TPF - Switzerland During the 1940s GFM (now Transports Publics Fribourgeois, TPF) bought seven large electric motor cars, 5 with luggage space ABDe4/4 161-165 and 2 without ABe4/4 166-167. Of these only 161 and 166 are now left in service as spare units. In the picture is ABDe4/4 161 stabled in Sâles. The picture was taken from the cab of the other one, ABe4/4 166!

TPF - Switzerland The electric brake was not working anymore, but for the rest electric motor car ABe4/4 166 from 1947 was performing without problems! It replaced a more modern motor car (that broke down) for the combined passenger-and-freight service between Bulle and Romont. Bulle, 24-11-2005 Digital photo by Marco van Uden
