Bernina Krokodil Ge 4/4 182

Diese E-Lok fÃ¼r Gleichstrombetrieb ist ein EinzelstÃ¼ck und wurde 1928 als Ge 4/4 Nr. 82 von der Bernina-Bahn in Betrieb genommen. Lieferant der Lokomotive war SLM fÃ¼r den mechanischen Teil und Secheron Genf fÃ¼r die Elektronik. Die Lok wurde fÃ¼r den GÃ¼terbetrieb beschafft, wurde aber auch fÃ¼r den Personenverkehr eingesetzt.
In 1984 wurde die Lok an die franzÃ¶sische La Mure Bahn (SGLMG) verkauft, wo sie aber nie richtig im Betrieb war und nur vor sich hin rostete. Im Jahre 1999 konnte durch den Club 1889 eine RÃ¼ckfÃ¼hrung in die Schweiz ermÃ¶glicht werden. Seit 2000 ist man an der aufwÃ¤ndigen Restaurierung mit dem Ziel der Wiederinbetriebnahme dieser historisch wertvollen Lok.

Bernina Crocodile Ge 4 / 4 182

This electric locomotive designed to operate using DC current is unique, and was taken over in 1928 as the Ge 4/4 No. 82 from the Bernina railway. The mechanical portion of this locomotive was provided by SLM, the electrical portion by Secheron Geneva. The engine was procured to be used primarily for freight traffic but was also used for passenger service.
In 1984 the locomotive was sold to the French La Mure Railway (SGLMG), but was never placed into service because the operating voltage required did not match that of the La Mure Railway and thus the locomotive was just sitting there rusting away. In 1999, the Club 1889 managed to have this locomotive transferred back to Switzerland. An extensive restoration program started in the year 2000 with the aim to place this valuable historical locomotive back into service.
