the station shunter this day. This locomotive was used in earlier days on the never electrified SBB line between Etzwilen and Singen. In 1963 rebuilt by the SBB industrial works with change of transmission for 75 km/h maximum velocity and increased traction power. In 1989 declared historic locomotive. |
