This Era IV model shines with its characteristic blood orange paintwork, the umber-grey roof and running gear as well as extensive technical features such as digital operation, AC sound and individually switchable lighting functions.

The prototype: The legendary ÖBB class 1020

After the Second World War, 44 DRG class E 94 locomotives remained in Austria. Due to their reliability and efficiency, they quickly became indispensable workhorses for the ÖBB. Three more locomotives of this type were ordered in 1952, and in 1954 the series designation changed from E 94 to 1020. For five decades, the 1020 series shaped freight train and ramp service in almost all of Austria and became an icon of the Austrian railroad system.
