With its unusual axle arrangement (1A)’Bo(A1)’, the locomotives of
the 1670 class had a special position in the ÖBB vehicle fleet. The
two middle driving axles are firmly mounted in the frame, the outer
driving axles are combined with the neighbouring running axles to
form a bogie.
The locomotives were initially intended for express train service,
especially on the Salzburg – Innsbruck line.
The 1670.02 was built in 1928 by the Krauss & Co locomotive factory
in Linz. It was based in Innsbruck from 1965 until it was withdrawn
from service in September 1980 and had the fir green colour scheme
and no ÖBB logo until the end.
