Austrian 4061 class electric


A total of 25 of this Bo-Bo type were delivered from Floridsdorf - 12 in 1956 and 13 in 1959 - for light express train service, and the unusual feature was a baggage compartment, although it isn't clear if this was ever used.  In 1976 they were reclassified as 1046 class. One example, 4061.13, was converted back to its original appearance and preserved as a Nostalgie-Lok.
