RhB electric shunter class Ge 2/2 #161, Poschiavo
RhB Ge 2/2 161 seen at Poschiavo. It is one of two DC electric locomotives built in 1911 for the Berninabahn (BB) company. The then still brown liveried machines were given the numbers Ge 2/2 61 and 62, and were equipped with Lyra pantographs. After the Rhaetian Railway takeover of the BB, they were given the new numbers they still bear. Today, they work mainly as shunting locomotives in Poschiavo. Photo taken Sunday 22 June 2003. Historical ABe 4/4 EMU behind.
