BN (Bern - Neuchâtel) Be 4/4 761, built 1953,
coupled with EBT BDe 2/4 240 and VHB De 4/4 259 (both built 1932).
Only three units of this type (including one for the GBS) were built
with a power of 1470 kW, speed of 110 km/h, length of 23700 mm and
weight of 64 t. When built they were the most powerful passenger power
cars of the world. The highly successful RBe 540 series (still operated
today by SBB CFF FFS) and similar power cars for other private railways
were derived from the Be 4/4 761 to 763.
