Swiss crocodile


One of the famous articulated electrics; the Rhatische Bahn had a metre gauge croc also. The SBB/CFF one was designated Ce 6/8II (later partly Be 6/8II) and dated from 1919–1922.  They became an icon of Swiss railways and the Gotthardbahn in particular. More info here.

For fans we recommend the book Faszination Krokodil - Bilder einer Eisenbahnlegende published in 2013.
