Albula fast train (1978)
Published: 02/07/2007Posted in: Gallery, Trains
The engines of class Ge 4/4 II were introduced in 1973, and thanks to their high performance of 1700 kW and their reliability, quickly became the universal locomotive for the main RhB network, used for passenger and freight trains alike. They had the then usual green livery with chrome letters and numbers and were named after villages along the RhB line.
The coaches of type EW I were also green and showed the then new RhB logo in yellow.
We are following such a fast train headed by Ge 4/4 II 619 “Samedan”. Some visitors might remember this green epoch with a little nostalgia.
