On the network of the Rhaetian Railroad it is the class Ge 4/4 II locomotives, which with their 2,300 horsepower and their maximum speed of 90 km/h / 56 mph have no problems pulling all kinds of trains. The first locomotive of this class was delivered to the RhB as early as 1973 at that time still in the dark green paint scheme and with round headlights. Updated and converted several times among other things, the locomotives were equipped with rectangular headlights almost all of them are still in use. From commuter trains up to the Glacier Express, you can still experience these locomotives. Most of the locomotives in this class have a special paint scheme or promotional films applied to them.
