Registration country:
The Ee 3/3 IV represents the most modern version of the Ee 3/3 and
it was specially designed for service in frontier stations. The
complicated equipment needed for four different electrical systems
required a higher and wider body in front of and behind the cab and
a reduction in power. Nevertheless, thanks to a modern crank drive,
a maximum speed of 60 km/h can be attained.
The Ee 3/3 IV are used in French frontier stations (mostly Geneva -
series 16551 to 16556) and Italian frontier stations (mostly
Chiasso - series 16557 to 16560) on similar duty to previous
versions. All locomotives were equipped with a multiple drive in
1994 similar to the Ee 3/3 II series. During the upgrade the
locomotives received new service numbers: Ee 934.
They were occasionally used to haul passenger trains between La
Plaine and Geneva when the SBB-CFF-FFS BDe 4/4 II were being
repaired, due to the 1500V DC catenary.
