Bemo modernizes the technology of the Rhaetian Crocodile and equips
it with LED lighting as well as a Next18 digital interface.
The replacement of the total of 57 steam locomotives was initiated
in 1912/13 with the single-frame locomotives Ge 2/4 and Ge 4/6,
which were powered by blind shafts and connecting rods. From 1921,
the RhB focused on articulated bogie locomotives: By 1929,
SLM/BBC/MFO produced a total of 15 of the 1076 HP C’C’-locomotives
for the newly electrified lines. The legendary RhB "Crocodiles"
were able to demonstrate their performance, especially on the steep
Albula line. Some machines visually differed due to the
installation of additional roof resistors. The locomotives are not
only technical masterpieces but also an important part of the
cultural heritage of the RhB, which fascinates both railway fans
and tourists alike.
