Prototype information
A specially heavy, powerful locomotive able to master steep grades on a curving line was needed for freight service on the Gotthard route. Locomotives were developed in the classes Be 6/8 III and Ce 6/8 III that entered railroad history with the nickname "Crocodile" due to their striking appearance. The articulated design of these units fulfilled the long-standing requirement for trouble-free transport of freight over the Gotthard. Since any new improvements were always applied to these locomotives, there are a large number of variations that are unmistakable whether in the green or brown paint scheme that hold a special fascination for everyone.
