The prototype: The Ge 4/4 II 611 of the Rhaetian Railway

The Ge 4/4 II 611 is part of a series of 23 electric locomotives that were put into service by the Rhaetian Railway between 1973 and 1985. These locomotives were developed to replace the ageing Ge 6/6 I "Crocodiles" and to meet the increasing demands of passenger and freight traffic. With an output of 1,700 kW and a maximum speed of 90 km/h, they were suitable for use on the entire RhB route network.

The Ge 4/4 II 611, originally delivered in green with chrome lettering, was later repainted in the typical RhB red. In April 2024, it was restored to its original green condition with chrome lettering by the Green & Chrome Foundation and added to the RhB fleet as a nostalgic locomotive.
