Set of two Lorry Drivers

After the two prototypes of the class Ge 6/6 II delivered in 1957 turned in very good results, another five locomotives of this class were delivered in 1965. They differed from the prototypes mostly in the two large end windows, the prototypes having three. Over the years several changes and conversions were made to the locomotives, the most striking being the red paint scheme starting in the mid-Eighties. Starting at the turn of the millennium the double-arm pantographs were replaced by single-arm versions, which had become a standard on the RhB. In the last few years these impressive units were used only in freight service, but they have since been retired.
