Caption | Delivered between April 1941-May 1945, 12 units (No. 10801-10812), discarded until 1983. In the post-war years, they were the most modern locomotives on the Gotthard. With the appearance of the Ae 6/6, however, the star of this series sank rather quickly, in 1959 they carried the last express trains over the mountain. They then migrated to subordinate mountain services and partly also to the lowlands, especially on the Basel-Lucerne line. The aesthetically well-designed machines were afflicted with numerous defects |
Caption (German) | Ablieferung zwischen April 1941-Mai 1945, 12 Exemplare (Nr. 10801–10812), Ausrangierung bis 1983. In den Nachkriegsjahren waren sie die modernsten Lokomotiven am Gotthard. Mit dem Auftauchen der Ae 6/6 sank aber der Stern dieser Serie ziemlich rasch, 1959 führten sie die letzten Schnellzüge über den Berg. Sie wanderten alsdann in untergeordnete Bergdienste und teilweise auch ins Flachland ab, dies insb. auf die Strecke Basel-Luzern. Die ästhetisch wohlgelungenen Maschinen waren mit zahlreichen Mängeln behaftet |
