An electric locomotive built in 1925/26. The nickname of this class of locomotives is ‘Austrian Crocodile’. These locomotives used to drive heavy trains along the mountain routes of Austria. [German]
The locomotive shown above is still used for driving vintage trains through the Austrian landscape. I came across this ‘crocodile’ at a railway festival performed by the Südbahn Museum (Museum about the Semmering Railway) in Mürzzuschlag.
