1950

In order to reduce the operating costs of the shunting service on the Sihlpost site in Zurich, the tracks were electrified in the early fifties and the Swiss Post procured from SLM and Sécheron a two-axle, electric tractor with rod drive. This unit is identical to TeIII 121-138 units of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS).
