2601 to 2619, was the only of its type on the SMB. Because of
long downhill sections on the line it is equipped with a
Riggenbach brake. After the SMB electrified in 1932, it was
used for work trains and as emergency reserve, from 1966 to
1986 it was exhibited at the station Oberdorf. After a revision
in Meiningen in 1992, it is operational again, maintained by
Dampfbahn Bern and registered at bls AG. Here trying to hide
