<p>E 225.001 on exhibition on Masarykovo's railway station, Prague, 1995

<p>This unique loco was built in 1903 by famous Czech inventor Fr.Krizik
for planned electrification of Vienna's city railway. However, these
plans were not realized. In 1927, after electrification of Praha's
city railways, this engine was used here. 
In 1962, when voltage in Praha was raised from 1500 V to 3000 V was
this loco withdrawned and preserved in National Technical Museum.
