When the series 1041 was built, it was the first time for the
company Simmering-Graz-Pauker AG that it had been involved in the
development of locomotives. The companies AEG, BBC, ELIN, and SSW
were responsible for the electrical part. From 1952, 25 locomotives
were delivered to the Austrian Federal Railways.
The new locomotives hauled the train of the American armed forces
"Mozart" from Vienna to Salzburg and carried the flag of the United
States of America.
After the decommissioning of the locomotive, the Verein ARGE
1041.15 acquired it, converted it as far as possible to its
original technical state, and has since used it for nostalgia
trips.
