Swiss Federal Be 6/8 I |
| Description: |
Crocodile on freight train on the Gotthard Tunnel line. 14253 was built in 1921 and withdrawn from ordinary service in 1983 but was retained at Erstfeld and operated on a regular revenue freight schedule for the benefit of enthusiasts. Note the water crane for steam locomotives - although most swiss lines were electrified steam locomotives were held for certain services, particularly emergency needs if wires were down, etc. However by this date steam was gone and some diesels were available for emergencies or work trains. |

Ae 8/14 in Erstfeld Enginehouse |
| Description: |
No. 11801's 16 drivers deliver a one hour horsepower rating of 11,100. The locomotive uses a Bucholi drive which employs a gear ouside the driver on one end of each driving axle. The locomotive was built in 1931 to reduce doubleheading on the Gotthard Tunnel route - from Erstfeld to the entrance of the Gotthard Tunnel is a climb of 2,080 feet in 18 miles. The tunnel is under more than 6,000 feet of solid rock. At 9 miles it is not the longest Swiss tunnel but it is the oldest major tunnel - opened 1/1/1882. The locomotive was operated on a regular revenue freight schedule at this date for the enjoyment of enthusiasts. |

11,100 Horsepower Swiss Ae8/14 on Freight |
| Description: |
Only 3 locomotives of this wheel arrangement (2-4-2-4-2+2-4-2-4-2) were built - one each in 1931, 1932 and 1940. The design was intended to reduce double heading on the 2.75% grades climbed by Gotthard Tunnel freight and passenger trains but it was found more practical to build smaller units which could be MU'd. No.11801 had a one hour horsepower output of 11,100. It is pulling a freight on the Gotttard Tunnel Route. |
